Weight
Management
What is Olympia's Weight Management Therapy Program?
Olympia Pharmaceuticals Weight Management program uses low dose medications that work slightly differently to help the body raise growth hormone levels that support several health benefits, including weight loss. This is a Physician supervised program designed to help the individual with his or her specific weight loss protocol.
Program Medications and Their Benefits
Naltrexone
Naltrexone in low doses, is referred to as Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN. Possible benefits of LDN include:
-
May help decrease insulin levels which can improve growth hormone levels in patients. Growth hormone helps the body burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass
-
May help normalize appetite and reduce hunger
-
Some studies have shown to reduce general inflammation throughout the body. Reducing inflammation may make weight loss easier in certain patients.
-
Naltrexone may help to "normalize" this mismatch between calories burned and appetite, especially in patients with hormonal imbalances.
Sermorelin
Benefits of Sermorelin Acetate (GHRH) Therapy:
-
Sermorelin may stimulate the pituitary to produce more of your own body's growth hormone. Growth hormone production drops naturally as we age.
-
Increased growth hormone can increase development of lean body mass through the development of new muscle cells.
-
Higher growth hormone levels may reduce body fat through lipolysis.
Lipo-Trim SL (Sublingual Oral Spray)
A concentrated sublingual oral spray which includes a combination of amino acids and B vitamins.
-
Can help the body convert fat to energy
-
May help reduce cravings
-
Can help support immune system
Supplemental Medications
When following a low-calorie diet, there are also other variables to consider. For example, immune system and energy may both be in short supply when restricting calories. Both immune response and energy enhancers may be options to fulfill deficiencies in these areas. Below are options to consider. Please discuss which option may be most suitable for you with your medical provider.
MICC
MICC is an acronym for the compounds: L-Methionine, Inositol, Choline and Cyanocobalamin. These are lipotropic agents which help with the breakdown of fat during metabolism in the body. Often referred to as "fat burning" injections, these components, especially inositol and choline, have been found to improve mental function and feelings of depression.
Lipo Mino Mix
Lipo-Mino Mix starts with a special lipotropics fat burning combination of methionine, inositol, choline, carnitine, B1, B2, B6 and B12. Each of these ingredients can help the body turn fat into energy.
Accountability
Accountability is as much as an important part of a diet, as the diet itself! Each office should have someone who can meet with patients each week for administering the IM injections and weigh ins. Keeping the patients accountable and motivated in their weight loss journey is paramount to the success of the program.
