Focus on Organic Baby Food

Your health care expert is Elizabeth Knapp, MD, Pediatrics, ARC Far West.

Is organic baby food really best for your baby?
Dr. Knapp believes it can be beneficial, especially before the age of two when the baby’s brain is developing at a rapid rate and the organs are most likely to be sensitive to exposure to harmful substances.

"Even small amounts of pesticide exposure is dangerous for babies because of their smaller body mass. Their brains are developing rapidly and are especially sensitive to neurotoxins at this age," says Dr. Knapp.

Health at Home

The next ARC Health at Home Program begins on May 2nd. A home-based weight loss program, Health at Home offers safe weight loss on your schedule using partial food and partial Optifast meal replacement along with weekly phone calls and monthly clinic visits.

ARC developed the three and a half month Health at Home program to allow participants to enjoy weight-loss success without the hassle of trekking through Austin traffic. Participants begin with a physical exam with Dr. Hillary Miller, the Weight Management Program medical director, and follow-up with Jennie Comstock, program director, via weekly conference calls.

We have appointments available all month and would love to see ARC patients have success in the program. If you, your family, or friends are interested, please call (512) 346-8888 or visit the Weight Management page for more information.
