FNCE Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Microlife BodyGem and MedGem
Each fall, the Eat Right Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics sponsors the world’s largest meeting of food and nutrition experts — more than 10,000 registered dietitian nutritionists, nutrition science researchers, policy makers, health-care providers and industry leaders attend the annual meeting — and address key issues affecting the health of all Americans.
A client’s food and nutrition program should be based on their unique Resting Metabolic Rate – their Metabolic Fingerprint, which can be affected by a low functioning thyroid, medications, etc.
The Microlife BodyGem and MedGem indirect calorimeters measure Resting Metabolic Rate, to help your clients reach their New Year’s resolutions.
It’s that time of year when Bariatric Doctors, weight management clinics, Dietitians, Personal Trainers and fitness clubs; are gearing up for people who want to lose weight when the new year starts.
Instead of estimating RMR with the Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle formula, the BodyGem and MedGem scientifically measure a clients Metabolic Fingerprint, that is unique to them.
Estimation formulas cannot factor in thyroid issues, the effects of medications, etc.
For the best care, the American Dietetics Association recommends using indirect calorimetry to measure RMR for the most accurate assessment of nutritional needs.
Health & Fitness Network is an authorized distributor of the BodyGem© and MedGem© RMR devices by Microlife Medical Home Solutions.
The BodyGem and MedGem have the same functionality, accuracy and reliability. The difference is that the MedGem has gone through the FDA-approval process, to allow licensed clinicians to make insurance claims on their measurements.
These indirect calorimeters measure your clients Resting Metabolic Rate in 5-10 minutes, to provide them with a scientifically based Daily Calorie Budget, to help them reach their weight goals.
