hCG Weight Loss & hCG Injections
Structured, medically supervised hCG programs for patients who do well with a clear plan, close follow-up and a provider who knows the protocol inside and out.
A structured protocol with close medical oversight
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone the body makes naturally. hCG weight loss programs pair hCG with a carefully structured, reduced-calorie eating plan and frequent check-ins.
It's important to know that hCG is not FDA-approved for weight loss, and research has not shown that hCG itself causes weight loss beyond what the diet produces. Some patients still like the structure and accountability these programs offer. Your provider will give you an honest assessment and go over every option, including GLP-1 medications.
hCG injections are also used for other purposes, including as part of some men's health and TRT protocols.

Frequently asked questions
Is hCG safe?
Very low-calorie diets carry risks such as gallstones, electrolyte problems and muscle loss. That's why any hCG program should be medically supervised, as ours are.
How is hCG different from semaglutide?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved for weight management and have strong clinical evidence behind them. Many patients who ask about hCG end up choosing a GLP-1 program after their consult.
Do you offer hCG for men's health?
Yes. hCG injections may be part of a testosterone therapy plan. See our TRT pages for more information.
