HCG Weight Loss – Physician Supervised Program in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

Even with proper diet and effective exercise, many patients find it difficult to lose weight or to keep it off, leading to frustration and disappointment.

“We reeducate the concept of weight loss,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “To lose weight correctly, a person needs to lose fat and not muscle mass.  That’s the only way to lose effectively and for the long term.”

Dr. Birken’s weight loss program includes monthly visits utilizing a bioelectrical impedance scale that accurately assesses weight, body fat percentage, total muscle mass, fat mass, and total body water.  Patients learn that it’s the ratio of muscle to fat that makes the difference, not just the actual weight.

“Once we teach this concept, patients understand the important of eating a low glycemic diet, interval exercise training, and the appropriate use of HCG injections and HCG diet to lose fat and not muscle,” Dr. Birken further commented.

HCG injections, creams, or nasal spray changes the metabolic thermostat so patients lose fat and not muscle.  They feel better, look healthier, have more energy, and like their new body contour and image.  Losing muscle and fat unfortunately creates fatigue, decreased endurance, and an an unhealthy gauntness.

Judicious use of appetite suppressants, weight management supplements, and weekly injections of lipotropic B12 injections enhance metabolism and effective fat reduction as well as daily use of HCG.  Occasionally, patients have certain reproductive and metabolic hormone deficiencies – optimizing with bioidentical and HCG hormones can result not only in weight loss, but mood enhancement, improved skin collagen, better sleep, increased libido and sexual performance, stronger endurance and stamina, heightened motivation, and may lower overall risk for chronic age related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, dementia, and cancer.

Bioidentical Hormones may enhance normal physiology and metabolism by  improving sleep, reducing moodiness, anxiety, and depression, as well as increasing vitality, strength and libido. Restoration of thyroid and adrenal hormone can aid with weight loss, increase muscle tone and mass, and better skin texture.  Hormones are taken as creams, orally, injections, or subcutaneous pellets.

Chelation treatment removes and detoxifies accumulations of harmful levels of aluminum, iron, copper, and toxic heavy metals which increase free radical damage leading to a higher risk for age related diseases.

A weight management program utilizes metabolic hormones, such as HCG injections and HCG hormones, as well as metabolic enhancers to provide the necessary mechanism toward for healthy and natural weight loss.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, offers the following medical services:

Bioidentical Hormones
Hormones are essential for normal physiology and metabolism but tend to decline through aging, menopause, disease, or trauma leading to physical and mental deterioration. BHRT hormones are prepared from plants and processed by specialized compounding pharmacists. Since BHRT are natural, they are accepted and metabolized as if our bodies made them, producing effects that are physiologic rather than therapeutic.

With the use of specific blood testing for adrenal, thyroid, as well as reproductive hormones, suboptimal levels can be re-stored to normal values leading to more energy and endurance as well as improvement in an overall sense of well-being.

BHRT options include oral, creams, injections, as well as sustained released pellets.

Patients have improved sleep, less moodiness, anxiety, and depression, as well as increased vitality, strength and libido. Restoration of thyroid and adrenal hormone aid in weight loss, increase muscle tone and mass, and improved skin texture.

IV Nutrition and Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy reduces heavy metals from the body as a detoxification process and supplements of vitamins and anti-oxidants are given to restore recommended levels.  Treatment is aimed at removing and detoxifying accumulations of harmful levels of aluminum, iron, copper, and toxic heavy metals which enhance free radical damage. Chelation might be useful to prevent or treat rapid oxidation of LDL or bad cholesterol, poor circulation, and heart disease brought on by iron overload. In addition, this combination of IV chelation/nutritional therapy has helped those with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma, and may offer help with chronic fatigue and improve overall sense of well-being.IV vitamins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids have been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, mood disorders, and cardiovascular disease while reducing free radicals that increase age related disorders.

Weight Management

Dr. Birken offers a weight management program that includes blood testing, diet and exercise counseling, as well as supplementation and prescriptions including HCG hormone injections and HCG diet to help achieve a normal body mass index.
