Medical Weight Loss Services

We offer comprehensive medical weight loss and wellness programs that are customized to your needs and goals. There is no silver bullet to effective weight loss and any program that offers a single "diet" or "one-stop" solution is not sustainable.  Our goal is to create adaptive programs that change as your body and its metabolism change.  Patients will enroll in a 6 month program that is designed to help you safely and effectively lose the weight, and most importantly keep it off.  During each visit, the medical staff will review several measurements and metabolic parameters and make adaptive changes and recommendations to ensure optimal outcomes.  And as with all of our programs, you will also receive one-on-one comprehensive lifestyle education as well as exercise and counseling to help you lose the weight, and most importantly keep it off.

Our weight loss program options include:

• Physician Supervised Diet Counseling
  This program focuses on providing you the educational and nutritional tools to in essence re-regulate your metabolism and achieve your wellness objectives.  Our program is unique in that it is a customized calorie non-restrictive diet.  Research has shown that minimizing calories is actually bad for your metabolism.   While one may in fact lose weight by simply eating fewer calories and fat, because the body stores fat during times of deprivation, you will also most likely lose your lean muscle before you lose any significant fat. Just as important, however, is that calorie restriction actually causes your metabolism to slow down because your body goes into conservation mode.
  
  

• Prescription Medication Weight Loss
  On this program you will be prescribed an FDA approved appetite suppressant medication, or a natural appetite suppressant, to help curb your appetite and help you feel satisfied more quickly. Our Medical Staff will work with you one-on-one to determine appropriate dosage, as well as help you learn how to eat nutritiously balanced meals to help you burn fat.
  
  
  
• Medically Supervised Injections for Weight Loss
  
  hCG injections - hCG is a hormone that is approved by the FDA for treatments other than that for weight management, and is therefore used Off-Label.   hCG is believed to interact with the hypothalamus gland, which, among other things, helps to control weight equilibrium. The hormone is also believed to help break down deeply stored fatty tissues and evacuates them via the kidneys so that the body can utilize the calories released from the fatty stores.

  
  LipoTropic Injections - This blend of amino acids and nutrients are a class of agents that play important roles in the body's use of fat. These compounds enhance liver and gallbladder's role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up metabolism of fat and its removal.
  
  Methylcobalamin B12 Injections - Methylcobalamin is considered the most potent form of Vitamin B12 found in nature and the only active form of Vitamin B-12 in the brain outside the mitochondria. We need methylcobalamin for the healthy development and sustenance of our circulatory, immune and nervous systems.
