Aging brings with it an inevitable set of symptoms. From fine lines and wrinkles to growing strands of grey hair, many of the consequences of aging are aesthetic and don’t have a largely negative effect on your health. However, accumulated deposits of fat are a common issue faced by both men and women as they get older, and can have devastating consequences. Carrying just ten extra pounds of fat puts people at a much higher risk of illness and disease including cardiovascular problems, type 2 diabetes, immune related issues and more. To make matters worse, the older we are, the more difficult it can be to shed unwanted pounds, because of various hormonal imbalances and decade’s worth of lifestyle choices that are hard to reverse. Thankfully, there is a way for men and women in Atlanta to turn back the clock and get their youthful vigor back. HCG therapy has been in use in the medical world since the 1950’s as a fat loss aid, but has recently resurfaced thanks to the recommendations of popular medical personalities like Dr. Oz and technological advancements in the modern world of medicine. Dr. Harley and her team of dedicated specialists are proud to offer HCG therapy in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding communities. If you’re interested in Atlanta HCG therapy, call the Harley Institute Institute today and schedule your first appointment.Â
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is a hormone that is naturally produced in a pregnant woman’s placenta. HCG is used to promote and maintain a temporary endocrine structure that produces the extra progesterone needed during fetal development. HCG has also been used medically to induce ovulation in women and improve testosterone production for males. However, it is most popularly known for its role in helping improve weight loss by helping patients retain muscle and lose fat while on a calorie restricted diet.Â
Normally, when people undertake calorie restricted diets for weight loss purposes, the body will turn to both fat and muscular tissue to utilize as an energy source. Because lean muscle is important for maintaining a healthy body and ideal physique, it is always best to minimize loss of muscular tissue. Unfortunately, with diet and exercise alone, muscle often drops off, making it easier for the accumulated fat to return once normal calorie intake is restored. When undergoing HCG therapy in combination with a diet program, you can maximize the loss of fat and tell your body to keep its muscle. A body that has lost fat, yet maintains lean muscle will have a much stronger metabolism and will continue to be a fat burning machine when it’s time to return to a normal, healthy diet and exercise program.Â
