MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC
According to the American Heart Association, losing weight can lead to a higher quality-of-life. Whether you have an underlying health condition like hypothyroidism, age-related hormone imbalances, or other weight inducing problems, AgeRejuvenation can provide you with a personalized medical weight loss solution to jump start your weight loss journey.
From professional body composition consultations to FDA-approved weight loss treatments, our medical weight loss program is built around your body and your personal needs. All patients are provided with their own weight loss support team, which includes a medical practitioner, patient care coordinator, and nutritionist.
With AgeRejuvenation, you can achieve your goal weight and live a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
OUR COMMITMENT TO LONG-TERM RESULTS
The goal of our medical weight loss program is to help you lose weight. In order to give your body the lasting results it deserves, our programs provide you with the tools and resources you need to change deep-rooted lifestyle patterns that may be inhibiting long-term weight loss.
While traditional dieting may promote unhealthy fads that provide faulty, short-term results, our weight loss program will design a custom nutrition plan that is personalized to YOUR body.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WEIGHT LOSS ADDRESSES UNDERLYING ISSUES
Furthermore, our team of medical professionals acknowledges that the root of the weight gain can be multi-faceted. In fact, hormone imbalances and other health issues may cause weight issues. That is why we take a holistic approach to achieve long-term results.
To do this, our specialists and in-house nutritionists offer exercise regimens, healthy dietary suggestions, recipes, vitamin injections, hormone replacement treatments (if applicable), and much more
Medical weight loss is a weight management program that allows a medical professional to evaluate and target the main cause of weight gain in a particular patient.
A medical weight loss specialist will assess:
What causes a patient to experience weight gain
Why they struggle to reduce their weight
How they can safely and effectively lose weight
Once the underlying problem is uncovered, the specialist will work with a nutritionist to create an exercise regimen and nutritious diet plan, as well as recommend any additional supplementation to help the patient lose weight without the use of surgery. The goal of medical weight loss is to help the patient achieve and maintain a long-term healthy body.
BENEFITS OF MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
First, medical weight loss is non-surgical and helps you take control of your weight-related health concerns. Better yet, health professionals are there to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you are never alone in your weight loss journey. They provide scientifically-based health and exercise recommendations to help you achieve your goals.
Finally, for the duration of your program and in the future to come, you will begin to experience the other notable benefits that go hand in hand with weight loss, including but not limited to, mental clarity, physical aptitude, and lifestyle enhancement.
1. PHYSICAL HEALTH BENEFITS
Medical weight loss markers for physical health include a better Body Mass Index (BMI) score, healthier bones and joints, and even an improved metabolism. Depending on the patient and their individualized program, you can also expect to see newly balanced hormones and improved micronutrient levels, both of which contribute to a more positive overall health status of the body.
2. MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS
Patients typically feel a significant increase in energy, drive, and libido once their medical weight loss journey is complete. Furthermore, if hormone balance is involved, weight loss benefits for mental health can also include better cognition and memory.
3. POSITIVE LIFESTYLE CHANGE
Our weight loss programs at AgeRejuvenation are designed to encourage patients to make positive lifestyle changes for the duration of, and upon the conclusion of, their journey with us. This includes instilling better daily dietary patterns, exploring new exercise routines, and focusing on maintaining optimal health in both the near and far future.
4. BREAKS DOWN STUBBORN FAT
Simply put, our metabolism converts food into energy. It also helps our bodies burn fat and maintain a healthy weight. However, in many cases, our metabolism may slow down as we age and fat will become harder to burn.
Medical weight loss scientifically targets the cause of the metabolic slow-down and allows our medical professionals to create a plan to help you overcome stubborn fat. Whether a hormonal imbalance is at the root of the problem or another hidden medical issue such as hypothyroidism is to blame, medical weigh loss will uncover it.
Even if there are no underlying medical issues involved, our weight loss programs promote accountability and challenge the patient to recognize and overcome any obstacles standing in their way of a better quality of life.
MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS VS. NON-MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
Medical weight loss helps you lose weight without the use of surgery. Along with exercise and nutrition, these programs may include appetite suppressants, vitamin injections, HCG, and other bioidentical hormone therapy.
1. BODY COMPOSITION TESTING
Our bodies are made up of vital nutrients, such as proteins, fats, and minerals. A body composition test breaks down these components, puts them into their designated categories, analyzes their ratios in our body, and examines whether or not we have too much of one group in comparison to another.
For instance, a body composition test might look at our overall percentage of fat compared to our body height and weight. This examination will tell us if and by how much we need to improve our body mass score. When it comes to medical weight loss, the body composition test is the first crucial step to understanding how weight affects our physical wellbeing and exactly how much weight we might need to lose.
2. HCG
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women; however, high levels of this hormone are most commonly found in pregnant women.
For medical weight loss, many patients opt to use this hormone as an aid to achieve their weight loss goals. Here’s how.
HCG allows the body to consume 800-1,000+ calories a day from fat reserves, allowing for a weight loss of .5 lb to 1 lb a day. Since you consume so many calories from your internal fat stores, patients only need to eat very lean proteins, low glycemic fruits, and vegetables.
Men can lose 25-40 lbs in 6 weeks and women can lose 15-25 lbs. Patients follow a 6-week transition diet after the HCG treatment to ensure the weight loss is maintained and both diet and metabolism are properly restored.
3. APPETITE SUPPRESSANTS
Prescription, FDA-approved appetite suppressants are another safe and effective tool used for medical weight loss. If you struggle to maintain a healthy weight because bad cravings and the temptation of snacking kicks in, then appetite suppressants may be an option for you. This medical tool is used to:
Modify eating habits
Control food cravings
Regulate portion sizes
This treatment ensures that your body receives the right nutrition for proper weight loss.
4. VITAMIN INJECTIONS
Vitamins are essential elements that our bodies need to build a strong immune system, reduce inflammation, boost our metabolism, increase our energy, and create a better foundation from the inside-out. Typically, we can get most of our key vitamins from a balanced daily diet.
However, dietary and/or absorption issues may prevent us from reaching optimal nutrient levels. In cases like these, FDA-approved vitamin injections provide our bodies with an enriching boost of these crucial minerals that can help to stimulate healthy weight loss.

Prescription appetite suppressants are a medical tool used to modify eating habits, control cravings, and regulate portion sizes. This treatment ensures that your body receives the proper nutrition it needs for proper weight loss.
How does our appetite suppressant plan work?
Our appetite suppressant nutrition plan is based on portion sizes instead of calorie counting, which focuses on the consumption of sufficient protein, low-glycemic index fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. This treatment allows participants to lose approximately 2-3 lbs a week. Patients will meet with the practitioner monthly for a follow-up visit, consult with a nutritionist, and refill of medication as needed.
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women; however, high levels of this hormone are most commonly found in pregnant women.
HCG allows the body to consume 800-1,000+ calories a day from fat reserves, allowing for a weight loss of .5 lb to 1 lb a day. Since you consume so many calories from your internal fat stores, patients only need to eat very lean proteins, low glycemic fruits, and vegetables.
Men can lose 25-40 lbs in 6 weeks and women can lose 15-25 lbs. Patients follow a 6-week transition diet after the HCG treatment to ensure the weight loss is maintained and diet is restored to a balanced nutrition plan.

I, Michelle McCarthy, graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration BSHCA in 2016 from University of Phoenix. While going to school full time, I was working full time as well, and taking care of my four children as a single mother. During this course of attending school my children are active in sports football, basketball, and baseball. The key to being able to accomplish and graduate with honor is time management. Once I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration , I decided that I wanted to continue to pursue my education. I enrolled at Independence University to start my Masters in Healthcare Administration MHA program and graduated in 2019.
I have always had the passion and drive for helping patients and helping make a difference in their lives. I take pride and enjoy what I do . I strive to provide the best care to our patients and employees with Age Rejuvenation. I ask myself every day what I can do to be better than I was yesterday.
I love working with Age Rejuvenation as our staff and Providers are here to help change people’s lives. Our Providers take the time to listen to our patients concerns/issues they are currently experiencing and help to put together a treatment plan so the patients can start to feel better and rejuvenated overall health. I’ve worked in several healthcare organizations and can say this is by far the best due to what we practice and specialize in. Another reason if it was not for Age Rejuvenation I would not have had some health issues as this would not be caught at a primary care provider. We look more in depth in lab work. Age Rejuvenation stands by what we practice Hormone Replacement therapy and Medical Weight Loss and Sexual Health .
I enjoy going to the beach, traveling , spending time with my children and going to watch and support them during their football, baseball, and basketball games. I’m their number one supporter.
