The Boswell Center Introduces MedGem™

Take Control of Your Weight and Become More Attuned to Your Body
"If I look at food, I gain weight. But my friend eats anything and never puts on a pound. Will someone please explain?"

How does MedGem™ work?
MedGem™ is an FDA-approved hand-held device that quickly and accurately measures your resting metabolic rate (RMR), or how many calories your body burns. You simply breathe through the MedGem™ mouthpiece. Within ten minutes, the MedGem™ accurately measures the total number of calories you burn on a daily basis.

Why do I need to know my Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)?
Metabolism varies widely from person to person. Knowing your RMR is a key element of a complete weight management plan, because it determines what you can eat and still lose weight. The only accurate way to know your RMR is to have it measured.

What happens after I use MedGem™?
Once your RMR is determined, the professionals at The Boswell Center will design a personalized plan to adjust your nutrition and exercise habits to meet your weight management goals.

What are the benefits of using MedGem™ at The Boswell Center?

  • You receive an accurate measure of your resting metabolic rate.
  • Your personalized nutrition plan is devised by a registered dietitian.
  • Individualized support and care are provided throughout your weight-management program.
  • MedGem™ can be used to determine RMR on any individual.
