The Microlife BodyGem and MedGem indirect calorimetry devices measure your clients Resting Metabolic Rate, to optimize their weight loss results.
Instead of estimating RMR with the Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle formula, the BodyGem and MedGem scientifically measure a clients Metabolic Fingerprint, that is unique to them.
Estimation formulas cannot factor in thyroid issues, the effects of medications, etc.
For the best care, the American Dietetics Association recommends using indirect calorimetry to measure RMR for the most accurate assessment of nutritional needs.
The BodyGem and MedGem are the same type indirect calorimeter. They have the same functionality, accuracy and reliability.
The difference is that the MedGem is a FDA 510K-cleared, class II, medical device, which allows licensed clinicians to make insurance claims on their measurements.

The BodyGem is designed for Personal Trainers, fitness facilities and Dietitians who don’t make insurance claims for their services.
Set yourself above your competition, by offering a higher level of care to your clients with a scientifically determined resting metabolic rate (RMR) measurement. To perform a measurement, your client simply breathes into the device, which measures their oxygen consumption (VO2) to determine their unique metabolic rate.
Measurement providers typically charge between $50-70 for a RMR measurement, so you can generate profits quickly.
A wide variety of health and fitness professionals use the BodyGem, to ensure accurate and reliable measurements for use in their weight management programs. CLICK FOR MORE INFO ON THE BODYGEM
