What is nutritional blood testing?

Nutritional blood testing shows Dr. Jackson where a patient may be lacking when it comes to specific vitamins and minerals. Women especially can be deficient in iron and Vitamin B12. Nutritional blood testing can be used to help Dr. Jackson detect deficiencies and provide her with the information she needs to create a diet or nutritional health plan that ensures the patient will get the nutrients they need through their diet or by adding a vitamin/mineral supplement. SpectraCell Micronutrient testing provides information on 35 of the most important vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants the body requires for optimum health. Uncovering deficiencies early helps prevent possible health conditions from developing.

What is medically supervised weight loss and how does it pertain to wellness programs?

A medically supervised weight loss program is created by the doctor for each patient on an individual basis. After a thorough physical examination, the doctor will determine what health conditions a patient has and how they’ll impact their weight loss goals. Once the doctor knows the patient's true state of health, she can create a weight loss program tailored to the patient's unique needs. This includes an in-depth diet plan, exercise program, nutritional counseling and visits with the doctor that will provide the patient with the resources they need to create long-lasting, positive lifestyle changes.

How can Dr. Jackson help me achieve my weight loss goals?

Advanced Urogynecology offers an array of natural products to aid the patient on their weight loss journey. The products can be used alone or with the practice’s weight loss programs. Some of the natural products Advanced Urogynecology offers are:

• Cell Press - Helps with portion control by leaving patients feeling full
• Calcium Pyruvate - Burns fat into energy without leaving patients feeling jittery
• Vitamin B12 - A natural “energy” vitamin that also provides a diuretic effect
• Multivitamins - Contains minerals that benefit patient’s overall health
• Phentermine - Powerful appetite suppressant that increases energy and metabolism

The practice can also tailor a program to suit the individual needs of the patient. Some patients may choose to just take Advanced Urogynecology’s natural supplements along with their regular healthy diet and exercise routine to lose weight. The practice also offers a hCg diet program. This program uses hCg, a natural human hormone, to reset the hypothalamus. When the hypothalamus is switched off, patients lose anywhere from ½ a pound to 1 pound a day. This program is intense but extremely successful and helps patients keep the weight off.
