Whether it’s your ‘muffin top’, ‘love handles’, or ‘bingo wings’, we all have those areas that we just can’t seem to slim down. To some degree, each person is genetically predisposed to gain weight in certain parts of their body; however, there are other factors that come into play as well. These include stress, diet, sleep patterns, and hormonal levels. Unfortunately there’s no such thing as ‘spot treatment’ to slim down those self-loathed areas, but there is a way to cater your workouts and diet in order to suit your body’s needs: BioSignature Modulation Assessment.

Don’t be afraid of the name; it’s an easy and painless test we can give to our clients before starting an Elite Performance training program. This cutting-edge fat loss and health assessment method was developed by world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin. After 30 years of experience, he noticed specific trends and correlations in how people store fat, which was indicative of their hormone profile. The Poliquin Group explains more about Biosignature Modulation Assessment and how it played a vital role in their client losing 32 pounds in just 5 weeks in this article.

Though many people factor weight gain to junk food and inactivity, many don’t realize the role that hormones play into the equation. When hormonal levels go awry, they need to be corrected in an individualized manner, which may explain why the methods that worked for your friend may not have worked for you.

BioSignature Assessments help our trainers create custom-programs based on your results. For example, if you tend to gain weight in your middle, you probably have high cortisol and will benefit from working out in the morning. People that gain weight in this area are usually suffering from stress, have poor sleeping habits, and are nutritionally deficient. Dr. Oz explains how stress plays a big role in belly fat on his show, as well as shared how and why certain areas are easy to gain, difficult to lose. Therefore, we can create ways to find balance and improve these areas both inside and outside our facility.

The BioSignature program was originally designed for elite professional athletes, but this method can be used for almost anyone who wants to look good, feel better, and enhance their quality of life. Besides weight loss, many of our clients start to see overall improvement in sleep, energy levels, focus, digestion, and mood.
