Lose Weight with HCG!
Are you looking for a quick way to lose weight? HCG diet in Jacksonville Beach can help you lose weight in no time. In fact, you can lose up to a pound of body weight per day. HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is an all-natural human hormone. At the Thin Centers, you can start your own HCG program and help your body burn more fat and shed excess pounds.
The HCG diet was created by Dr. Simeon more than 50 years ago. It involves either the self-injection of HCG or placing HCG under the tongue. HCG has a lot of positive effects. It increases energy without getting nervous. It also promotes fat loss at the waist and hips. HCG improves a person’s mood and improves sleeping.
Although men and women who want to control their weight can safely use HCG, it does have some potential negative side effects. Then again, these side effects are mild and do not bother the majority of people who are in the program. If you are interested in losing weight with the help of HCG, it is best that you work with a qualified and experienced doctor to make the most out of the program and to ensure your safety.
At the Thin Centers, your safety is our priority. We will monitor your health by checking your weight and your blood pressure regularly. You will also have a personal health counselor who will answer whatever questions you have while you are on the program.
For more information on the HCG diet and how you can lose weight, contact the Thin Centers at 904-694-0992 today!

Botox is effective in improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Crow’s feet around the eyes can be treated with Botox too. Skin that is aged and damaged will look fresh and young after Botox injections. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles that are injected.

A Quick Look on Reversing Aging Via Bioidentical Hormones
A woman’s life is interspersed with several changes — from the start of the menstrual cycle to giving birth to menopause. Although the symptoms of menopause are often seen on a negative light such as hot flashes, night sweats and irritability, it should be noted that menopause itself is not a disease but a part of a cycle. Here at our practice, we have helped a lot of women cope with menopausal symptoms and reverse the effects of aging at the same time.
So What Exactly is the Goal of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
During menopause, your body tends to produce less of the hormones it used to supply in abundance, such as estrogen and progesterone. Apart from the common signs of menopause, reduced levels of these hormones may also make you suddenly appear older than you were before — from wrinkles to fine lines to sagging cheeks. This is where bioidentical hormone therapy can help!
The main goal of such replacement therapy is to provide your body with a sufficient supply of the deficient hormones that is molecularly identical to what your body used to produce. Consequently, you will notice that certain physical and physiological changes are positively restored after therapy.
Your Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Each woman is unique — the dosing and frequency of each therapy is dependent of your current state of health and results of your laboratory blood tests. Hence the need for you to visit us for an initial consultation! In addition, if you’re a man and would want to reverse the effects of aging through bioidentical hormones, you are certainly welcome to visit us too! Call us at 904.694.0992 to schedule an initial consultation today. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Bio-identical Hormones: Why Different from Synthetic?
Bio-identical hormones in Jacksonville, FL can relieve the symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances for both men and women. Hormones are chemical substances naturally produced by the cells of our bodies. These chemical substances play a very significant role in our body and an insufficiency could lead to hormonal imbalance.
There are hormonal changes in our body during our life stages that begin at our birth and continue until our adulthood. As we age, it is common to experience some depletion in the body’s natural production of these needed hormones. It is during this stage that it is very crucial to regulate or replace the needed hormones so the body can function normally. That is why hormone replacement therapy came into play– to provide us relief in the symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
There are two types of hormones used in hormone replacement therapy: Synthetic hormones and Bio-identical hormones. Bio-identical hormones are the type of hormones provided by Dr. Anthony Capasso of Thin Centers. The reasons this type of hormone is more suitable than the synthetic hormones are listed below:
- Naturally derived
- Same molecular structures as our body hormones
- No likelihood for cancers and heart disease
Bio-identical hormones can be easily recognized by our body because their chemical structure is very identical to the natural hormones that our body produces. Synthetic hormones are commonly known to produce very unhealthy side effects since they are not identical to the hormones naturally produced in our body.
Call (904) 694-0992 to schedule a Hormone Evaluation with Dr. Capasso’s office at Thin Centers.

Stop Being Hormonal!
We often hear women blaming their irrational and sometimes inexplicable behaviour to hormones. Believe it or not, hormones play a vital role in the functions of the human body systems and many unusual changes in your body can be attributed to the change in the hormone balance in your body.
For women, the symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness, and mood changes occur even before menopause starts. So women endure all of these symptoms longer than we think they would. So guys, give these lovely women a break! Aside from these symptoms, the decrease in the level of estrogen during menopause may result in significant bone loss that may lead to osteoporosis that makes the bone prone to breaking.
Our hormone balancing program will address all these symptoms brought about the change in the hormone levels in a woman’s body. Estrogen Replacement Therapy is the key to minimizing the effects brought about by menopause and preventing bone loss and osteoporosis. Through the various hormone replacement treatments we have available we are also able to prevent other medical conditions that are associated with hormonal imbalance like heart disease and dementia. I have read a study saying that women who did not receive hormone replacements are more at risk for coronary heart disease, premature death, parkinsonism, anxiety, depression, and concerns on sexual function. Through hormone balancing, we improve our patient’s way of life and help them go through their prime years with ease and comfort.
Call us today at 904-694-0992 and schedule a consultation with Dr. Capasso to learn more about hormone balancing for women and how it can benefit you.
