What is the cost and procedure for setting up a biosignature appointment?

A recent email query for biosignature modulation is answered in detail, and specifics that are often overlooked are brought to light. Biosignature Modulation is not magic, but when performed correctly, it can have profound effects.

etter to the Prospective Biosignature Modulation^TM Client

Dear Coach Diaz,

I saw on your website that you do Charles Poliquin's biosignature.  I would like to get it done. Please let me know the cost and procedure for setting up an appointment. Thanks.

 

Dear Prospect,

It is a pleasure to hear from you. Before I answer your question, some explanation is necessary to fully understand the process. Biosignature is a very hot topic, and being the most senior Biosignature Modulation^TM practitioner in NYC, I get several queries a month about the service.

To the prospective customer, a word of caution: Biosignature Modulation^TM is a process consisting of three major components: evaluation of body fat percentage, an interpretation of hormone profile as a result of those measurements, and recommended courses of action.

The Biosignature Modulation "Sticking Point"

The "recommended courses of action" part gets many clients tripped up. Biosignature works by using dietary and lifestyle modification; clinical nutrition (read: supplementation); and exercise. Each of these components is responsible for 25% of the success of the program. That means changes to diet and to lifestyle habits that are not always convenient; physical evaluation to write proper workouts; and regular, or semi-regular, training sessions to make sure that the training programs are understood and properly implemented by the client.

Many people inquiring about Biosignature Modulation^TM do so because of all the excellent, informative articles that have been written by Charles Poliquin and his many students. These articles detail the benefits to be had by taking one supplement over another.

These writings, while accurate, lead several inquiring parties to conclude unconsciously that biosignature confers some magical benefit to fitness, muscle-building, and fat loss. They lead, in short, to a misunderstanding that the magic is in the pills, and that the hard work in and out of the gym to get into shape, can be skipped. It, obviously, cannot.

All that said, my price for an initial consult is $300.00; follow-up visits are $125.00 per session, and should be conducted no less often than every two weeks, at least at the beginning. This year, I completed a six-month nutritional course of study involving manual muscle testing called Integrative Assessment Technique^TM, which I use in conjunction with biosignature in what I call a CBA - Comprehensive Biosignature Assessment. I have found that doing so yields superior results.

The Best Approach - Hire Your Practitioner as Your Personal Trainer

However, the best approach involves taking you on as a personal training client, and performing regular CBA exams as part of that service, or designing appropriate programs for you to perform on your own. In that case, the initial consult fee is $350.00, and the cost of training is based on two factors - how often we train you, and whether you elect to hire us in a tier I, II, or III capacity.

A Range of Services Offerings to Choose From

In tier I, you hire me to be your exclusive coach. In tier II, you hire me as a part time coach, and a part-time consultant, with my team making up the rest of the training hours. Who you train with on the floor from workout to workout changes as a function of who I have available. In tier III service, I work more in a management capacity - writing the workouts and supervising the process. Obviously, the less I am directly involved, the lower the cost. I will tell you that tier II is the service that most clients elect for, and is the best value.

Sorry to be lengthy; I realize that you are a busy person. However, the information is valuable, and the honesty is priceless. I need approximately two and a half hours to conduct the initial consult. If you are still interested, I certainly look forward to speaking with you. Call or email the office to schedule an biosignature modulation or personal training appointment.
