HCG Promotion for Weight Loss in Houston, Texas and The Woodlands, Texas

Dr. Randy Birken, board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician and founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands, Texas, now offers medications to improve weight loss:

M-I-C is a weekly injection of Choline, Methionine, Inositol, and Vitamin B12.  Choline is an amino acid used by the liver for fat emulsification while Inositol is a powerful nutrient promoting fat metabolism.  Methioinine acts as a catalyst for both Choline and Inositol while B12 aids the burning of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

AMP(Adenosine-Mono-Phospate) is also a weekly injection that maximizes cellular energy production for fatigue.  It can be given with M-I-C weekly.

Also, Dr. Birken offers an offer use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG):

HCG First published in 1954, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) as a weekly injection acts on the hypothalamus to moderate the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and metabolic rate while mobilizing fat from storage and increasing circulating calories for utilization.

The main goal of HCG treatment is to suppress hunger while improving a sense of well-being so the patient can remain on a low caloric diet.  HCG for weight loss is an off-label use for this medication

In 2006, researchers published data showing an increase in adiponectin (ADP), a fat cell hormone involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

The main limitation of HCG is the need for a daily injection, although the patient can self-administer at home.  One protocol recommends 26 daily injections for those who want to lose 15 pounds or less and 40 injections for those needing to lose more than 15 pounds.

Dr. Birken uses HCG hormone injections and HCG diet to promote fat loss and gain muscle mass.  Additionally, other hormones are evaluated for possible optimization.  By combining various weight loss medications with a low glycemic diet and effective exercise, patients have a better change to loss weight and keep the weight off.
