Holistic Wellness Center

The HCG Diet is a wonderful way to lose excess weight that may be causing your body to suffer from additional health issues.  At Holistic Wellness Center we closely follow Simeons Protocol for Optimal results. 

Q~What can I expect during my 1st visit?

During your first visit you will be seen by Dr. Shah, MD.  You health history will be reviewed and you will likely have a small amount of blood work done to rule-out additional health issues that may be causing your body to not work at it’s optimal level (IE. thyroid).  If no contraindications are found you and Dr. Shah will determine your weight loss goals and decide if HCG is right for you.  If so you will be given a choice between injectable or oral and the pro’s and con’s of both will be discussed.  You will be given a protocol to follow and possibly some slight recommendations will be made to help you to achieve your goal quickly.  All questions and concerns will be addressed and you will be prescribed and sent home with your HCG. 

Q~ What about concerns between visits?

We are opened Tues-Sat. Our staff is medically trained to deal with all of your questions and concerns. If for any reason you need to get a in touch with someone during closed hours you will be given an alternative number for emergencies.  Never, Never feel that any question is a dumb question.  This is not just regarding our HCG, this is in regards to all of the services at HWC.  We are here to help you reach your optimal health care goals.  The last thing we want is for you to feel like your questions were not answered thoroughly.  Dr. Shah, Helene, Krista, Robert L Ac., and Dr. Dave are always just a phone call away.

Q~ What do I expect at my follow up appointments.

Your follow up appointments are usually very brief.  You are weighed and measured.  We will ask if you are having any issues you would like to discuss with Dr. Shah.  More than likely you will be very thrilled with your weight loss and increase in energy.  This appointment typically doesn’t require a Dr.’s visit and the staff is able to get your  HCG supplies for you.

The HCG Diet is very simple to follow.  You will be given outlined instructions and hints that will help move you along even quicker.  Typical weight loss is approx 1lb a day.  Although this seems a bit extreme, once reading the protocol and understanding how the body is able to shed so much weight so rapidly it all makes sense.  HCG is generally a very safe drug with very little side-effects. Unlike the effects from ephedra based drugs you will not experience increased heart rate, blood pressure reactions or other harmful effects that so many of the weight loss products on the market today seem to cause.  HCG is a prescription drug and should ALWAYS be monitored by a medical professional.  Not only does this ensure optimal results and allows you to always have a reliable medical team to depend upon but it also ensures that you are not getting counterfeit drugs or mixing HCG incorrectly which can be extremely dangerous, expensive and counter productive.

Having a medical work-up done prior to starting HCG can help to ensure that your tackling your health care needs appropriately and efficiently.
