A method of managing weight includes performing a body type test on a patient for identifying at least one location for treatment, and placing a magnetic device over the at least one location for influencing energy flow in the patient. The magnetic device includes a set of four magnetic discs arranged in an array including two having negative magnetic poles lying in a first plane and two having positive magnetic poles lying in the first plane. The two magnetic discs having negative magnetic poles extend along a first diagonal line and the two magnetic discs having positive magnetic poles extend along a second diagonal line that crosses the first diagonal line. The magnetic device has a housing containing the four magnetic discs for maintaining the magnetic discs in the array arrangement. The housing includes an alignment marker for aligning the magnetic device on the patient.
