Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss involves a comprehensive medical office visit, history and physical, to determine the factors that have contributed to weight gain. Dr. Ling will partner with you to develop a short and long term plan to lose weight safely, and remodel the composition of your body.  We also utilize a detoxification program called FirstLine Therapy Clear Change by Metagenics, as part of the weight loss program, as well as for those who have stalled or plateaued in their progress.

What It Is:

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone naturally produced in the body and is increased during pregnancy.  HCG has many functions within the body including maintaining progesterone production and immune function during pregnancy. As a mother goes through the stages of pregnancy, her HCG levels correspondingly rise in order to help maintain nutrition for the growing placenta.
