Why are we overweight? Why do our bodies pack on the extra pounds? How can we possibly lose weight? What techniques work and what doesn’t work? What diet works best? Are there weight-loss medicines or herbs that work?

These are questions that Dr. Stephen Blythe, a family practitioner and nutritionist at DECH in Machias will be answering for us. Prior to attending medical school, he did graduate work for three years at Penn State University doing clinical nutritional research. He was also Tribal Nutritionist for the White Mountain Apache Tribe in White River, Arizona. The study of nutrition has been part of his medical practice for the past 25 years. It has also taken him to Central and South America where he does medical mission work.
