In the realm of weight management, Nu Skin's ageLOC TR90 program distinguishes itself through a science-backed, holistic approach. Rather than solely focusing on the number on the scale, TR90 prioritizes body composition and overall well-being. This article delves into the science behind TR90, exploring its unique features, research findings, and how it compares to traditional weight loss methods.
Understanding the ageLOC TR90 Program
ageLOC TR90 is a comprehensive system designed to promote healthy weight management and body shaping. It comprises three key components:
- Innovative Products: Specially formulated supplements that support healthy metabolism, lean muscle development, and appetite control.
- A Simple Eating Plan: A sustainable eating plan that emphasizes balanced macronutrient intake, with a focus on distributing protein evenly throughout the day.
- Physical Activity Recommendations: Guidance on incorporating regular exercise, including both aerobic and resistance training, to enhance calorie burning, maintain muscle mass, and manage stress.
The TR90 program takes a more holistic approach to weight management. It includes a simple and easy to follow eating plan, exercise guide, and supplements.
Body Composition: The Key to Sustainable Results
Traditional weight loss programs often fall short by not differentiating between fat loss and lean tissue loss. The ageLOC TR90 program, however, recognizes that all weight loss is not equal. The focus is on body composition, which is the proportion of fat and muscle in the body.
Lean muscle is metabolically active tissue, meaning it burns calories even when you're at rest. Losing lean muscle can lower your metabolic rate, making it harder to lose weight and maintain the results. The ageLOC TR90 program aims to preserve and even increase lean muscle mass while reducing body fat, leading to a more favorable body composition and a healthier metabolism.

Gene Expression and Weight Management
Nu Skin's research into gene expression has played a crucial role in the development of the ageLOC TR90 program. Scientists discovered differences in gene expression between overweight and lean individuals, particularly in areas related to healthy metabolism, lean muscle, and appetite control. Interestingly, even identical twins can have differences in gene expression in relation to weight management.
These findings suggest that lifestyle and dietary factors can influence gene expression and impact weight management. The ageLOC TR90 program incorporates a specialized eating plan and increased physical activity, both of which can positively influence gene expression. Other research has shown that certain ingredients can have a positive effect on gene expression related to weight management. Pharmanex scientists then conducted gene expression profiling tests on a wide variety of nutritional ingredients, in addition to reviewing third party literature.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
Genetics and Weight Struggle
Many people believe that if their parents or grandparents struggled with weight, they are destined to struggle as well. However, studies in identical twins have debunked this myth. A Finnish research team, led by Dr. Leena Peltonen, evaluated gene expression levels in the fat cells of identical twins, where one twin was a healthy weight and the other was overweight or obese.
The study revealed that differences in the expression levels of certain gene pathways appeared to explain the dissimilarity in body composition, rather than the mere presence or absence of a gene. This highlights the importance of lifestyle factors in influencing gene expression and weight management.
The "Magic Bullet" Myth
The ageLOC TR90 program emphasizes that there is no magic bullet when it comes to weight management and body shaping. The false promise of rapid weight loss without dietary changes, caloric intake adjustments, or exercise is not scientifically sound. Lifestyle and dietary factors play an essential role in healthy weight management.

The TR90 program was designed to target all aspects of long-term weight management and body shaping, including a specialized eating plan and increased physical activity, both of which can positively influence gene expression.
Key Components of the ageLOC TR90 Program
The Eating Plan: A Sustainable Approach
Traditional diets often restrict calories by reducing the intake of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins equally, potentially leading to inadequate protein intake. The ageLOC TR90 Eating Plan, on the other hand, distributes protein intake more evenly among the three main meals, promoting metabolically active lean muscle support throughout the day. Most individuals consume the majority of their protein during their largest meal.
Unlike "one size fits all" diets, the ageLOC TR90 Program incorporates an eating plan that is designed to deliver high energy foods and protein at levels proportionate to an individual’s body size. Furthermore, traditional diets are often designed to be followed for a finite period of time. The ageLOC TR90 Program incorporates a sustainable eating plan that provides optimal levels of protein, fruits, and vegetables.
Physical Activity: An Integral Part of the Program
The recommendations for physical activity are an integral part of the TR90 weight management system. Regular exercise not only increases the number of calories burned in a day, but it also provides other benefits including muscle maintenance, blood sugar control, and stress management - all important factors in managing weight and achieving desired body composition results.
The physical activity guidelines in the TR90 program guide provide an optimal balance of aerobic and resistance exercise.

ageLOC TR90 JumpStart: An Initial Boost
ageLOC TR90 JumpStart was specifically formulated to provide an initial boost to the benefits of the program, but it can also be safely used for the duration of the full TR90 program for individuals seeking additional support.
Anticipating Results and Maintaining Motivation
Clinical research suggests that TR90 users may observe positive changes within the first 15 days, experiencing initial motivation. After the first 15 days, results will continue, with the most sustainable results being moderate and steady. Remember, not all progress can be measured by the bathroom scale alone.
TR90 participants are more likely to achieve their desired results by following the entire TR90 program rather than picking and choosing individual parts of the system. If change seems slow, don’t give up. Remember this-true transformation takes time. While results will vary between users, the most sustainable results are moderate and steady.
If after an extended amount of time no results are noticed, it may be helpful to examine how closely the program is being followed. Supplement usage, eating plan compliance and physical activity are all necessary to achieve the best results with TR90. If any one of these key areas is neglected, it may have a negative effect on final results.

CoolSculpting as a Complementary Approach
CoolSculpting, also known as Cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure that can complement the ageLOC TR90 program. Developed by scientists at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
The process is based on the fact that fat cells crystallize (freeze) at a different temperature than normal cells, so there is no damage to skin, nerves, or other surrounding tissue. With just one session you will begin to see results within 4-8 weeks, as the dead fat cells leave your body. The average single session lasts for about 60 minutes and there is no scarring or pain. Most patients only report a gentle cooling and dull pressure around the treated areas. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary. After the procedure, there is no need for recuperation time.
CoolSculpting begins with a one-on-one session with a licensed clinician to determine which parts of your body require reshaping. The clinician will examine all parts of your body from multiple angles and then will create a customized plan for you. The ideal CoolScuplting candidate is in good health and within 20-30lbs of their weight goal. CoolSculpting offers a solution to losing weight and freezing 20-25% of your fat.
