dr. timothy johnson has more. < losing weight? it can be a difficult task. many americans turn to popular weight loss clinics to help them? some on the advice of their doctors. but now a new study questions whether some of these clinics follow strict medical standards to help people safely lose weight. researchers at johns hopkins looked at nearly two hundred weight loss clinics in the greater washington d.c. metro area? finding that in most cases, the websites of these clinics did not include important guidelines from top medical groups involved in obesity management. and when the researchers contacted these centers directly by phone? only one in five indicated that they were in compliance with these guidelines. more research is needed to determine whether these findings are reflective of clinics across the country. in the united states? if this is a representative pitcure, it is bad news. so if you are looking to a weight loss clinic for help with obesity? do your homework. it may make or break your success. with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnso

dr. timothy johnson to explain why. < breast cancer is a terrifying diagnosis...and decades ago, removing the entire breast was the only answer? but then surgeons began to preserve normal breast areas by doing lumpectomies instead? now in a surprising new finding from researchers at the us agency for healthcare research and quality, the trend seems to be changing again. total mastectomies, complete removal of the breast - jumped by more than a third between 2005 and 2013. part of the reason for the increase was a doubling in the number of women opting for both breasts removed even if cancer is found only in one. actress angelina jolie made headlines when she had both her breasts removed, because she had a genetic mutation, which raises cancer risk. doctors suggest that some high-risk women prefer having the double surgery to the anxiety of having frequent mammograms and biopsies. survival rates are no different for women who have a mastectomy versus women who have a smaller lumpectomy. but double mastectomies do, of course, reduce the chance of developing cancer in the other breast. obvio

dr. timothy johnson takes a look at the findings. < sleep deprivation? it makes you cranky, gives you a headache, and hurts your ability to concentrate. now a new study from the university of chicago? finding that sleep debt may even contribute to excessive food intake? and altered hormone levels may be responsible. the researchers in this study kept fourteen subjects on a strict eating and sleeping schedule for four days? allowing half of them to get full nights of sleep, while restricting the others to only four and a half hours a night. what did they find? sleep restriction led to distinct changes in the levels of various "hunger hormones"? and reported increases in appetite. they also ate more snacks - especially ones high in fat and protein. this new research doesn't prove that lack of sleep makes you obese - especially because this looked at short-term sleep deprivation. but it does add weight to the argument that lack of sleep is bad for your health? and gives us all another reason to try and get that beauty rest: seven to eight hours a night, in
