Reduce Weight

Overview

Obesity is a common problem in the United States. Over half of Americans are overweight; 75 percent of Americans over fifty are overweight. Many of us accept obesity as another disadvantage of aging. Or we bravely try to fight obesity with diet and exercise, but expend too much effort with disappointing results. Diet and increased activity are a good start to conquering obesity, but they will never be enough to get the results you desire without correcting the things that cause us to gain weight. The very best way to reach your weight goals is to balance your hormones in conjunction with good nutrition and exercise.

Here at REVITA that’s exactly what we do. Our specially trained doctor will thoroughly assess your health and evaluate your internal chemistry. Often hormone deficiencies cause weight gain later in life, but are not typically (although possibly) the cause of lifelong weight issues. Patients are treated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy only if they have hormone deficiencies. There are also a number of things that affect your weight, so being tested and treated by our doctor is vital to finding the right solution for you. Our physician and Wellness Director can devise a treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs. We use the most recent research on holistic and natural medical treatments, diet, and bioidentical hormone replacement to help you gain control over your weight and transition your body to lean muscle.

When you engage in better nutritional choices paired with well-balanced natural hormone therapy created specifically for your body, you can feel and look better. Patients with a BMI over certain levels may be treated with our Weight Loss Program and can lose between fifteen and thirty-five pounds of fat in just the first month. REVITA specialists measure your weight and body fat at the beginning of any program, and then they meet with you weekly to track your progress. For more information on Weight Loss Program,

In addition, we discuss optimal eating choices with all patients. For those in the mid-weight range, many people think they are eating fairly well. Often there are lots of things that can be modified for optimal energy, weight and overall health. These lifestyle diet changes require little sacrifice and make a significant difference to weight and health over a period of time.

Questions

Nutrition and weight

Proper nutrition and physical exercise are essential elements of general good health and maintaining healthy weight. These practices are also an important part of attaining hormone balance. Our doctor and wellness director can recommend a plan of good nutritional choices and supplements to help you achieve healthy weight loss.

Puffiness in the morning

Your thyroid gland could be the culprit. Our doctor can test you for thyroid deficiency and recommend the correct thyroid hormone supplements to rid you of the puffiness, as well as provide other weight loss benefits.

Swollen face and/or excess fat on the neck and upper back

If you are suffering from adult onset facial swelling or excess fat on your neck and upper back, your cortisol (stress hormone) is most likely imbalanced; testosterone, thyroid, and other hormones could also be clinically deficient. Imbalance of any one or combination of these hormones can cause these undesirable effects, particularly when combined with stress, so it is important to be tested by our doctor to find the very best treatment for you. Balancing these hormones will also help reduce stress! Supplements and wellness activities might also be a part of your treatment plan.

Women: Disproportionately large breasts, especially before menstruation

Low levels of progesterone are the most common culprit of excessively heavy, tender, and swollen breasts, especially before menstruation. Testosterone and other hormone levels might also be deficient. Our doctor can test your hormone levels to find the cure for you, as well as recommend supplements to tone the muscles and skin on your chest and back to lift your breasts.

Men: Enlarged breasts

Lack of testosterone, excessive estrogen, and obesity can trigger development of male breasts. Our doctor can perform tests to determine if you are out of balance and the REVITA team can recommend nutrition choices and supplements to help you.

Excessive fat around abdomen

As we age, many of us struggle with excess weight in our abdomen. Testosterone, DHEA, and other hormone deficiencies may be causing excess fat in aging adults. If clinical deficiencies are found, proper hormone treatments may be discussed in addition to proper diet and exercise.

Overweight hips and thighs/Craving sweets or carbs

Do you feel like an overweight pear, trying to overcome your craving for sugary foods and carbohydrates but ultimately relying on them to fight fatigue? You are probably producing too much insulin. You might have tried to give up sweets and simple carbohydrates, but to no avail. There are hormones that can help your body regulate insulin, including cortisol, thyroid hormone, testosterone and other hormones. Our doctor can test you for deficiencies in any and all of these hormones to determine how to best treat you. Miraculously, your sugar cravings can be curbed! Having youthful levels of hormones will also help you to trim the pear shape.

Love handles/Fatty upper arms

If you have a clinical deficiency, there are hormone therapies that will help with the reduction of adult onset excessive fat on your arms and sides, especially when combined with the right diet for you. Testosterone may also be helpful. Our doctor can test you and treat you for deficiency of these hormones and recommend a diet specifically tailored for your needs.

Cellulite

Testosterone and other hormones can help firm your thighs, especially in conjunction with proper diet and exercise. If you have a clinical deficiency, our physician can devise a treatment plan to help reduce cellulite and firm your thighs.

Heavy calves

Disproportionately heavy calves are typically due to thyroid deficiency. Our doctor can treat your deficiency and recommend supplements to reduce heavy calves.

Swollen ankles/legs

Low thyroid levels and/or excess of aldosterone may be causing swelling in the ankles and legs. Our doctor can test and treat you for these imbalances.

Weight Loss Program or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Patients are treated with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy only if they have hormone deficiencies. Weight gain that occurs later in life is often caused by these hormone deficiencies. If patients have had lifelong weight issues it is unlikely (although possible) that the weight gain is caused by a hormone deficiency. Regardless, the physician will check all hormones. Patients with a body mass index over 30 may be treated with our Weight Loss Program. For more on the Weight Loss Program please visit our Services page or our Contact Us page.

What are your medical dispensing protocols?

REVITA offers treatment only to individuals with a clinical deficiency. Our company name is REVITA Anti-Aging, but we prescribe medications only to those who are determined to have a clinical deficiency by means of lab testing conducted by our REVITA Medical Physician. Working with our specially trained physician is important to ensure your short and long term wellness. Taking any type of supplement or prescription medication, even those that are natural as possible, can be counterproductive for your health and money if treatment is not necessary.

Testimonials

“I can work out for a short period of time, like 20 minutes and I am able to keep my physique. My body just responds. The guys ask me what I do and I tell them. As you know many of them now come here. What you do is great. I love it. “

~ Mike, Charlotte, 39

“The great part is my blood pressure is down, my weight is down, my body looks better and I feel great. I want to go to the gym,  I feel better and want to do it. Then when I go and see results and feel even better about my progress I want to do it more. It’s catch 22 in a positive manner. People joke about a magic pill, and it is a joke really, but this is the closest thing to it. My wife was very skeptical and I was at first too but she kept hearing good feedback from REVITA patients.”

~ Wade, Charlotte, 42

“I am able to work out longer and harder. I could feel results immediately. And you can use my first name and last name. I’d tell anybody. And I already have. I would like others to experience the same thing.”

~ Tim Young, Charlotte, 52

“After a few months on the program I saw a huge difference. I had lost 20 pounds of body fat and developed muscle and tone I hadn’t seen in 15 years. I really saw the difference on the basketball court. I am playing against guys in their teens and twenties and staying up with them. My overall athleticism, strength and stamina have skyrocketed.”

~ Dave Hair, CEO, nGroup, Inc 500′s Fastest Growing Company, 52

“Well from a physical standpoint my body is almost back to the way it was in my 20′s. When you are older you don’t have that same burn when you workout. I’m back to where I was in my 20′s physically.”

~Arthur

“And my workouts are getting better too. I started doing yoga again, and I just worked out my legs yesterday. I can barely walk today!”

~Douglas, 42

“Wow my strength is really back. I am so much stronger now it’s unreal.  I’m 41 and I squat 300 for 5 reps, dead lift 300 for 5 reps and overhead press 160lbs. My strength is better than ever. I just feel incredible. I’m planning on doing two back-to-back marathons coming up, a Saturday and a Sunday marathon. Then the next week I’m going to do another marathon, so basically 3 marathons in a week. I can’t wait. That will be another first for me. The vitamins are just incredible too.”

~ Mike, 41

“The anti-aging program helped me a lot,  I lost weight.  More people need to know about this type of treatment (BHRT). I do bioidentical testosterone, progesterone, HGH and DHEA.”

~Theresa, 52

“After only 5 weeks, I am stronger, have lost fat, I have more energy and I am much more active. I feel like myself again.  I actually received treatment from a Doctor that was not properly trained and was not certified in Age Management Medicine.  That experience did me more harm than good. I did a lot of research and doing it right is the way to go.”

~Phil, 39

“It’s like night and day. I work 50-60 hours a week and I used to come home and hit the couch, that’s all I had energy for and that’s all I wanted to do. When I started I was 235 lbs with 25% body fat. Now I’m 10% body fat and weight 205.  I feel so much better. I now look forward to going to the gym at night.  I used to work out for 1-2 weeks, and then stop for a few months. I was never really able to get into it.  Now I go 5 days a week and I love it. I see results.”

~Ray, Gastonia, 47

“Ever since I got on the program, I want to go to the gym. It makes me want to eat well too. It’s like night and day. I was in a real lull and I would need to force myself to go to the gym. And since I own several businesses I work a lot of long hours, evenings, weekends, etc. I need my energy and focus.”

~Rocky, Greensboro, 47

“I feel reborn. I’m the young guy I remember I was. I’m the athlete I used to be. I’m no longer the old guy I started to become.”

~Luke, Suncity, South Carolina, 65

“I always worked out and ate right. For two years prior to starting the program I went to the gym and pretty much only attained incidental improvement, but as soon as I went on the program I felt stronger.”

~Dave, Charlotte, 40

“After 15 weeks of treatment I gained 19 pounds of muscle and lost ten pounds of fat. Everyone was asking what I was doing. At 37, I would have argued I was still in peak condition, but I forgot how much energy and strength I once had.”

~Don, Charlotte

“I now look forward to going to the gym. I have the energy, and I need an outlet. Before the treatment, I used to have to drag myself in.”

“I didn’t tell anyone I was undergoing treatment until 3-4 months after I started. I was so excited I had to tell my friends how much better I felt.”

“I work 80 hours a week and STILL go to the gym after work most nights. A lot of people have noticed a difference and have commented on how much better I look…my wife notices a difference too! I just feel better! Thanks REVITA for making my life better!!!”

~Matt V., Charlotte, NC, 48

“I feel as good as I did in high school. I’m loving it. Just bought new jeans, I’m down two pant sizes. I’m doing yoga, P9OX and I ran 5 miles yesterday. I want to be active again. Three people last week asked about my diet and exercise. It is because I look so much healthier. People can just tell I’m healthy. I’m loving it. My nine year old son is now doing P9OX with me so he can look like Dad someday. I really enjoy being so healthy.”

~Jose, Fort Mill, 37

“I can’t pinch my fat. My trainer is impressed with my gains. Today I worked out for one hour with weights, then did 5K training for one hour…so two hours today. I WAS NOT doing that before. My body has changed a lot…and libido is drastically improved. My wife has certainly noticed a difference. I can’t wait to get my updated body fat test done.”

~Adam, Virginia, 44

“Nice increase in body tone, I had love handles before. My body fat percentage has dropped. I eat a lot healthier. I’m a new man. My physique is much different. My waist is smaller and I put two inches on my arms. I feel so much healthier.”
