hi, i'm dr. matea polisoto. i'm a naturopathicdoctor and in this video, i'm going to talk about the 10 benefits of lipotropic injections,how they can help you lose weight and keep the weight off. i've been using lipotropic injections forover six years now. i practice primary care, holistic medicine in the los angeles areaworking mostly in the entertainment industry. everyone wants to lose weight and have moreenergy, which is the two main benefits. so number one we'll start with is they help youmetabolize fat. this is due to the lipo part of it. there's two parts of the injections,the lipotropic part, and the b vitamin part. so the lipo part consists of three things:methionine, inositol, and choline. so inositol
and choline, they help the liver metabolizefat. methionine has a whole bunch of other benefitstoo, not just helping with fat metabolism. methionine has six benefits. number one it'san antioxidant, so it helps the body scavenge free radicals or deal with pollution. thisis very important and this makes it be considered also an anti-aging. antioxidants are consideredanti-aging. so number two, it helps with the process ofmethylation. this is an important process in the liver that helps us detoxify chemicals. number three, it also specifically helps detoxifyheavy metals due to its ability to help support the transport of selenium. it helps with brainfunction and it helps mood. because it helps
increase same, which is considered a nutrientthat's been used for depression. it also helps with recycling glutathione, which is anotheranti-aging antioxidant. the fifth thing that methionine does is ithelps decrease histamine. this will help allergies and also lower inflammation. and lastly, ithelps prevent fat build-up in the body. so methionine, inositol, and choline, those arealso called mic or m-i-c, and that's the lipotropic part of the shot. the second half of the shot helps with thenumber two benefit of lipotropic injections, which are increasing metabolism. as you getolder, your metabolism slows down, and this contributes to weight gain. also, when youare generally overweight, people tend to have
slower metabolisms than thinner people. sothat benefit is really important to weight loss to help increase metabolism. that's alsowhy people have more energy when they take the shots. so that's benefit number two. the third benefit is it helps with athleticrecovery, and this is so important. when you work out, if you overdo it one day and thenyou're really sore the next, usually people don't get as good of a workout. so athleticrecovery is really important. in the injections that i use, the b part of it, i use all theb vitamins, not just b12. so i use b1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 12. when the body's under stress,we use up more b vitamins, and therefore, you need all of them.
the other thing is i add chromium and carnitineto the injection. carnitine helps the body metabolize fat and it also helps the bodybuild muscle. amino acids help with body-building and maintaining muscle mass, which is reallyimportant to weight loss. you want to be able to lose fat but keep your muscle. the fourth benefit of lipotropic injectionsis they decrease people's cravings for sugar. we get that feedback a lot, and i think thereason for this is most people are depleted and they don't know it. doctors really don'ttest for nutritional deficiencies. there's one blood test that we sometimes use. it costs$800, so most people don't do it. they actually would prefer to just spend the money on treatmentsinstead. so since nutritional deficiencies
aren't something looked for, we see them fromsymptoms a lot of the times. and so people don't realize they are depleteduntil they actually get an injection, and then all of their symptoms are better. theysleep better, they have more energy, their mood's better. and so they think of it as,"wow, that person must have been depleted." in other words, the amount that we expectour bodies to do, how hard we want to work, how much people travel, how hard they workout, their input of nutrition never equals the output of what they put out on a dailybasis. so that's another reason why the injections are so helpful. and another reason why i think that weightgain is a problem and that cravings are such
a problem. if your body's always deficientin some trace minerals or nutrients, then you will constantly be having cravings andyou'll always want to eat more because you're never quite satisfied with all the vitaminsand nutrients you need. so the fifth benefit is that it improves people'smood. and this is because amino acids, as well as b vitamins, have an important rolein making neurotransmitters, which help send signals in the brain. so when you're low onnutrients, you're low on neurotransmitters, for example, serotonin. you're going to bedepressed, you're going to have trouble sleeping, and you're going to crave carbs and sugarin a very strong way. so this also helps brain chemistry, which is an amazing benefit.
and number six benefit, again, is that itdecreases allergies and inflammation. i have some people that take the shots who are notoverweight who just do it to help control their allergic symptoms. the number seven benefit is that it booststhe immune system. again, when you're depleted and especially you don't have enough b vitamins,that partially, it helps boost the immune system. you'll be subject to having more frequentcolds and infections. so a lot of people report that with the amount that they're travelingand work that they're doing, they are really thrilled that they don't get as many coldsor infections per year. the eighth benefit is i've seen it lower cholesterolbecause it helps the liver. liver's job is
to process, distribute, and bring back intothe liver and distribute cholesterol. and the more we can help the liver, the more ithelps you to lower your cholesterol. so i've seen people have a reduction in cholesterol,and some were even able to get off medication, although i don't advise that individually.but it has to be evaluated from person to person. but it's definitely helped some people'slipid profile. number nine benefit is i've seen hormonalbenefits. i've seen some people that actually the shots helped stop their hot flashes. okay, and number 10, people report that theyhave less water retention. when you have a weight problem, a lot of times, water retentionhas to do with the spleen and the lymphatic
system. when you have a history of eatingjunk foods or really rich fat foods, it slows down the spleen and the lymphatic system,and that makes it difficult to manage your water retention. so lipotropic injectionshave been able to help some people with their water retention. so some people ask, "why not just take a supplement?"well, i like this analogy that imagine you have a health bank account like you have afinancial bank account. many people have great bank accounts, their credit is great, butthey are so stressed and so busy their health takes a back seat. and their health bank accountmay be overdrawn. so every time you take a vitamin, i look at it as maybe putting $25in your bank account. at the end of the day,
are you going to feel rich? not really. but it takes about two months for the effectsof taking vitamins orally to really have a full effect. so after 60 days, you would havewhat, $1,500? okay, you might feel like, "oh, okay, that's something. that's something moresubstantial." well, taking a vitamin injection is like putting $1,000 in your bank account.there's no comparison. it's because you only utilize things as good as your absorptionis in your intestinal tract. the vitamin has to go into the mouth through your intestinaltract, get in the bloodstream, and then processed by your liver. when we take a shot, it goes right in thebloodstream, and the effect is immediate.
so it's immediate energy available for youruse. and when i look at the frequency, the energy you get from the lipotropic injectionlasts two to three days. so you can take the shot up to three times a week. many peoplesay once or twice, but if you're really stressed, you work out a lot, you have a busy and activelifestyle, you can take it that often. it's water-soluble, so it's safe. it doesnot build up in the body. you will just urinate out what you don't need. fat-soluble vitaminsare the ones that can be dangerous. those can build up in the body and they can be toxicto the liver. but those are only taken orally, and as long as you take the correct dose,you should not have a problem. but the b vitamins and the lipotropic injections are water-soluble.
so if you put $1,000 in your bank accounttwo or three times a week, by the end of two months, you'd have $24,000. now, that's somethingyou can get excited about. so that's a little bit of an analogy as to...some people haveheard of it and think the b vitamin craze it's very popular. it's a little crazy. theycouldn't understand why someone would want to deal with a needle. but actually, i use a very skinny needle.i use a 27-gauge needle. a lot of people are using 25, and if you've ever gotten an immunization,it's an even bigger needle i call a harpoon. so i use a tiny needle. it bends. it's almostlike an acupuncture needle. it's so quick and easy, and you don't really feel it, soit's pretty painless. and if you're taking
hcg already, you can combine it. i like toactually put the hcg injection into muscle anyway so i use a 3 ml syringe. you can combineit with the other vitamins, and goes into muscle with a really skinny needle. it makesit really painless and not that much of a big deal. so that's why they're so popular and so beneficial.i think it helps accelerate any weight loss program because all the things you need todo, you need to have energy to work out, you need to recover from your workouts. peoplealso report having better sleep. you need to reduce your cravings, and this is goingto help you on maintenance. i have people that have taken these injections for years.it depends. in the beginning, you might take
them more often when you're really havingintense weight loss goals. and on maintenance, you can reduce them. but depends on how muchstress you're under, how hard you work, and what your lifestyle is. but they're safe andeffective, easy to use. so that's one of the reasons why they're sopopular, because of these 10 benefits and how effective they are. and how long can peopletake them? you really can take them indefinitely because they're water-soluble. so i'm just going to share with you some ofthe feedback that i've gotten from some of my clients. okay, here's an agent in hollywood.he left me a voicemail. "give me my refill. i can do things in the gym that i couldn'tdo before." i have heard that many, many times
from athletes and people that body-build.that, to me, is so exciting. it's so wonderful. i'd love hearing that because athletes, theyfeel their body. they're really in tune and they can tell and they know what's workingfor them. here's another one. "i'm thrilled with myshots. not only have i lost weight but i'm not craving sugars anymore." that's reallyexciting because you put all this effort and energy into a weight loss program and thenyou don't want to just gain it back quickly because all of a sudden you're having tonsof cravings. so that's a really important benefit. okay, this is from a mom. this is from a mom.she bought the mic and she heard about the
allergy benefit. she said, "my sinus problemsare gone. i live near the ocean, and every time the marine layer comes in, my sinusesact up. so with taking the injections, my sinus problems are gone," and she said, "andi have time to keep up with my three-year-old just running around the house and playing."so that was fun, hearing that. i got an email, it said, "i'm thrilled withmy husband's results. he has lost 15 pounds, and his cholesterol has returned to normal.it was elevated, and he was on three different medications. my doctor took him off two ofthe medications, and he didn't even follow a really strict program." so that was amazingto me to see that benefit over time. that was for a six-months program.
okay, another feedback. "not only have i lostweight, but my sleep is better." and i think that's so important because when you go tobed if your body's deficient in vitamins or minerals, your body's in a state of stress.it's in a state of longing. it's in a state of wishing it had all the things that it needs.it's not as able to detoxify and repair and rebuild at night. so it can lead, i believe,that's what causes of some agitation and difficulty sleeping deeper. so the more your body issaturated with all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs, you're going to beable to relax and sleep and rest better at night. here's one from a woman who came in for weightloss and she then told me it's stopped it
her hot flashes. she hadn't even came in forthat. i'm amazed how many women suffer with hot flashes and don't get treated for them.and it's really horrible waking up multiple times in the middle of the night sweating.so it's relatively easy to treat, i use the b shots, but also there's simple herbs thatcould be taken as a liquid, even capsules. that usually resolves it completely withinone to two weeks. here's another feedback. "i tried b-shotsbefore but wasn't impressed. with yours, i felt more energy." and the reason for this,there's three reasons, i think. one, because i use all the b vitamins. a lot of shots justhave b12 in them or they're using cyanocobalamin, which really i've seen produce no energeticbenefit, no increase in energy. i only use
methylcobalamin. it's more expensive but itis more effective, and the effect lasts longer. i also adjust the dose per person and theirlifestyle. a lot of shots, they may only use 1,000 micrograms of b12 or less. i use superconcentrated and i will increase the dose to give the person more energy. so that'sanother reason. it's safe and it really makes a difference. so the way i like to use the shots, the formulai like to use has 11 ingredients. you've got your methionine, inositol, and choline. theni use b1, which is thiamin, b2 riboflavin, b3 niacin, b5 dexpanthenol, b6 paroxetine,and methylcobalamin. some shots use cyanocobalamin. i only use methylcobalamin and then i adjustthe dose. then i also add chromium to help
regulate blood sugar, which is really importantfor sugar cravings. it reduces sugar cravings, also helps you with your blood, stabilizeyour blood sugar. and carnitine, l-carnitine helps the body metabolize fat. so the injections are very safe. the onlything i've seen is if you have high testosterone and you're a woman, sometimes i've seen thecarnitine can bump that up, and so we take that out of the formula. so before peoplestart the injections, i refer them to get a blood test to make sure your liver and kidneysare fine. check their cholesterol and the blood sugar, but i also like to check hormonelevels to see if anything's out of balance and if their testosterone is high. we're goingto treat that and we keep the carnitine out
of the formula. but i've only seen that invery rare occasions. otherwise, i've not seen any problems with the shots, only great feedback. the other difference about the injectionsthat i formulate is that i use procaine in there as a numbing agent. you want a numbingagent so it doesn't sting. i'm amazed that some people don't add this and the shots areuncomfortable. there's no need for them to be uncomfortable. and unfortunately, somecompanies use lidocaine. that's unfortunate because the metabolites of lidocaine are toxicto the body, even though it's a common practice. procaine, the metabolites of it are healingand beneficial to the body and don't have any bad side effects.
so my philosophy with ingredients is use thebest that's available to get the best result. i'm not looking for the cheapest. i want whatever'sgoing to give the best result for my patients. so those are the things that i look for ininjections, as we really need to dig into what's in your formula, what's the dose, makesure you have really great ingredients, and to give you the results that you need. youdo need a doctor's prescription to use the injections, and they should be monitored andfollowed by a doctor. but they're very safe, very effective, and they can really help youaccelerate your weight loss, as well as keep successful on your maintenance program. and i think the reason that b-shots are sohelpful, so powerful, is that today people
are under a tremendous amount of stress, andthey don't realize it because it's just the way life is. people have to work longer hoursto provide for their family. they come home, they want to have energy to play with thekids, or people are working two jobs and they're on the computer at night. and people havea lot they want to accomplish. they might be traveling, which is exhausting. and we don't realize when you're under morestress, you use up more b-vitamins, so the body needs more. greater demands of the body,greater nutrient needs. and so you want to make sure you replenish your health bank account,you keep your body...supply of the nutrients it needs, and then the body will do what itneeds to do.
i'm wishing you great success on your weightloss program. i hope this video gave you insight as to why lipotropic injections are so popular,all the benefits they have, and how they can help you accelerate your weight loss programand keep you on your maintenance goals. and if you have any questions or comments,please send me a message on facebook, follow me on instagram, and send us an email. letme know. i'll be answering the questions on my blog. take care.
