- Obesity is the only chronic disease that clinicians usually treat acutely
- Significant and rapid weight loss typically results in muscle catabolism and lower BMR
- Lower BMR always results in eventual regain of weight, fat, co-morbidities and frustration.
- Instead of weight loss we need to concentrate on fat loss with muscle/BMR maintenance
- Intake of protein at one gram per pound of lean body mass preserves muscle and BMR
- Essential to accurately and frequently monitor lean body mass and body fat
Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss & Muscle Maintenance
- Weight loss drugs effectively induce anorexia resulting in muscle and BMR decrement
- All weight loss drugs cause tachyphylaxis due to membrane receptor down regulation
- Protein and MCTs as appetite suppressants never cause tachyphylaxis
- Patients need evidence based tools for decades long results which Cornerstone delivers
Cutting Edge Technology
Cornerstone’s proprietary FDA Class 2 HIPPA compliant Internet driven BC4 bioimpedance device produces patient friendly graphics of LBM, BF% and excess BF in 6 seconds.
The only “machine learning” based algorithm has a coefficient of correlation to DEXA of r = 0.92 in the overweight population, the most accurate in the industry.
Easy to read history graph of weight, BF% and LBM stored in the cloud for patients and clinicians to access.
Dashboard automatically determines recommended protein and calorie intake based on activity levels as well as “goal date.”
Patient’s customized caloric intake is based on their BMRminus 10% and protein goal of one gram protein/lb of lean body mass.
DEXA Body Scan
DEXA body fat scans of two individuals with the same BMI. Notice the 400% difference in body fat (yellow) stressing the importance of relying on body composition rather than scale weight. DEXA is not convenient or realistic for regular monitoring. Therefore, we provide a quick, accurate DEXA matched alternative, the Cornerstone Wellness BC4.
