Weight Loss
Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine provides a comprehensive medical weight loss program to help men and women achieve their health goals. We combine modern and alternative modalities to treat weight issues by addressing the underlying cause, allowing you to reclaim your health.
Various factors such as health conditions, hormonal imbalances, your relationship with food and lifestyle can lead to weight gain. At Yang Institute, we seek to identify these underlying causes of weight gain to build effective treatment plans.
Weight Loss Programs in the Greater Philadelphia Area
We integrate various programs into our treatment plans to help clients of different ages reach their target weight goals. Our practitioners also leverage a personalized approach to achieve optimal results.
Discover our treatment programs below.
Medications
GLP-1 peptide medications for weight loss mimic the naturally occurring GLP-1 hormone in the gastrointestinal tract.
These proven and FDA-approved medications can suppress glucagon, stimulate insulin and reduce hunger, promoting weight loss. We administer glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medications through injections, though some may come in pill form.
Diet and Exercise
We integrate three proven diets into our treatment plan to support your weight loss. Our experts will personalize the diet to match your medical condition and goals.
Our diets include:
- Nutritional ketogenic: This low-carbohydrate and high-fat regimen relies on fat rather than carbohydrates for fuel. Once your body begins to burn stored fat into ketones, you’ll enter a metabolic state called ketosis. This increase in fat burning can encourage weight loss, boost energy levels and enhance mental clarity.
- Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG): This diet introduces you to whole, nutrient-dense foods to promote healthy eating. It also focuses on mindful eating, portion control and routine exercise to encourage effective long-term weight management.
- Intermittent fasting (IF): This eating pattern specifies when to consume meals. It involves cycling between fasting and eating to reap positive health benefits. For instance, the popular 16:8 IF method comprises 16 hours of fasting and eating within 8 hours. Prolonged fasting periods can allow the body to tap into fast stores for energy, leading to weight loss. Our practitioners will monitor your IF process to ensure you conduct it safely and effectively.
- Anti-inflammatory: Dr. Steven Gundry developed this diet to help people minimize inflammation through whole, nutrient-dense foods. It encourages the consumption of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins and healthy fats and cuts out sugar and processed foods to promote weight loss.
We’ll also create a customized exercise regimen for burning fat and toning muscles. It consists of high-intensity interval training, strength training, brisk walking and Pilates.
Vitamin Injection Therapy (VIT)
VIT infuses vitamin B12, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or B12 and Lipo+ into the bloodstream to speed up the body’s metabolism. This increased metabolic rate can promote weight loss and boost energy levels.
We use VIT together with other weight loss treatments to optimize results.
Integrative Support and Lifestyle Coaching
We include acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as supporting therapies to heal the whole person. Acupuncture can improve the flow of Qi in the body to encourage better metabolism for weight loss. It also provides mental and emotional benefits like relaxation. It may address some contributors to weight gain, such as slow metabolism, endocrine disorders and oxidative stress.
Like acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbal medicines can restore energy balance and promote health.
Our lifestyle coaching program guides and educates you to lose and maintain your weight. We provide workout plans and dietary advice to manage a healthy weight in the long term.
