Weight Management.

Managing your weight is an almost universal challenge, for which there are no easy answers. If you need help with weight management, Denise Bogard, MD, FAARFM, ABAARM, of Well Aging Med in Roseville, California, can help. Dr. Bogard is an experienced internist and integrative functional medicine physician who provides comprehensive weight management services. Call Well Aging Med today to schedule a weight management consultation.

Weight management is all about sustaining a healthy weight for your size without being underweight or overweight. Although some people do have problems with being underweight, the overwhelming majority of people with weight problems are overweight or obese.

Being overweight puts a huge strain on every part of your body, and is a leading cause of serious, potentially life-threatening conditions like heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. Being overweight or obese can also make you feel miserable, as you can’t enjoy life to the fullest.

If you need help with weight management, Dr. Bogard offers medically managed weight loss programs and healthy products and services, including nutrition counseling, the ProLon® meal replacement kit, Vitamin B12 skinny injections, and Alma™ laser fat reduction sessions. She can also test your hormone levels to see if an imbalance is impeding your weight loss efforts.

  • The Lean Machine is our widely popular weight loss protocol that involves a once weekly injectable compounded formulation combined with oral supplementation to optimize rapid and sustainable weight loss and reset the metabolism in a 3 month plan. You can also mix-and-match services to create a personalized program to fit your needs.

    You do not need to be an established patient with Dr. Bogard to take advantage of this incredible program and you can schedule a free consultation if you are unsure if this is the right fit for you.

  • Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient that can help you lose weight. The other active ingredient in skinny injections is methionine inositol choline (MIC), which contains fat-burning substances. Together these ingredients magnify each other’s effects, making it far easier for you to lose weight.

    You have two skinny injections a week at Well Aging Med while you’re on a weight loss program.

    Body contouring isn’t an alternative to healthy weight loss, but it is a great way of refining your contours and figure after achieving a healthy weight. People often find they’re left with odd pouches and pads of fat that won’t seem to go away despite your best efforts.

    If you have this problem, a course of Alma treatments at Well Aging Med could give you the finished result you’re looking for. Body contouring is noninvasive, safe, and doesn’t require any downtime. It also causes minimal or no discomfort.

  • Leaner Machine is a serotonin-, noradrenaline-, and dopamine-reuptake inhibitor from the phenyltropane family. By preventing these three neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed by the central nervous system, it helps reduce hunger signals.
    Leaner Machine primarily functions as an appetite suppressant but may also increase resting energy expenditure. It can enhance fat oxidation, supporting weight loss. Through its modulation of dopamine—often referred to as the “happy hormone”—in specific areas of the brain, Leaner Machine may also influence the pleasure associated with food consumption.
    Patients using Leaner Machine have demonstrated the following benefits:● Reduced appetite within 14 days, with increased satiety and decreased desire to eat.● Increased fat oxidation and reduced fat tissue; 24-hour fat oxidation rose by 15%, while protein oxidation decreased, with imaging confirming fat loss compared to placebo.● Improved insulin sensitivity, supporting better glucose metabolism and making it potentially beneficial for individuals at risk of type II diabetes.● A 6% increase in resting energy expenditure after 14 days compared to placebo, directly attributed to Leaner Machine.
    Unlike many weight-loss drugs that target specific organs or hormones, Leaner Machine acts on the brain to reduce food cravings and promote healthier eating habits.

  • Why would I want to use Epicatechin?
    Epicatechin has been shown to be effective in maintaining body composition and muscle mass while in a calorie deficit. Some other benefits of Epicatechin include:

    • Enhance muscle growth
    • Increase strength
    • Improve metabolism
    • Increase nitric oxide production
    • Stimulated muscle protein synthesis
    • Improved insulin sensitivity
    • Lowers cholesterol levels
    • Maximize endurance
    • Appetite suppression

    What is Epicatechin
    Epicatechin is a bioactive compound most commonly found in dark chocolate and green tea. Studies show it positively affects skeletal muscle growth by inhibing myostatin (the protein that limits muscle growth) and enhancing follistatin (the protein that increases muscle mass and strength).

    What you need to know
    It has been shown to improve overall body composition, resulting in a leaner, more toned physique. With little known side effects, it can be used for as long as you like and should be taken on an ongoing basis for best results.
