Mignon Marquina M.D. graduated
from Stanford University School of Medicine, and the University of Southern California, department of Family
Medicine. Dr. Marquina specializes in bariatric medicine, the practice of medicine related to treating overweight
and obesity. She keeps her finger on the pulse of current therapies for overweight and obesity, and believes in helping
her patients discover their emotional connection with food, so that they can be successful at both losing weight and maintaining
their weight loss. She is proud to have helped thousands of patients reach their weight goals and simultaneously achieve
better health and a greater self appreciation. Often as a proper body composition (fat vs. lean body
mass) is achieved, patients are able to achieve nutritional health and wellness because of the phenomenal impact this
balance has on health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and insulin sensitivity (diabetes). In
Dr. Marqina's current practice these common medical conditions have been improved or resolved. For many, simple behavioral
and lifestyle changes are sufficient to have a dramatic impact on both their physical and mental health, as well as their
relationships both at home and at work.
Dr. Marquina has helped patients lose 10-30lb per month
safely, while eating real food. She prescribes a variety to diets and lifestyle interventions and each is customized
to the individual patients' needs and goals. She the only medical doctor in California offering an oral formulation
of hCG, an amazing prescription medication, as a compliment to a very low calorie diet. hCG has become hugely popular
recently based on the work of Kevin Trudeau and Dr. ATW Simeons. Although there is little scientific evidence to support
hCG, clinical data strongly shows a consistent improvement in weight loss, fat loss, the ability to lose fat from hard to
reach places, and excellent long term results. Please note: hCG is FDA approved, but is off label for use in weight
loss. According to the FDA, it has not been shown to be safe or effective in the treatment of weight loss, to provide
a more normal distribution of body fat, or to reduce appetite or hunger when dieting. In our clinic and around the country,
doctors prescribe it in weight loss because of the clinical data that supports its use, and the testimonies of the millions
of patients who have been successful at weight loss using the hCG protocol, but who otherwise could not lose any weight
at all!
Trained by leaders in their fields at
some of the most prestigious medical institutions in this country, Dr. Marquina is well equipped to help you achieve
your weight and wellness goals.
