In contrast to medical practice where the two key parts are diagnosis (which is identifying the disease) and treatment (which is usually in the form of drugs and surgery), the health assessments we offer do not diagnose or treat disease. Our approach consists of an analysis and a personalized health improvement program using designed clinical nutrition. We specialize in prevention and we focus on the theory "Let Food Be Your Medicine".
BIM ASSESSMENT: a new health technology:
The BIM (Bio-Electrical Impedance Measurement) assessment uses a state-of-the-art medical device designed to measure 58 different electrical "circuits" in your body related to specific organs and systems. BIM devices have been consistently used in medicine to non-invasively obtain important health information. Some of the more recognizable devices include the EKG and EEG used to measure heart and brain function. This assessment determines the overall balance of the various organ systems in the body and helps correct imbalances with whole food nutrition.
The procedure is totally non-invasive (the skin is not pierced). A metal probe is touched to the skin at 58 points on your hands and feet in order to measure the electrical resistance on the skin. The assessment can be completed in 30 minutes or less. Test results are color-coded in an easy to understand take home report showing which systems and organs are stressed or weakened, and containing the the practitioner's specific findings and recommendations. The technology's strength lies in its ability to quickly and accurately establish a protocol, as well as to monitor progress by comparing future scans/readings during follow-up visits.
