Everyday patients come to us sick and tired, of being ‘sick and tired!’ Their bodies operating on three cylinders, they feel a lack of energy, unmotivated, and stuck in a rut. With Dr. Knighton these same patients not ONLY LOSE WEIGHT, but they discover new energy, a more positive outlook, and two-to-three-times as many smiles!

Not a ‘Get-Fit-Quick’ scheme
Dr. Knighton encourages patients to set clear goals and to get all the help they can from: Good diet, exercise, and adequate sleep…But also realizes that these only go so far with our busy lifestyles and being stuck sitting behind a desk most of the day. So instead of being frustrated from battling those extra pounds and inches, Dr. Knighton uses all the help of modern science and prescription supplementation to both accelerate and alter the body’s metabolism and chemistry. THIS powerful combination of office visits, herbal supplements, prescription medication, and lifestyle changes COMBINED (and all customized specifically to your needs and condition) have amazing results; helping you attain your health and weight loss goals.

Some of the herbal supplements and medications used in our practice and possibly in your treatment, include:

This is a natural supplement that is used to better balance the body’s serotonin levels. Our bodies convert 5-HTP into Serotonin, and it is the enzyme that keeps us from craving various foods, mainly salts and sweets as well as allowing us to feel satisfied with smaller portions. 5-HTP is recommended for most of our patients to help cover cravings and in-between meal snacking.
Side effects may include nausea if meals are skipped.

NOTE: In most cases I start each patient on phentermine in the morning and 5-HTP to be taken before dinner. I use this as a starting point and may add additional medication as we go throughout the program. I certainly recommend the use of the supplements described below.

VITAMIN B-12/B-6 Injections
We offer B-12 and B-6 combination injections at $19 per injection that I recommend patients receive in addition to other medications. We effectively utilize a combination B-12 and B-6 injectable solution to increase energy, enhance weight loss and burn carbohydrates more efficiently. I recommend weekly injections for the first month and then every other week thereafter. Injectable B-12 and B-6 has shown to be the cheapest and best way to supplement these essential vitamins.

EXPERIENCE for DIGESTIVE REGULARITY and MULTIVITAMINS
EXPERIENCE is a revolutionary product. Most people that battle weight also battle constipation. This indicates that the metabolism is so slow that the body WILL NOT eliminate properly. If you have any difficulties with regularity, this product will be a must in the program and will help maintain your weight when you have completed the program. There is no question that we need multivitamins, but we need these supplements to be easily absorbed, natural and effective. This is why I also recommend liquid DAILY COMPLETE.

DAILY COMPLETE MULTIVITAMIN
If you want to reach your goals and be able to maintain them, then these multivitamins are crucial to your success.

Publishing these medications and supplements is in no way a recommendation for any patient to purchase or self-administer any drug or herb. All of these products work together, under a doctor’s strict oversight, to produce safe, effective results.

You should also know that some of these same supplements are cheaper through Dr. Knighton and a prescription than if you went to your local health foods store and bought them over the counter! So lose weight the fast, safe way! Under the guidance of a certified doctor (specialist) who knows you and your medical history, and then tracks your condition and progress.

And our promise is to:
Work with each patient individually to customize a program consisting of any or all of the following:
1. Appropriate eating guidelines – not a fad diet. I prefer the eating guidelines found in The South Beach Diet.

2. Medications

3. Correct Vitamins and Supplements

4. Exercise recommendations according to your needs (Walking, biking, swimming, weights, yoga, etc.).

5. Ongoing communication and monitoring/accountability
6. Labwork, if necessary… AND SUCCESS!!!!!!
