A 48-year-old female presents with hypothyroidism, trouble sleeping, and difficulties with weight loss. Since her twenties, she has been struggling with her weight and has tried numerous diets. When she would eat carbohydrates, she noticed it affected her weight dramatically and she could not keep the weight off, which has affected her emotional health and self-confidence. She initially weighed 141 lbs and was hoping to lose 10-15 lbs. Her trouble sleeping has also been a major issue with her quality of life. She can only get 5 hours of sleep a night and wakes up, unable to fall back asleep. The patient has been taking certain Glandular products from Xymogen for her thyroid and adrenal function for the past two years.

The patient had her initial medical consultation with Dr. Chari in August 2017. Dr. Chari had ordered a food sensitivity test to create a dietary plan based on the results of said testing. The results of her food sensitivity test showed she was to avoid alcohol, dairy, eggs, gluten, and even certain vegetables. Dr. Chari also ordered comprehensive lab tests to assess her liver enzymes, thyroid function and complete blood count. Those results showed that her liver enzymes were very elevated: AST was 65 IU/L, ALT was 99 IU/L and GGT was 98 IU/L (normal liver enzyme levels range from 0-60 IU/L). Her platelet count was also a concern since it was decreased at 124 x10E3/uL (normal range 150-379 x10E3/uL). In early September 2017, she started Wei Laboratories supplements consisting of LC Balancer (1/3 dose) to help with her microcirculation and Spring Juice (half dose) to aid in her digestion. At the end of September, Brown Formula was added to help with her liver function, trying to specifically help with her stress response to her weight loss and sleeping issues. Formula C was also added to aid in her connective tissue structure throughout her body.

In October 2017, the patient reported her clothes were fitting better and she noticed she was not always hungry. Her sleep had also increased by an hour each night; from 5 to 6 hours. On October 2, 2017, she continued Wei products consisting of Brown, LC Balancer, Formula C, KS, and Xcel all at full dose (which were ordered to help with her kidney function and kidney heat symptoms affecting her sleep). Dr. Chari started weaning her off the Glandular products from Xymogen at this time. At the end of October, she was taking Brown, LC Balancer, Xcel, KS, Probiosis and Luna all at full dose (Probiosis and Luna were added for digestive health). By the end of October, she ceased taking all Glandular products from Xymogen. She reported that her sleep was dramatically improving. She was sleeping 6 hours per night and also found it easy to fall back asleep upon waking up in the middle of the night.

In November 2017, she was finishing up her 3-month diet plan and her products consisted of Brown, LC Balancer, Xcel and KS at full dose. The patient reported that she now was 129 pounds and had lost 12 pounds with the dietary program from Dr. Chari and Wei formulas.

In December 2017, Dr. Chari repeated lab work to check on the status of her liver enzymes and platelet count. Her AST had decreased from 65 IU/L to 17 IU/L, ALT decreased from 99 IU/L to 20 IU/L and GGT decreased from 98 IU/L to 20 IU/L. However, her platelet count remained low at 128 x10E3/uL. Focus was then placed on improving her platelet count and continuing to remove any liver heat affecting her thyroid levels. At the end of December 2017, her protocol consisted of Brown, Levera, Cirrhonin, and Lido all at 2/3 dose, taking these products in the morning. Stemgen and Glucogen were also added at a 2/3 dose in the evening to target her spleen and improve her platelet count.

In February 2018, the patient went through another series of lab testing, ordered by Dr. Chari, to see how her blood levels have changed after being on the Wei products. After 5 months of working with Dr. Chari, dieting and using Wei products, her platelet count increased to 174 x10E3/uL which was now within normal range. This was a big improvement from August 2017, when her platelet count was only at 124 x10E3/uL. Her liver enzymes continued to stay within normal range: AST 14 IU/L, ALT 21 IU/L and GGT 30 IU/L. Her Triglycerides also had improved with treatment (see table 1 below).

Dr. Chari had a follow-up medical consult with her in March 2018. The patient reported her sleep has continually been better and her energy levels were great. Overall the patient reported that the biggest improvement for her was that she kept off and maintained her weight loss with the program from Dr. Chari and the Wei products. Even after stopping her diet plan in January 2018, where she allowed herself to eat a lot of carbs and drink wine occasionally, she was able to keep that 12 pounds off and her sleep quality was sustained. The patient was extremely happy with the results and now feels like a new person!
