We offer a common sense, sustainable approach to manage weight and promote a healthy long-term lifestyle
Dr. Mirman believes that for most people, weight loss is not possible without adequate appetite suppression. He also maintains that to be effective in weight loss patients must learn how to determine the energy value of the food they eat and limit it to the agreed upon caloric intake.
The NeuroResearch protocol (NRP) involves taking natural, drug-free supplements as “medicine”. These supplements are an incredibly effective appetite suppressant and have allowed countless patients to curb their appetites and lose weight.
Here are a few examples of patients who have used the program:
- Dr. Mirman has personally been on these supplements for more than 20 years to keep my weight at a level suitable for appearances on the beach and to keep him from “foraging for food”. Even after all these years he finds that if I forget a dose, I start “looking for food”.
- A 45-year-old woman in our practice lost 43 lbs. going from 223 to 180. She told Dr. Mirman that the weight loss was fairly easy which was great to hear. However, she quit the program because her clothes didn’t fit anymore, and she did not want to buy a whole new wardrobe. Go figure!
- A 40-year-old woman was on the program last year and lost 20 lbs. (245 to 225lb), then stopped taking the supplements. Her loss stopped but she was able to maintain it. She decided to come and resume the program with a goal weight of 160 lbs. One week after she resumed the program, she was still slightly hungry but lost 7 lbs. As she continues in the program, she can expect 1-2 lbs. per week of weight loss which will be fat loss. We usually see the full effect of each supplement dose within a week, and most people respond to level 1, 2 or 3.
- A 60-year-old man lost 35 lbs. in five months going from 215 lbs. to 180 lbs. in 5 months. He is satisfied with his progress and is continuing to stay on the program.
- A 57-year-old woman came to see Dr. Mirman and started with the supplements. She went from 240 lbs. to 147 lbs. in about a year. When she stopped the active phase of the program, it was suggested that she continue on the supplements. She did not and never came back for a follow-up. Dr. Mirman saw her in public a couple of years later, and unfortunately, she was significantly heavier than when she started.
Psychology is a factor in weight loss. Many people have certain psychological issues which make us eat.
If a patient truly wants to improve their weight, any underlying emotional state that could impede the progress needs to be addressed in more ways than just taking the supplements. Dr. Mirman often recommends medical cannabis to help ease any underlying emotions that may get in the way. Occasionally as part of the program, Dr. Mirman suggests that a psychologist may need to be involved.
In conclusion, weight loss is complicated. It is different for every person. Our Weight Loss Management Program is successful because Dr. Mirman takes the time to listen to each patient and come up with the best suggestions for their circumstances, and he is always available to answer any questions patients might have.
