How We Are Different

We Can See What Others Cannot

At The Kahm Clinic, we take much of the guessing out of nutritional treatment. Trained to use the most advanced and sophisticated medical machinery available, our nutritionists can see what others, even doctors, routinely overlook. Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis are two diagnostic tests that measure health from inside the body. When these two machines are used in tandem by someone trained to understand the data, they provide immediate empirical results that enable us to hone in on the problem and see what others cannot.

What We Can See

The machines measure how many calories per day you are burning vs. how many you should be burning. They also measure how you are burning fat, protein and carbohydrates as well as how much fat and lean tissue you have. At each visit, tracking these numbers, we can see whether you are moving in the right or wrong direction. For instance, we can see whether or not a person is consuming their lean tissue (muscles, brain, organs, bone mass, etc.) for fuel to compensate for a caloric deficit. These non-invasive tests provide a more accurate assessment of nutritional health than has been seen before. We are able to immediately and accurately evaluate the degree of malnutrition and based on the empirical data from your body present highly effective and customized treatment plans to help you reach optimal health.

Effective and Customized Eating Plans

These plans are sometimes highly counter-intuitive. For instance, many people who wish to reach their leanest livable and healthy weight actually have to eat more for a few weeks. They must first normalize their decreased metabolism before they can lose weight. But each person is different, and we cannot help until we can see what is really happening inside your body. Because we can see far more clearly what is happening inside your particular body, we know with far greater precision how much help you need, how to help you, and we can also see when you have become healthy (from a nutritional perspective). With the guidance of our nutritionists, these tests provide not only tangible information that people can understand, but the data also motivates and convinces them to make the recommended changes because they can see what is happening inside their own bodies. Seeing their nutritional state, seeing their improvement while noticing their own body recovering and responding in multifaceted ways gives them the confidence to follow through with the treatment program.
