Body Composition Testing

BioElectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

BioElectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a means of assessing your “body composition” - the measurement of fat in relation to lean body mass. It is a primary tool used in a natural health and nutrition assessment, and is used to help you in achieving your goal of optimal health.

Who Can Benefit From BIA Testing?

BIA testing is very useful tool for many condition-specific assessments, including:

Weight loss and weight management goals
Monitoring and treatment of chronic illness
Special needs specific to pregnancy and breastfeeding
Tool for maximizing general health & wellness
Tracking body composition during athletic training

Importance of Body Composition Testing
Having tools to accurately assess body composition is important, especially considering the increase in both obesity and chronic illness in this country. BIA testing is an ideal diagnostic test of body composition, and body fat in particular. BIA Testing is:

Easy to perform
Is non-invasive with low risk
Is a very cost effective means of assessing general health.
