HealthierMe - Unlock your Metabolism
HealthierMe is a new program designed to help you better understand and ‘unlock your metabolism’.
Using advanced technology, our metabolic health assessments give you a clear picture of how your body is functioning, helping your Diabetes SA health professional tailor a plan to suit your body and more accurately track progress beyond just the number on the scales.
The program includes:
- Metabolic Health Assessment (ECAL)
- Body composition assessment (BIA)
- Dietitian and diabetes educator development of an individualised health plan based on your measured metabolism and health background
- Support to manage and track your progress, to go beyond the number on the scales and your blood glucose levels
Our body composition scanner provides an estimate of your body fat percentage and lean mass percentage to get greater insight beyond your weight and BMI. With the addition of our ECAL device, we can measure your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and primary fuel sources, directly through breath. By combining these measurements, we’re able to build a comprehensive and accurate metabolic profile to build a plan tailored to you and your body.
Why choose to do the HealthierMe program?
Anyone can choose to add on one or both of the metabolic health assessments, whether you are living with or at risk of developing diabetes (pre-diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, or have had gestational diabetes in the past).
Ideal for those who:
- have found it difficult to lose or gain weight, or have experienced a weight loss plateau
- have struggled with fluctuating weight or weight cycling
- are currently using or considering commencing a GLP-1 medication either for weight loss and/or diabetes management
- would like a better understanding of your body composition, beyond just weight or BMI
The HealthierMe program provides individuals an optional add on to your dietitian or exercise physiologist appointment and are in addition to standard consult fees.
