Leptica Medical – the Founder’s Story


 “For safe and effective science-based medicines you can trust, turn to Leptica Medical Cell Function Activators™ – the non-drug approach to wellness.”

My name is Paul Opheim. I have always had an interest in health and wellness and became a pre-med student in my early college years. However I couldn't quite reconcile the pharmacological, or allopathic approach to medicine without a holistic, integrative approach so I did not apply to medical school and instead finish a botany degree.

I sensed what I was looking for was out there, but where? In the late 1970s I went to Taiwan where I became fluent in written and spoken Mandarin and later finished a master's degree in Chinese literature. After Taiwan, I also did graduate studies in China and Japan. Of equal importance was the introduction and exposure I had to the various practices of Chinese medicine, including acupuncture and the understanding of the body's qi (ki) energy system as used in martial arts.

Coming back to the States I had the opportunity to work for a company that unified the western disciplines of endocrine research and isopathy with the eastern concepts of energy and wellness with its development of homeopathic IGF-1 and hGH. Our first clinical study using a set of growth factors for HIV proved loss of lean mass could be prevented. The results were published in the Townsend Newsletter. After the passing of our founder, I acquired the company and began researching the cell signaling factors and pathways involved in the neurodegenerative afflictions of PTSD, Parkinson's and dementia.

When doctors learned I was including the cell signaling factor called leptin for its neuroprotective attributes in my formulas, they asked that I create a formula for satiety, cravings, and addictive eating. I agreed and in December 2012 I finished the formula Naturally Leptin Signaling Complex, and in January 2013 started case studies. Now, I'm happy to report that after years of use by practitioners in their weight loss and weight management programs, Naturally Leptin Signaling Complex has proven to be safe and very effective, especially for controlling cravings, as it circumvents the issue of leptin impedance (resistance) at the BBB.

I am a member of The Endocrine Society and the Society for Neuroscience where cutting edge discoveries and research are presented every year. My fascination and passion for understanding how the cell signaling pathways in the body govern our health drives me to continue to develop additional isopathic formulas which address cell signaling challenges including women's issues, healthy aging, addictions, immune suppression, anxiety & depression, dementia, and Parkinson's. These unique, highly effective and affordable formulas are now available to you for your patients through www.LepticaMedical.com.

Thank you for your time and interest in hearing a little about how I got into the
fascinating world of neuroendocrine research and analysis, and how it has
led to bringing you our exclusive formulas.
