Greetings!
I hope your year 2009 is off to a wonderful and healthy
start! I am very excited to share with you one of the
most recent breakthroughs in Age Management
Medicine and Weight (Body Fat) Loss Medicine.
A recent landmark controlled clinical study was
recently published in the medical journal
Nutrition and demonstrated a breakthrough in the area
of weight loss and weight management medicine. In
this study, humans taking this new natural compound,
IGOB131, lost 28 pounds over a 10 week period
compared to less than 3 pounds in the placebo (no
medicine) group. These study participants did NOT
change their diet in any way. In addition to body fat
loss, these study participants also had a significant
decrease in other blood markers such as cholesterol
(decrease in LDL), blood sugar, and C Reactive
Protein ( measure of inflammation).
Your first impression may be that this sounds too good
to be true. I have reviewed the medical literature in
detail and the results of the
published landmark clinical trial in order to bring this
information to my patients and help them achieve their
weight loss and healthy aging goals. This is an
exciting time in Age Management Medicine and in
Weight Management Medicine.
This novel approach to weight loss and healthy aging is
now available to my patients. This approach
requires close supervison and monitoring and may
eliminate the need for certain medications and
supplements that the patient may be taking to lower
cholesterol or blood sugar.

How IGOB131 Works:
|
|
|
This novel natural compound, IGOB131, works via 4
different ways to achieve healthy weight including:
1.REVERSING LEPTIN RESISTANCE ( a hormone that is
very important in weight management),
2.INCREASING ADIPONECTIN ( a hormone that is
crucial to body fat loss)
3. BLOCKING the fat converting enzyme
GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE
(G3PD)
4.REDUCING CARBOHYDRATE (SUGAR)
ABSORPTION from the foods that you eat.

IGOB131 AND WEIGHT LOSS

Weight Loss using this novel agent, IGOB131,should
be undertaken while under the supervision of a
physician. This historic study demonstrated more
weight loss in a shorter period of time than any other
compound ever tested. Participants took one capsule
prior to lunch and one capsule prior to dinner for ten
weeks. Participants in the study had
significant improvements in body composition and
reductions in blood measurements of cardiovascular
and diabetes risk. Again, NO changes were made to
their existing diets and no recommendations on
exercise were made.
Precautions- this approach to weight loss is not intended
for everyone. I will be discussing this breakthrough with
each of my patients on an individual basis. Medical
supervision is required because this approach may lower
cholesterol and blood sugar significantly.
Optimal cholesterol levels range from 180-200 mg/dL.
The goal is to have an LDL (bad cholesterol) of 100
mg/dL and an HDL (good cholesterol) above 60. In
this clinical trial, LDL was decreased by 27%. While
cholesterol over 200 mg/dL increases heart attack risk,
a cholesterol below 150-160 mg/dL seems to increase
risk of death. All hormones are made from cholesterol.
Type 2 Diabetics taking medications to lower blood
sugar will also need very close supervision if using
IGOB131 for weight loss. In this clinical trial, blood
sugar was decreased by 22%. This was believed to be
due to the fact that IGOB131 reduces the absorption of
sugar. If a Type 2 Diabetic experiences significant
weight loss from this approach, their need for
medication may be reduced or eliminated.

Achieving Successful Weight Loss in 2009
|
|
|
As most of you know, simply eating less and
exercising more is not enough to help most people
remove excess body fat and keep it off. A
comprehensive program is necessary to aggressively
target the many factors that contribute to excess body
fat. This is especially true as we get older.
There are
many other factors involved, including hormones like
insulin, leptin, ghrelin and adiponectin that affect body
fat loss.
Excess body fat is not only unsightly, it can be deadly,
increasing the risk for heart disease, diabetes, and
cancer. Abdominal fat is particularly
dangerous.
A comprehensive fat-loss program includes improving
insulin sensitivity, achieving youthful hormone
balance, controlling the rate of carbohydrate
absorption, increasing physical activity, normalizing
brain serotonin, restoring energy expenditure rate,
detoxifying the body and adopting a long-term healthy
eating strategy.
The rewards of removing excess body fat go far
beyond a slim physique to the promise of a lengthy,
disease-free life.
