MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS

All phases of the program can be implemented independently for individualized patient needs, but best results are achieved through participation in all 3 phases of the 10-week program.

Yes, some of people choose to only do the first 2 phases of the weight loss program that are the most aggressive and get the body to overcome weight loss plateaus or to achieve the greatest amount of weight loss in the shortest amount of time. A 5-week Cleanse and HCG package program is offered at a discounted rate.

• 5 to 8 lb during the 7-day cleanse phase

• 15 to 25 lb through completion of HCG phase

• 30 to 35 lb at the completion of the 10-week program

• Average of 4 to 6 inches lost in hips, 4 to 6 inches lost in the waist, and 2 to 4 inches lost in thighs after completion of the 10-week program.

Progress is strictly monitored throughout the program with weekly weigh-ins and nutritional consultations. Pre and Post circumference measurements are taken to monitor inches lost from weight loss in specific regions of the body. A Bio-Impedance Assessment is taken at the start and finish that tells the percentage of body fat, lean muscle, extracellular tissue, and total body water. This enables patients to see that they achieved successful weight loss by losing primarily body fat and maintaining lean muscle.

Whole & natural-based foods that can be found at any local supermarket or farmers market are recommended throughout the program and for long-term weight management. Processed foods, artificial dyes and sweeteners, high allergen-based foods (ex: gluten and dairy), and high glycemic simple carbohydrates are eliminated due to their negative impact on the health of the body.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a polypeptide hormone that in clinical use has shown a 3-fold effect on stimulating weight loss. First, we see an increase in fat mobilization and fat loss in the hormonally influenced areas in the abdomen, hips, and thigh regions of the body. This is monitored through pre and post RJL Bio-Impedance testing and circumference measurements. Secondly, patients see a resetting effect in appetite where they are able to reach satiety at meals and see a decrease in hunger tendencies. Lastly, we see a lean muscle preserving effect while seeing dramatic decreases in body fat. This is also monitored by pre and post RJL Bio-Impedance tests. These results are analytical data collected from thousands of patients seen at Age Management of West Michigan and have not been FDA approved or proven in double-blind placebo studies.

Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) injections are used to help release fat throughout the body by specifically targeting its primary fatty deposits. Lipotropic, or fat burning substances include; Inositol, which helps the liver remove fat: Choline, which distributes cholesterol and prevents it from getting deposited in one part of the body; Methionine, which is similar to Inositol, but also amplifies the combination. Injections are administered once weekly throughout all weight loss programs.
