Medical Weight Loss:

"The Ashworth Weigh: Shakes & Solids" Advanced Weight Loss Programs!

Featuring: Advanced Health System High Nutrition Supplement Shakes

Since the consults for weight loss are free, for those that start treatment the same day as their consult they will receive 2 weeks free of shakes given to them at the end of their program to use as snacks as you continue to adjust to this new, healthy lifestyle! Go to the "Maintenance" page of this site to find out more and watch the video.

Basis for the Programs:

NutriMed shakes are reduced carbohydrate, high protein shakes used in medically supervised weight loss programs (This means a doctor is in the clinic) that are designed and copyrighted by Dr. Ashworth, and range in calorie counts from 800 to 1500 or more per day. The shakes are used in combination with low glycemic index foods (lean meat/seafood, fruits and vegetables) that the patient buys at their grocery store. What calorie count the patient starts at depends on their individual medical issues, and resting metabolic rate as measured by Dr. Ashworth using the Korr Metabolic Rate Analyzer prior to starting the program.

There is a very important reason Dr. Ashworth uses a specific brand of shakes in his programs. The manufacturing process of shakes is critical to the success of their use in a weight loss program. The goal is to prevent loss of lean muscle while dropping the calorie count taken in. Harsh shake supplement manufacturing processes "denature" the nutrients and render them unable to get into the bloodstream to do their job. This is one of the reasons why people who use shakes that are not made specifically for medical weight loss end up in trouble; they use their own lean muscle for protein, drop their metabolic rate and gain their weight back.  All of the shakes used at Ashworth Medical Solutions, P.L. are guaranteed to deliver correct amounts of macro- and micro-nutrients to preserve lean muscle; attain a consistent insulin level allowing the patient to lose quickly yet keep the weight off.

Requirements for starting these programs:

Physician history & physical, Metabolic Rate Measurement, EKG, lab work (CBC, CMP, Cholesterol Panel, TSH). No contraindications present like recent heart attack, strokes etc. Other labs may be needed depending on the patients medical history, symptoms, and difficulty losing weight in the past.

Program Structure:

During the active weight loss phase patients usually consume 2-5 shakes per day, along with a selection of low glycemic index fruits, vegetables, and lean meat or seafoods. Weight loss for this program averages 12-15 pounds per month. Patients are required to drink 8-8 ounce glasses of water per day and walk 4 times per week for at least 30 minutes.

When the patient is 10-15 pounds from their goal they will begin a 2-4 week slow transition. Patients are transitioned off of the shakes while the amount of solid foods they were eating is increased. This "Transition Phase" places emphasis on healthy, lifelong eating and activity patterns.

At the end of the transition the patients' resting metabolic rate is measured again at their new lower weight. This will help the patient understand that their metabolic rate is normal, and that they will be able to keep off the weight they have lost. They will then receive a maintenance program that is individualized and based on the history of their weight loss with Dr. Ashworth. 

The prices for these programs have been lowered with the economy being in such a slump.  The idea is to make the programs affordable to as many people as possible.  Every program is truly individualized. This is the primary reason the prices for the weight loss programs are not listed. Some use 2 shakes, some use 5 shakes, one patient wants to visit me every week and the next only every other week. One patient may have a myriad of medical problems and has to come every week and use 5 shakes per day, which is one price while the next does not and decides to not use any shakes. So as you can see listing all the prices is impossible.  But you can be assured that whatever you spend will NOT be wasted. Scheduling a free consult is the best way to determine what you will be paying, and be assured there are no high pressure sales tactics. I absolutely do not want ANYONE that has to be convinced to lose weight. We will talk about your goals and you will have a sheet of pricing and all the fees that are applicable to you at that time. If you want to start then great, if you don't then you can go think about it or go try some place cheaper where you will "get what you pay for" as the saying goes. But I'll still be here and we can get started when you are ready.

Longevity ENERGY Max - Plus:

This is also a high potency source of B12.  This route of administeration, an intramuscular injection assures no breakdown of the B12 by the liver. The cost of this injection is only $10.00/injection.

HSL/MIC Injection:

This injection offers the benefit of extra breakdown of fatty tissue through the stimulation of Hormone Sensitive Lipase, which is the enzyme that breaks down triglycerides to form free fatty acids inside of fat cells, that then get burned with exercise. It also offers increased insulin sensitivity with the addition of methionine, inositol, and choline.  This is one of the most popular injections at Ashworth Medical Solutions, P.L. during the active weight loss process.

HSL-Metabolic AcceleratorTM Capsules: This is offered as an oral vegetable capsule to be used 2-3 times per day.  This also speeds up, even doubling the amount of weight loss one can expect to lose when following the program and exercising. The idea is to take atleast two of the capsules one hour before each exercise session.  But to make sure to continue to take two capsules even on the days you do not exercise.
