A New Solution to a Serious Problem
Obesity is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the United States. Recent statistics show that more than 78 million people are affected by obesity, whether that's through diabetes, heart disease, cardiovascular issues, or even death. Millions try to lose weight every year to combat the negative effects that obesity brings about, but a large number of those people are unsuccessful. It can be easy for those without weight problems to say, "just lose the weight!" but unfortunately, weight loss isn't something that happens overnight. When done properly, it involves careful planning and professional help. When done incorrectly, it involves yo-yo dieting, fad diet solutions, and other unsafe methods.
Fad diets seen on TV can be encouraging, but the truth is most of these "programs" are less about healthy weight loss and more about losing weight fast. These unhealthy, unbalanced diets often foster weight gain, not weight loss over time.
Fortunately, more and more overweight adults and even children are turning to professionals for help, who not only help them achieve their weight loss goals but keep them on track and healthy for the long term. If you're looking for the highest quality medical weight loss in North Charleston, SC, look no further than Back 2 Health Physical Medicine.

Losing Weight and Getting Back 2 Health the Right Way
If you were to ask one of our experienced clinicians their tips for a healthy life, maintaining a healthy weight would be at the very top of the list. This is especially true given the prevalence of certain viruses like COVID-19, which can wreak havoc on the body of an unhealthy, overweight individual. Unfortunately, given the sheer number of diet plans and "miracle" weight loss supplements, dieting can be a confusing, counterproductive journey. To make matters worse, many of these weight loss programs are not medically tested or supervised, which is dangerous.
At Back 2 Health, our team is committed to helping our clients lose weight and maintain that weight loss, so they can live a healthy, fulfilling life.

A Safe Solution to Long-TermWeight Loss
If you were to ask someone on the street to name a popular fad diet, they probably wouldn't have much trouble. From Atkins to South Beach and Keto to Paleo, we've all heard of at least one popular weight-loss trend. The problem with these diets is that they only work for some people. Even then, the results are often short-lived.
If you're wondering whether you have been on or are currently using a fad diet, ask yourself these questions:
- Is there a "magic" food source that will melt the pounds off your body?
- Is the speed of weight loss unnatural or unrealistic?
- Can you achieve "weight loss" without proper diet and exercise?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, chances are it's a fad diet, and it most likely won't be very effective over the long run. With fad diets, balanced nutrition often takes the back seat to sketchy weight loss pills or extreme life choices - all of which are counterproductive to a healthy life.
If you have struggled with your weight for any length of time, there's no doubt you're stressed out trying to find an effective solution. You probably have many stories about following fad diets, taking unhealthy diet pills, or even dropping big bucks on expensive exercise equipment. If you're like most of our clients, you're still struggling with your weight, despite your best efforts. The common theme here is that all of your self-made attempts happened without the medical guidance of a true medical weight loss clinic in North Charleston, SC.
If this sounds like you, we've got great news. The safest, most effective solution to losing weight starts with the help of Back 2 Health's medical weight loss plans. Instead of choosing a fad diet, speak to one of our weight loss healthcare professionals. We can help you lose weight in a way that you find enjoyable, so you actually like
Factors That Contribute to Obesity
Obesity is a nuanced disease that involves excessive amounts of body fat. It's not just a cosmetic concern. It's a medical issue that raises a person's chance of severe diseases and health problems. Often, obese people have problems losing weight because of physiological, genetic, and environmental factors. There are many other contributing factors to weight gain, including:
Inactivity
People who live sedentary lifestyles will take in more calories than they burn off through exercise or day-to-day activities. Inactivity is a huge problem in today's society, especially with the constant presence of computers, smartphones, and tablets that encourage the user to stay glued to their screen.
Unhealthy Diet
If your daily food intake consists of high-caloric fast-food meals full of oversized portions, expect to gain weight quickly.
Liquid Calories
Alcoholic and other high-calorie drinks like sodas cause people to intake large amounts of calories without ever feeling full. When combined with a poor diet and lack of water intake, consuming liquid calories can be a significant contributor to weight gain.
Pregnancy
Weight gain is very common during pregnancy, but some women find it hard to lose the added pounds once they have given birth. With time, this weight gain will contribute to obesity.
Lack of Sleep
When you don't get enough sleep, your whole body suffers. If you're only getting a few hours of sleep a night, you may notice increased appetite and even hormone changes. Both factors can contribute to obesity.
Smoking Cessation
Quitting smoking is one of the healthiest choices you can make as an adult. However, sometimes smoking cessation causes weight gain. For some, this weight gain gets out of control and leads to obesity. Often times this happens as former smokers use food to cope with their withdrawals.
Stress
When you're stressed out, you may turn to a chocolate bar or cheeseburger as "comfort food" to deal with whatever problem you're facing. Turning to fast food and sweets is not a healthy way to deal with stress and can lead to obesity.
Consequences of Obesity
Although being obese is considered a physical condition, obesity's effects stretch far beyond a person's body composition and weight. Being overweight is associated with several long-term health problems. Many of these problems rank among the nation's leading reasons for premature death. Generally, the more excess weight you carry around, the more likely you are to develop negative complications with your health.
Individuals who are clinically obese have a heightened risk of the following ailments:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol)
- Cardiovascular Issues (stroke, heart attack, and more)
- Acid Reflux and Heartburn
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Joint Pain, Back Pain, and Orthopedic Issues
- Sleep Apnea
- Blood Clots
- Fatty Liver Disease
- Skin Infections
- Incontinence from Stress
- Breathing Problems
- Cancer (colon, uterus, esophagus, cervix, pancreas, prostate, and more)
- Severe Symptoms Resulting from COVID-19
The good news? Substantial weight loss is possible with diet, physical activity, and the help of a medical weight loss team. You do not have to be destined to live with obesity and a shorter life expectancy. Back 2 Health Physical Medicine is here to steer you down the path to a positive, healthy life for years to come.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A Lowcountry knife maker is paving the way in his industry and making history while doing it.
Quintin Middleton knows his way around a kitchen.
“My mom has four boys. She said, ‘You not going anywhere unless you know how to cook, bake. So like you need to make sure you know how to do something,’” Middleton said.
For this Lowcountry native, that something was gaining knowledge about knives by cooking and even by watching cartoons.
“I wanted to make a sword or make a knife and be like He-Man or Star Wars. And so I would take a tubing off my swing set, flatten it with a hammer and chase my brothers around the yard like, “Huhhh! I’m [Ninja Turtle’s] Leonardo,’ or something like that,” Middleton laughed.
His culinary craft continues to grow as a cut above the rest. Middleton opened Middleton Made Knives in North Charleston. It’s the first Black-owned knife shop in the country.
Each knife is custom-made with its own specialty skill. Middleton shares a standard knife takes anywhere from four to eight hours for him to craft at his home workshop in St. Stephen.
The process takes patience, as did Middleton’s journey to entrepreneurship. He credits a mentor for taking him in as an apprentice early on and helping him hone his hobby.
“He saw my determination about learning the craft. He always said if you’re serious, I’m serious so that notion to see a young person willing to learn, willing to drive and willing to put in the time. So he saw that and poured that time into me,” Middleton said.
Determination and faith is at the forefront of Middleton’s entrepreneurial endeavors.
“Any time I do any big business, anytime even opening this store, I had to pray. I said, ‘God show me where you need me to go. Show me how to do this,’” he said.
Now, Middleton is hoping to breathe life back into the community that helped raise him, by providing jobs to people in the area.
“My big motto for this season is each one, lift one. So if I can lift or inspire somebody while I’m here or if I can lift and inspire someone to do entrepreneurship, that’s my thing to breathe life into them.”
Middleton Made Knives is located at 2154 Noisette Boulevard in North Charleston.

Next year's High Water Festival lineup is here, featuring headliners Lord Huron, Mt. Joy, Arcade Fire and Counting Crows.
The two-day music festival at North Charleston's Riverfront Park is set for April 26-27, and it will be the first year local duo Shovels & Rope is not involved in the curation.
The indie rock and folk-forward bill includes one local band. Charleston's rock 'n' roll group Easy Honey will open the day on Saturday.
The full lineup is:
Saturday
Sunday
Fans can sign up for presale access to one-day and two-day tickets now, including options for General Admission (starting at $125 one-day, $225 two-day), GA+ ($275, $400), Stono Stage Bleacher Ticket/GA+ with bleacher seating ($325, $475), VIP ($410, $695) and Platinum ($925, $1,750).
High Water's general admission price compares to a recent $310 for three-day Atlanta festival Shaky Knees, $267 for four-day Tennessee camping festival Bonnaroo and $299 for three-day beachfront Gulf Shores festival Hang Out. Locally in comparison is Darius Rucker's two-day Riverfront Revival Festival at the same venue as High Water, which ran for $215 for general admission.
The High Water presale will run from 10-11 a.m. Nov. 14 at the lowest possible ticket price before an increase. Layaway plans are available, and $3 from each ticket sold will benefit yet-to-be-disclosed charities in the North Charleston area. Any remaining tickets will then be available to the public starting at noon on Nov. 14 at highwaterfest.com.
After organizational hiccups at last year's festival that included traffic snafus, a liquor license debacle and locker break-ins, the brand released a statement on social media promising traffic and parking improvements as well as a "world-class" overall experience this time around.
This will be the seventh annual High Water Festival. It was founded in 2017, and the original lineup included one artist who will be returning this year: Julien Baker. Baker is part of girl supergroup boygenius along with Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. That first rendition of High Water also featured The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Margo Price, Lucius and Dawes.
The War and Treaty are also High Water alums, playing the 2018 festival.

Kulture Klash, an eclectic celebration of the arts in Charleston, is back for its ninth edition on Nov. 16. This year’s edition of this one-day arts festival, originally founded in Charleston in 2007, takes over a brand-new arts venue located in North Charleston’s Navy Yard, Building64.
Building64 is also founded by the organizer behind Kulture Klash, David “Big Hair” Brisacher. Kulture Klash is an exciting event to introduce the community to Building 64, Brisacher said, because it’s a “great combination of all of the art forms.”
“It’s full circle for me, being out here and now having this venue — we used to be using this same space to do Kulture Klash, 10, 15 years ago,” Brisacher said. “Now to actually have this space that can be a canvas to create these sorts of events, it’s really awesome.”
There’s definitely something for everyone at this one-day event that brings together musical performances on two stages, interactive performance art pieces, on-site graffiti, dance performances and a massive visual arts showcase.
“You get to see over 100 visual artists,” Brisacher said of the lineup he curated with Scott Debus and Gustavo Serrano. “Not only do we have legendary street artists who will be doing murals and graffiti all over the building, but we’ll also have all these new up-and-coming artists on display by partnering with Charleston County School of the Arts and Academic Magnet.”
There will be musical performances from Chali2na, The Dubplates, Erode The Dream, V-Tones, Acid Hawk, Circle Back, Lefty Lucy, Orange Doors and more bands – as well as DJs like Cut Chemist, DJ jeffET and DJ Skitch. Also, don’t miss the performance artwork created in collaboration between Redux artist Jenifer Padilla and the Unbound Ballet Project, described by Brisacher as “a beautiful combination of dance and paint.”
Plus, the venue itself will be a work of art – with the murals and graffiti highlighted by awesome light installations by Lazer Catcher, Prizm Productions and Big Hair Productions.
Brisacher added Kulture Klash is a “party with a purpose,” as 100% of proceeds go towards raising funds for The Livity Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering low-income youth through cultural, educational and wellness initiatives.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Lowcountry community members are set to gather and honor local heroes for Veterans Day.
Mayor Reggie Burgess and the City of North Charleston will host their 22nd Annual Tribute to Veterans event Monday morning. For 14 consecutive years, the city has been selected as a regional site for Veterans Day by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Day National Committee. This is a big honor, as North Charleston is the only site in all of South Carolina.
Event leaders are anticipating over 300 veterans will be in attendance to be recognized and honored with a custom-designed commemorative coin.
A Charleston native, Colonel Joseph Dawson Jr., will be the keynote speaker at this special ceremony and will share his story of 28 years of service and a lifetime of giving back to his community.
TJ Rostin, the recreation director for the City of North Charleston, has attended this event for about nine years and said it is important to recognize veterans and what they have done for the country.
“It’s so great to see and meet all these men and women that come here today, listen to their stories, listen to all of the things they’ve been through, just how they feel about our country and what they’ve done so that we can do what we do every day,” Rostin said.
Rostin said that it is so special to see and hear from these veterans and see how much this event means to them.
“It’s just a wonderful event for us to be able to honor all of the men and women who have served our beautiful country in as many ways as they have. We don’t get to do this as often as I think we should, but today is just our day to pour all of our support and love and passion into what they have done for us for our country,” he said.
The Tribute to Veterans event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. Anyone is welcome to attend and honor these veterans. For more information about this event as well as Colonel Dawson’s story, click here.
There are several other ways to honor Lowcountry Veterans on Monday. American Legion Post 166 will be hosting a celebration at 11 a.m. at the Carolina Memorial Gardens and the City of Goose Creek will host a Veterans Day Ceremony also at 11 a.m. at John McCants Veterans Park. The Seabrook Island Club and the Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club will host their 13th Annual Veterans Day Charitable Golf Event Monday and Fort Moultrie is offering free admission all day in recognition.

Boeing to invest $1 billion to help increase 787 production in South Carolina

Dec 12 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab said on Thursday it plans to spend $1 billion to support increased production of its 787 Dreamliner widebody jets, as the U.S. planemaker works to meet an earlier output target of 10 a month by 2026.
Boeing plans to expand operations at its Charleston County, South Carolina, facility with the $1 billion investment in infrastructure upgrades and the creation of 500 new jobs over five years, the planemaker said in a joint announcement with the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
The investment and expansion lay the groundwork for "potential future rate increases driven by market demand," Boeing said. The U.S. planemaker faces pressure from European rival Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab which has announced plans to raise output of its competing A350 to 12 a month by 2028.
After a prolonged lull, demand for widebody planes is accelerating sharply as airlines renew capacity as demand grows for international travel.
Boeing is trying to ramp up plane output to generate needed cash, after a crippling strike this autumn halted production of all but its Dreamliner jets.
Boeing's announcement reaffirms an earlier target of 10 Dreamliner jets a month announced during a company investor day in 2022. Hitting that rate would be a steep climb for the planemaker, given existing production levels and challenges as Boeing wrestles with manufacturing quality problems.
Boeing has been trying to bring 787 production back to a rate of five a month by the end of 2024, after scaling back output earlier this year due to supply-chain delays in getting seats and heat exchangers. Boeing has said its 787 production rate was five per month during the last quarter of 2023.
