At Longevity Medical Health Center and Naturopathic Family Care we believe that achieving and maintaining one's optimal weight is essential to lasting health. To help our patients reach that goal we are proud to offer the several natural weight loss programs. Our physicians will listen to your weight loss goals and help you choose the program that best fits your needs.
Our physicians also use special monitoring and analysis techniques to determine your individual weight loss needs, as well as to assist in tracking your progress.
The Ultralight program is a doctor-supervised weight loss program which relies on your body's own ability to burn extra fat tissue, while improving muscular tone. This program works without the use of appetite suppressants, fasting, or the need to buy special pre-packaged meals. Participants can continue eating the healthy foods they love, and lose weight as they do. As a nutritionally based weight loss plan, the Ultralight program promotes increased energy levels, firm muscles, and improved skin tone. While on the program, participants have a quick weekly visit with their doctor to discuss their progress, record their weight loss and measurements, and to ask any questions they may have.
The First Line Therapeutic Lifestyle Program is an individualized diet and lifestyle plan that uses a variation of the Modified Mediterranean Diet. While first Line Therapy is a good choice for anyone looking to eat healthier and loose weight, it is an especially good choice when abnormal blood sugar issues, or high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease are a concern. In addition to monitoring body parameters such as lean body mass and fat mass, patients using this program also routinely monitor blood sugar and cholesterol levels. The First Line Therapy program is a complete lifestyle modification program that can be used to maintain a healthy diet and weight for an extended period of time.
The HCG Diet, aka the Pregnancy Hormone Diet. It was discovered in the 1950's that small doses of HCG given to overweight individuals, both men and women, decreased their appetite, and made them lose inches specifically around their hips, thighs, buttocks and stomachs. This diet involves patients self-injecting a small amount of HCG subcutaneously into themselves, and eating a calorie restricted diet. While the HCG diet can be very effective for accelerated weight loss, it is not meant to be used long-term. At our clinic we believe that HCG should only be used in a physician-supervised manner.
