Beth Golden, The HCG Diet Expert™

Beth Golden, PhD, ND, CNC owned and operated a Wellness practice and Medi-Spa from 1999 to present and, in 2007, began offering to clients, researching and documenting hCG in the reduction of abnormal fat and long term weight management. Her work included numerous alterations to the original Simeons' protocol. Working with clients was under the direction of, and in conjunction with, medical staff with patients utilizing injectable and oral prescription hCG; multiple hCG homeopathic formulas and additional formulas incorporating a homeopathic hormone Leptin.

In 2007, during her clinic research with HCG Dieters, she discovered that about 40% of patients doing the original HCG Diet with prescription hCG, as developed by Dr. ATW Simeons, were hungry, experienced headaches and some could not stick with the diet. 

After adding specific nutritional supplements, many of their symptoms and problems either disappeared or were reduced considerably. She also found that many of the men doing the HCG Diet in her clinic were Type II Diabetics and some had additional health challenges. With Type II Diabetes and cancer being two of top health issues in the United States, she felt detoxification programs might be beneficial for some of them.

Believing in Dr. Simeons' use of hCG for reducing abnormal fat better than the common protocol of diet and exercise, Beth researched the use of the prescription hormone hCG with the addition of detoxification, nutritional, botanical and mineral supplementation for the HCG Dieter. After developing a HCG Diet Plan 'system' in 2008, the System was released for research in 34 locations throughout the US and Canada in Wellness Centers. Not only were Healthcare Practitioners able to follow and replicate Beth's HCG Diet Plan System, but they reported that their patients experienced better immediate fat loss results, as well as better long term results than with just hCG alone.

Hence, the specific 4 phase HCG Diet Plan protocol was born as a weight management plan.
