Non-Surgical Weight Management at Nutrition Services
Our Technology
Being overweight is associated with
an increased risk of:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Osteoarthritis
We are excited to offer new technology, called MED GEM, as an
easy way to measure your metabolism and resting energy expenditure. MED GEM is
a small, hand-held device that measures your daily caloric needs in about 10
minutes. From this information, our dietitians can develop a personalized meal
plan for weight loss taking into account your nutritional habits and lifestyle.
This device can assess how many calories you need by analyzing your oxygen in a
simple breath test. Measuring changes in metabolism throughout your care will
help you reach your goals with less frustration and faster progress.
