A member asked:

Does a vibrating weight loss machine help w/ weight loss if watching what your eating / working out? does it help with circulation in legs/arms?

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Jury is still out: There's not enough peer-reviewed published data regarding total body vibration and it's (long-term) effects on the human body. Certainly any physical activity coupled w/sensible nutrition should help you get healthy. Focus on health rather than weight loss, although latter will come around in time. Good luck!
