Medical Weight Loss

At Advanced Weight Management Center we are dedicated to helping you lose weight and maintaining a healthy weight for life. For the majority of our patients, being overweight is a symptom of a chronic medical illness, which is often inherited and will never go away. Similar to diabetes; you can lose weight just as a diabetic can get their blood sugar under control, but then you must manage the illness day by day to help avoid regaining all the weight you have lost.

AWMC can help you lose weight and manage the illness to maintain the weight loss. Our protocols are considered the best medical treatment ever devised for reducing weight under medical supervision and our structured maintenance program and behavior classes are key to keeping the weight off for good.

Don’t let your weight control you. Let our professional staff help you regain a healthy lifestyle.

Prebiotics & Probiotics

Prebiotics and probiotics can restore the balance of bacteria in your digestive tract. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can be found in various foods. When you eat probiotics, you will add these healthy bacteria to your intestinal tract. Common strains include Lactobacillis and Bifidobacterium families of bacteria. Prebiotics are non-digestible foods that make their way through our digestive system and help good bacteria grow and flourish. Prebiotics keep beneficial bacteria healthy.
Prebiotics in the Diet: Prebiotics that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut mostly come from carbohydrate fibers called oligosaccharides. You don't digest them, so the oligosaccharides remain in the digestive tract and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. Sources of oligosaccharides include fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Fructo-oligosaccharides may be taken as a supplement or added to foods. Yogurt made with bifidobacteria contain oligosaccharides.
Probiotics in the Diet: Probiotic bacteria like lactobacilli are naturally found in fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt. Some foods will have added probiotics as healthy nutritional ingredients, which will be evident on the label.

Hormone Consulting & Evaluation

Hormone replacement therapy is quite popular among women who suffer from hormone level fluctuations. There are many women who complain on a regular basis about their problematic estrogen levels, although their menopause process commenced many years back. They are still suffering from vaginal dryness, sweating, and diminished female libido. The period of manifestation of these symptoms can differ in different people. Therefore, the proper duration for hormone replacement therapy in the treatment of menopause-related problems would also differ. This is dependent on the needs of the person who suffers from menopausal problems.

In order to control the problem of osteoporosis, the disease that reduces a person's bone mineral density, hormone replacement therapy can be administered for a period of as long as fifteen to twenty years. This therapy involves providing the body with the necessary amount of estrogen, the female hormone. If there are inadequate levels of estrogen in the body, then you may suffer from osteoporosis. Estrogen intake, therefore, can protect you against diseases related to bones. On the other hand, there are many physicians who believe that women who take estrogen need to take it on a lifetime basis until they feel good about their physical condition, and this process needs to be backed by regular check-ups. Still, it is never too late for many women who are in their 60s or 70s to go through hormone replacement therapy.

Make an appointment for your Hormone Consultation and see if therapy is right for you.

Lipotropic Injections

Lipotropics are 3 amino acids that are important for a healthy liver. Your liver organ is responsible for getting fat and toxins OUT of your body, so the more healthy your liver is, the better it will work at flushing out the fat. And the B12 gives you a great boost of energy and that extra energy helps you get moving, increase your metabolism and burn more calories.

Glucose Check-Ups

Why Get Tested? To determine if your blood glucose level is within healthy ranges; to screen for, diagnose, and monitor hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes, and pre-diabetes.
When to Get Tested? Blood glucose: as part of a regular physical, when you have symptoms suggesting hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, and during pregnancy; if you are diabetic, up to several times a day to monitor blood glucose levels Urine glucose: usually as part of a urinalysis.
Sample Required? A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or, for a self check, a drop of blood from a skin prick; sometimes a random urine sample is used. Some diabetic patients may use a continuous glucose monitor, which is a small sensor wire inserted beneath the skin of the abdomen that measures blood glucose every five minutes.
Test Preparation Needed? In general, it is recommended that you fast - nothing to eat or drink except water - 8 hours before having a blood glucose test. In persons with diabetes, however, glucose levels are often checked both while fasting and after meals to provide the best control of diabetes.

HCG Shots & Injections

HCG, a naturally produced hormone, is finally receiving the credit it has long deserved, thanks to internationally recognized Dr. A.T.W Simeon and his work in 1972 “Pounds and Inches.” Combines the use of small amount of HCG with a low-calorie diet can cause your body to metabolize and use the abnormal fat through a specific process, reset the hypothalamus so that once the diet is completed, you eat normally (of course within healthy limits) yet keep the weight off for life. By properly following the HCG protocol, you could lose an average of 1 to 3 lbs per day. And you will feel more healthy and energetic with the HCG Weight Loss plan than you have in years. This has been proven by thousands of patients undergoing with Dr. Simeon’s original HCG Protocol.

So how does HCG Weight loss work exactly? According to Dr. Simeon, a very small amounts of hCG could disconnects the mobile fat of people’s body, burn and discharge the unwanted fat through the kidneys. HCG hormone is able to open fat cell membranes so that fatty acids are able to leave fat cells. Dr. Simeon designed the renowned HCG protocol, which only allows clients to take a very strictly applied 500 Calorie diet daily, leading to reduced glycogen and low glucose in the blood. This causes HCG to act. In other words, the low calorie diet causes you to release your unwanted fat (abnormal fat), leaving your normal fat (good fat) and lean body mass, while helping your hypothalamus to reset your system to a normal weight, allowing you to keep your weight while eating healthy foods after you complete the HCG weight loss protocol.

HCG has been used safely by thousands and thousands of men and women in weight loss treatments since 1950s. Being manufactures in a sterile environment, there are no risks of disease being spread through use of HCG. HCG can be used safely by both men and women that are looking to get their weight under control. When HCG shots are used for fertility reasons, clients report occasional headaches, and pregnancy symptoms. However, the amount differences between HCG used for Weight Loss (125 IU to 200IU) and HCG for fertility purpose (10,000 IU) is significantly different. There are rarely side effects reported while using HCG diet injections, or oral hCG for weight loss purpose in the past decades.

Supervised Weight Loss

Professionally -supervised weight-loss programs provide treatment in a clinical setting with a licensed healthcare professional, such as a medical doctor, nurse, registered dietitian and/or a psychologist. These programs typically offer services such as nutrition education, physical activity and behavioral therapy.

The cost to participate in a physician-supervised weight-loss program is comparable to the cost of weight-loss programs that do not have a physician on site, for example LA Weight-loss, Weight Watchers and others. Health insurance companies may cover some or all of your treatment if you have heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition.

The Initial Consult: The initial consult involves a focused medical evaluation for diseases related to obesity. In addition, the medical professional will obtain a weight history, which includes past diet attempts, and may conduct a thorough psychological history.

Many patients come to the clinic with undiagnosed diabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders or abnormal liver tests. Several blood tests are often drawn.

Overall, the Physician management of obesity includes:           

• Behavior modification     
• Diet      
• Exercise              
• Pharmacotherapy

Diet and Behavior Modifications: After the initial assessment, many of the follow-up appointments are with registered dietitians or mid-level providers who are certified in obesity management as well as exercise.

Getting a handle on eating behaviors is key to making significant long-term changes. While it may be difficult to keep food logs that require writing down all food eaten, this exercise has been shown to be important for long-term success.

With all the variation in serving sizes, most individuals do not have a good understanding of how many calories are actually consumed in one day. Therefore, it is recommended that, for at least the first six to eight weeks, individuals keep a complete food log. This will also help dietitians get a better handle on areas of the diet to focus on at follow-up visits.

Dietitians also work with patients using individualized meal plans for various lifestyles and medical conditions. Many medical conditions, such as insulin resistance, can make it difficult to lose weight on traditional low-fat diets. The dietitian can work individually with the patient to find a meal plan that works for him or her. Also, dietitians teach patients how to actually make the changes such as: how to shop; cooking ideas such as easy preparation methods or healthy recipes; and how to eat out at restaurants.
