Mind Body Spirit Center offers the HCG Protocol (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) hormone as part of a weight loss program. HCG acts on an area in the brain that controls the movement of fat in the body. This allows the body to take in 500 calories a day by consuming the bad fat from the abnormal fat stores, such as around the abdomen, hips and thighs. As a result the body is able to maintain muscle mass while losing weight, thus changing the body composition. The program consists of an initial consultation to determine HCG is right for you, followed with the diet plan, a prescription for the HCG, a Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) and two follow up visits are recommended.
The HCG diet is safe for:
-
Almost anyone who has gone through puberty
-
People with heart disease
-
Women on birth control
-
Women on hormone replacement therapy
-
Men
-
Cancer Patients
Every individual is unique, and it is important to only use and HCG program under direct medical supervision. This will ensure the effectiveness of the program based on one's individual needs.
