Heim Regenerative Medicine Center is a full service Tampa medical clinic specializing in primary care, weight management, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women. The Center is led by Dr. Michael Heim who obtained his board certification in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulation upon completion of his residency in 2005 and who is one of only 400 board certified bariatric physicians in the entire U.S. Dr. Heim has a personal philosophy of caring for each and every one of his patients and enabling them to participate in and take control of their health care needs and decisions. His life-long passion has always been health and wellness and he puts his experience and knowledge to work in order to patients look and feel their best, inside and out.
Osteopathic Medicine
Dr. Heim opened The Center for Health and Age Management in September 2009, with the vision of creating an alternative to the typical primary care office found in western medicine, of hour-long waiting times and 10 minute visits. His goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to your medical care.
In the summer of 2010, Dr. Heim entered a fellowship program through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. This cutting edge training program is changing the way we practice medicine using the best evidence-based treatment programs from around the world.
Initial comprehensive visit $400.00. After completing comprehensive blood work and body composition analysis, you will spend 60 minutes, one on one with one of our providers reviewing your lab work, health history, exercise routing, diet, sleep history, and health goals. You will receive detailed, individualized recommendations which may include strategies to optimize diet, exercise, sleep and gut health. We may also recommend treatments that may benefit you such as hormone replacement nutritional IVs, Cryotreatment, red light therapy, heat or cold exposure, and nutritional supplements for your unique needs. If appropriate, you may also be prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement treatments. Follow up visits generally are required every 3 – 6 months and the fee for those visits is $150.
Initial IV treatment consultation: $50 - $125.00 Includes a brief consultation and limited lab work review to ensure you are a good candidate for treatment and recommendations on the right IVs for you.
Initial Osteopathic Manipulation consultation: $175.00 Includes a consultation on your individual musculoskeletal conditions and appropriate manipulation session. May also include ordering imaging tests or specialist referral if needed. Other recommendations may be made such as PRP or Stem Cell treatment if appropriated.
Initial Regenerative Injection consultation: $50 Includes a brief visit to determine if you are a candidate for regenerative injections such as PRP, Stem Cells or prolotherapy. This visit will not include actual treatment unless scheduled in advance as injection sessions take considerably more time and require coordination with a phlebotomist to draw and process blood for PRP.
Medications and supplements depend on the individual program a patient is on and can range anywhere from 40.00- 150.00 per month for basic hormone replacement and supplements but can be more with more advanced treatments such as peptides. Regenerative Medicine is personalized and evolves over time as you age and as your health status changes.
Effects of treatment are different for everyone but when patients make appropriate lifestyle changes and their hormones are in balance, they typically experience more energy and vitality, better sexual function and improved sex drive, less depression and anxiety, better quality of sleep, improved sense of well-being, reduction or elimination of hormone deficiency symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings, and better focus and concentration. You may see increased fitness levels and better exercise tolerance which can lead to increased muscle mass and decreased body fat. Hair and skin tend to look and feel better. These are just some of the many things you may experience when you work with our staff to optimize your health and wellness.
As a board certified bariatrician, Dr. Heim will create a program that is tailored to your needs. Your Program may include meal diet guidance, weight loss medications, specialized injections, GLP-1s (ozempic and mounjaro), and nutritional supplements. You will be counseled on the proper exercise and protein intake to maximize your weight loss and minimize loss of muscle which will result in decreasing metabolism. Generally most patients go through an initial week of dieting designed to detox the body and prepare it for the dietary phase which can last anywhere from 4 – 12 weeks or longer depending on how much weight you need to lose. Diets usually consist of a combination of meal replacement and protein shakes and regular healthy food. Following the diet phase you will gradually return to eating a regular healthy diet designed to maintain your weight loss and maximize your health. Weight loss must be undertaken as part of an overall health and wellness program. If health issues and poor lifestyle are not addressed, weight loss is very difficult to maintain. All weight loss is temporary if an individual returns to old habits so it is important to create and maintain good habits after any weight loss. During and after a weight loss program participants must perform periodic body compositions to ensure you are losing weight effectively.
Costs vary, initial visits range from $125 - $400.
Follow up visits range from $50 - $125
After the initial 2 – 3 weeks patients are seen every 2 – 4 weeks for office visits but are encouraged to come in weekly (at no charge) to weigh in on the body composition scale so that we can track your weight on the weeks you are not being seen by the doctor. Office visits are generally more frequent in the beginning of the program to ensure you are making good progress and not having any medical complications.
