      Build healthier lives through holistic, evidence-based treatment tailored to the individual

Integrative medicine approach - holistic health treatment at Marmax Medical wellness practice

Weight management treatment is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Through personal consultation and treatment plans tailored to each individual patient, we strive to create a program that fits your individual lifestyle, body, and preferences.



A combination of medication, nutrition, diagnostic services, and other specialized resources allows us to provide you with a comprehensive approach to achieve your goals that is informed from every angle.

How it works

Initial Consultation & Goals
01

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
― Lao Tzu

Your care begins with a virtual or in-person visit with a board-certified physician who inquires about your patterns and lifestyle, explores your preferences and personal goals of treatment, and obtains a comprehensive medical, surgical, and behavioral health history.

Healthcare transformation results - evidence-based medical treatment outcomes at Marmax Medical

This powerful tool is designed to provide in-depth analysis of body composition, going beyond simple weight measurements. It measures things like muscle mass, fat mass, and body water—and it breaks these down into segmental analyses (arms, legs, trunk). This gives us deeper insight into your body when creating personalized fitness and nutrition plans.

Indirect Calorimetry by Microlife

03

MedGem by Microlife is a portable, handheld device that measures an individual's resting metabolic rate (RMR). We use it to set accurate calorie intake goals for each individual.

How MedGem Works:

Indirect Calorimetry: MedGem uses indirect calorimetry to measure oxygen consumption (VO2). This method involves the patient breathing into the device for about 10 minutes.

Calculating RMR: The device then uses the VO2 measurement to calculate the number of calories a person burns at rest over a 24-hour period. This is the resting metabolic rate (RMR).

Key Features and Benefits

Accurate and Reliable: MedGem is FDA 510(k) cleared and clinically validated against the gold standard Douglas Bag method, ensuring accurate RMR measurements.

Portable and Convenient: Its handheld design allows for easy use in various settings, such as clinics, gyms, or even at home.

Fast Results: Provides RMR results in 10 minutes or less.

Self-Calibrating: Eliminates the need for manual calibration, saving time and effort.

Software Integration: MedGem Analyzer software allows professionals to generate reports, create personalized weight management plans, and track client progress.

Who Can Benefit from MedGem?

Healthcare Professionals: Dietitians, bariatric doctors, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and other healthcare providers can use MedGem to assess and monitor patients' metabolic health.

Weight Management Programs: MedGem can be a valuable tool in weight loss clinics or programs to personalize calorie goals and track individual progress.

Fitness Professionals: Personal trainers and fitness coaches can use MedGem to optimize training programs and nutrition plans based on individual metabolic needs.

Where to Find More Information

Microlife Website: The official Microlife website (microlife-us.com) provides detailed information about MedGem, including technical specifications, clinical validations, and resources for professionals.

Metabolism Matters: The website metabolismmatters.com offers additional information, resources, and support for professionals using MedGem and BodyGem (a similar device by Microlife).

MedGem tells us how many calories are burned at rest, which varies per person depending on a variety of factors. This information helps craft your treatment plan around your specific caloric needs, informing nutrition guidelines, fitness goals, and other factors.

Treatment Plan

Medication

When used appropriately, medication can be a powerful tool for weight loss and metabolic health. We take a personalized approach to prescribing, ensuring each patient receives evidence-based treatment that supports—not replaces—healthy lifestyle changes. We carefully monitor progress and adjust medications to align with your evolving goals and physiology.

Diet & Nutrition

Nutrition is foundational to lasting health. Rather than one-size-fits-all meal plans, we focus on individualized, sustainable strategies rooted in science. Our team helps you understand how food impacts metabolism, hormones, and energy, guiding you toward choices that nourish your body and support your goals.

Physical Activity

Movement supports nearly every system in the body—improving cardiovascular health, metabolism, mood, and more. We help you find an approach to physical activity that fits your lifestyle, whether you’re just starting out or looking to optimize your routine. It’s not about perfection; it’s about consistency and progress.

Restful Sleep

Sleep is often overlooked in traditional weight loss programs, but it plays a vital role in metabolism, appetite regulation, and hormone balance. We assess and address sleep quality as part of your treatment plan, helping you build the habits and environment needed for truly restorative rest.

Stress Reduction

Chronic stress can derail progress by disrupting hormones, sleep, and eating behaviors. That’s why we prioritize stress management as a core component of treatment. Through tools like mindfulness, lifestyle coaching, and behavioral support, we help you build resilience and regain balance in your day-to-day life.
