Managing weight is an important part of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle. On average, patients may try five or more diet programs in an effort to manage their weight with varying results. Obesity is a growing problem throughout the country and can contribute to a variety of health problems. When nutrition and exercise are not yielding in the desired weight loss results, patients may find there are numerous factors that can affect weight loss or gain, including hormonal issues. Dr. Bawa & Associates recognizes the importance of supporting patients improving overall health and uses superior science and technology to offer a wide range of weight management solutions including:

  1. Appetite Suppressant – to stimulate metabolism and send signals of satiation.
  2. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)*† – a hormone used as a weight management alternative. Available in several forms including: lyophilized injectable & troches
  3. Sermorelin/Ipamorelin – a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogue that stimulates the production and release of hormones by the pituitary gland. May improve the body’s ability to burn fat and increase energy levels. Available in lyophilized injectable form as well as troches.
  4. Lipotropics/Vitamin Therapies – vitamins and amino acids used as fat burners for weight management or to provide an energy boost:
    1. B12 injectable (Cyanocobalamin or Methylcobalamin form)
    2. Methionine, Inositol and Choline (MIC) injectables or MIC Combos, which can also include:
      • Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin or Methylcobalamin)
      • L-Carnitine
      • Chromium
      • B-Complex

That more than 35 percent of American adults are overweight? According to an estimate from the Centers for Disease Control, obesity is directly responsible for more than $140 billion in medical costs each year – primarily for the treatment of weight-related diseases like heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and stroke. Losing just 10 to 20 pounds can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, alleviate chronic pain, and reduce cancer risk – not to mention improve the quality of life
