WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
A healthy way to detox
The program that took Australia by storm is now in the US!!
I am pleased to be one of the few physicians trained in this method apple meas tapeof weight loss. ULTRA LITE was developed by a Naturopathic Physician, and teaches you how to eat right for life. 

hCG is all the talk these days.  This diet is not for everyone.  i conduct a thorough screening, including lab work, before patients are selected for this program. 

The hCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet accompanied by treatments of hCG (natural hormone).  The average hCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day.  In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the hCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.


By avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar, and limiting excess carbohydrates you will maximize fat loss as your body will instead burn stored fat, providing energy through natural ketosis.

Research shows that the #1 factor in how much weight is lost and how much is kept off - is Physician monitoring.
I would love to talk to you.  If you would like, feel free to call and set up a phone consult, free of charge. 
 
To your health!
