TREATMENT OPTIONS

Lipotropic Injections

Lipotropic injections dissolve fat in parts of your body that are resistant to conventional approaches, like diet and exercise. They are combinations of lipotropic amino acids: i.e. Choline, Methionine, L-carnitine and Inositol with B complex and Vitamin B12 that have been shown to consistently have a direct effect on breaking down fat cells (lipolysis). This is a valuable asset in combination with other approaches in the effort to decrease body fat.

Benefits of Lipotropic Injections:

• Improve mood and mental clarity
• Reduce stored fat
• Increase energy
• Preserve lean body tissue (muscle)
• Enhance metabolism improving fat burning
• Have a rapid onset of action
• Improve function of liver and gallbladder

Phentermine

Phentermine is a widely used pharmaceutical agent for appetite suppression. Phentermine has been sold under a lot of brand names over the years, the most popular including Adipex-P (or simply “Adipex”), Fastin, Suprenza, and Wilpo. It briefly got a bad rap with dieters for being one of the “fens” in “phen-fen”, the weight-loss medication combination that was found to cause damage to heart valves; fortunately, Phentermine was not responsible for the adverse events, “fenfluramine” was found to be responsible and was withdrawn from the market in 1997. Phentermine, on the other hand, has been around since the late ’50s, and over those decades has been found to be safe and effective as part of a physician-guided weight loss program.

Phentermine is available by prescription. It is one of the very few pharmaceutical agents that are prescribed at Revive MD, but is used medically as an appetite suppressant for a short period of time to initiate and promote weight loss in conjunction with exercise and nutritional optimization. This is done with close monitoring of blood pressure and body fat percentage. Optimizing hormones while this is being used to “kick start” the weight loss process is frequently recommended, as it greatly enhances results for many patients.

Vitamin B12 Injection

Vitamin B12 is used to treat low levels (deficiency) of this vitamin. It is involved in metabolism at the most basic level of the Kreb’s cycle and results in energy production. It helps your body use fat and carbohydrates for energy and develop new proteins. It is also important for metabolism and maintaining healthy blood, cells, and nerves.

Nutraceuticals

We recommend pharmaceutical-grade nutraceutical supplements. There is ample evidence that buying over the counter and internet products can be a gamble in terms of quality and amounts of ingredients. These recommendations are based upon careful consideration of an individual’s plan to optimize cellular metabolism based on extensive lab testing. This approach is recommended for patients with excessive body fat. These nutraceuticals are natural ingredients with specific mechanisms of action and effects on metabolism and include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbal products with clinical evidence to support their use in weight loss.
