These weight loss programs, combined with following a healthy diet & exercise program, can help you not only get back to your ideal weight, they can help you maintain it.

Our Medically supervised Weight Loss Programs are:

• HCG Diet – HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone that women's bodies produce naturally during pregnancy to ensure that the baby receives the proper nutrients. By working directly with the Hypothalamus gland (the area of your body that controls and affects metabolism), orally administered doses of HCG encourage the body to break down and use fat stores. When taken in conjunction with a low calorie diet and B12 supplements, you can burn up to 3,500-4,000 calories of stored fat and lose 1-2 pounds per day.
• Detox – Body cleansing or detoxification is a way of helping your body eliminate the toxic waste that is stored in the tissues. When the body is unable to sufficiently purge and cleanse itself of these harmful toxins, detoxification can be used to restore these functions, help your digestive system work properly again, and jump start weight loss.
• Supplements – Vitamin Supplements rich in anti-oxidants can help promote weight loss, youthful-looking skin, and increase your feeling of well-being. Vitamins taken in conjunction with a healthier diet can also help facilitate weight loss. Dr. Mark will discuss which vitamins she recommends you should be taking based on her overall assessment of your health and weight loss goals.
• Prescription Weight Loss Pills – Obesity is now a leading cause of health ailments among Americans. If you suffer from a chronic health condition, Dr. Mark may determine that prescription appetite suppressants such as Phentermine and Sibutramine (Meridia) or prescription fat absorption inhibitors such as Orlistat (Xenical) should be used to help you reach a healthy weight. Some patients may experience mild side effects as a result of taking this medication, however these will typically improve as your body adjusts to them.
