Brenda Watson's Fiber 35: Nature's Weight Loss Secret

Sunday, March 11 at 1:30 p.m. – Brenda Watson's Fiber 35: Nature's Weight Loss Secret

In a new program, Brenda Watson's Fiber 35: Nature's Weight Loss Secret, airing Sunday, March 11 at 1:30 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), Brenda Watson, N.D., best-selling author and founder of five natural health clinics, shows viewers how to lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight for life. This special follows on the heels of her first PBS special, Brenda Watson’s H.O.P.E. Formula, which created a nationwide fan base of individuals who want to reap the lifelong benefits of high fiber, omega-3 oils, probiotics and enzymes.

In the United States alone, approximately 63 percent of men and 55 percent of women are overweight. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, each year in this country more than 400,000 deaths are caused by excessive body weight and physical inactivity. In fact, only tobacco use causes more deaths, accounting for 435,000 deaths per year. Unlike many popular low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets that encourage dieters to adopt unhealthy eating habits, Brenda Watson's Fiber 35 offers a safe and effective lifetime eating program that uses the power of fiber to lose weight, prevent disease and extend life expectancy.

Scientific research has shown that fiber and fiber-rich foods help regulate blood sugar, control hunger and increase satiety (feeling full), all of which are essential to losing weight and keeping it off.

Brenda Watson’s diet plan is based on consuming 35 grams of fiber every day; the majority of Americans consume less than half of that number. Too many processed foods and refined sugars have taken the place of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, leaving many people vulnerable to weight gain and poor health.

In addition to being a naturopathic doctor, Brenda Watson is an authority on natural digestive support, detoxification and internal cleansing. Her first book, Renew Your Life (2002), focuses on how nutrition, digestion, absorption, bacterial balance and intestinal permeability all play independent functions in the health of the gastrointestinal tract and the whole body. Renew Your Life also delves into the topics of detoxifying the body and organ systems, improving the selection and digestion of foods, increasing energy levels, achieving mental clarity and reaching and maintaining an ideal weight.

In 1996, Dr. Watson started the Renew Life School of Natural Therapies to teach medical professionals the benefits of colon hydrotherapy. The school currently certifies natural medical practitioners and medical doctors from all over the world in colon hydrotherapy and detoxification. During her years of clinical work with a holistic medical doctor specializing in cancer, Dr. Watson organized and educated patients on the benefits of nutrition programs for general wellness.
