Hcg for Weight Loss & Hormone Balancing

This is a prescription medication which requires daily injections or sublingual drops for one month. The process begins with an initial assessment to determine whether this is the best method of weight loss for you. Blood work will be done before the prescription in order to obtain a baseline of how your immune system and organs are functioning. A nutritional program is also used in coordination with the injections. Weight loss is quick with this protocol. To avoid feeling badly, and to get optimal results, we recommend our detox program prior to starting the shots. The detox meal plan is included in the price (supplements are extra).

You may want to do the 30 day program several times a year with the nutritional program for best results.

Blood Work

Done after the first visit.

During the first appointment with Dr. Austin, she will put together a lab requisition form for you to bring to a local lab near your home for the blood draw. What is being tested for is individual and will be determined from the initial meeting when the patient shares their symptoms, health concerns and goals. Blood work is more extensive than what a patient is used to with their doctor as hormones and nutritional tests are usually included in the work up. Blood work is covered under most PPO plans. If you do not have insurance coverage, we will provide you with at cost tests to prevent you being charged insurance prices.

Body Composition Test

Using bio-impedance analysis (BIA), your fat pounds, water in your body, muscle mass and how many calories you need to eat to ensure weight loss will be calculated for you. With this information, we keep track of your weight to ensure you are losing fat pounds and not losing muscle mass. It is recommended to do this test every month to monitor progress. For best results, use this in coordination with our First Line Therapy program.

Thermography Breast Screening

Upcoming dates:

• Friday, April 13th
• Friday, May 11th
• Friday, June 15th

Thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic exam which uses infrared cameras to detect early signs of pre-cancerous tissue.  By detecting minute variations in normal blood vessel activity, infrared imaging may find thermal signs suggesting a pre-cancerous state of the breast or the presence an early tumor that is not yet large enough to be detected by physical examination, mammography, or other types of structural imaging.

In addition to the exam of the breast and abdominal area, it also includes a 15-minute consult to go over the results with the doctor. Please call our office to book your thermogram or book online.

Initial 45 minute visit – initial screening to start nutritional program + BIA

What is FirstLine Therapy?

A proven personalized lifestyle medicine program that incorporates therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) such as healthy nutrition, nutritional protocols, exercise, and stress management.
You will be working one-on-one with our doctor and FLT nurse to get the best care you need to change your lifestyle. This is a nutritional coaching program for people that need help managing their illness and do not want to take medication or want to wean off their medications. After 12 weeks, these conditions have greatly improved on FLT. Blood work is needed before and after the program. BIAs (Body Impedance Analysis) are done through out the program to ensure you are not losing muscle mass and your correct body composition is being established.

This program called “first line of therapy” is used for treating and reducing the risk of common conditions such as:

Wiley Protocol™ for Men

The only cyclical male bio-identical hormone therapy, using DHEA and testosterone creams.  It mimics the body’s production of testosterone and DHEA exactly, including seasonal variation.  Cyclical dosing prevents metabolites and testosterone being covered to estrogen.  The application via creams avoids liver involvement.  Recommended for:

• Energy
• Libido, erections
• Brain function, focus
• Increased muscle mass
• Bone health
• Circulation

 

Start off the treatment by booking an initial visit with Dr. Austin. Blood work is initially done to determine dosing of hormones, and follow-up visits ensure they stay at the optimal levels.

Wiley Protocol™ Testosterone for Women

As a woman ages, her libido and desire for sex often diminishes. Testosterone levels are highest for a woman in the early twenties, but by the time she approaches and enters menopause there may be a testosterone deficiency.  Testosterone can play a key role in libido, energy, bone health and immune function in women. Produced by the ovaries, testosterone over the course of the menstrual cycle  has a rhythm in women.

The replacement of estrogen alone may not correct loss of muscle tone, absent sex drive, or general lack of mental function. The Wiley Protocol Testosterone cream for women is biomimetic and replicates feminine testosterone hormone rhythms.

Thyroid Hormone Restoration and Treatments

Herbs, nutrition and prescription iodine drops often aid in the functioning of the thyroid. Armour thyroid is also frequently prescribed. Based on blood work and basal body temperature charting, an individual treatment protocol will be made for you.

If you require thyroid medication, you may now choose rhythmic dosing using Wiley Protocol Thyroid instead of your static dosing in pill form. Wiley believes that the traditional dosing of thyroid formulas may interfere with the rhythms of the original Wiley Protocol. Wiley Protocol Thyroid is the only Biomimetic thyroid therapy on the market today. It uses the rhythms of nature to mimic the manner in which thyroid hormone occurs in a healthy body. It will not interfere with the original Wiley Protocol.

Natural Hormones (Wiley Protocol™) Cyclical Dosing

The Wiley Protocol® is a trademarked bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (Hormone Replacement Therapy, or B.H.R.T.) made famous by actress Susan Sommers. This is a topical cream delivery system consisting of biomimetic estradiol, progesterone, and testoterone — dosed to mimic the natural hormone rhythm produced by a woman’s body when she was in her prime. This method by-passes the liver and the digestive system to ensure maximum absorption. Used to prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, mood disturbance, dryness, hair loss, incontinence and libido concerns. Blood work is done to ensure your appropriate dosing for your body.

Prolotherapy for Arthritis and Muscle Aches

A good quality of life is one of the most important things we could strive for. But for some of us, the aches and pains of years ahead makes that a hard task to achieve.

Let us start by making this year, the year you will live pain free by introducing one of the most effective treatments out there for aches and pains, prolotherapy. Many health concerns from acute to chronic conditions could benefit from this treatment such as arthritis, sciatica and joint pain. In addition, it works to release muscle spasms and trigger points so fibromyalgia patients really do well with it.

Prolotherapy involves injecting non-pharmacological solutions into the regions of ligaments, tendons, and specific local acupuncture points. This process works to help your body heal itself through its own process of inflammation and repair. It will strengthen the weak connective tissue and decrease pain. Usually 6-8 weekly treatments are needed to see results. Monthly maintenance shots may be required.

Seeing a naturopathic doctor that can perform prolotherapy has many benefits as they can also provide you with a complete treatment protocol consisting of a meal plan, exercise program and herbal medicines that are individualized to help your body heal from within.

Bioidentical Hormones

Dr. Austin is the only San Diego based doctor trained to do bio-identical hormone treatment in the Wiley Protocol™ fluctuating pattern. This mimics your body’s exact production of hormones and puts your hormone levels at optimal functioning for the best quality of life. This is referred to as multi-phasic dosing of bioidentical (natural) hormone replacement therapy. Used to balance hormonal levels, it provides the following benefits:

• Build bone density
• Lower lipid levels
• Alleviate menstrual migraines
• Elevate mood and psyche
• Restorative deep sleep and dreams
• Skin improvements
• Improve sex drive

 

Explanation: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) should not be a static dose, as our hormones are not meant to be in a constant state all the time. Every hormone has its own rhythm of secretion, and we need to dose hormones as close as possible to mimic our natural cycles. This could enable us to achieve the peaks and valleys hormones need in order to create their own receptors and set the stage for the body to regulate itself. Every person would need a different amount of hormones based on their blood work and lifestyle.

What to expect: You will be working closely with Dr. Austin to get the best results for you. In individualized medicine, keeping track of your symptoms or patterns when they arise is key to dosing you appropriately. Lifestyle such as nutrition, supplements, medication, sleep all have a role in how you feel. Meal plans, herbs, supplements and lifestyle changes will all be advised.

Saliva testing is a convenient, inexpensive, and above all, accurate means of testing steroid hormones. Scientific studies have shown a strong correlation between steroid hormone levels in saliva and the amount of hormone in the blood that is active or “bioavailable.” It is this fraction of total hormone that is free to enter the target tissues in the brain, uterus, skin, and breasts.
