Functional Medicine

Empowering Body Function

Chronic health conditions affect more than 130 million Americans and are often driven by underlying systemic dysfunction. HiToP® offers a comprehensive solution for functional medicine practices by targeting root causes of various conditions at the cellular level—supporting optimal cell function while helping to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Metabolic Health

Improved Insulin Resistance, Glycemic Control

HiToP® has shown positive effects on insulin resistance and improving key blood markers, making it a valuable solution for metabolic health. Studies demonstrate that HiToP® significantly reduces HbA1c levels, enhances insulin sensitivity, and decreases insulin resistance markers, including C-peptide and HOMA-IR. These changes help improve glycemic control, as lower HbA1c levels are associated with reduced blood sugar levels over time. By improving insulin sensitivity, HiToP® aids in lowering blood glucose, potentially reducing the need for medication in diabetes management. Simultaneously, HiToP® mimics exercise during therapy by contracting thigh muscles, boosting glucose uptake and lowering blood sugar without insulin.

HiToP® supports weight loss and BMI reduction, which are crucial for metabolic health. Studies show that HiToP® can lead to reductions in body weight (up to 1.4 kg) and BMI (up to 0.6 kg/m²) over treatment periods of 6 to 12 weeks. Weight loss further supports insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, creating a positive feedback loop for managing diabetes.

Neuropathy

Nerve Regeneration and Pain Relief

HiToP® provides a unique solution for neuropathy, providing immediate pain relief for all types of neuropathies after one session and nerve regeneration after multiple sessions. Studies show HiToP® therapy has had positive effects on the regeneration of myelin sheaths in myelinated nerve fibers, as well as demonstrating significant improvements in paresthesia, pain, numbness, and, notably, reductions in burning sensations and sleep disturbances in treating neurological symptoms and neuropathy.

Vascular Health

Improved Endothelial Function

Endothelial dysfunction, a common vascular issue, is caused by conditions like diabetes and lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and exposure to certain medications or toxins. HiToP® has been proven in multiple clinical trials to significantly improve the function of microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs), helping to prevent chronic conditions. Healthy endothelial function is crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases, reducing inflammation, and regulating blood pressure.

Endothelial function refers to the performance of the endothelium, a thin layer of cells lining the interior of blood vessels. This layer plays a critical role in vascular health by regulating blood flow, vascular tone, and inflammation. Scientific studies indicate that HiToP® promotes differentiation and functionality of circulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which along with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), play a vital role in neovascularization, endothelial repair, and vascular health.

Chemical Detoxification and Improved Kidney Function

Chemical detoxification is crucial to the body’s natural ability to maintain wellness, and reduce the risk of chronic illness. Kidney function is critical in this process as it serves as a natural detoxifier, breaking down and expelling these substances. HiToP® improves kidney function by enhancing microcirculation, increasing creatinine clearance, and boosting fractional sodium excretion, indicating better glomerular filtration and detoxification. By normalizing NOx, ADMA, and ET-1 levels, HiToP® promotes better blood flow, reduces fibrosis, and increases filtration capacity, effectively supporting kidney health and detoxification.

Inflammation Management

Chronic inflammation can disrupt the body’s normal functions, setting the stage for various chronic conditions. Addressing the underlying causes of inflammation can play a crucial role in preventing these conditions.

HiToP® whole-body therapy treats chronic inflammation by promoting the diffusion and distribution of inflammatory mediators, flushing out inflammatory waste, and supporting homeostasis. In turn, homeostasis helps reduce inflammation by balancing immune function, preventing excessive responses, and promoting efficient healing.

At the same time, HiToP®’s dynamic oscillations enhance microcirculation and increase blood flow. This process improves blood flow to tissues and muscles and helps reduce inflammation by supplying more oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to the affected area, accelerating the body’s natural healing process.

Long COVID

A recent clinical study demonstrates that two weeks of HiToP® therapy improves submaximal exercise capacity, reduces fatigue, enhances dyspnea scores, and promotes better sleep quality, providing a feasible and effective solution for managing persistent post-COVID effects.

Whole-Body Therapy for Whole-Body Health

Many chronic conditions arise from systemic issues across multiple body functions. HiToP® uniquely offers a comprehensive whole-body therapy that addresses these root causes simultaneously, in one singular therapy that addresses metabolic health, vascular health, chemical detoxification, inflammation and pain reduction. In addition to effectively treating chronic conditions, this therapy also serves as an excellent preventative health and longevity solution.
