Body Composition Analysis

How well do you know your body’s makeup?

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, keep reading because this is for you.

Most people go about their day to day living not knowing how much fat, muscle, water, etc., they are carrying and they most certainly don’t know what these information mean for their health and well-being. Many people have a weight scale at home and step on it to much glee or to much disappointment. But what is the weight scale really telling you?

To gather true health information, you need more than a weight scale. That’s where the professional, comprehensive body composition analysis comes in. With full body composition analysis, you learn about your actual body fat mass, the percentage of fat to lean mass, cellular water weight, muscle mass, visceral fat (that’s the potentially bad fat around the internal organs), breakdown of tissue in different areas of your body and more.

With this information, you can work towards your health and fitness goals and track your progress regularly. For many of our current patients in the thirty five and over age range, we also use this information to detect bone, minerals and muscle loss. These three factors are linked to sarcopenia, osteopenia and osteoporosis. And with the comprehensive information we gather from the analysis, we work with our patients to stop and reverse any loss.

We also use the information we gather to help our patients understand their risks for diseases linked to metabolic syndrome, arthritis, and more.

The non -invasive analysis takes less than 1 minute and within 20 minutes, our patients are armed with detailed data that offer targeted and personalized approach to improvement and wellness.

So You Want To Lose Weight?

When it comes to weight loss, many of us are really wanting to lose the excess fat that are hanging around the abdomen, back, arms, legs, neck, and face. With that in mind, you begin your weight shedding journey and you step on your home scale after a few days to see how much you’ve lost. Yes, you’re three pounds down! But three pounds of what did you really lose?

Was it water, fat, muscle mass?

To truly know what you lost, you need a full body composition analysis.

Consider this image, two people who weigh the same yet appear differently. A big reason why they appear differently is due to their respective body fat amount. Analyzing your weight by measuring body composition offers you true values of your skeletal muscle mass, body fat (in the arms, legs, trunk), visceral fat level, body fat percentage and more.

True health is more than just weighing your ideal weight. True weight loss is more than dropping the pounds. It is about losing the excess fat, reducing any excess liquid waste weight, and increasing or maintaining healthy muscle mass. Body composition analysis can give you exact details that can help your fat loss goals. With a personalized report, you can track your progress monthly and make positive adjustments that keep you focused on your goals. In as little as 1 minute, you’ll learn more about your body than a home scale can tell you. Armed with that information, your nutrition and fitness goals can be adjusted to truly help you achieve and maintain your goals.
