ABOUT THE INSPIRED HEALTH MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMs
We are passionate about these programs!
Sometimes stress, hormonal changes, toxins, and several other factors can trigger our bodies to store unwanted fat. When done correctly, our HCG and GLP-1 Peptide Weight Loss Programs support the body to release stored fat and allow for a new, lower “set weight” that your body will recognize as normal. You’ll be able to lose the stubborn weight AND keep it off!
As no weight loss program should be used alone to achieve overall health goals, our providers will guide you every step of the way during the program through scheduled visits. They will provide fat burning and energy boosting injections, help answer any questions, and provide the tools you need to lose your stubborn weight. Typical weight loss using the HCG Program in 30 days for women is 15-20 pounds and in men is 20-30 pounds. On average, most people who follow the correct protocol from start to finish will maintain their weight loss for two years and most do well for many years!
For those looking to lose more weight, the GLP-1 Peptide Weight Loss Program may be the best option. Our providers typically start off at lower doses of these peptides to allow the body time to adjust and minimize side effects. Goal weight loss is 1-4 pounds a week and GLP-1’s programs are combined with specific dietary and lifestyle education, monthly follow up appointments with providers, and complete guidance along the way. While we believe it is important to lose weight and achieve weight loss, our main goal is to manage these peptides well for LONG TERM health. When used correctly, these peptides have the ability to reduce inflammation and boost metabolism!
Keys to success:
- Honest and supportive working relationship between the client and practitioner
- Long term healthy lifestyle support in place by the individual
- Consistent exercise, especially strength training
- Mindful eating habits and quality nutrition
- Stress management
- Quality sleep
- Dedication to overall health
- Morning sun to regulate cellular health and hormones
- Less screen time to promote healthy satiety hormones
- Knowledge of the foods that cause YOUR body inflammation >> working with a Functional Medicine provider to interpret your Cyrex Arrays 3, 4, and 10 is extremely helpful for long term success
We look forward to joining you on your weight loss journey! After all, why feel good when you can feel GREAT!

HCG Patient Transformation Story
In the past I have said that I don’t do diets; I don’t use drugs for weight loss; and I don’t have a problem with the way I look. I had been overweight for decades. Dr. Weintrob helped me solve many of my health-related issues with hormones, gut, and menopause, but when it came to my diet, I was noncompliant. My weight kept climbing. Dr Weintrob suggested I meet with Michelle Hirschy-Baker to discuss the HCG medical weight loss option.
I made the decision to do it. I had to quiet the shame gremlins and mute the judgements and just do it. If I wanted this to work I had to follow the protocol to the letter. It wasn’t easy, but I had excellent guidance. Michelle answered every question I had and was there every step of the way.
Every morning I stepped on the scale and marveled at the fact that another pound was gone. The majority of the fat came off my stomach. I now have a waistline. The real benefit was that I became very aware of how and why I eat. This happened during the Stabilization phase when I started adding foods back into my diet. By taking it slow and paying attention, I realized much of what I craved was the concept of comfort food, like bacon and mac and cheese. By working through this process I was able to finally give up dairy, which has been recommended to me for years.
Having food decisions thought out in advance has freed up time and mental space for me. I have a long way to go. I started this journey at 261 lbs with a BMI of 41. Today I am down 24lbs and still losing. I am committed to a two-year plan to lose 100 lbs. I started this plan with fear and trepidation. Today I proudly walk this path knowing I can do it and the rewards are greater than anything money can buy.

how the programs work
How the HCG Weight Loss Program Works
Typical weight loss diets will first burn off the structural fat (support for keeping face youthful/full, providing cushioning to the bodies organs/tissues/structures) and then move to burn reserve fat (normal fat stores available to the body as a fuel source in times of increased nutritional demand or calorie deficit). This leaves behind the abnormal fat. For obvious reasons, this is very frustrating for those struggling to lose weight.
The Inspired Health Medical Weight Loss HCG diet is comprised of eating a very low calorie diet (500 calories/day) with daily subcutaneous (into the fat) injections for 21 days. The needle and amount of the weight loss solution is very small, so injections are painless! You will also be given a detoxifying energy injection at each appointment to support your body through this process. Next, there are 21 days of “stabilization” allowing the body the time it needs to adjust as calories are slowly increased. A final maintenance appointment will discuss what nutrition looks like moving forward in order to help successfully keep the weight off.
The length beyond the minimum 21 days is determined by weight loss goals. If needed, more than one cycle can be done with a minimum of a 6 week break between cycles. The break is to prevent the body from becoming “immune” to the powerful weight loss effects of the program.
- Typical weight loss per month for women is 15-20 lbs and for men is 20-30 lbs!
- Fat stores toxins so as it is removed from your body- you will also have the added benefit of detoxing!
On average, most people who follow the correct protocol from start to finish will maintain their weight loss for 2 years and most do well for many years!
Contraindications to the HCG Program:
- Gallbladder Stones or Sludge
- Liver Disease
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Current Cancer that is NOT in remission
How the GLP-1 Peptide Weight Loss Program Works
GLP-1 peptides are made up of amino acids that decrease blood sugar levels and regulate insulin. The injectable peptide given as a once weekly injection also mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that we naturally produce in our intestines. When you inject the peptide, it suppresses your appetite and makes you feel fuller faster. The GLP-1 peptide increases your metabolism and reduces cravings. It also activates neurons in the part of the brain, hypothalamus, the part responsible for satiety and hunger. Overall decrease in inflammation occurs and many other benefits are often seen!
The Inspired Health Medical Weight Loss Program using GLP-1 peptides is comprised of a weekly injection into the body fat, therefore it is painless. Dosage and any adjustments will be discussed individually. We will see you weekly for the first month after you start the program, and once a month thereafter and of course as needed along the way. How long you will be on this peptide depends on individual weight loss goals but the dose will be increased incrementally up as directed and then tapered down to cessation. Supplements will also likely be recommended to help maintain the weight loss along with continued healthy lifestyle habits.
Contraindications to the GLP-1 Peptide Program:
- Gallbladder Stones or Sludge
- Liver Disease
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Current Cancer that is NOT in remission
