NUTRITION
Whether you are dealing with chronic illness or are generally satisfied with your overall health our nutrition services can take your wellness to the next level. Nutrition is a fundamental pillar of health and it has become increasingly difficult to navigate the overwhelming number of fad diets and health misinformation out there today. Our goal is to meet you where you are and help you move towards a healthier you.
Everyone has a unique body composition—that’s why we use InBody, an innovative technology tailored to the individual. InBody’s medical-grade body composition analyzers use four pillars of technology to provide accurate, precise direct segmental measurement multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-MFBIA) extensively validated to gold-standard methods.
WHAT IS BODY COMPOSITION?
Body composition is a method of breaking down the body into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. It describes your weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health than traditional methods.
Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and body fat percentage.
WHY IS BODY COMPOSITION IMPORTANT TO MEASURE?
Most diet and fitness goals focus on weight loss or gain, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have a different body composition. Body composition describes the amount of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the body. Measuring your body composition will tell you your own body’s unique makeup and help you identify areas to work on to improve your overall health and wellness.
Body composition analysis is a method of describing what the body is made of, differentiating between fat, protein, minerals, and body water to give you a snapshot of your health. InBody is in the business of body composition analysis, and we’re here to help you reach your health goals from the inside out.
WHAT IS BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS (BIA)?
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for measuring body composition, including muscle mass, body fat, and total body water. Alternating low and high-frequency electrical currents are sent through the water in the body via contact with electrodes to measure impedance.
The impedance is used to determine total body water (TBW), which can then be used to derive your fat-free mass—the portion of your body that does not contain fat, including your muscle and bone—and finally, body fat.
