Body Gem
Body Gem is a metabolic testing device that enables individuals to successfully manage nutrition, weight and fitness by simply measuring the calories burned at rest each day. The device is a portable meter that scientifically measures a person’s resting metabolic rate. Resting metabolism accounts for up to 75 percent of the calories people use each day, creating a personalized caloric benchmark for losing, maintaining or gaining weight. Historically, estimation equations have been used to determine metabolism, but have proven to be accurate for only 20% of the population. So, knowing your unique metabolism can be the key to success. $49 per session
