Accurate, Cost Effective Health Analysis

When you’re making changes to your diet and lifestyle, it can be hard to accurately measure your progress without expensive or invasive tests. One thing that can help you assess where you’re at now, and measure your progress over time, is the scientifically validated, non-invasive Bio-Impedance Analysis.

Simple, Fast and Effective Health Assessment

In just a few minutes, the simple, fast and effective Bio-Impedance Analysis (BIA) delivers accurate insights into your body's cellular health, fluid distribution and ratios of fat to muscle. It will even give a reading on your biological age!

These results can then help inform you and your practitioner around what to focus on to improve your health, as well as provide clear measurements to help you track your progress over time.

Using BIA to Set Health Goals

An example of how Bio-Impedance Analysis can help with setting SMARTer health goals, is when you have a more general goal such as losing weight or getting in shape. The BIA report may show that your muscle mass is less than ideal for your age, and so your goal to get in shape then becomes specifically a goal to build muscle mass by X%, increasing your protein intake by X grams per day and doing weight bearing exercise 3 times per week. You can then measure your progress by having another BIA in 3 or 6 months, refining your goals and approach to 'getting in shape' with each consultation.

How Bio-Impedance Analysis Works

BIA is quick and efficient. In just a few minutes, a low voltage electrical current is passed through your body from pads applied to your hands and feet. Don't worry! It is safe, and not strong enough for you to even notice.

The best part is all of this, including creating an individualised health plan, can be achieved in a single consultation, with the actual assessment taking just minutes. A detailed report is available immediately and you'll be guided through what your results indicate for you and your health.
