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.

Page 15: Abdominal obesity : the risks factors .Redustim, a medical device solution

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 Healthy-Ratio 46 and 53: Healthy, Normal Weight-Ratio 53 to 58: Overweight-Ratio 58 to 63: Extremely Overweight/Obese-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 Healthy-Ratio 46 to 49: Healthy, Normal Weight-Ratio 49 to 54: Overweight Ratio 54 to 58: Seriously Overweight-Ratio over 58: Highly Obese

4. Sagittal Abdominal Diameter

For persons of normal BMI, SAD should be under 25 centimeters.

Nut intervention goals

27

• 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.

Page 28: Abdominal obesity : the risks factors .Redustim, a medical device solution

Set clear goals with a realistic timescale

START REDUCING 5-10% FROM ACTUAL BODY WEIGHT

• 5-10 percent weight-loss can result in a five point increase in HDL cholesterol.

• Was shown to decrease TG by an average of 40mg/dl.

• Both Systolic/ Diastolic decrease by 5mmHg

• Has effect with diabetes by improve A1C, and Insulin Resistance

• Sleep Apnea

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.

Energy requirements based on body weight and activity level

Dietary management

30

• 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 ?

Page 31: Abdominal obesity : the risks factors .Redustim, a medical device solution

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.

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.

Page 35: Abdominal obesity : the risks factors .Redustim, a medical device solution

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

• 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.

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).

Recommended treatment for obese persons: 15 x 45 min sessions (2 sessions a week).

Primary clinical result:

After a 12-session cure with Redustim®, average decrease in waist circumference by 6,1 cm in patients with abdominal obesity vs -1,8 with

placebo.

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

visceral and muscles (mainly on the abdominal zone).

The technology proved to target in priority the visceral or “bad” fat and to a lesser extent
