I have been overweight my entire life, on and off many diet programs with only temporary success. A few years ago, I had actually lost some weight and had managed to keep it off until COVID hit. I struggled with losing my COVID weight gain on my own until I heard about the Alison Wellness Clinic. I was familiar with Dr. Alison through the Dunagan, Yates and Alison practice, so I had a high level of confidence going into this program.

I have to say that when I was first introduced to the Ideal Protein diet plan, I had reservations, but I was determined to stick it out. I thought I already knew so much about weight loss and nutrition through some online nutrition classes that I had taken, but I learned so much more through this program. With the guidance of my health coaches, I learned that it is not enough just to count calories. You need to take in to account the other nutrition values as well. Most of all, I have finally learned to “listen to my body” and be aware of the difference between real hunger and cravings. After being on Ideal Protein for a year (with some periodic vacation breaks), I feel I have finally discovered the key to maintaining a healthy weight! I have learned how to judge a food by its nutrition values, and what foods are best for me and those that are not as healthy as I had once thought. Also, that it is okay to occasionally splurge on rich foods, but when to pull back. That in itself is the most valuable lesson of all. Now, I love it when people call me “skinny”! Never before in my life would anyone have ever described me that way!

I would highly recommend Alison Wellness Clinic and the Ideal Protein plan to anyone who has struggled with weight loss. It is not magic, and it won’t happen overnight, but if you are determined- you can do it! I would like to thank all the staff, as they are all very knowledgeable and helpful.

GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the small intestine that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, thereby improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels. It reduces the appetite, slows down gastric emptying, and promotes a feeling of fullness.

The Nurse Practitioner will go over the dosing with you. Typically, all patients start with a small dose once weekly and the dosage is increased every four weeks as tolerated. Some patients see great results on a small dose, while others may need to continue to increase to find the dose that is most effective.

I came to the Alison Wellness Clinic because over the course of 7-8 years, I had gained over 50 pounds. I had tried every diet I could think of as well as went to the gym on a regular basis with no results. The diets would work for the first few weeks and then I would just start gaining the weight back again. I knew something would have to work eventually, so after hearing commercials for the Alison Wellness Clinic and looking into what they had to offer, I decided to give them a try.

My experience with Alison Wellness Clinic was one of the best experiences I have ever had. On the day of my consultation, my coach Amy and I decided to go with the Ideal Protein program for my weight loss. I went in thinking it may have been my hormones that were affecting my weight gain, but my coach said that if it was, we would know after about a month on the program. I was very unsure of how it was all going to work and if I would even lose any weight. There was a lot of information to take in all at once and I knew I was really going to have to have a game plan in order to make this program work for me. I ended up making myself a recipe book so that dinners and lunches would be easier for me to plan out. On my first weekly weigh in, I had lost 5.7 lbs, and that was when I knew it was not the hormones and that this was the program for me! The staff was always encouraging no matter what step of the journey I was on. They know how to make you feel welcome when you come in and that you are important to them. I enjoyed every week that I went to weigh in and never missed a week as I was always excited to see what each week’s weigh in would be. I was on the program for 7 ½ months and lost a total of 60lbs and almost 53 lbs of that was fat!

To say I feel better than what I did before I started the program is an understatement. I feel like a completely new person. I am excited to get up every morning and to get dressed. Before I started this journey, I would get up, put my stretchy pants on and a tank top. This is what I would wear just about every day. Blue jeans were no longer comfortable nor were anything that was remotely tight across my stomach. Now I look forward to putting on jeans and seeing what kind of outfits I can come up with. The other thing that I have noticed since this program is that when I do go hang out with friends, I am no longer the person who tries not to be noticed and will not participate in the conversation; I enjoy being part of the conversation and all around just getting out of the house. I have my confidence back and that is all thanks to the staff at Alison Wellness and my coach Amy for being my cheerleaders during my time at the clinic.

I would and do recommend anyone to the Alison Wellness Clinic if they have struggled with their weight and nothing has ever worked. This weight loss program is the REAL deal, you just have to put your mind to it. If you follow it the way that it is taught then you will most definitely succeed!

So many people have asked how I lost weight and why I started at Alison Wellness Clinic. My response is simply “by process of elimination, it was the only diet fad and clinic that I haven’t tried.”

In January, after breaking my all-time high weight (again), I decided that instead of buying bigger clothes (again) that all the clothes already in my closet were going to fit. Just walking in the door of the Alison Wellness Clinic, I realized this is going to be different from all my past diet clinics. The bright cheerful atmosphere was not the typical shameful and dreary diet clinic atmosphere. They even had cute jewelry, pajamas, lipstick, and nail polish for sale.

Within 30 minutes of my initial consult, my emotions went from anxiety and fear of failing (again) to determination and confidence that I could do this. After just a few weeks, I was completely comfortable with my weekly check-ins. Each consultant offered her own unique and valuable perspective. They didn’t ask textbook questions and didn’t recite a training manual, so the weekly check-ins didn’t feel like an interrogation to determine if I strayed from the plan. On the not-so-good weeks, they knew if I needed a hug or if I deserved a kick in the pants. I was back on track before I even left the building.

After 6 months, 65 pounds, and many inches, I had to buy new clothes. My fit-again pants, which were my original goal, are too big. Not only have I lost weight, my vitamins are back in sync, and my energy and mood are better than ever. Until starting the Alison program, I didn’t realize that the past 10 years of “gentle aging” had cumulated into several sources for weight gain. Once my regimen included correcting the sources of the fat, my lifestyle regained productivity and happiness. The weight loss not only became achievable, but exceeded my expectations.

I do not have a picture of those pants that had gotten “a little snug”. Those pants are hiding in the back of a closet shelf, because my focus is my now jeans fitting. My biggest smile is from the picture that my toes photobombed. After 20 years of being a diet circuit pro, for the 1st time I finally completed a diet regimen. So many people have commented and asked how I lost the weight. Some, I only know in passing, like the lady from the school pick-up line and the guy in my work building. As more people noticed me, I realized that I had found a buried treasure, and the Alison Wellness Clinic was like the big black “X” on the map.

People ask if I still go to Alison’s since I finished the diet. My response is simply “Of course, I love that place. I still weight-in, shop, pick-up vitamins, and visit.” Their motto is printed on their wall “What you eat in private, you wear in public” does not leave much too room for excuses. The knowledgeable staff with their bubbly personalities and their amazing products opens endless possibilities for awesome weight-loss and overall healthy improvements.

The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. Most of these side effects can be easily managed with over the counter medications. The risk of serious side effects increases in patients with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and risk of allergic reactions. If you have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or pancreatitis this medication is not recommended for you.

This medication is not an insulin and should not be used if you have Type 1 Diabetes OR if you develop ketoacidosis.

While NAD+ therapy is safe and effective for most people, some individuals should not undergo NAD treatment.

• History of cancer

• History of Liver or Kidney disease

• History of seizure disorders

• Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding mothers

• If having surgery stop taking two weeks before surgical procedure

After quitting smoking a few years back, I gained the dreaded weight. I felt tired and sluggish all the time, but none of the doctors I saw could find any explanation for my symptoms. I tried every weight loss plan imaginable and just could not drop any weight. It was very frustrating for me. After seeing Dr. Alison, he discovered that my hormones were out of balance, and that I was also borderline diabetic.

Going to see Dr. Alison was one of the best things I have ever done! Not only is everything back in balance, but with the weight I have lost, I have managed to reverse the borderline diabetic diagnosis. I feel better than I have in years!!

I would recommend Dr. Alison and his wellness clinic to anyone!! The wellness director, Claire Neighbors Roby and the rest of the staff are equally as helpful as well. Not only does Claire help “coach” you to make the right food and other lifestyle choices that are beneficial to your weight loss goal, she helps you to be more aware of the benefits of an improved general wellness. Claire is your biggest “cheerleader” when you meet or exceed your goals and also a source of great encouragement for you to continue when may not have met your goals. Keep up the great work Dr. Alison and everyone at Alison Wellness Clinic!!!

• Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies. Limit the intake of sugar. Eat more healthy fats and protein in your diet

• Remove processed foods altogether

• Excessive alcohol consumption. Reduce or eliminate alcohol. Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption can help prevent NAD+ depletion

• Get daily sun exposure

After struggling with my weight for more than thirty years, Alison Wellness Clinic provided me with the information, guidance, and encouragement to lose 80 pounds. Throughout the weight loss program , my energy and confidence steadily increased. I am currently training to run a 5K race and am trying a variety of new sports. I feel so empowered. I can’t thank Dr. Alison and his wonderful staff enough for transforming me from a weight loss zero to being my own health hero.

• Improve Energy Production: NAD+ is essential to produce cellular energy. It plays a critical role in the process of converting nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which powers our cells and provides the energy needed for various bodily functions. NAD+ is essential for converting food into energy, a process that occurs in the mitochondria of our cells. By supplementing with NAD+, individuals may experience a significant increase in cellular energy production, leading to improved stamina and reduced feelings of fatigue. This is particularly beneficial for those facing energy lulls due to aging or chronic health conditions.

• Longevity and Anti-Aging Effects:One of the most sought-after benefits of NAD+ is its potential anti-aging effects. NAD+ has proven to have anti-aging properties. It activates certain enzymes called sirtuins (often called longevity genes), which are involved in regulating cellular health and longevity. By enhancing sirtuin activity, NAD+ can help slow down the aging process and promote a healthier, more youthful appearance.

• DNA Repair: DNA gets damaged thousands of times daily. NAD+ plays a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial health, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting DNA repair—essential factors for slowing aging. Inside your mitochondria--those tiny cellular power plants—NAD+ helps convert glucose and fatty acids onto ATP, your body’s energy currency. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. Their main function is to generate the energy needed necessary to power cells. This process powers everything.

• Enhanced Mental Clarity and Cognitive Function: NAD+ supports brain health and cognitive function. It helps protect neurons from damage. Promotes the formation of neural connections, improves memory and learning capabilities. NAD+ works differently, instead of forcing your brain cells to overwork, it increases the amount of energy being converted into cellular energy, which might give your brain cells the power they need to work at their best.

• Improves Physical Recovery and Endurance: Athletes and physically active individuals may find NAD+ particularly beneficial for enhancing athletic performance. Increased NAD+ levels can improve muscle function and endurance, reduce recovery times and support energy metabolism during intense physical activity. This can result in better performance, increased strength and a greater capacity for physical exertion.

• Strengthening Immune Barrier and Inflammation: NAD+ contributes to broader health and wellness, supports the immune system, enhances mood, improves sleep quality and can even aid in managing symptoms of certain chronic conditions. By promoting optimal cellular function and mitigating the decline in NAD+ levels associated with aging offer a foundation for a healthier, more vibrant life.

• Encourage Hair Growth: It's not just your skin that benefits from NAD+. Hair health is also closely linked to NAD+ levels. Hair loss and thinning are common concerns as we age. NAD+ has been found to support the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, which are responsible for generating new hair strands. By promoting the growth and renewal of these stem cells, NAD+ may help counteract hair loss and encourage the formation of new, healthy hair.

• Helps With Weight Management: Several studies have shown that NAD+ supplementation can improve metabolic function and promote weight loss. Scientific research has shown that NAD+ can help with weight loss in many ways:

o Helps to increase hormone level called adiponectin, which regulates metabolism

o Helps to break down fat cells and prevent their re-formation

o Boost the body’s ability to burn calories

Going to Alison Wellness Clinic was one of the best things I have done for myself. The staff was very helpful in guiding me to make the right good choices and lifestyle changes. I can honestly say this is the easiest diet I’ve ever done. I feel better than I ever have! I actually like being in front of the camera now instead of behind it.

This summer will be the first time in over 10 years that I will be able to wear a bikini! Thanks to Dr. Alison and his wellness staff I have lost 6 sizes & 63 lbs since April 2013.

• The dosage and frequency of NAD+ injections can vary depending on individual factors such as age, and health status. Treatment goals play a significant role in determining the appropriate NAD injection dosage. NAD+ injection dosage is highly personalized.

• Always follow the instructions of your prescriber and never use more than instructed.

• NAD + injection is best administered slowly subcutaneously into the tissue just below your skin. This allows for slow absorption into the bloodstream and helps to prevent bruising. It can be given in the back of the arm, abdomen, or flank.

• To avoid irritation, administer the injection in a different location than the last one.

• NAD+ injectable syringes are kept refrigerated since NAD+ is unstable at warm temperatures.

• A follow-up monthly patient visit will be required.

Today marks an AMAZING day!!!!

Approximately, 3 months ago I began my journey with Ideal Protein from the Alison Wellness Clinic. Today I hit my goal weight!!!!!!

45 pounds down!!!

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me along the way! Special thanks to my coach, Caroline and my mom, I could not have done it without both of them. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been sooo worth it!

I went to Alison Wellness Clinic because of a friend that had lost weight there. I had watched her remarkable weight loss and I had hoped they could help me too. I had tried several programs in the past but the difference at Alison Wellness Clinic is that they really taught me a lot about food choices and the effects they can have on your body.

The program was very effective for me. To date, I have lost a total of 63 pounds! My friends and family are constantly noticing my progress. It has really changed both my physical and emotional well-being. I feel better than I have felt in 20 years. The program was not as difficult as I thought it would be. It has really been a fun journey. If you are wanting to lose weight and gain better health, I would highly recommend Alison Wellness Clinic. Don’t wait…Start today! The program WORKS!

There is no time of the day or specific instructions when it comes to taking your NAD+ but taking early in the day is a good idea if your goal is more energy.

• NAD+ is administered via subcutaneous injections.

• NAD+ injections involve administering NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a coenzyme found in all living cells. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and potentially more significant effects compared to oral supplementation.

• You may experience redness, swelling, stinging or bruising at the injection site. Injecting slowly may help prevent symptoms.

• For your first dose pay careful attention to how your body responds to the initial dose to decide when it’s best to ramp up.

• If you miss your injection, skip the missed dose, and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• It typically takes three months to see long-term benefits.

• Choose a dosing schedule that works for you. For example, if you are injecting 3 times per week, decide whether Monday/Wednesday/Friday is a viable schedule to keep on a consistent date. Try setting alarms or calendar reminders to keep you on track.

I’ve been with Alison Wellness Clinic for 12 weeks and I’ve lost 73 pounds. All you have to do is eat the foods they tell you. Believe it or not, I don’t go around hungry. The food is great! The staff is excellent and real supportive. They’ve been in my shoes, and that kind of support makes you want to fight on. I’ve fought my weight most all my life. I’ve tried other weight loss plans. None of the other diets really teach you how to eat right. Get to Alison Wellness Clinic. It works!

The medication you are going to be utilizing is one that requires self-injection. The needle you will use is called an insulin syringe, since it is normally used for self-injection of medications like insulin, at a mere ¼ ", the tip of the syringes is extremely small and virtually painless. The medication is intended to be injected into the subcutaneous tissue, which means just under the skin.

• NAD+ injections are administered on either your stomach, upper arm or flank.

• To avoid irritation, administer the injection in a different location than the last time. Rotate injection sight, don’t use the same sight every time.

• f you are injecting around the belly button, choose a location two or three finger widths away from the belly button itself.

• Swab the area with an alcohol swab.

• Remove the cap from your insulin syringe.

• Holding the syringe in your dominant hand, dart the needle straight into the skin, at a 45-90-degree angle. The needle tip should be completely in the skin.

• Slowly inject the solution into the tissue.

• Once the syringe is empty, replace the orange cap and dispose in a sharps container or in accordance with your state’s at-home needle disposal regulations.

• If the injection site becomes red or sore report this to the attention of your coach for their examination.

I had been having a hard time losing weight on my own, and heard about Alison Wellness Clinic and decided to give it a try. This Program has been great! The best part to me are the Health Coaches. They are very supportive and are great cheerleaders. All those great girls are always in your corner cheering you on. They all seem to understand what I’m going through and have taught me that this is a lifestyle change.

I would definitely recommend this clinic. I feel great and the weight loss has really helped me feel more confident.

About the time I realized I weighed as much as I did when I was pregnant, I ran into a friend who told me about the Ideal Protein program at Alison Wellness Clinic. I had been trying to lose weight on my own but wasn’t having much success and was really lost on what direction to go.

I started the program a couple months ago and I am down 25 pounds which was my goal. I have a small frame and the extra weight was really slowing me down. I feel so much better now than when I started. It was only 3 days into the program when I slept thru the night. It had been years, probably a decade since I had slept well. I was taking anti-inflammatories several times a day and now don’t need to take any. Migraines are gone too which I had several times a month.

I would absolutely recommend this clinic. The staff is extremely supportive, encouraging and empowering.

I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life. My self-confidence was gone. My clothes didn’t fit right, and I didn’t like what I was looking at in the mirror. What brought me to Alison Wellness Clinic is I saw an acquaintance transform on Facebook. The last time I saw her, she was chubby. She kept posting pictures of herself and she looked fabulous! I wanted to know what she was doing. She finally revealed her secret and I made an appointment that same day.

My experience at Alison Wellness Clinic has been awesome. The coaches are always supportive and uplifting. I am still on my weight loss journey but I feel so much better than I did before I started the program. I can see and feel the progress I’m making. I’m loving me again!

I would absolutely recommend Alison Wellness Clinic to my friends and family. Very soon, after I lose a few more pounds, I’m going to reveal my secret to them and I know they will be making an appointment.

I have struggled with my weight the past several years. I had heard success stories from Alison Wellness Clinic on the radio and hoped they could help me.

I have been going there for 2 ½ months now and have lost 25 pounds! I feel so much better! I am able to fit in clothes that have sat in my closet for years. I actually bought a bikini and plan to wear it this season…first time in 10 years!

I would most definitely recommend Alison Wellness Clinic. The staff is amazing and is always supportive.

I heard Dee Dee on the 99.1 morning show talk about her success with this program. I have been a yo-yo dieter most of my adult life without much success. I had gotten to the point that I hated shopping for clothes. I only bought things that covered me up and I was SICK of shopping in the Plus sizes. I always felt self-conscious, especially with my closet friends. I never wanted to shop for clothes with them because I was the “fat” one and I was embarrassed for them to know what size I was.

I have been on the Ideal Protein program. The staff has been wonderful and very supportive throughout this experience. I started the program sometime in May and have lost 65 pounds over the past 9 months. I have gone from a 2X in tops and 16-18 pants, to a size medium/large tops and a size 4-6 pants! I have never had so much fun shopping for a new wardrobe! I am continuing to monitor my weight daily to maintain my weight. I feel like a new person! Because of my weight loss, I have more energy and I feel better about my appearance, which makes me have more confidence in myself.

I have tried many different weight loss programs, and a few were very successful….at least in losing the weight, but they all failed miserably in teaching me how to maintain the new weight. So, I would inevitable return to bad habits, like emotional eating or justifying “it won’t hurt to eat this one bowl of ice cream or bag of popcorn because I worked out today.” It soon spiraled into a problem when I began eating those things every day, whether I went to the gym or not; not to mention that the habit I had created from eating those foods daily caused my body to crave them even more.

I chose the Ideal Protein (IP) program because it seemed to be a common-sense approach to weight loss. Initially, I was skeptical about the IP foods, but as it turns out, they were delicious, satisfying, and the variety is overwhelming. The other element of IP that I enjoyed is the structure of the 4 phases; it truly is a proven method that easily moves you through the entire program. I feel so much better now. It has been more than a physical change for me. It has been an emotional transformation because I feel better about myself and that has had a significant impact on my relationships with those around me.

I also got my labs drawn because I had not had a complete lab panel done in more than 10 years, so I was curious about my levels. I quickly learned that the labs drawn at Alison Wellness Clinic reported much more than the typical cholesterol, glucose, HDL/LDL, and blood count levels; they identified hormone and vitamin deficiencies as well. Dr. Alison took the time to explain the results, where I should be in the recommended ranges, and which deficiencies I should address immediately versus those that weren’t as important for immediate action.

The staff at Alison Wellness Clinic are fantastic! I had the pleasure of interacting with every staff member and I couldn’t ask for a better team during my weight loss journey. In the 7 months that it took to go through the program I lost a total of 45 pounds. Their support and encouragement went above and beyond the experiences I have had at other weight loss clinics. Hands down, they are the best support team around.

If you are coming in for a weight loss consultation, your appointment will last approximately 60 minutes. This will be a one-on-one session with a health coach to go over your health history, talk about goals, explain our weight loss programs, and help you choose the one that will work best for you. You will also be weighed on our body composition scale and we will go over the results with you. You will leave with a good understanding of how to get started on the program. But don’t worry if it seems like a lot to learn….it is! That is what we are here for….to guide you through the program. Each week you will come in for a 15 minute appointment with a weight loss coach. Over time, you will feel like you are learning more and more about food and how it affects our bodies.

Botox or botulinum toxin A is a type of prescription medicine offered at Alison Wellness Clinic in Huntsville, AL that improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles on a patient’s skin when introduced into the muscles. Botox does this by blocking the nerve impulses in the problem area, immediately reducing the muscle activity that is responsible for forming the lines between the brows.

We advise our patients that the effects of Botox are only temporary and that patients should discuss regular sessions with their plastic surgeon if they want to maintain their youthful appearance. Botox can also be combined with other cosmetic surgical procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermal fillers. Aside from treating the frown lines between the brows, aptly named the “11s”, Botox can also be used to treat frown lines, forehead furrows, crow’s feet, and also skin bands in a patient’s neck.

We do not permit the use of Botox among pregnant women or those who may still be breastfeeding, as well as those with neurological disorders. To find out if Botox is the right treatment for you, contact our office and schedule an appointment with Dr. Alison.

During consultation with our patients, they are advised that all cosmetic procedures have risks. We make sure they are aware of these risks before they agree to have the procedure done. If the Botox treatment is not done by a trained professional it is possible that a patient may experience temporary facial muscles weakness or muscle droop. Other conditions like speech disorders or dysphasia, upper respiratory tract infection, neck pain, headaches, bruising or redness, and nausea are also possible side effects of a Botox treatment gone wrong.

Symptoms may vary widely from depression and anxiety to night sweats and sleeplessness for example. You will need to have blood work done, which will determine your hormone levels. Once the doctor reviews and determines you are a candidate, we will schedule an appointment for insertion.

Simply call our office to get scheduled for bloodwork. 256-489-5748. Once we have your results you will meet with Dr. Alison and he can recommend the best method of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.

No, only initially and 4-6 weeks later to set your dosing. You may have it done again if there are significant changes.

They are made from wild yams and soy. Wild yams and soy have the highest concentration of hormones of any substance. There are no known allergens associated with wild yam and soy, because once the hormone is made, it is no longer yam or soy.

What the pellets are made of is FDA approved and regulated, the process of making pellets is regulated by the State Pharmacy Board, and the distribution is regulated by the DEA and Respective State Pharmacy Boards. The PROCEDURE of placing the pellets is NOT an FDA approved procedure. The pellets are derived from wild yams and soy, and are all natural and bio-identical. Meaning they are the exact replication of what the body makes.

No, the doctor can determine what your hormone needs are even if you are on birth control.

The majority of side effects is temporary and typically only happens on the first dose. All are very treatable. There are no serious side effects.

This is an easy transition. The doctor will be able to determine your needs even though you may be currently taking these other forms of HRT.

Breast cancer survivors and/or those who have a history of breast cancer in their family may still be a candidate, however, this is to be determined by the physician. You should schedule a consultation with the Doctor.

Your practitioner will implant the pellets in the fat under the skin of the hip. A small incision is made in the hip. The pellets are inserted. No stitch is required.

Every 3-6 months depending on the person. Typically 3 1/2 months for females and 5 1/2 months for males. Everyone is different, so it depends on how you feel and what the doctor determines is right for you. If you are really active, you are under a lot of stress, or it is extremely hot, your treatment may not last as long. Absorption rate is based on cardiac output.

Female Pellet Insertion fee is $375 and Male fee is $725.

You’ll be amazed that pellets, some as small as rice grains, can make you feel so much better. Here are some of the benefits of hormone therapy:

• Increased Energy

• Increased Muscle Strength

• Weight Loss Becomes Easier

• Increased Mental Clarity

• Improved Moods and Outlook

• Prevents Age-Related Illness

• Builds Bone Mass

For women, pellets usually last 3-4 months. For men, the duration is 4-5 months. At that point, you need another pellet inserted to keep your hormones balanced.

For women, hormone pellet therapy means you don’t have to be at the mercy of hormone-related issues such as PMS, menopause, and age-related health deficiencies. Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Age-related estrogen loss increases a woman’s risk for premature ovary failure, osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s, impaired vision, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Estrogen affects the skin’s elasticity, cognitive functions, and bone mass. It’s also thought that higher estrogen levels increase the amount of serotonin in the brain, which elevates mood.

Testosterone is also needed for women. It, along with estrogen and progesterone, are the three main hormones. Increased testosterone provides increased mental clarity, libido, and muscle tone and mass. Low testosterone is linked to increased irritability, anxiety, sleep problems, moodiness, and depression. It contributes to declining bone mass, the hallmark of osteoporosis.

For men, research now defines a male equivalent to menopause, calling it andropause, signaled by decreasing testosterone levels. This decline has led to various hormone treatments for men, but most are expensive, require daily consumption, and need careful timing.

Higher levels of testosterone increase a man’s libido, help to retain muscle mass, aid in weight loss, and improve energy levels and moods.

IV therapy is extremely safe and also has zero to very little side effects.

The average time for a 1000mL treatment is 45-60 minutes. In rare instances it may go above the 60 minute mark.

Every person is different and everyone has different objectives. Your goals will determine how often to receive treatments.

IV vitamins go straight into the bloodstream and bypass the gastrointestinal system allowing

for more and faster absorption in the blood cells.

Juvederm is manufactured from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. This natural substance makes Juvederm safer and eliminates the risk of any tissue rejection. Since Juvederm is in gel form, the final result will be smoother and have better consistency unlike other dermal fillers that appears to be granular. Patients at the Alison Wellness Clinic can immediately appreciate the results and can have it reversed if they are not satisfied with the outcome. The effects are very natural and it’s not obvious to people that you had a cosmetic procedure done and patients do not experience any swelling right after.

A thorough consultation is always done with all our patients at Huntsville, AL to provide all the information that our patients need as well as address any concerns and apprehensions that they may have on the procedure. Since Juvederm is all natural, we don't require a skin allergy test to be conducted prior to the procedure. The procedure will start by applying a local anesthetic to numb the area. Juvederm will then be injected on the skin and will be gently massaged after. It will take about 15 minutes to an hour to complete each session and immediate effects can already be seen right after. Each treatment can last for about a year which makes this procedure even more popular.

The cost of the program is around $100 per week. That cost includes your weigh-in, counseling, and the cost of your diet program. There is an initial consultation cost as well.
