Weight Loss - Bariatric Medicine

Dynamed 2000

The Dynamed 2000 is a device that uses dry heat to help raise your body’s Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) just as you would if you were to vigorously exercise. During a single session, you will:

• Burn 500 to 700 calories, on average

• Raise your metabolic rate by 400%

• Promote the breakdown of stored fat

• Adjust your BMR's "Set Point" to a higher level so that your body consumes more calories each day

Behavior Modification

The program includes early emphasis on gentle aerobic activities until the patient is comfortable to go through a fitness test to assess their flexibility, aerobic and strength capability. An exercise prescription is then written and periodic follow-up provided until a fun and diverse program of activity becomes a way of life. The program is designed to help patients overcome their exercise-related fears and encourage them to develop healthy exercise habits, while increasing their metabolic rate to facilitate a better lifestyle and to improve weight loss.
