Weight Loss Options
Option 1: Weight loss pills- “Bella”
$150 per month
Bella is composed of Buproprion, Phentermine, Topiramate, Naltrexone, and Methylcobalamin at different doses, Bella will have the lowest dose of all, with each version (Bella 2, Bella 3, Bella 4). The Phentermine in each version will go up in dose that will make the most difference in the combination. This combination has been found extremely effective in weight loss. There are also options WITHOUT phentermine. For phentermine, you must medically qualify, have recent labs (within a year), an EKG within a year, as it can cause arrhythmias if abused or taken for long amounts of time (more than 6 months), and must have a physical and initial in-house visit. The phentermine option is only available to Florida residents.
- Bella 2 is similar, with a higher dose of each medication
- Bella 3 substitutes Caffeine for phentermine, and also includes Oxytocin.

$350 per month
AQD-9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug) is a synthetic peptide fragment that comprises a modified 15 amino acid region of Growth Hormone with a tyrosine component to help stabilize the molecule. It was originally developed by Professor Frank Ng at Monash University in Australia, with the intent of finding an anti-obesity drug that had the fat-burning effects of human growth hormone (HGH) without the muscle-building effect. Similar to GH, AOD 9604 aids weight reduction in rodent models of obesity and was originally developed for the treatment of obesity in humans. Additionally, it does not stimulate the production of IGF-1, has positive effects on the differentiation of adipose mesenchymal stem cells into bone, and was found to promote proteoglycan and collagen production in isolated bovine chondrocytes in an in vitro study. Its positive effects include promoting the repair of bone and cartilage in cases of OA Info is attached to this as well. It’s a good option for lipolysis, or fat breakdown with good success rates. It is taken as a short course: 3 to 4 months. These are nightly injections of about 300mcg or 0.3ml. There is also an option of a sublingual troche.

- Treatment in osteoarthritis, hypercholesterolemia, bone and cartilage repair
Option 3: MIC injections
$350 per vial, 10 shots total, given 1-2 times per week.
What makes up a MIC Injection?
Methionine: it supports the digestive system by helping to remove heavy metals within the body while breaking down
fat deposits thus preventing the possible build-up of fat in arteries. Methionine can also be converted to cytosine, the precursor of glutathione, which is essential in the detoxification of the liver.
Inositol: supports the transfer of nutrients at the cellular level and helps maintain proper electrical energy across the cell membrane. In addition, Inositol converts fats into other useful forms of energy and assists in establishing healthy cell membranes thus facilitating nerve impulses.
Choline: assists in controlling cholesterol levels in the blood and in controlling weight gain by maintaining healthy cell
membranes. Choline has been linked to and directly associated with the maintenance of the nervous system, assisting memory, and is critical for normal cell membrane structure and function. Choline is the precursor of betaine which helps in liver function and in the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Other common ingredients within MIC injections are B vitamins and L-Carnitine which allows for additional benefits in weight loss and general health.
- Vitamin B1: serves as a catalyst in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
- Vitamin B2: assists in metabolizing fats and carbohydrates.
- Vitamin B3: assists in the breakdown of nutrients into a release of energy. Vitamin B3 also can help reduce cholesterol levels for patients.
MIC injections once or twice weekly while dieting allow the patient to lose an additional 1-2 pounds per week. Advantages of MIC injections are outlined below but patients express higher energy levels while experiencing better cognitive function during their diet program. MIC injections have been used successfully in combination with weight loss programs for over 30 years, the MIC formulation consists of a combination of “B” Essential vitamins (B-1,2,3,5,6 & B12) and other essential amino acids which are not readily available from the food we eat or is not being produced by our body. MIC injections are safe, give energy when reducing caloric intake, and is often used in diet plans that initiates additional weight loss and enhance weight loss results.
The nutrients in MIC shots are a class of agents that play important roles in the body’s use of fat. These compounds
enhance liver and gallbladder’s role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up the metabolism of fat and its removal.
Option 4: Caffeine/Ephedrine/Aspirin capsules
$150 per month
Ephedrine is a stimulant used to raise metabolic rate and increase fat loss. It is derived from a Chinese shrub called Ephedra sinica used in Chinese medicine to improve respiratory function and breathing and used in some asthma medications around the world. Ephedrine works by binding cell receptors together to trigger a “fight-or-flight” response to increasing heart rate, lower hunger, and speed up fat burning.
Option 5: Weight management kit
$300 per month
Includes: Naltrexone, Sermorelin (injectable or pill) Lipo-Trim sublingual spray. I have also attached some information on those.
Option 6: Semaglutide Injections:
$550 per month
Once weekly Subcutaneous injections, dose will increase weekly to monthly depending on patient’s tolerance to the medication. This medication causes delayed gastric emptying, meaning it will slow the delay in emptying the food in your stomach to keep you fuller and longer and prevent you from overeating or craving certain foods. It does have some side effects including nausea, so I can prescribe Zofran in addition to this to help with the symptoms.
Also available in sublingual troches and tabs/pills.
