Bio-impedance Analysis (BIA) - Body Composition
We have a high end Bio-Impedance Analysis (BIA) machine that measures body composition i.e. percentage lean muscle mass and percentage body fat. When undertaking a weight management program the goal should be increasing muscle mass (at least not losing it) while decreasing percentage body fat. Some weight loss programs out there will promote weight loss that includes muscle loss and the percentage body fat does not improve the way it should for overall health.

Testing with the BIA machine can be used as part of a body composition program for weight management such as Leptin Resitance, First Line Therapy and Healthy & Active both of which are offered at our clinic. BIA testing can also be used before and after using our Infrared Sauna to measure health improvements following 10 sessions.
Testing with the BIA machine can check:
- Percentage lean muscle mass
- Percentage of body fat
- How well your cells are hydrated
- Metabolic rate and number of calories you burn each day/ or should be eating to lose fat or maintain your weight
- Your need for detoxification & requirement for essential fatty acids or multivitamin supplements
