high blood pressure elevated blood fats impaired fasting glucose diabetes, fatty liver sleep apnea, and coronary heart disease achy joints (osteoarthritis) GERD (heartburn) Others want to ‘reset their metabolism”, increase their energy or just get to their ideal weight. I want to help you and offer the option of the HCG diet. HCG (human chorionic hormone) is present in pregnant women but is also used in a very dilute concentration to help induce weight loss and suppress appetite. When you combine this with a low calorie diet those stubborn fat stores are released! To clarify more; one pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Let’s say you are 50 pounds overweight. In order to lose this unwanted fat you will need to: ●

Decrease your food intake (by 500 calories/day would take you 12.5 months) or Exercise more. (jogging 1 mile burns 100 calories, about the distance from San Francisco to Dallas (1,750 miles). Perhaps this is too overwhelming for you and you are looking for other alternatives? People on the HCG diet may lose up to 1 pound / day! I have had many successful patients on this diet and you could be the next. Of course this is just the beginning of a long term process to improve health and become a fitter person. I will also help you set and achieve long term goals! HOW TO GET STARTED

You will need to make an appointment with me to evaluate your appropriateness for this diet (this is a regular medical visit­billed through your insurance­ to identify the medical issues). ● If you are an appropriate candidate you will need to pay cash for the program as insurance does not cover it. ● Your orientation appointment will then be scheduled with me and I will lay out the program in great detail to enhance your success and provide the HCG drops or prescription for them. ● You will be invited and encouraged to come to the office twice a week for body composition testing (the measurement of body fat and body muscle) to further validate the correct weight loss and; ● Come in for weekly taped body measurements (some people lose inches quicker than pounds). The 26d/ program (for those who need to lose less than 25 pounds) = call office for price The 43d/program (for those who need to lose more than 25 pounds) = call office for price
