MTAT Auricular Therapy to Support Weight Reduction Living Protocols: part of a holistic approach
MTAT has been providing auricular therapy protocols to support weight loss over the last 15 years. We advocate for it to be used as part of holistic weight management plan, alongside a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise, in line with high grade clinical studies showing their effectiveness.
What does the research say?
Ear seeding (acupressure) shows promising outcomes for weight reduction in randomised control trials and their inclusion in systematic and meta analysis reviews for overweight and obese individuals. Larger effect sizes for lowering body weight and BMI were seen at 12 weeks compared with 4-6 and 8 weeks interventions.*
In their Systematic Review and Meta-analysis, Zhong et al (2020) show positive auricular acupuncture, auricular acupressure and auricular stimulation therapy outcomes for BMI, body weight, waist circumference. and body fat mass % reduction. Link to study.
Neuromodulation: Auricular Therapy Rewires the Brain for Metabolic Balance
Auricular therapy doesn’t just act on the body, it changes some neurotransmitter release and brain chemistry. Auricular therapy helps repattern neural circuits involved in appetite, reward, and emotional regulation offering a meaningful shift in how the brain responds to food, stress and metabolic cues. This helps to support sustainable weight loss and emotional balance including:
Appetite regulation (via ghrelin and leptin)
Reward and craving (dopamine)
Emotional resilience (serotonin)
Our clients report that MTAT Auricular Therapy for Weight Reduction Living Protocols continue to support them.
Receiving GLP-1 Medical Treatment Under Medical Supervision?
We know that receiving GLP-1 medical treatment for obesity under medical supervision(BMI over 30) is not a 'vanity issue', its treating a metabolic disorder that 'deserves real care.' (Dr Salas-Whalen.)
Since research shows that auricular therapy can help with appetite control and food cravings, our clients using GLP-1 injectables report that our auricular therapy treatments help them to maintain weight loss success, especially when adapting to titration changes and sustaining long term weight maintenance.
Auricular therapy also offers a gentle way to support side effects from using GLP-1 injectables like nausea, constipation and acid reflux to help you restore you health.
