BioCorRx Provides Update on New Weight Management Program

ANAHEIM, CA, March 15, 2018 -- BioCorRx Inc. (OTCQB: BICX) (the "Company"), a developer and provider of advanced solutions in the treatment of alcohol and opioid addictions, today announced an update on the pilot program for weight loss with Atlantis Medical Wellness & Weight Loss Center. The weight loss program began in October 2017 and the Company reports that Atlantis has successfully enrolled a total of twelve individuals to date as planned into the program. The initial results have been positive as reported by patients. 

As mentioned in the Company’s previous release, BioCorRx has teamed up with Dr. Benjamin Gonzalez, Medical Director of Atlantis Medical Wellness & Weight Loss Center in Silver Spring, MD. Dr. Gonzalez is renowned for his expertise in clinical nutrition with a focus on exercise nutrition and weight management. 

According to the CDC, more than one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults have obesity. According to a 2012 article in the Journal of Health Economics, estimates of current healthcare costs of obesity range from $147 billion to nearly $210 billion per year. Some of the risks associated with this disease include heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, breathing problems and other health issues.

Brady Granier, CEO, President, and Director of BioCorRx, stated, "We are very pleased with the feedback we have received from Dr. Gonzalez and the patients enrolled in the pilot program to date. We anticipated that this program would help individuals struggling with their weight in some way, but it’s great to actually hear the excitement from those enrolled thus far. One of the first patients who enrolled in the program reported a weight loss of 25 pounds after three months along with healthier lifestyle habits. So far, most of the participants polled have expressed reduced cravings for food. We look forward to completing the pilot mid-year and plan to begin marketing the official weight loss program as anticipated immediately thereafter.
