Your metabolism regulates one of the most important functions in your body; namely, how food turns to energy. There are a number of ways in which you can support and encourage it to function optimally. Here at Cyrus Advanced Institute in El Paso, TX, we offer several methods of metabolic optimization to help our patients achieve their target weight and energy levels. Let’s explore what your options are and what results you can expect from treatment.
When we speak of metabolism, we mean all the chemical processes that turn the food you eat into the energy you use to complete your daily tasks. There are many reasons why it’s important to optimize this system. While most people know that a higher metabolism can help you to lose weight and keep it off for the long term, it’s less well-known that your energy levels are also dependent on these processes.
There are many ways to improve your metabolism, and here at Cyrus Advanced Institute, we use three main methods: HCG, a combination of a deep detoxification diet with peptide therapy, and custom prescription medicine. Which one is right for you will depend on your individual situation and what you’re hoping to get out of treatment.
HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that’s very common in early pregnancy and is used in pregnancy tests. It can help to support the fetus’s growth and maintain the levels of certain other hormones, such as progesterone. However, it also boosts your metabolism and can help you to lose weight without the usual feeling of hunger.
HCG is administered in several different ways. When you come to us with concerns about your metabolism, we can determine whether this is the best solution for you and if so, how to administer it. Although the hormone is available commercially, it’s important that you consult a professional because we can confirm that it’s appropriate and what the correct dosage is.
Detox diets are very popular because they can clean your blood from harmful substances and eliminate toxins. In a world where much of our food is processed and enhanced by chemicals, an occasional detox can be a great way to give your body some relief and prevent certain common diseases. When combined with peptide therapy, a detox diet can work wonders for your metabolism.
Peptides are chains of amino acids, and they are involved in a wide range of your body’s functions. In particular, they act as messengers and start certain chemical processes. There are several peptides that can improve your metabolic function, and we can help you to choose which ones are the most suitable for you.
A third way to help your metabolism is to use prescription medications that can make you feel full sooner, feel less hungry, or make it harder to absorb the fat from the food you eat. We might consider such a measure if you’re overweight or obese and are having trouble losing weight by simply using diet or exercise. Because of the detrimental effects of excess weight, it’s important that you address the issue, and prescription medicines can kick-start your metabolism.
Since we use different techniques to optimize your metabolism, the treatment will be unique to your situation. We will find the best method to suit your needs, then come up with a mid- to long-term treatment plan. In most cases, you will make some lifestyle changes to support your results.
The first step will be a consultation with Dr. Benitez or a member of his talented team. During this Metabolic Optimization appointment, you can tell us about your struggles with your metabolism and what you hope to achieve through treatment. We will also analyze your health history to determine whether you have any conditions that could affect treatment.
As a next step, we will suggest the method that’s most suitable for you. This could depend on your past treatment experiences, your current situation, and your personal preferences. In addition, we take the drugs you already use into consideration, as we can’t offer you treatment that interferes with your other prescription medications.
Once we’ve come up with a plan together, we will tell you about how the treatment is administered and what results you can expect to see. In most cases, optimizing your metabolism will take several weeks or months, so you won’t see instant results. Instead, you will gradually achieve your goals as long as you keep up with treatment and the lifestyle changes we have discussed.
Most of the time, patients looking to optimize their metabolism are struggling with their weight-loss goals. However, you may also be eligible for treatment if you suffer from tiredness and sluggishness that you can’t seem to shake. Another tell-tale sign of a slow metabolism is hair loss, which can be stopped once you get treatment. If you suffer from any of these issues, don’t hesitate to speak to us about getting treated.
Overweight and obesity are conditions that affect more than two-thirds of the American population. Having excess weight can affect all of your body’s main functions and put you at risk for many diseases such as heart failure and diabetes. If you are severely overweight or worried about becoming so in the future, you could be a great candidate for treatment.
You might have tried many different methods, such as dieting or exercising regularly, but sometimes, these strategies are not enough, particularly if your metabolism is slow. In such a case, metabolism optimization treatment might be a great fit. Because of the variety of methods we use, we’ll be able to find a solution even if you have other health conditions.
Metabolic optimization is an important part of weight loss, and it can also help you to achieve high energy levels. Come to see us at Cyrus Advanced Institute in El Paso, TX, and we will help you to figure out how you can best improve your metabolism. With three world-class treatments available, you will find a solution no matter what your current health concerns are.
