Process

The Simeons hCG protocol is medically supervised by our team of lboard certified nurse practitioners and medical assistants.

The orientation will last aproximatley one hour.  After the orientation you will have your blood drawn.   The blood tests will be performed to rule out any conditions that would disqualify you from the program or require any prior treatment before starting the program. 

After the orientation and your blood is drawn you will schedule a physical exam for the next avaiable appointment. After your physical you will receive your first injection of hCG and be instructed on how to give yourself the injections.  If you would like to bring someone with you to perform the injections you are welcome to do so.

You will then come in every two weeks for a check up during your 23 or 40 protocol.  During these visits we will teach you about proper nutrition as it relates to the protocol.

Because we are committed to enabling our patients to obtain and maintain health and wellness naturally, and the services provided by our office are based upon a natural and preventative approach, it is rare that this program is covered by insurance companies. Weight loss, in general, is rarely covered by insurance companies. For this reason, we do not accept or bill insurance for this program. Once labs are done, the physical is performed, and the treatment is started, we cannot honor any refund requests based on scheduling conflicts, missed doses, unsatisfactory results, etc.

 Frequently Ask Questions

Q.        How long do I have to wait between protocols?

A.       You must wait at least 6 weeks from the last injection.

Q.        Can I spread out my meals into snacks?

A.       According to Simons protocol “The fruit or the [starch] may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner,…” This means that you may break up the meals, such as eating the starch and/or fruit between meals or at bedtime.  You may not eat the two starches or the two fruits from each meal together. Each item eaten counts as one of your eight items and cannot be eaten with the meal.

Q.        Where can I get the crackers on the food list?

A.       Ryvita Crispbread – Amazon.com

Stone Ground Wheat Thins – Amazon.com

Melba Toast – Any grocery store

Kavli Crispbread – Amazon.com

Q.        Can I eat turkey, Salmon, or halibut?

A.       No, these fish all have a high fat content.

A.       Any over-the-counter pain reliever may be taken.

Q.        Where can I get more info on life after HCG?

A.       Please contact our office for eating guidelines.

Q.        How long do I have to skip my injections when I am on my menstrual cycle?

A.       According to the Simeons protocol - “During menstruation no injections are given, but the diet is continued and causes no hardship; yet as soon as the menstruation is over…the injections are resumed at once.” This is typically 5 days.

Q.        What kind of lotion can I use while on HCG?

A.       We have found that Ucerin can be used as it is mineral oil based.  According to Simons protocol “Many women whose skin has in the course of years become adjusted to the use of fat containing cosmetics find that their skin gets dry as soon as they stop using them. In such cases we permit the use of plain mineral oil, which has no nutritional value.”

Q.        What happens if I am on a plateau for more than three days?

A.       Please contact our office to speak to a medical assistant for a solution.

Q.        What happens if I gain weight?

A.       Please evaluate what you have been eating and refer to the diet foods to make sure you aren’t overeating or eating the wrong foods.  Please note, if you are using different medications, are sick, or are on your menstrual cycle you may gain weight.  Please contact our office to speak with a medical assistant for assistance.
