Our bodies are equipped with complex systems to drain toxins and metabolic wastes through the skin, kidneys, lungs, liver and colon. But with exposure to food additives, synthetic personal care products, and chemicals in our water and air, the human body can be overloaded with chemicals to detox.
Most of the toxic load which cannot be detoxified is stored in the liver (right at your midsection) or isolated from the body’s systems in additional adipose tissue, or fat.

If weight gain is the body’s way of segregating toxins where they can’t harm the rest of your system, then it logically follows that a weight-loss diet that does not help the body to purge these stored toxins will only succeed temporarily.

Weight loss can’t last without some form of cleanse because the toxins that were stored in fat tissue circulate in the bloodstream and other systems of the body - causing headaches, fatigue, achiness, pain, dizziness, moodiness, and other withdrawal-type symptoms - until the body locks them away in new fat tissue.

For optimal functioning, the body wants to segregate whatever toxins it can’t remove - which is why people regain weight after most diets!

If you tend to be skeptical of any method of weight loss that does not follow traditional guidelines, then there is no question that you may be doubtful about colon cleansing. The truth is it can be effective for a variety of health related reasons. It can help you lose weight, provide relief from constipation, gas as well as bloating and allow you to feel an inner and outer renewal. The truth behind colon cleansing has to do with the fact that the human body has miles of digestive surface area. However, only a fraction of that is available and functioning properly. Years of accumulated toxic debris and dead bacteria have clogged up the rest and if you don't do something about it now, you are sabotaging your metabolism and any chance of a living healthy lifestyle. 

Difficulties controlling weight may be due to the excess garbage piled up in the colon. Did you know you can actually control or lose weight by removing the toxic build-up from your colon?   Did you know the average weight loss after a single colon cleansing treatment is 2 - 4 pounds?

One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to cleanse the colon.  The colon, according to world famous Dr. Bernard Jensen, carries 4 to 12 pounds of old fecal matter alone.  It is not unusual for a person to be carrying 10 to 20 pounds, and the most on record is 65 pounds!  So you can see that merely cleansing the colon can help one to immediately loose considerable body weight.

The HCG diet has helped thousands of people just like you, lose 1 to 3 lbs per day. The term HCG is short for the naturally occurring hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). The body produces HCG during pregnancy to metabolize fat for the baby.  HCG works with the hypothalamus gland, a part of the brain that regulates appetite, digestion, metabolism and fluid levels. What makes HCG different from dieting alone is that many restrictive diets can trigger "starvation mode," putting the breaks on your metabolism and actually signaling fat storage.  Oral or injected HCG combined with a reduced calorie meal plan (<500 calories per day) helps to mobilize fat, making it available to your body as an energy source. This means fat is burned off instead of muscle, without the hunger pains one would expect with such a low calorie program. Depending on the amount of fat you need to lose, you will remain on the diet for 23 to 40 days at a time. 

The HCG weight loss protocol was designed by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons.  The original weight loss protocol can be found in his manuscript, "Pounds and Inches."   Dr. Rebecca Ward offers numerous HCG weight loss options depending on your lifestyle and needs.  Don’t like needles?  We offer Homeopathic HCG which is given orally and non-homeopathic oral HCG.  Prefer to stick with Dr. Simeons original protocol?  HCG injections are taken daily in minimal amounts.  Many of our patients choose I.V. HCG because it is administered just once a week, but has the benefit of many added nutrients to enhance your health.

If you are struggling with weight loss you have probably tried everything but never thought about having your hormone levels evaluated.  Without hormonal balance – for both men and women – your body can’t regulate internal activities properly.  An estrogen excess can block the function of your thyroid hormone.  Thyroid hormone is responsible for regulating metabolism, weight and energy levels.  With a slowed metabolism, you store more fat.

A progesterone deficiency can promote water retention and bloating and you may notice increased fat gain around your hips and thighs.  Testosterone, when in balance with your other hormones, helps build muscle and promote muscle tone.   With a simple, non-invasive saliva test we can determine your bodies hormone levels and supplement with bioidentical hormones if necessary.
