12. Obesity is rising unrelentingly in all industrialized countries !
Pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with
19·2 million participants – source The Lancet.
If post-2000 trends continue, by 2025, global obesity prevalence will
reach 18% in men and surpass 21% in women; severe obesity will
surpass 6% in men and 9% in women.
Obesity and overweight contribute to:

Abdominal obesity causes risk of impotence
Abdominal obesity: risks of mortality doubled

Abdominal obesity: did you know?
14. Abdominal or visceral fat is:
• located in the abdominal cavity
around the organs.
• a very high risk factor for heart
disease and type 2 diabetes.
Abdominal obesity: a source of serious medical complications
Abdominal obesity:
• characterized by a large waist circumference.
• clearly reduces life expectancy.
• numerous complications (high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, heart attack, stroke and certain cancers).
• indicator of visceral fat.
15. Metabolic syndrom
=> Existence of many abnormalities due to abdominal
fat accumulation
Concerned if you have at least 3 of the following
abnormalities:
=> Generally associated with being overweight.
Waist circumference

+ Increased waist circumference also can be a marker for increased risk, even in persons of normal weight.
24. There are various ways of measuring abdo obesity
24
1. Waist Circumference: >102 cm (40 in) in men and >88 cm (35 in) in women
2. Waist–hip Ratio: the circumference of the waist divided by that of the hips of >0.9 for men and >0.85 for women
For example: A waist measurement of (68.6 cm) divided by a hip measurement of (91.4 cm) would calculate to a WHR of
0.75.
3. Waist-to-height Ratio
Formula Waist to height ratio (WHtR) = ( Waist circumference / Height ) x 100
MEN: Ratio less than 35: Abnormally Slim to Underweight-Ratio 35 to 43: Extremely slim-Ratio 43 to 46: Slender and

Ratio over 63: Highly Obese
WOMEN: Ratio less than 35: Abnormally Slim to Underweight-Ratio 35 - 42: Extremely Slim-Ratio 42 to 46: Slender and

• Set clear goals with a realistic timescale.
• Start reducing 5-10% from actual body weight
• Address individual needs based on Age, Height, Weight,
Medical history, Cultural, Religious, and preferences….
• Re- evaluate the nutrition intervention.
28. Set clear goals with a realistic timescale

Energy requirements based on
body weight and activity level
In patients who are not catabolic, energy
requirements based on activity level are often
quite acurate. However, a major limitation of
this system is the absence of a precise
definition of overweight, normal weight, and
underweight, as well as activity level.

• A Healthy Eating Plan within your requirements gives your body the nutrients it needs
every day/ Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and
milk products Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts Is low in saturated
fats, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
• Controls portion sizes: Learn the difference between a portion and a serving and how to
keep portions reasonable.
• Educate the patient about the smart substitutions to reduce sodium, saturated fat and
added sugar.
• Eat regular meals & Don't let yourself get too hungry. This can help you to burn calories
at a faster rate and avoid becoming too hungry.
• The different studies shown : How we can support increase metabolic rate by consuming
some kind of foods ?
31. Conclusion
31
The evidence demonstrates that the majority of people
who lose weight regain much than of that weight over a period of
One to Five
years in the absence of continued intervention.
Any nutritionally balanced diet can be recommended …
but the focus should be on adherence to a diet that is individualized for medical
and metabolic conditions and ease of long-term maintenance and adherence.

Frequency 50 Hz
Our solution
… a low frequency alternating magnetic field
oscillating from o to 4 Gauss.
The magnetic field targets muscle cells
by activation of Ca++ ATPases of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (calcium pump)
and induces lipolysis of fat stored around the muscles.
35. 5 critères d’évaluation du syndrome métabolique
• Several international studies have demonstrated stimulation of ATPase membranes
associated with calcium in the presence of weak alternating magnetic fields, less than 5
Gauss (corresponding to those of REDUSTIM), at low frequencies from 40 to 60 Hz (50 Hz
for REDUSTIM).
• The Ca++ ATPase enzymes are localized in the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of
muscle cells where they account for 90% in weight of total membrane proteins.
• Sarcoplasmic reticulum stores calcium and the rapid flow of these ions from the
reticulum to the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of muscle fibers) causes muscle contraction.
• The magnetic stimulation of the Ca++ ions that causes an increase in the activity of these
ATPase automatically entails stimulation of lipolysis of stored fat around the muscles,
without additional effort consumption.
• REDUSTIM therefore carries some of the energy expenditure cycle, as if a physical activity
was conducted.
Our scientific basis
36. 5 critères d’évaluation du syndrome métabolique
• Identification by DNA chip technology of the potential effects of 12
ReduStim sessions on gene expression in periphal blood of 11
individuals.
• The device has shown to induce a significant response, positively
modulating the expression of 89 genes in all the individuals in 73%
of cases and in parallel to the reduction of their waist
circumferences.
Our experimental proof

Activation of Ca++ ATPases

Our experimental proof
40. Conclusion
40
The description of these various stages allows to release an exclusive mode
of action of the low frequency alternating magnetic fields.
The reduction of the excess of fat mass whether it is of abdominal or physical
nature, is obtained by a natural biological stimulation of the lipolysis and not by
an invasive and destructive process, without any side effect.
It is the reason why we use the term of "BIOMAGNETIC FIELD"
to define our technology.

ReduStim takes the form of a device linked to an integral bodysuit
that covers a large part of the body, from the feet up to the solar
plexus. Two arms straps complete the device to diffuse the
BioMagnetic field for the aesthetic treatment of skin slackening in
this area.
It combines 2 simultaneous actions :
1. A main action based on the emission of BioMagnetic field to
stimulate the release of visceral fat.
2. A secondary action of controlled cutaneous micropressure
(drainage), facilitating body drain and the elimination of toxins.
Recommended treatment for overweight patients:
12 x 30 min sessions (2 sessions a week).

After a 12-session cure with Redustim®, average decrease in waist

The study demonstrated that the waist circumference decreased whereas the
4 other criteria of the metabolic syndrome haven’t been significantly modified
(which is a positive sign regarding the biological side effects of
the medical device).
Redustim® has a positive action on lipids accumulated abnormally around

The technology proved to target in priority the visceral or “bad” fat and to a lesser extent
the subcutaneous fat (that happens to be an aesthetic concern but associated with a
