Fat Loss and Weight Loss - Getting There the Physiqology Way
Believe it or not, there is a time for one, and a time for the other. Our personal trainers at Physiqology know how to properly analyze the situation and help you determine which one is right for you.
Biosignature Modulation™ -- A 21st Century Approach to Fat Loss
We use the most comprehensive body fat analysis methodology today – Biosignature Modulation™, a technique created by world renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin. The basis for Biosignature is simple – the way that you store your fat is a predictor of your hormone profile.
What Happens in a Biosignature Modulation™ Session?
In a typical biosignature session, the personal trainer assesses the amount of body fat on the client in twelve major areas:
Chin
Cheek
The chin and the cheek are the early detection system for fat loss in a new client. We measure these folds because they are usually the first areas to change when a client begins to lose body fat.
Pectoral
Tricep
The pectoral and tricep are highly correlated with androgen levels. By monitoring and modulating these sites, we help you produce more testosterone naturally, as well as prevent aromatization, a counter-productive metabolic process.
Iliac Crest
Subscapularis
These two sites are predictors of insulin management – how much you make, and how resistant you are to it. Proper insulin management is of prime importance in preventing diabetes, as well as in achieving fat loss.
Midaxillary
The Midaxillary fold is a predictor of thyroid function.
Umbilicus
Fat around the belly button is a reflection of cortisol production, and is a measure of your stress levels..
Knee
Calf
Both of these sites are a function of growth hormone production.
Quadricep
Hamstring
The sites on the upper legs are a function of estrogen levels and estrogen ratios.
Through manipulation of the hormone profile – through dietary intervention and supplementation – we are able to help you turn on the lypolitic (fat burning) genes and turn off the lypogenic (fat storing) ones. The result is that you can lose fat faster and safer while still maintaining and even gaining lean muscle tissue. Whether you want to lose weight, or fat, or both, the personal trainers at Physiqology in Manhattan are trained to help you do it safely and efficiently.
