Human chorionic gonadrotropin, oe HCG, is a metabolic hormone promoting weight loss by burning fat without affecting lean muscle. Patients can lose a significant amount of weight.
Although not FDA approve, it has good clinical success.

Dr. Randy Birken, certified in age management medicine with the Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation, offers bio-identical hormones for both men and women.
“Our hormone levels decrease as we age leading to symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep, decreased muscle tone, lower libido, and poor memory,” Dr. Birken said. “By optimizing hormones naturally, patients feels better, lose weight, and have a reduction in age related diseases.”

HCG has been used to promote weight loss along with a low glycemic diet and an effective exercise program.
In 1954, a medical study showed that high levels of HCG during pregnancy regulated metabolic function and controlled metabolism. HCG appears to affect the hypothalamus gland to optimize metabolic hormones, mobilizing fat storage.
The goal of HCG treatments is to reduce hunger and promote a better sense of well-being, allowing patients to remain on a low calorie diet.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified gynecologist and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine embraces the concept of bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT) for health.
“These hormones are compounded from plants and are identical to human hormones,” Dr Birken said. <p>
Menopausal or peri-menopausal patients who suffer from symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, low libido, and weight gain see improvement within weeks after starting treatment.
BHRT offers patients a more natural approach to declining hormone function.

This includes hot flashes, night sweats, sleeping problems, decreased libido, and weight gain.
“Most hormone medications address estrogen and/or progestin replacement, but BHRT is different,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics. “With BHRT, what is deficient is corrected leading to significant clinical improvement.”
Since the body recognizes these molecules as identical to natural hormone production, intuitively, there are safer.
“BHRT may not be for every one, but when other methods ail, it’s a great alternative.”
