Assessment Tools

 

At Beyond Care we use specialized assessment tools to evaluate your current health and develop the appropriate diet and exercise plan for you. 

The Yi Indicator

For everyone there is an optimally healthy weight that takes into consideration variables including height, age, metabolism and more. Not only can we pinpoint this figure,  but we can also predict with great accuracy what is needed to achieve it and how long it will take to get (and stay) there. Our proprietary formula utilizes extraordinary data from more than 500 body composition scans analyzed and correlated with an exhaustive outcome study of 200 patients.   We have created an algorithm – the Yavari Indicator (called Yi) — that enables us to screen and categorize every patient into one of 18 types of obesity or weight gain and predict weight loss accurately.

Metabolic Syndrome & Diabetes

Our proprietary, non-invasive test can determine risk for both with great efficacy the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.  The tool uses a simple algorithm calculated from body measurements such as weight, waistline and hip diameter – those at high risk can then test their blood sugar for diagnosis of diabetes. This revolutionary test can help diagnose millions of people at early stages of diabetes and thus reduce the likelihood of complications from this so-called “silent killer.” Meanwhile, those with pre-diabetes can use our guidelines for healthy lifestyle change to prevent diabetes altogether.
