BioScan™
Our state-of-the-art BioScan™ utilizes FDA-approved galvanic skin response (GSR) technology to measure electrodermal activity to help us better understand various health indicators related to your body’s unique biological preferences. This technology offers a non-invasive decision-making tool to gather deeper insight and information about your body, highlight important biometric data, and give you and your nutrition team direction in developing your customized weight loss or wellness program.
How BioScan™ Technology Works
BioScan™ technology collects quantitative biodata that can then be used to inform your weight loss program, acting as a valuable decision-making tool in understanding your specific nutrition needs. re:vitalize’s BioScan™ technology relies on established GSR technology that measures fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of the skin. (One familiar application of GSR is lie detector testing). re:vitalize’s BioScan™ process measures galvanic skin response with a non-invasive tool we call a hand cradle, which comfortably makes contact with the skin.
This hand cradle device measures the user’s GSR baseline and begins identifying patterns of coherence—looking for the ways your biometric readings fluctuate or shift in response to signatures related to real-world nutrition items like specific foods and supplements. This process tests how your body responds to various stimuli and uses advanced algorithms to compile the results, providing insights and information on your health and specific nutrient needs.
Then, the results from each BioScan™ are combined with the expertise of our board-certified holistic nutritionists and coaches, allowing us to create a comprehensive plan that addresses what you need to lose weight and the underlying causes that may be preventing you from losing weight in the first place.
It’s important to note that while the BioScan™ technology is a very powerful decision-making tool, it does not give us everything. It is a highly effective and customized starting point for creating your very own personalized nutrition and weight loss plan (compared to a cookie-cutter diet or generic macro-calorie formulas). Your plan will continue to be customized and personalized to you with our coaches as we monitor your progress and results.
Benefits of BioScan™ for Weight Loss
Most weight loss programs fail to address your individualized needs and the underlying factors that hinder your progress. BioScan™ technology provides a robust and customized picture of your body’s biometrics and nutritional requirements so we can build a roadmap to eating nourishing foods that rebalance your body and jumpstart the weight loss program.
The insights we gain from the BioScan™ technology enable our certified nutrition experts to create a personalized nutrition plan and take the guesswork out of what your body needs to lose weight. With this personalized information, you’ll be on track to attainable and sustainable weight loss.
Your BioScans™ will also be an empowering tool you can rely on in the future if ever you need to reset or wish to lose more weight — you can simply go back to your bespoke BioScans™ to get recalibrated and know exactly what you should be eating to reach your new goals.
Altogether, BioScan™ technology offers the following benefits:
- A personalized roadmap to eating healthy, nourishing foods
- Individualized meal plans that account for your nutritional requirements and no hunger and no lack of energy
- A report of foods, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients optimal for weight loss
- Insight into your metabolic health, helping to optimize your metabolism and drive weight loss
- The ability to address your unique needs and help you overcome weight loss plateaus
How it Works
Understanding BioScan™ Results
Your BioScan™ results will offer valuable insights about your body and your health, providing a benchmark to work from through our program. Best of all, the information is completely personalized to you, allowing us to create an enjoyable nutrition plan that guarantees your success.
Identifying Biological Coherence
The BioScan™ technology uses a process called biological coherence to see how your body responds to different stimuli. This technology detects specific physiological responses to various foods so we can see what nutrients your body responds to and will benefit from most.
Factors Affecting Metabolism
Your metabolism—how your body converts food into energy—is a key player in weight loss. There are many lifestyle factors that can slow your metabolism, including stress, age, and even genetics. A BioScan™ identifies how many biomarkers may be out of normal range affecting your metabolism, and (more importantly) which micronutrients and supplements are needed to address the underlying issues and restore your metabolic health.
Micronutrient, Vitamin, and Mineral Analysis
Your body thrives on a balance of important micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals to maintain its vital functions. By building plans to address your body’s nutritional needs, a BioScan™ helps you make better decisions about what your body may benefit from to function at its best.
The Process
The BioScan™ process combines FDA-cleared, science-based technology with our desire to bring you sustainable results. By using our BioScan™ technology as a foundation, we can generate a custom plan tailored to work for you.
Initial Assessment
In an initial consultation, we’ll gather important information about your health history, lifestyle, and dietary habits. We’ll do a full Body Composition & Metabolic Age Analysis and look together at your unique biodata like body fat %, hydration levels, visceral fat rating, and metabolic age.
During this private 1:1 consultation with one of our board-certified and empathetic specialists, we’ll discuss our programs and options and decide together if a re:vitalize program or stand-alone BioScan™ is a good fit for you to reach your goals.
Data Collection
After the initial consultation, our first step when beginning the program is to use the BioScan™ device to collect your unique biodata and generate an individualized report detailing important biometrics and nutritional needs.
Generating a Customized Micro-Nutrient Profile
In addition to your unique food list, your BioScan™ results will highlight any micro-nutrients you may be missing out on and could benefit from. The results will highlight which micronutrient supplements your body may benefit most from. Our board-certified nutritionists then analyze your results and use their findings to create a customized meal plan and supplement protocol, including access to recipes catered to your program and dietary preferences.
Why re:vitalize Will Work For You
Outcomes and Applications
The use of BioScan™ technology is one way re:vitalize is set apart from other weight loss programs, as it allows us to gain advanced insight and provide a truly customized plan for each member for improved outcomes.
Understanding Your Unique Nutritional Needs
A BioScan™ provides a picture of your nutritional needs that other weight loss programs simply cannot. The nutritional analysis highlights vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients that your body may be missing, helping to create a weight loss strategy tailored for you as a unique individual.
Driving Weight Loss with Optimal Foods
With a foundational nutritional analysis and an understanding of which foods are best for your body to achieve your weight loss or wellness goal, re:vitalize’s robust collection of simple-yet-delicious recipes helps give your body the nutrients it needs to convert energy. By rebalancing your body’s nutrients and jumpstarting your metabolism with foods you’ll love, our program drives real, sustainable weight loss.
Addressing Imbalances for Metabolic Optimization
The metabolism is one of the most overlooked and most important contributors to weight loss. Without a focus on metabolic health, your weight loss efforts can fail to address the root causes of retaining undesired weight. We’ll measure, benchmark, and track your Metabolic Age improvement with each week, and your BioScan-guided nutrition plan will help address imbalances to optimize your metabolic function.
Enhancing Metabolic Efficiency
By addressing your metabolic health and improving the efficiency of your metabolism, our nutrition plans not only support weight loss but promote increased energy levels and enhanced holistic health, creating a healthier, happier, and younger-feeling you.
