A body composition scanner can be a game-changer when it comes to weight loss, maintaining muscle mass, reversing diabetes and fatty liver, or improving athletic performance.
💪 1. Weight Loss
Goes beyond the scale: Traditional scales only show total body weight. A body composition scanner reveals what that weight is made of—fat, muscle, bone, and water.
Targets fat loss, not just weight loss: Helps you ensure you’re losing body fat, not muscle or water weight (critical for those on GLP-1 weight loss medications!) Our scale can also measure visceral fat--the more serious fat around organs linked to health problems such as fatty liver.
Tracks progress accurately: You may not see a big change on the scale if you're gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time, but the scanner will show real progress.
Identifies plateaus: It can show if you're stuck because you're not losing fat, even if the scale hasn't changed.
🧱 2. Maintaining Muscle Mass
Monitors muscle changes: Shows whether you're maintaining or losing muscle mass during a calorie deficit or intense training.
Guides nutrition & training: Lets you know if you need more protein, strength training, or recovery to hold onto muscle. Allows your medical provider to better guide you on nutrition and health interventions.
Prevents overtraining or under-eating: If muscle mass is dropping, it's a sign your body might need a better plan.
🏃♂️ 3. Sports Performance
Optimizes body composition for performance: Athletes can use it to find the best lean mass-to-fat mass ratio for their sport.
Monitors hydration levels (on some models): Important for endurance and recovery.
Tracks gains over time: Measures muscle development in specific areas (like legs or arms), which is useful in sports like sprinting, swimming, or football.
Injury recovery: Keeps tabs on muscle loss from inactivity during rehab.

How Can It Help You?
✅ Track Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss
Weight loss alone doesn’t tell you what you’re losing—could be muscle or water.
Body comp analysis shows if you’re losing fat and preserving muscle.
✅ Monitor Muscle Gain or Loss
Crucial for:
Athletes
People recovering from injury
Those doing resistance training or cutting calories
✅ Visceral Fat Awareness
Visceral fat (fat around organs) is a better indicator of chronic disease risk than just weight or BMI.
Our Medical Grade scale give you a visceral fat rating, which is helpful for metabolic health tracking in the context of liver and heart health, diabetes risks and more.
✅ Tailor Your Nutrition & Training
Seeing more muscle? You’re probably eating and training right.
Losing muscle? Time to adjust your protein intake, calories, or workout intensity.
✅ Motivation and Accountability
When the scale doesn’t budge but your body fat % drops, that’s progress!
Great for visualizing subtle improvements over time.
🧠 Pro Tips to Get the Most from a Body Comp Scale:
Measure under the same conditions each time (e.g., morning, fasted, no caffeine).
Don’t obsess over daily fluctuations—look for trends over weeks.
Pair it with progress pics, measurements, strength logs, and how you feel.
It's easy to book!
