East West Health
Weight Loss Clinic in Midvale, Utah
About East West Health
East West Health in Midvale uniquely combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern weight loss approaches, offering clients the benefits of ancient healing wisdom alongside contemporary wellness strategies. Our integrative approach recognizes that successful weight management involves balancing the body's energy systems while addressing lifestyle factors.
While our overall rating reflects the challenges of integrating different healing modalities, our clients who embrace our holistic approach often experience not just weight loss but improved overall health and vitality. We believe that sustainable weight management requires addressing the root causes of imbalance in the body, not just treating symptoms.
Services Offered
Our weight loss programs integrate acupuncture treatments specifically designed to reduce appetite, boost metabolism, and address emotional eating patterns. Traditional Chinese herbal formulations support digestive health and energy balance throughout your weight loss journey. We use ear acupuncture (auriculotherapy) which has shown particular effectiveness for appetite control and craving reduction. Cupping therapy helps improve circulation and lymphatic drainage to support detoxification processes. Our practitioners conduct detailed Traditional Chinese Medicine assessments to identify energetic imbalances contributing to weight gain. We also provide dietary therapy based on TCM principles, recommending foods that support your specific constitution. Stress reduction techniques including meditation and breathing exercises help address emotional eating triggers. Lifestyle counseling incorporates both Eastern and Western approaches to sustainable behavior change.

Why Choose East West Health
Our unique integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine with weight loss offers a holistic approach that addresses underlying imbalances rather than just symptoms. Acupuncture has thousands of years of documented use for digestive health and metabolism support. Our treatments often help with issues that contribute to weight gain like poor sleep, stress, and hormonal imbalances. Many clients appreciate the natural, drug-free approach to appetite control and metabolism support. We take time to understand each client's individual constitution and tailor treatments accordingly. Our approach often helps clients who haven't had success with conventional weight loss methods.
Insurance & Pricing
Some insurance plans cover acupuncture treatments, though coverage for weight loss specifically varies by provider. We accept most major insurance plans for acupuncture services and will verify your benefits. Cash pricing is available for all services with package deals offering savings on multiple treatments. Herbal formulations are typically not covered by insurance but are competitively priced. We offer sliding scale fees for clients with financial constraints who are committed to treatment.
First-Time Patient Tips
Arrive for acupuncture sessions well-hydrated but avoid large meals immediately beforehand. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to acupuncture points on arms and legs. Be patient with the process - Traditional Chinese Medicine works gradually to restore balance rather than providing quick fixes. Follow herbal medicine instructions carefully and report any unusual reactions promptly. Keep a food and symptom diary to help track progress and identify patterns. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine during treatment periods. Be open to dietary recommendations that may differ from conventional weight loss advice.
