We at Bodhi Body have noticed that there is a lot of recent curiosity and interest surrounding the hCG diet.  The hCG protocol is indeed available at Bodhi Body and supervised by a Bodhi physician.  Below are the answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding the specialized hCG Diet Program we offer to our patients.

What is the Bodhi Body hCG diet?

A physician-supervised 12 week program that consists of a strict diet (only six weeks), supplementation, Far Infra Red Sauna, and small injections of hCG hormone (only six weeks).

Why a 12 week program?

The hCG injections (shots) are given in this biphasic manner over a 12 week period because we have found that people who perform the typical 21 day hCG weight loss protocol have a fairly high tendency to regain the weight back once they stop. By performing 3 weeks on, 6 off, and then 3 weeks on, the body will have an increased ability to keep the weight off because we are furthering the “reprogramming” of the pituitary gland.

What is hCG?

hCG is an acronym that stands for human chorionic gonadotrophin. This is a hormone found in both men and women.

Why hCG?

A deficient diencephalon or pituitary gland is the thought behind the hCG diet. The pituitary gland is known as the master gland in the body and is responsible for many functions including growth, blood pressure, sex organ function, metabolism regulation, and more.

What does the hCG do?

Through the small daily doses of hCG the pituitary gland function is optimized. This regulates the metabolism of the patient and directs the mobilization of fat around the body. Once the fat is being mobilized it can be taken in by the cells and burned for energy. Typically people can comfortably go about their usual occupations on a diet of only 500 calories and lose an average of about one pound per day. The daily administration of hCG appeared to have no side-effects other than beneficial ones.

Why such a limited diet?

The diet is limited because it is designed to remove common food allergens along with keeping people from eating more than 500 calories a day. It is understood that food allergies increase inflammation in a person’s body and can make it difficult to lose weight.

Why the sauna?

The far infrared sauna is a great way to increase the body’s core temperature, assist the body’s metabolism, and support the mitochondrial function to burn fat.

Will I be really tired or hungry during the program?

Many people who partake in the program do not feel hungry and often have more energy during the diet because with the limited intake of calories your body will spend less energy digesting food.

Who should consider it?

Those who have struggled with diets before, are looking to lose over 20 lbs, or are interested in dropping weight quickly yet safely.

Who shouldn’t?

Although a Bodhi physician will determine your ability to begin this program based on your initial consultation there are some who should most definitely not consider this program. Cancer patients, pregnant women, those who want to lose less then 8 pounds, and diabetics are a few of those who fit this category.

What is different about the Bodhi hCG Program?

Our program is all-inclusive, combining the therapies and supplements, which means a comprehensive program to ensure the most superior outcome for our patients. There is no up selling in our program, just results.
