RESHAPE

What is Reshape?

Reshape is a weight loss programme that primarily focuses on fat loss. By combining Lipolytic injections with a very low calorie (500 calorie per day) diet you will lose up to 30% more abnormally stored fat as opposed to a reduced calorie diet on its own.

What is Lipolytic?

Lipolytic is a natural product that will trigger lipolysis (breaking down fat) and blocking lipogenesis (absorbing energy into fat cells) if combined with a reduced calorie diet.

How does it work?

The combination of the medication and the specially formulated eating plan will trigger the body to tap into your abnormal fat stores as a source of energy. By tapping into your fat reserves you will release a substance called leptin that will trigger you satiety centre in you brain and give you a feeling of “fullness”. Lipolytic also increases your serotonin (happy hormone) levels thus increasing your mood.

The end result being weight (fat) loss, increased energy levels, decreased hunger and positive mood.

Can anyone do the programme?

Because it’s a natural product it is safe and has no side effects. However you have to see you doctor to rule out any medical cause for you weight problem.

Reshape is a weight loss programme that primarily focuses on FAT loss.

What is hCG?

The active ingredient of the Lipolytic injection is a protein called hCG.

hCG is an abbreviation for Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin. It is a hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Women make the equivalent of millions of International Units (IUs) during pregnancy. It is believed that hCG maximizes the functional capacity of the body’s control centers in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a part of the central nervous system and controls many different body functions. Dr. Simeons believed that one center in the hypothalamus, which he called the fat bank, controls the movement and distribution of fat throughout the body. hCG mobilizes abnormal fat and releases it as a source of energy and nutrients. Thus the hypothalamus ensures that the developing fetus has access to energy and nutrients even if a pregnant woman temporarily lacks access to food, thus protecting the fetus’s growth and development. Likewise, when a patient is on the Dr. Simeon’s hCG Protocol small amounts of hCG have been shown to mobilize abnormal fat and to make it available to the body as a source of energy and nutrients.

How is it possible to be on a 500 * calorie per day while on this Protocol?

Some people have a hard time understanding the rationale behind the 500 * calorie per day diet. They may say that anyone would lose weight on a 500 * calorie per day diet or that it would be impossible to follow.

If somebody were to start a 500 * calorie per day diet without hCG, he or she would experience the following: hunger, cravings, feelings of misery, loss of structural mass, and a lack of loss of abnormal fat deposits. When patients start on the hCG protocol they generally lose up to 0.5kg abnormal fat per day. Each 0.5kg of fat contains approximately 3500 calories. If people lose 0.5kg of abnormal fat in one day that makes 3,500 calories available to them. This in addition to the 500 calories that they consume through their diet, making the total 4,000 calories. If people lose 0.25kg of normal fat, that makes 1,750 calories available to them, making the total 2,250 calories. So although the oral consumption is limited to 500 calories per day, patients have access t adequate amounts of energy because of the calories is generated internally through the breakdown of fat deposits (lipolysis)

* One food calorie (1 kcal or 1,000 calories) is the amount of digestively available food energy (heat) that will raise the temperature of one kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

What is the long-term success rate?

Dr Simeons found that the long-term success rate among the patients that he treated and followed in the 1950′s, 1960′s and 1970′s was very high. I have found that many patients who start the hCG Protocol lose their desires and cravings for junk food, and that they tend to make permanent changes in their eating habits. To ensure long-term success it is important to stay away from or minimize the consumption of any foods and food ingredients which may adversely impact the hypothalamus. As much as possible, I recommend that patients choose organic, whole foods that are not processed or adulterated in any way.

Is there any research that supports this protocol?

A significant amount or research has been done that shows that the Dr Simeon’s hCG Protocol is effective for weight reduction. More than 90% of the patients that take this protocol seriously, who are willing to follow Dr Simeons recommendations closely, and who follow up with me regularly are very successful in losing weight, quickly, safely and without hunger.

hCG Weight Loss Protocol

This programme offers you a solution to yo-yo dieting. (Periods of weight loss invariably followed by periods of severe weight gain and obesity.)

One of the main reasons for this problem is that the modern generation eats far more than our bodies need and we consume much more energy than our bodies can burn. One consequence of this is that we lose the ability to realize that we have had enough. The problem increases over the years, and as we get older even smaller quantities of food can cause alarming weight increases. This is not only bad for the appearances but is also associated with serious health problems, such as arterial and venous thrombosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes etc. We now understand that this condition should be treated as a chronic disorder. To control it, it is necessary to understand how our bodies deal with fat.

There are three kinds of fat in the body: the first is structural fat, which protects organs and keeps the skin smooth and firm. The second type is a normal reserve of energy which the body can use to keep when insufficient food is available. The third type is problematic, abnormal fat reserve. This problematic fat reserve is not used by the body when insufficient food is consumed (for instance, during a disaster or typically in the case of crash dieting).

The reason for this is the functioning of the hypothalamus, an organ which is located at the base of the brain. The hypothalamus controls and regulates many involuntary functions of the body, including the sensation of hunger and the way in which the body manages and stores energy. When you start a drastic diet, known as a very low calorie diet, the hypothalamus in the brain interprets it as an emergency, or a sign that there is some kind of disaster which makes it impossible to obtain food for an indefinite period. An unfortunate result of such a diet is that the hypothalamus ensures that the abnormal, problematic fat reserve remains protected and unavailable for metabolic purposes. When you start a very low calorie diet, the first fat to burn is therefore the normal fat reserve, followed by structural fat, and only then will the body start using the abnormal, ‘emergency’ fat reserves. However, most dieters never make it to the last stage: they feel famished and unwell because of food deprivation and give up their diet long before the body starts metabolizing its abnormal fat reserves.

The treatment we offer involves a comfortable, safe and scientifically researched method of weight control by means of simple and practical maintenance rule. It prevents fat mobilization from the 2 normal, important fat reserves in the body and allows you to lose weight in a sustained manner, while depleting the your abnormal, harmful fat reserve without feeling famished.

This treatment is not a once-off cure for overweight: rather obesity must be treated as a chronic disorder. You must accept that certain kinds of food should always be avoided in future and that the treatment is most effective if repeated every 14 – 15 months. Furthermore, it puts you in control: you can manage your own body weight by weight increase of more than 1KG since your last treatment.

In addition to the treatments we offer, we also stock the following products:

ENVIRON

Environ for Life

The real beauty of Environ is that you do not need to alter the original regime you began with, except to add specific intensive products as and when needed. The concept of replacing lost vitamins in the skin is always adhered to. The skin does not change the way it works merely because a person ages. This means that regimes are similar for all, except that at different ages the levels of vitamins and certain intensive products will be utilised for specific concerns. Environ’s philosophy is to maintain a beautiful skin for a life time, no matter what your age, skin tone or gender may be.

We all age from birth onwards and our skin follows the same pattern. Thankfully there is a great deal one can do to maintain the appearance of a beautiful skin.

Starting at a very early age and learning to maintain and nurture one of the greatest assets every person has, makes perfect scientific sense. Choosing the correct skin care routine for your age is crucial to maintaining beautiful skin throughout your life and well into your mature years.

MICRO NEEDLE ROLLER

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)

This is simply using a natural body method of self regeneration. Using the micro needles, the skin is pierced very lightly (not damaging it), but with enough depth to trigger “nerve-stimulus”. This promotes the regeneration of the skin around the area where the puncture occurred, stimulating the body’s own production of collagen, eventually creating a new layer of skin that will fill wrinkles, stretch marks and most skin imperfections, naturally!

In contrast to conventional treatments like laser resurfacing or peels, Collagen Induction Therapy is non-ablative and achieves results without burning or removing the superficial epidermis.

Apart from the collagen production that is crucial to this treatment, the derma roller also acts as a catalyst to any skin products you are using. The absorption/penetration of any skin product is increased dramatically and its results will be largely increased by combining it with this method.

The procedure takes from ten minutes to an hour, depending on the area to be treated. Results can take three to nine months to fully appear as the body takes time to generate new collagen. The patient sees continual improvement.

Fantastic results for any of these problems: Deep stretch marks, wrinkles, acne, keratosis, breast wrinkles/creases, cellulite, hair loss, thin facial skin, saggy under chin, wrinkly/dry hands, scars and much, much more!
