Your primary care doctor plays an important role in your well-being, working as your partner in helping you to stay healthy throughout each stage of life, as well as in diagnosing and treating illnesses and medical conditions that arise. Your primary care doctor works alongside specialists to closely monitor your progress. Over time, you will develop a relationship which leads to better medical care. Your primary will catch small health problems before they become serious issues. Research shows that people who have a primary care doctor actually live longer. They are less likely to die from cancer, heart disease, stroke and many other illnesses.
1. One-Stop Shopping. A primary care doctor knows how to deal with everything from helping you through a bout with the flu to back pain and digestion issues, to uncovering serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease. They can treat almost anything, or get you to a doctor who specializes in certain conditions.
2. Someone Who Knows All About You. Over time, you and your doctor will develop a trusting, personal relationship. You’ll be able to talk about anything that’s bothering you physically, emotionally and spiritually. That’s important as problems in any of these areas can impact your overall health.
3. Coordination of Care. Your primary care doctor helps you navigate the healthcare system. They can:
4. Keeps You Healthy. Your primary care doctor isn’t just interested in you when you’re sick. He or she wants to partner with you on a wellness and prevention plan too. Consider your primary care doctor your best source for information on things like weight management, smoking cessation, help with alcohol and drug use, and managing stress and anxiety.
5. Routine Screenings. Your PCP will do or arrange for screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and more. Many serious illnesses are found during routine physicals, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes. When these illnesses are left untreated they can have severe consequences. Also, many early stage cancers have no symptoms. Detecting cancer early gives you an edge for successful treatment and cure.

The HCG diet uses the power of human chronic gonadotropin along with a low-calorie diet to change your metabolism. Based on the research of Dr. Simeon’s, the HCG diet has been studied extensively over the last 60 years and is safe as long as it is medically supervised. When used combined with a low-calorie diet, HCG injections appear to influence the metabolism, increasing energy expenditures during dieting. This can lead to weight loss in traditional stubborn areas, including the belly, thighs, and chest. Most people can expect to lose around 20 pounds in 40 days.
