Is Organic Milk healthier for you?

Organic milk: Does it help you lose weight?
Organic or non-organic? Whether we’re talking about fruits, veggies, meats or dairy, opinions abound.

While some claim it doesn’t make a difference, a study published in PLoS One proves that organic milk is healthier for you than conventional milk. Here’s why:
It’s all about the fatty acids
🐄 Cows producing organic milk are fed grass with high omega-3 fatty acids, while cows used for conventional milk are fed corn, which have higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids.
Organic milk has a healthier balance of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids in all types of milk but nonfat milk, which can aid weight loss or help maintain your weight./p>
In the samples taken in the study, the total amount of fat in the organic milk was the same as the conventional milk. But when comparing the types of fatty acids, organic milk had 62 percent more omega-3s and 25 percent fewer omega-6s.
Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential to a healthy diet. Omega-3s can be found in fish and flaxseed, while omega-6s can be found in many fried foods. The right balance of both is key. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids offer health benefits, but when it comes to milk, organic milk may be your healthiest option. 🐄

Physical fitness doesn’t come in a pill, yet the other part of losing weight is keeping staying in shape. Yet you don’t need to join a gym, you have countless options to keep yourself active every day.
There’s also no need to count “fitness calories burned” - your goal is to maintain and develop muscle mass to help boost your metabolism and improve overall health.
Metabolism isn’t magic, it’s literally your body’s method for burning fat.
Even if you can’t do one pushup (here’s a power tip!) you don’t need to spend an hour at the gym - take a few minutes to dance in the kitchen or weed your garden - any activity counts as “exercise,” you are seeking enjoyable ways to move and stay active.

How does Ozempic work?
Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Oct 6, 2025Semaglutide and Weight Loss
Ozempic acts like a hormone that comes from your digestive tract called glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), [which] helps lower blood sugar and creates a feeling of fullness… This can change how your body responds to food and [thus] isn’t signaling the need to eat in order to maintain your usual weight…
In recent years, the FDA has approved several new weight loss injections that are approved for long-term use. Whereas Ozempic is available for diabetics, similar drugs have been produced that operate under similar principles.
- Wegovy is approved for weight loss, using a different dosing strategy of semaglutide, since 2021.
- Mounjaro and Zepbound utilize tirzepatide, operating under similar principle, since 2023.
- Saxenda has been available since 2014.
Medical Weight Loss Doctor Aron
Dr. Aron can review these and many other available weight loss medications to assist you in your weight loss journey.
Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system to suppress appetite. Qsymia is a combination of Phentermine to suppress appetite, with Topiramate acting to decrease appetite and increase feelings of fullness. Diethylpropion and Phendimetrazine are sympathomimetic amines, stimulating the central nervous system to suppress appetite.

…Ozempic contains a hormone called GLP-1 which aids in weight loss and reducing appetite by acting on specific areas of the brain responsible for hunger and satiety. GLP-1 also slows the gastric emptying which further adds to the feeling of fullness and many report a reduced desire to eat.

Health Benefits of Weight Loss for Women
Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYCHealth Benefits of Weight Loss for Women
Weight Loss Linked to Reduced Incontinence
The New England Journal of Medicine published a study showing the connection between losing weight and incontinence relief.
“[N]ot only can women treat their incontinence, but there are a myriad of other healthy benefits like improved blood pressure control, lipids, sleep, libido … Weight loss should be a first-line recommendation for urinary incontinence …”

The clinical trial, which was cited in a New York Times article by Roni Caryn Rabin, of 338 overweight and obese women with incontinence problems who took in a six-month weight loss program discovered that they experienced half the amount of leakage incidents compared to before the program.
The women, who lost an average of 17 pounds, experienced a 47 percent reduction in the number of weekly incontinence episodes, compared to women in the control group, whose weekly episodes dropped by 28 percent, the study found. The women in the comparison group didn't participate in a weight loss program but attended four educational sessions that included information about weight loss, physical activity and healthy eating.
“The really lovely thing about this is not only can women treat their incontinence, but there are a myriad of other healthy benefits like improved blood pressure control, lipids, sleep, libido,” said Dr. Leslee L. Subak, first author of the paper and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco.
“Weight loss should be a first-line recommendation for urinary incontinence,” she added.
The study supported the hypothesis that excess weight puts extra pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor, and that a loss in weight will put less pressure on the bladder, Dr. Subak told the New York Times.

If your clothes still fit, you may be gaining weight!
Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYCClothing Sizes Vary
We often judge our weight by the size clothes we wear. Unfortunately, the clothing industry has responded to the worsening obesity epidemic by gradually increasing the size of clothing. They do this to make us all feel better about the clothes we buy. This practice is called vanity sizing
, or catalog sizing
.
In one study, size 8 clothing increased by 2-1/2” (6.5 cm) between 1984 and 2004.

In one study, size 8 clothing increased by 2-1/2” (6.5 cm) between 1984 and 2004. The drift in clothing sizes is also occurring in the UK.
We advocate using your clothing size as a means to feedback weight gain. This works as long as you are using your current clothes.

Top 3 Preventable Causes of Death Include Being Overweight
Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Sep 30, 2025Prevention is the best cure
A study published in PLoS Medicine led by the Harvard School of Public Health, in conjunction with the University of Toronto and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, is the most comprehensive to date taking into consideration how diet, lifestyle and metabolic chronic disease contribute to mortality in the U.S.

The results found that many of these factors include dietary and lifestyle risk factors that are preventable. The number of deaths that occur in the U.S. annually are attributed to the following risk factors listed below -- all of which were considered premature or preventable:
Preventable Cause | Deaths |
---|---|
Smoking: | 467,000 |
High blood pressure: | 395,000 |
Overweight-obesity: | 216,000 |
Inadequate physical activity and inactivity: | 191,000 |
High blood sugar: | 190,000 |
High LDL cholesterol: | 113,000 |
High dietary salt: | 102,000 |
Low dietary omega-3 fatty acids: | 84,000 |
High dietary trans fatty acids: | 82,000 |
Alcohol use: | 64,000 |
Low intake of fruits and vegetables: | 58,000 |
Low dietary poly-unsaturated fatty acids: | 15,000 |
Stay Healthy
The study was the first of its kind to look at a wide range of contributing risk factors, including diet, lifestyle, smoking, alcohol and metabolic factors of the U.S. population, and to figure how many deaths were a result of each risk factor.

You regained 5 pounds?
Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYCSo you regained some weight
A common response many people have is not to worry too much, make a few simple changes, and the weight will come off. Another theory is It’s only 5 pounds, and I can get it off on my own. I am embarrassed to go back to the weight loss center where I lost the weight, because they will think I’m a failure...
What is a few pounds?
So what is 5 pounds after all? 5 pounds is 17,000 calories. You would have to drink water and take vitamins and eat nothing else for 11 days to lose 5 pounds of fat! That is obviously not the right approach.

Weight Loss Support
You lost the weight through the help of a weight loss support system. You can rely on the help of the same system to get the weight back off. Dr. Oksana Aron is always here for you to help you get back on track. She understands that overweight and obesity are chronic conditions that need ongoing care and attention.

How to Lose Weight Fast
There is no quick fix for weight loss. However, here are some tips to help lose weight faster:
- Eat a healthy diet. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
- Exercise regularly. Start with what you can, with goal of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Consult with your primary doctor before starting any new fitness plans, especially if you have any health conditions.
- Sleep. Get enough sleep each night. When sleep-deprived, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to weight gain.
- Manage stress. Stress can lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.
- Realistic goals. Slow and steady wins: Aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week.
- Patience. It takes time to lose weight and developing and maintaining these good habits is the true goal. Keep at it, and you will see lasting results.
