INDIVIDUALIZED WEIGHT LOSS
Our Individualized Weight Loss program is based on the book Why You Can’t Lose Weight, by Pamela Smith, MD, MPH. If you have had difficultly with you weight and
been unsuccessful in loosing weight or keeping it off this program may be the answer you have been looking for.
This is a medically based weight loss program that will examine the most common reasons why people can’t lose weight as they relate specifically to you.
As you are individually assessed, we will guide you in overcoming the obstacles that stand between you and a slimmer, trimmer and healthier body.
As part of our evaluation, we will examine major categories related to weight issues and how they relate specifically to you:
- Area 1: Lifestyle Practices: exercise, fiber intake, food addictions, sleep deprivation, stress and water intake.
- Area 2: Health Problems: food Allergies, chronic inflammation, thyroid hormone dysfunction, toxic build-up, and yeast infection.
- Area 3: Biochemical Factors: depression, female hormone imbalance, genetics, insulin resistance, male hormone deficiency, neurotransmitter dysfunction and pregnenolone insufficiency.
Once these above areas are evaluated, we will then provide specific recommendations for improvement to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
How often you meet will depend upon your individual obstacles and needs identified in each of the above areas. Initially, you will probably meet
3-4 times a month until you reach your weight loss goal and then maintenance visits to help you stabilize your weight.
A variety of assessment and treatment tools and methods will be utilized. Assessment will include questionnaires, lab work including serum (blood), urine and saliva. Treatment recommendations will relate specifically to you based on your individualized assessments. These treatment recommendations will include specific lifestyle, nutritional , dietary, supplement and hormone replacement therapy recommendations.
This program may be used separately or inconjuction with our HCG Weight Loss Program. Since this is not a one size fits all standard diet
program, the cost will be dependent upon the time spent with Dr. Fred Arnold, NMD or Jodi Arnold (Diet & Lifestyle Coach). We will work closely
with each patient to help them reach their ideal weight and stop the “yo-yo diet” problems so many people experience.
We welcome your questions and the opportunity to help you reach your weight loss and health goals.

What are the main functions of Lipotropics?
Lipotropic agents are a class of substances that play an important role in the body’s use of fat.
Many substances have lipo¬tropic properties of which choline, inositol and methionine are among the
most noteworthy. Through their involvement in lipid (fat) metabolism, lipotropics help maintain a healthy liver.
- They increase the production of lecithin by the liver. This helps to solubilize cholesterol,
thus lessening cholesterol depos¬its in blood vessels and decreasing the choice of gallstone formation.
(Gallstones are made of cholesterol)
- They prevent the accumulation of fats in the liver. A fatty liver can cause a sluggish liver function.
- They detoxify amine (by-products of protein metabolism) This is important for people on a high protein diet.
- They increase resistance to disease. They bolster the thymus gland to carry out its anti-disease function by
stimulating 4. the production of antibodies. Stimulating the growth of phagocytes, which surround and gobble up
invading viruses and microbes. They also recognize and destroy foreign and abnormal tissue.
What are some of the important functions of the individual Lipotropics?
Choline & Inositol are co-enzymes that are required for the proper metabolism of fats, and have the
ability to remove fat from the liver. Choline works well with inositol to utilize fats and cholesterol.
The body can produce choline, with the help of vita¬min B12, folic acid and methionine.
Choline: Metabolizes fat. Deficiency of Choline can lead to Cirrhosis and fatty degeneration of the
liver and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). It is being used today for ailments such as
gall bladder trouble, diabetes, Muscular Dystrophy, Glaucoma, senility and memory problems (forgetfulness).
Choline detoxifies amines that are the by-products of protein me¬tabolism.
Inositol: Deficiency of Inositol can lead to hair loss. It works with Vitamin E to facilitate its actions in the
treatment of Muscu¬lar Dystrophy. It is used in nerve and muscle disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral
Palsy. Caffeine may cause depletion of Inositol.
Methionine: It works with Choline to detoxify amines which are the by-products of protein metabolism. It acts
as a catalyst for Choline and Inositol, opening up their function. Along with Choline it aids in reducing liver
fat and protects the kidneys.
How are Lipotropics supplied?
They are supplied in injectable form. Dr. Fred Arnold generally prescribe 2 cc per
week injected intramuscularly. Mobilizes the fat and helps to break it down, it has Vitamin B6 to help you lose
your water weight and Vitamin B12 which boosts your energy level.
