IAPAM hCG Protocol Remediates Rising Healthcare Costs

Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

Las Vegas, Nevada (April 18, 2012) — The IAPAM offers the most comprehensive hCG Training for physicians looking to add hCG for weight loss to their practices. Over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol, and a new study from Cornell University reports that rising healthcare costs can be positively impacted through offering patients safe and sustained weight loss programs.

A recent study from Cornell University found that, “obesity now accounts for almost 21 % of U.S. health care costs – more than twice the previous estimates.” The study also reports that “an obese person incurs medical costs that are $2,741 higher than if they were not obese. Nationwide, that translates into $190.2 billion per year, or 20.6 % of national health expenditures. Previous estimates had pegged the cost of obesity at $85.7 billion, or 9.1 % of national health expenditures.” Moreover, a similar study in March 2012 from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, reported that, “obesity [now] adds more to health care costs than smoking does.”

In an effort to support physicians as they offer safe and effective weight management programs to their patients, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has developed a tool to bring trained hCG physicians and patients together: the IAPAM’s hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/hcg-diet-clinics). The IAPAM’s hCG Clinic Listing offers the most comprehensive hCG Diet Clinic listing of physicians, all of whom have been expertly trained in hCG for weight loss, by the IAPAM.

Patients seeking physicians, who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, can browse the directory to find an hCG expert physician in their area. All physicians listed on the IAPAM hCG Diet Clinic Directory page have:

1. advanced training in utilizing hCG for weight loss,
2. only offer pharmaceutical grade hCG, and
3. all their hCG patients use the IAPAM’s comprehensive hCG Protocol Patient Guidebook.

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, and a member of the expert faculty of instructors at the IAPAM’s hCG Physician Weight Loss Training, comments that, “since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011 and March 2012, patient demand for medically supervised hCG weight loss has exploded. We are seeing a correlating increase in physician-demand for the IAPAM’s hCG training, to capture this growing market.” To date, “well over 21,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol (http://www.hcgtraining.com), based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches, and the IAPAM’s hCG training is taught by a faculty who operate hCG weight loss clinics, allowing physicians and their staff to learn from the faculty’s vast experience,” shares Russell.

IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 27, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada, March 22, 2012 — On March 14, 2012, Dr. Oz’s comments re-ignited unprecedented positive interest in hCG for weight loss. To meet this consumer demand, the IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 27, 2012. Physicians will learn and receive everything they need to start safely and profitably offering hCG for weight loss to their patients in 2012.

Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG Program is Consistent with Dr. Oz’s hCG March 14, 2012 Recommendations

Calgary, Alberta, March 16, 2011 — The core principles of Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG for Weight Loss Program are consistent with those outlined by Dr. Oz in his March 14, 2012 segment on hCG for weight loss: it is imperative for patients to undertake an hCG program under the care of a trained physician, and never use hCG (homeopathic hCG) that is sold without a prescription.

In his March 14, 2012 segment on hCG for weight loss (http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/does-hcg-diet-work-pt-1), Dr. Oz announced that he had “new data” on the successful use of hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for weight loss. In a pilot study conducted by a leading medical weight management physician, Dr. Oz reported that patients following a strict, medically supervised hCG Protocol, were not hungry and lost weight, and ultimately lost more “fat vs. muscle,” than patients on only a low calorie diet.

During the segment, Dr. Oz had several key messages regarding the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical grade hCG in a physician-supervised weight loss program. These key messages are consistent the hCG for Weight Loss Program offered at Calgary’s Glenmore Healthcare and Wellness Clinic (http://www.glenmorehealthcare.com):

1. Consistent with the FDA’s position, homeopathic hCG (hCG drops, etc.) DOES NOT WORK. Only pharmaceutical hCG, prescribed by a physician as part of a proven hCG Protocol, is effective in fat and weight loss.

2. Unlike weight loss from a restrictive diet alone, where up to 1/3 of a patient’s weight loss is muscle loss, patients on an hCG Protocol loose fat from their stomachs, buttocks, etc. and “leave the muscle alone.”

3. Dr. Oz recommends that any patient on a diet under 1200 calories, should be under the direct care of a physician.

Glenmore Healthcare’s exclusive hCG Weight Loss Program (http://www.glenmorehealthcare.com/our-program) concurs with Dr. Oz’s hCG recommendations. Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG medically supervised weight loss program is based upon the successful protocol originally developed in 1954 by Dr. Simeons, and detailed in his report, Pounds and Inches, and is built around a low calorie diet coupled with the administration of the pharmaceutical grade of the naturally occurring hormone, hCG. Glenmore Healthcare follows the IAPAM’s (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine http://www.iapam.com) hCG Weight Loss Protocol (http://www.hcgtraining.com), which has been administered to over 20,000 patients around the world with consistent weight loss results.

Patients participating in the Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG for Weight Loss Program are monitored by a licensed physician who specializes in hCG for weight loss. Labs, vital statistics and body analysis (BIA) measurements are recorded prior to starting the program. Patients at Glenmore Healthcare have lost as much as 20 pounds in our 26 day program, and 35 pounds in our 43 day program. At the end of the program, clinic staff will test a patient’s RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) with the same equipment as used on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” It is very important that when a patient partakes of an hCG weight loss program, that they complete it under the supervision of a physician and follow the entire detailed protocol, as is done at Glenmore Healthcare.

For more information on Glenmore Healthcare’s hCG program or to book a consultation, contact Glenmore Healthcare at 403-452-5699 or info@glenmorehealthcare.com.

Relaxation Is Essential to Your Health, Well-Being and Ultimate Happiness According to New TurboCharged Hypnosis Series

Upgraded Website for TurboCharged™ Program Now Live.

NEW YORK – February 27, 2012 — According to authors Dian Griesel, Ph.D. and Tom Griesel, hypnosis is a powerful technique that anyone can use to implement positive personal changes quickly and almost effortlessly. The Griesels are the brother-sister team behind the groundbreaking TurboCharged 8-step program, which was launched in spring 2011 and defies common weight-loss theories.

The Griesels today unveiled an upgraded version of TurboCharged.us.com, a website through which readers can access a variety of resources keyed to the TurboCharged program for rapid fat loss and optimal health.

The new website, which has been optimized for easier navigation, features an online store where customers will be able to purchase all three TurboCharged books in print form as well as Kindle and Nook downloads:

• TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (BSH, 2011)
• The TurboCharged Mind: Eliminate Bad Habits with Hypnosis (BSH, 2012)
• The TurboCharged Recipe Book (BSH, forthcoming)

Visitors to the website can also access a series of downloads that offer ideal guided meditations to support and direct self-hypnosis sessions for faster fat loss, a shapelier body and greater health.

“All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and it can be learned and experienced by anyone,” explains Dian Griesel, a certified hypno-therapist, who is heard on the audio downloads. “It is magical in many ways, because it enables your brain to slow down and enter the alpha range, which is where dreams occur. Hypnosis allows you to go into the realm of relaxed, altered consciousness-the daydreaming state-so you can make your self-directed dreams become realities.”

She adds, “Like daydreaming, hypnosis is a perfectly normal, safe and healthy phenomenon. The only real difference between hypnosis and fantasizing or daydreaming is that in a state of hypnosis, your mind is directed to specific beneficial goals you wish to achieve.”

“Hypnosis can aid greatly in assisting you to create a happier, more peaceful and more productive life,” says Tom Griesel. “Basically, it is for anyone who would benefit from some additional rest and relaxation.”

The upgraded website also features a new active forum with periodic visits by Dian Griesel and Tom Griesel, a new daily blog by the Griesels and a daily news portal to stories on diet and nutrition.

The site currently offers a complimentary download called The TurboCharged® Mind Beginner Meditation. It is a beginner-directed meditation designed to help introduce listeners to the power of self-hypnosis, guided meditation and subsequent relaxation. The link to the free audio can be found at: http://turbocharged.us.com/store/

Feature topics in the series for purchase in the TurboCharged store will include: Beginner Meditation, Seeing the Prize and Your New Lean Body, Energy Meditation: Access Your Own Unique Power.

The new site was designed by Carla Rood, CEO of Polus Digital, Inc., a branding and marketing firm located in Manhattan. With a core belief that “good branding makes for easy marketing,” her company provides clients with a holistic approach to growing their business. These services include brand development, web design, presentation design, social media, and online marketing. To learn more, visit http://www.polusdigitial.com.

Parents’ New Year’s Resolution Weight Loss Behaviors Can Contribute to Eating Disorders in Children

Eating Recovery Center Urges Parents to Model Healthy Behaviors While Tackling Weight Loss and Fitness Goals

Denver, CO, January 17, 2012 – As millions of Americans resolve to lose weight in 2012, parents’ new diet and fitness regimens may have an unintended, negative outcome—triggering disordered eating behaviors or body image issues in their children. Because children often will mirror what they observe in their adult counterparts, Eating Recovery Center (www.EatingRecoveryCenter.com), an international center for eating disorders recovery providing comprehensive treatment for anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, urges parents to be mindful with their food- and body-focused words and behaviors while undertaking New Year’s resolutions.

“Children and teens are very susceptible to picking up value judgments about body shape and size,” said Elizabeth Easton, PsyD, clinical director of Child and Adolescent Services at Eating Recovery Center. “If we teach them – through dieting, over-exercise behaviors and critiques of our own bodies – that there is a ‘good’ body type, then that is exactly what children will strive for at all costs if they are susceptible to an eating disorder or poor body image.”

According to the National Eating Disorders Association, weight and body consciousness among children begins at very young ages, with research finding that 81 percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat and 46 percent of 9- to 11-year-olds are “sometimes” or “very often” on diets.

More than one-third of “normal dieters,” many of whom begin dieting at young ages, progress to pathological dieting, a condition marked by continual dieting and from which 20 to 25 percent of individuals develop eating disorders. When considered alongside a recent Thomson Reuters and National Public Radio poll, which reveals that one-third of Americans have made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight in the last five years, this research illustrates the perfect storm parents can unknowingly initiate by adopting aggressive or unhealthy weight loss regimens.

Eating Recovery Center encourages parents to follow these four tips to model healthy behavior, help their children embrace healthy attitudes about their bodies and minimize the chances that children will adopt negative thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image.

1. Do not diet. Instead, resolve to eat healthier, well-balanced meals. Through their own behaviors, parents can teach children how to focus on moderation without rigidly labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”

2. Shift your perspective on exercise. Instead of looking at exercise as a dreaded weight loss tool, approach it as a fun activity for feeling good and improving overall health. Plan family outings and activities and children will follow their parents’ example.

3. Be aware of comments you make about your body. Children are far more astute than parents may give them credit for, and they often mirror observed behaviors. Offhand comments about having a “fat day,” failing at your weight loss resolution or feeling too snug in an old pair of jeans can have a bigger effect on a developing child’s body image than many may think.

4. Be aware of comments you make about others. Criticizing others for “gaining a few pounds” over the holidays or complimenting someone for resolution-driven weight loss can lead children to believe that there are “good” and “bad” body shapes and sizes.

“Because eating disorders have a genetic component, children with a family history of anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder are particularly susceptible to negative diet- and body-focused words and actions,” explains Dr. Easton. “In these children, seemingly innocent body image comments or dieting behaviors can quickly spiral out of control.”

Parents are encouraged to seek an eating disorders assessment if they notice troubling food- or body image-oriented behaviors in their children. Recovery is entirely possible with early intervention and proper eating disorder treatment from qualified professionals.
