With summer almost here most of us want to look and feel our best. I wish it was as easy to shed the weight as it is to shed the winter sweats. Lets face it, it is hard to lose weight. No surprises there.
Our HCG program can help greatly with weight loss. But even more than that, it motivates people to follow a healthy lifestyle and make better choices. It is a tool for re-education of portion sizes, mindful eating, and healthy options. Once the weight is shed, it reduces the risk of having many chronic diseases. These include high blood pressure, degenerative joint disease, sleep apnea, coronary artery disease, stroke and many cancers. The HCG program includes a body composition analysis. This is a 5 page study about the body composition. It includes weight, height, BMI, body fat percentrage, fat free mass, hydration, caloric needs of each individual, the change in caloric needs as an activity levels change, and the risk of certain cancers. It also reviews some of the diseases of chronicity.
As a physician promoting health and wellness, it is most rewarding when my patients are able to improve their health and quality of life. When they are able to reduce their need for prescription medication to treat some chronic diseases like hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
The HCG program has allowed my patients to achieve this success. Congratulations to all those who have participated in this program, and here's to more achievements in the Restorative and Wellness field. Cheers.
