Female – Age: 68 – Height: 5’8” Tall

Initial Complaints:

Stats	Start Date	End Date	Optimal value For Patient

	Jan 30, 2019	Apr 17, 2019
Total body weight	178	166	155
Medical Grade Bioimpedance Body Composition Analysis
Phase angle (cell membrane health – optimal 6.5 – 7.0)	5.2	5.5	>6.6
Lean body mass – muscle and bone (Lbs)	119.4	118	Higher – needs to gain muscle
Fat mass optimal (Lbs) – optimal 25 – 35lbs depending on height and age	58.6	48	35
ECM/BCM – optimal close to 1.0 – indicates enough muscle for frame)	1.42	1.36	Closer to 1.0
Body fat %	32%	29%	<25%
Total water – Hydration
	70.9	69.5	71-73%
BMI	27	25	<25
BMR – Basal Metabolic rate	1688	1626	-
Measurements
Abdomen – belly button measurement should be less than half your height in inches	37”	35”	<34”
BP	152\92	140\83	<120/80
Orthostatic Blood Pressure – Indicates Adrenal Fatigue if BP drops on standing up from laying down position)	141/92 – 125/92 ADRENAL FATIGUE!	130/83 – 138/95 ADRENALS REPAIRED!	Goes up by close to 10 points on standing
Blood & Urine Values – Summary of Three Hidden Causes of Weight Loss Resistance (But our panel of tests includes 9 pages of testing)

High sensitivity C-RP (Inflammatory marker)	2.8	1.1	<.08
Fasting insulin	51	41	<36
Urinary Indicans Test – indicates bacterial imbalance	Negative – Normal		Negative = Normal

Noted Case Benefits:

More energy
Sleep improved
Digestion – 100% no more diarrhea that she had had for years after a parasitic infection from travelling
Joint pain gone
Lost 10 pounds body fat and 3% body fat – goal is another 10 – 13 lbs
Adrenal fatigue repaired – so energy and stress reserves refilled
Lost two inches off belly button measurement – goal is 1 more inch
Blood pressure 10 points lower
Inflammation in the cardiovascular system removed – almost at normal value of hs-cRP
Fasting insulin almost at optimal value
Endocrinologist has decided no need to evaluate the thyroid again until 6 months

Female

Age: 60 YOA

Height: 5’6” Tall

Initial Complaints:

Weight gain and an inability to lose no matter what has been tried in the past 8 – 10 years

Stats	Start Date	End Date	Optimal value For Patient
	Jan 30, 2019	Apr 17, 2019
Total body weight	188	169	155
Medical Grade Bioimpedance Body Composition Analysis
Phase angle (cell membrane health – optimal 6.5 – 7.0)	5.2	5.5	>6.6
Lean body mass – muscle and bone (Lbs)	122.8	118	Needs to maintain muscle
Fat mass optimal (25 – 35 depending on height) (Lbs)	58.6	48	35
ECM/BCM – optimal close to 1.0 – indicates enough muscle for frame)	1.32	1.17	Closer to 1.0

Measurements
Abdomen – belly button measurement should be less than half your height in inches	41”	39”	<33”
BP	147/88	140/85	<120/80
Orthostatic Blood Pressure – Indicates Adrenal Fatigue if BP drops on standing up from laying down position)	140/80 – 153/84 Increases more than 10 points could indicate high cortisol and this was confirmed on the blood test – elevated cortisol	139/83 – 146/91 High Cortisol Levels Reduced	BP Goes up by close to 10 points on standing
Blood & Urine Values – Summary of Three Hidden Causes of Weight Loss Resistance (But our panel of tests includes 9 pages of testing)
High sensitivity C-RP (Inflammatory marker)	1.6	0.6	<.08
Fasting insulin	65	60	<36
Urinary Indicans Test – indicates bacterial imbalance/microbiome imbalance in the gut	Negative – Normal		Negative = Normal

Noted Case Benefits:

More energy
Lost 20 pounds
16 pounds of body fat lost – that is 16 blocks of butter gone and 5% body fat – goal is another 10 – 14 lbs.
Ratio of muscle mass for frame improved – so truly safe fat loss with no harmful loss of muscle
Lost two inches off belly button measurement – goal is 6 more inches
Blood pressure 10 points lower
High cortisol reduced
Inflammation in the cardiovascular system removed – normal value of hs-CRP
Fasting insulin improved
