InBody Body Composition Machine for Medical Weight Loss – Men’s Health Clinic

https://menshealthclinicblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/21/inbody-body-composition-machine-for-medical-weight-loss/

In recent years, new technologies have come around that allow for complete monitoring of body composition and more. With these technologies it is possible to completely personalize diet plans in a way that works for each person individually.

Making sure that you are being medically safe when you are on your weight loss journey can be confusing. This is why many people turn to medical professionals to undertake medical weight loss. But not all clinics or doctors offer the best technology to measure bodies and determine body composition for the best results. Fortunately, Innovative Men’s Clinic is one of the few medical clinics offering advanced body composition analysis for weight loss.

One of the technologies you should be looking for is InBody. If you have already heard about their body composition machine you can skip this video. Dr. Jeralyn Brossfield interprets a results sheet from the InBody, showing the insightful information that this tool gives doctors.

What Is InBody?

If you aren’t sure that this technology will really help you, InBody has a proven track record that speaks for itself. Dr. Melina Jampolic recommends the InBody system through her expert advice on CNN’s website. She had this to say:

Which test should I trust when measuring my body fat?

Bioelectrical impedance – The principal behind this measurement is that electricity flows differently through fat and lean body mass. By measuring the resistance to the flow of a very small current of electricity through different parts of your body (most commonly the arms, legs or both), body fat percentage is estimated. The problem is that many of these devices don’t measure belly fat, which is the most dangerous. So if a man has thin legs and a big belly, their body fat measurement will not be accurate. In addition, as with all body composition testing devices, they are sensitive to hydration status. So if you measure your body fat after a workout (when most people are dehydrated) or first thing in the morning, the test will be less accurate and will overestimate your body fat. The most accurate time of day for testing with these units (and any other body composition testing methods) is late morning and before you exercise. Hydration levels may also be affected by excess alcohol intake, medication, and PMS.

It’s becoming clear that clinics with access to the InBody system have a better understanding of what is actually needed for medical weight loss. The biggest challenge then becomes understanding the unique eating challenges that face each person who comes through the doors, ensuring they receive the best possible results after their initial information has been collected.

InBody USA covers some of the most important myths behind dieting and helps answer questions for anyone looking to truly understand how to maximize their results. In a recent article they go out of their way to clarify the role of carbohydrates in our health and in terms of weight loss.

Should You Give Up Carbs for Weight Loss?

… Once your cells, liver, and skeletal muscles reach their maximum glycogen storage capacity ( roughly 300-500 grams for skeletal muscles and about 100 grams for the liver), excess glucose is converted into fat through a processed called de novo lipogenesis.

But here’s the catch: it turns out that de novo lipogenesis exerts little influence in terms of significant weight gain, particularly if your excess carb consumption is preceded with exercise and carb restriction (which explains why intermittent fasting works for others).

LaserCap Reviews are Good Thanks to Excellent Results – Men’s Health Clinic

https://menshealthclinicblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/lasercap-reviews-are-good-thanks-to-excellent-results/

LaserCap is a hands-free low level laser therapy device for your hair. It has 224 laser diodes and comes with a rechargeable battery pack. The Laser Cap is cordless when in use and delivering laser therapy to the scalp. LaserCap can fit inside any hat, including your favorite baseball cap. The Laser Cap is very easy to use and convenient.

The LaserCap can be worn by men concerned with hair loss or thinning hair. With as little as three 30-minute treatments per week, you can experience thicker, stronger, and fuller hair in 3-6 months.

The LaserCap unit is completely portable and can be inserted into the hat of your choice, it has the most number of lasers and strongest degree of stimulation, all with guaranteed results.

The LaserCap has a pocket controller with a rechargeable Lithium ion battery. You can wear the LaserCap at your convenience without the restrictions of a power cable getting in your way.

The LaserCap’s proprietary technology offers the first ever completely portable unit, offering new hope for men and women suffering with thinning, balding and dull hair.

LaserCap utilizes 224 lasers. It incorporates physician-grade laser experience into a single completely portable and hands-free device. LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) uses therapeutic soft low-light level lasers and broad coverage LED diodes with pure red light at 633-670 nm.

Laser therapy offers the optimum wavelength and frequency to treat hair loss. LaserCap stimulates an increase in micro-circulation of blood supplies in the scalp. This increases cellular metabolism and promotes the repair of damaged cells and weakened hair follicles.

According to a review article published from Harvard Medical School (Hamblin M.R. Mechanisms of Low Level Light Therapy, Photobiology), the effects are based on enhanced cell proliferation, leading to more growth and rapid healing. This same principal is now applied in LLLT in order to repair damaged blood vessels in the scalp by promoting neovascularization, thereby providing hair follicles with the circulation they require. Research indicates that the loss of vascularization and gradual loss of hair can be alleviated by using combination laser and light therapy.

The LaserCap hair treatment program uses 224 laser diodes positioned in a hands-free device worn on the head. The proximity of the LaserCap to the patient’s scalp allows for maximum effectiveness and minimal dispersion of the laser & light energy. Each treatment session is 30 minutes on alternating days of the week. The FDA has certified LLLT laser as a class 1 cosmetic device.

LaserCap is safe. The laser does not emit ablative energy and is not hot. Hence, there is no risk of injuring the patient’s skin. The treatment does increase blood flow in the scalp, and some patients may experience a transient headache after the first few treatments.
