Osteopathic medicine is a “whole person” approach to medicine—treating the entire person rather than just the symptoms. With a focus on preventive health care, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don’t just fight illness, but help prevent it, too.

Yes, you should. More people are overweight today than ever before. In fact, almost 70 percent of Americans aged 20 and older are overweight. And of those, about one third are considered obese. Unfortunately, the problem has become much more common in children, too. Surprisingly, 17 percent of children aged 6-19 are obese, and 10 percent of children aged 2-5. Excess body weight and obesity have been associated with increased risks of developing other medical conditions such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Stroke
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Sleep apnea
• Liver and gallbladder disease
• Some types of cancer, breast, prostate, and colon
• Arthritis
• Gynecological problems
• Physical disability
• Sleep disturbances
• Breathing problems
• Depression

Research has shown that even a 5 to 10 percent loss of the initial body weight can greatly reduce health risks and improve general well being.

There’s no time to waste, let’s get you started today!

Being overweight or obese are both terms for having more body fat than what is considered healthy. Both are used to identify people who are at risk for health problems from having too much body fat. However, the term “obese” generally means a much higher amount of body fat than “overweight.”

Everyone needs some body fat for energy, heat insulation, and other body functions. But having too much can lead to serious health problems. The more body fat you have, the greater your risk for diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, and other problems.

There’s no time to waste, let’s get you started today!

The most common way is to figure out your body mass index (BMI). BMI is a quick and simple way to help identify people who are overweight or obese. It allows you to compare your weight to what is considered “normal” for an adult with your same height. Dr. Fortino will determine your BMI on your first medical evaluation.

Let’s get your started today on a path to better health!

Yes. If your excess weight is mostly around your middle or apple shape, you are more likely to develop health problems than if the weight is around your hips or pear shape. The greater your waist size, the greater your health risk.

Yes. Experts agree that even a modest weight loss can help prevent or control many health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The closer you are to a normal weight, the greater the health benefit.

No, you should not feel hungry. We teach you to eat “real” food without counting calories or points.

Your body breaks carbs into sugars during digestion. Sugar can raise your blood glucose levels, which produce more insulin. This hormone tells your body to store fat instead of burn it. When your body burns good nutrients in place of fat, you feel hungry. This creates a bad cycle that can lead to issues, such as type 2 diabetes. If you eat a low-carb diet, you can reduce your insulin. Doing this can prevent type 2 diabetes, or even reverse the effects if you already have type 2 diabetes. We have been successful in helping many patients with type 2 diabetes.

Multiple regression tells us that on average, for every 8.5 pounds lost, people dropped an inch off their waist. Every 10 pounds lost can be accompanied by 1.18 inches of waistline reduction on average.

In some cases, just a small amount of weight loss can have a significant impact on your health. Even losing only 10 pounds can help you to look and feel better.

A low-carb diet means that you eat fewer carbohydrates and a higher proportion of fat. This can also be called a low-carb, high-fat diet (LCHF) or a keto diet.

For decades we’ve been told that fat is detrimental to our health. Meanwhile low fat diet products, often full of sugar, have flooded supermarket shelves. This has likely been a major mistake, that coincided with the start of the obesity epidemic. While this doesn’t prove causation, it’s clear the low-fat message didn’t prevent the obesity increase, and it is possible it contributed.

Studies now show that there’s no reason to fear natural fats. Instead, on a low-carb diet fat is your friend. Simply minimize your intake of sugar and starches and you can eat all the fat you need to feel satisfied.

When you avoid sugar and starches, your blood sugar tends to stabilize and the levels of the fat-storing hormone insulin drop. This helps increases fat burning and makes you feel more satiated, thereby naturally reducing food intake and promoting weight loss. Studies show that a low-carb diet can make it easier to lose weight and to control your blood sugar, among other benefits.

Let’s get you started today!

The main reason most people start to eat a low-carb diet is that they want to lose weight. People often say that they have tried a lot of different diets and exercises but nothing has worked. At least not for more than a couple of month.

The main reason a low-carb diet is successful for a lot of people is that it’s simple and sustainable. It becomes a lifestyle more than a diet because you can enjoy amazing food and don’t need to count calories or go hungry.

Depending on your current health, lifestyle, and the changes you make once you start, it’s possible to lose several pounds the first week as your body loses water weight. That being said, the recommended weekly rate of weight loss is two -three pounds. Losing weight slowly and steadily ensures your body is losing fat and not lean muscle mass.

Semaglutide is a Glucagon Like Peptide-1 receptor agonist, (GLP-1 RA) used for glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, (T2DM). Semaglutide has been studied for its weight loss effect in patients with and without diabetes by effecting appetite control and gastric emptying.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 is an incretin secretory molecule. Incretins are hormones that help decrease blood glucose levels. Effects of GLP-1 RA include glucose control, body weight loss, protection of islet β cells of the pancreas, promotion of islet β cell multiplication, and minimal side effects of hypoglycemia.

Studies have found that the GLP-1 receptor is widely distributed on pancreatic, lungs, kidneys, central nervous system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and the vagus nerves. When activated, the GLP-1 receptor causes multiple biological effects, such as reducing neuroinflammation, promoting nerve growth, improving heart function, suppressing appetite, delaying gastric emptying, regulating blood lipid metabolism, and reducing fat deposition as well as activating the metabolism of brown fat. Moreover, GLP-1RAs have neuroprotective, anti-infectious, cardiovascular protective, and metabolic regulatory effects.

GLP-1RAs have demonstrated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by decreasing the blood pressure, improving microvascular function, and reducing inflammation. Further, GLP-1RAs play a neuroprotective effect by stimulating the differentiation of nerve cells and inhibiting neuroinflammation and inhibiting liver inflammation.

Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, is known to increase the risk of developing T2MD, hypertension, dyslipidemias, CVDs, fatty liver disease, and other diseases, leading to poor quality of life and increased mortality. Obesity is related to increased appetite, changes in the levels of gastrointestinal hormones, increased fat mass, and disorders of satiety and satiation mechanisms.

Semaglutide has shown to reduce body weight in obese patients that are both diabetic and non-diabetic. It was found that Semaglutide could regulate food preference, as well as reduce food intake and body weight without reducing energy consumption.

Levothyroxine may interfere with blood glucose control and reduce the effectiveness of Semaglutide and other diabetic medications. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely. You may need a dose adjustment of your diabetic medications during and after treatment with levothyroxine.

Beta blockers can reduce your ability to detect if your blood sugar is low

When initiating Semaglutide, monitor blood sugar more aggressively if you are also prescribed insulin or other blood sugar controlling medications for Diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2)

And lastly, research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.

The good news is that our bodies produce glutathione. The bad news is that exposure to pollution, toxins, medications, pesticides, stress, trauma. illness, infections, radiation, ageing and a poor diet all deplete our glutathione levels. A balanced diet, exercise, and Glutathione Booster Shots can help you to maintain optimal levels of glutathione.

Staying healthy, increasing performance, preventing illness & disease, and ageing well, all depend on keeping our glutathione levels high. Let’s say that again. Maintaining optimal levels of glutathione is essential to our health and long term well being.

Glutathione, The Super Antioxidant You’ve Probably Never Heard of until Now! Are you Ready to Take the Shot?

“Super Hero” Antioxidant- Your Skin Will Glow! Hollywood’s Anti-Ageing Secret is Out of the Bag! Glutathione is the “Master Antioxidant” naturally found in human cells which neutralizes free radicals, boosts the immune system and detoxifies the body. When free radicals accumulate, they cause cell and tissue damage leading to wrinkles, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation. Glutathione can help decrease or slow down the ageing process by combating the nasty effects of free radicals and inflammation. Glutathione may also boosts collagen synthesis and collagen production.

Glutathione supplementation has also been known to lighten age or dark spots as well as lighten and even out skin tone by converting melanin to a lighter color and deactivating the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps produce the pigment. A number of personal-care products containing glutathione are marketed for their supposed skin-whitening effects. These products include soaps and creams. However, some people take glutathione supplements for skin-whitening.

Lysine is one of the essential amino acids that the body cannot make and that people need to obtain from dietary sources. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that has been long touted as a fundamental component of a healthy immune system. It’s a vital building block for the proteins in your body, and without it, your body would not be able to function properly. L-Lysine blocks certain amino acids like arginine that are responsible for spreading viruses throughout your body. Its effects are powerful, which is why it’s recently exploded in popularity.

Top 10 L-Lysine Benefits:

• Boosts Your Immune System
• Maintains Lip and Mouth Health
• Reduces Stress Levels
• Stabilizes Mood
• Encourages Collagen Production
• Improves Heart Health
• Boosts Energy Levels
• Increases Bone Density
• Supports a Healthy Gut
• Helps Regulate Blood Sugar

L-lysine, or simply lysine, is one of the building blocks of protein and is essential for maintaining a healthy body and keeping systems functioning at an optimal level. Lysine helps the body repair itself, and deficiency can lead to fatigue, hair loss, muscle soreness, and a decreased immune system. Increasing one’s lysine consumption through diet or supplements can help improve the symptoms of severe chronic conditions. Lysine may help treat cold sores, shingles, and acne.

Studies show that Lysine helps build collagen in the skin. Collagen is the structure responsible for your skin’s elasticity and firmness. Collagen is an essential compound responsible for building cartilage, bones, and connective tissue. Lysine helps in the formation of cartilage and collagen, while also preventing the breakdown and excretion of collagen during digestion. Calcium and collagen function in conjunction with each other to prevent bone loss. In a diet low in lysine, the formation of calcium and collagen slows. This is one reason why many people with lysine deficiencies have fragile bones.

Certain compounds in the body called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are created when protein or fat combine with sugar in the blood. When in excess, they exacerbate cell ageing and deterioration, and people with diabetes have a higher concentration of AGEs. Scientists speculate that higher blood sugar levels may encourage the formation of these proteins, which are implicated in many diabetes-related complications such as nerve, eye, kidney, and heart diseases. Researchers are studying therapies that aim to stop AGEs from collecting in large numbers. Lysine may help reduce the formation of AGEs, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes complications.

In addition to decreasing AGEs, lysine can lower fasting blood glucose levels and reduce inflammation of the pancreas, both of which help people with diabetes manage blood sugar levels. Controlling blood sugar to avoid peaks and valleys allows better symptom management. Although more research is needed, some studies show lysine can increase insulin concentration and secretion; the intake of a lysine-glucose mixture led to more insulin than the absorption of glucose alone.

Lysine can influence the levels of LDL (low density) cholesterol in the bloodstream. LDL cholesterol accumulates around the arteries, leading to hardened artery walls and reduced blood flow. A diet rich in lysine inhibits the build-up of LDL cholesterol and keeps the cardiovascular system working properly. Plaque build-up in the arteries can increase one’s risk of heart disease, stroke, and erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory properties of lysine reduce high blood pressure and help manage hypertension.

Some studies suggest that lysine may help treat clinical anxiety and disorders such as schizophrenia. Especially in the latter, lysine may reduce severe anxiety-like symptoms when added as a supplement to conventional therapy. Based on research studies, it appears that lysine works by lowering the stress hormone cortisol and can be used either alone or in combination with the amino acid arginine. Lysine also shows potential to improve digestive problems triggered by stress, such as diarrhea associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Taurine is an amino acid important in several of the body’s metabolic processes. Taurine is also thought to have antioxidant properties. Taurine is the most abundant sulfur containing amino acid in the cells of our bodies. Amino acids are the “links” that, when connected in long chains, become Proteins! Taurine is involved in many body functions. Taurine is involved in the maintenance of sodium and calcium levels, and in the balance of the brain’s neurotransmitters.

Some studies suggest that taurine supplementation improves athletic performance. Taurine has also been shown to improve exercise capability.

Taurine is found naturally in meat, fish, dairy products and human milk, and it’s also available as a dietary supplement.

Probiotic literally means ‘for life’. Probiotics are living micro-organisms that, when ingested in sufficient numbers, benefit the health of the whole body. Once in our intestines, these natural and friendly bacteria help balance our gut microflora and support our immune system. Probiotics can support health in different ways, such as helping your immune system function properly, aiding in digestion, keeping harmful microorganisms in check, producing vitamins, aiding in nutrient absorption, delaying the development of allergies in children, and treatment and prevention of vaginal and urinary infections in women just to name a few.

Yes, gut bacteria or intestinal flora play an important role in appetite, weight gain, and even metabolism. Certain probiotics may help you lose weight and belly fat. For example, some probiotics prevent the absorption of dietary fat in the intestine. The fat is then excreted through feces rather than stored in the body. Probiotics also help you feel fuller for longer, burn more calories and store less fat. This is partly caused by increasing levels of certain hormones, such as GLP-1. Probiotics may also reduce the number of calories you absorb from food as well as affect levels of hormones and proteins related to appetite and fat storage, as well as potentially reduce inflammation, which can drive obesity.

Testosterone is a hormone found in humans, as well as in other animals. The testicles primarily make testosterone in men. Women’s ovaries also make testosterone, though in much smaller amounts.

The production of testosterone starts to increase significantly during puberty and begins to dip after age 30 or so.

Testosterone is most often associated with sex drive and plays a vital role in sperm production. It also affects bone and muscle mass, the way men store fat in the body, and even red blood cell production. A man’s testosterone levels can also affect his mood.

Low levels of testosterone, also called low T levels, can produce a variety of symptoms in men, including:

• decreased sex drive
• less energy
• weight gain
• feelings of depression
• moodiness
• low self-esteem
• less body hair
• thinner bones

Hypogonadism, in males, refers to a decrease in either testosterone production, sperm production, or both. A failure of the gonads, testes in men and ovaries in women, to function properly. Production of a man’s testosterone and a woman’s estrogen are inhibited. If the onset is before puberty, growth and sexual development may be affected. After puberty, there may be sexual difficulties, reduced fertility, and absence of menstruation. Treatments may include hormone replacement therapy and assisted reproduction. Hypogonadism requires a medical diagnosis.

A simple blood test can determine testosterone levels. There’s a wide range of normal or healthy levels of testosterone circulating in the bloodstream.

The normal range of testosterone for men is between 280 and 1,100 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) for adult males, and between 15 and 70 ng/dL for adult females, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Ranges can vary among different labs, so it’s important to speak with your doctor about your results.

If an adult male’s testosterone levels are below 300 ng/dL, a doctor may do a work up to determine the cause of low testosterone, according to the American Urological Association. Low testosterone levels could be a sign of pituitary gland problems. The pituitary gland sends a signaling hormone to the testicles to produce more testosterone.

A low T test result in an adult man could mean the pituitary gland is not working properly. But a young teen with low testosterone levels might be experiencing delayed puberty.

Abnormally high levels of testosterone could be the result of an adrenal gland disorder, or even cancer of the testes. If your testosterone levels are extremely high, your doctor may order other tests to find out the cause.

Are you a candidate for Low T Treatment? Let’s find out.

Red flag symptoms:

• Low sex drive
• Difficulty with erection
• Low sperm count
• Unexplained loss of hair
• Hot flashes
• Low bone density

Additional signs:

• Testicular atrophy (changes in testes)
• Diminished lean muscle mass
• Increased body fat
• Elevated hemoglobin A1c
• Osteopenia or low trauma bone fracture
• Problems sleeping (insomnia)
• Fatigue
• Difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, depression

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) use is typically considered as males age, and hormone levels naturally decline. TRT is used to optimize hormone levels that have become imbalanced and improve the moderate to severe symptoms often associated with these conditions.

SOME BENEFITS OF TRT INCLUDE:

• Improved sexual desire
• Lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) levels
• Increased muscle mass and strength
• Decreased body fat
• Increased confidence and a more positive mood
• Increased energy levels throughout the day
• Improved Sleep
• Improved ability to handle stress
• Improved brain function and cognitive ability
• Better blood sugar regulation and decreased risk of diabetes
• In addition to the above-indicated improvements, hormone replacement therapy can potentially reduce the risk of diabetes and improve cardiovascular health.

Testosterone therapy is specifically approved to treat abnormally low testosterone levels associated with symptoms and signs caused by low testosterone; a condition known as male hypogonadism. Blood tests determine whether testosterone levels are in the normal range, generally 300 to 1,000 ng/dL, but what’s “normal” may differ depending on the laboratory that conducts the test, according to The Endocrine Society’s Clinical Guidelines. Testosterone levels decline about 1% – 2% each year as men age, the guidelines report.

And some studies estimate that almost 14 million men in the U.S. over the age of 45 have below normal testosterone levels.
