Weight Management and Metabolism
Biologic therapies aid in weight management by enhancing metabolic efficiency, reducing inflammation, and restoring mitochondrial function. By promoting tissue regeneration and hormonal balance, they address the root causes of metabolic disorders.
Common Conditions Treated
- Obesity: Chronic weight gain impacting health.
- Metabolic Syndrome: A cluster of conditions including insulin resistance and hypertension.
- Chronic Inflammation: Contributing to metabolic dysregulation.
- Age-Related Metabolic Decline: Reduced metabolic rate due to aging.
Role of Stem Cells and Mitochondria
- Stem cells rejuvenate adipose (fat) and muscle tissues, enhancing mitochondrial function and energy efficiency. Improved mitochondrial health helps cells burn calories more effectively, promoting weight loss.
Treatment Modalities
- Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Therapy: Targets metabolic dysfunction and reduces inflammation.
- Exosome Therapy: Enhances mitochondrial function and energy metabolism.
- Hormonal Optimization: Combined biologics support insulin sensitivity and thyroid function.
Procedure Overview
Patient Selection:
- Ideal Candidates: Individuals with obesity or metabolic dysfunction unresponsive to diet and exercise.
- Contraindications: Untreated endocrine disorders or active infections.
Preparation:
- Metabolic Testing: Assess basal metabolic rate and insulin sensitivity.
- Informed Consent: Discuss goals, risks, and long-term strategies.
Administration:
- IV Infusion: Delivers systemic support for metabolic health.
- Targeted Injections: Biologics administered to specific tissues (e.g., abdominal fat).
Post-Treatment Care:
- Recommend a tailored exercise and nutrition plan to complement therapy.
- Regular follow-ups to measure metabolic improvements.
