Losing weight is a goal for many of our patients, but how do you get there? If you only focus on losing weight, you may lose muscle mass and eventually sabotage your efforts. We especially see this in patients using the new GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro and Ozempic for weight loss. Often, when patients go off these medications, they regain weight because their drop in muscle mass means their bodies aren’t burning as many calories.
How are you measuring your health?
Health is not defined merely by the absence of disease. Health is complex, ever-changing, and uniquely your own. Some of the most common health markers associated with overall well-being are weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The problem is these metrics only scratch the surface of who you are. Your body is inviting you to examine and respond to insights that you’ve held inside this whole time.
See what you’re made of.
You are much more than one standardized number. InBody analyzes your body muscle, fat, water, and proteins to provide you with personalized baselines that you can use as the foundation upon which to start your journey to better health.
Body composition analysis is key.
Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body’s components, which are muscle, fat, and water. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, InBody’s direct segmental measurements provide precise and accurate outputs for each section of your body that you can use to make small adjustments that will lead to significant long-term health improvements. Body composition analysis is the key to increasing muscle mass, maintaining balanced fat levels, and monitoring fluctuations in fluid retention.
By differentiating between muscle and body fat, body composition removes the guesswork of determining your weight fluctuations, be it muscle gain, body fat loss, or anything in between.
We utilize the InBody 970 system to provide extensive information on body composition. The InBody 970 is a research-grade device utilizing bio-impedance analysis (BIA), which is consistently the most accurate body composition method. Fat and muscle produce different resistance levels to electricity, BIA passes a safe electrical signal through your body to measure resistance levels. The test takes less than two minutes and is more cost-effective than other body fat/skeletal muscle mass measures.
The InBody 970 identifies changes in the body and precisely what these changes are. This reproducible data gives you tangible proof of your progress and gives your trainer or coach another tool to monitor and fine-tune your wellness, fitness, or performance program. In addition to lean muscle mass and total body fat, the InBody 970 also allows us to measure
- Skeletal Muscle Mass
- Percent Body Fat
- Body Fat Mass
- Basal Metabolic Rate
- Abdominal Fat Analysis
- And more!
The visceral fat measure is critical as high visceral fat is linked to metabolic syndrome, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
Whatever your goals, an important thing to remember during your health journey is that there’s more to being healthy than looking thin. The InBody 970 helps you focus on numbers that improve your health and well-being. Take your InBody Test every four weeks to continuously monitor your general well-being.
