Optimal Body Composition Program

An affordable, accurate and time-efficient program in Portland, Oregon that tests how much body-fat, lean mass (muscle), water weight both inside and outside of your cells and how much cellular mass is in your body.

• Are you losing weight and want to figure out if the weght you're losing is from fat-reduction?
• Do you want to lose weight but want to know how much you can lose and still stay healthy?
• Do you need to cut-weight for a competition and wish to figure-out how much can be cut quickly without seeing much of a decline in performace?
• Have you ever wanted to analyze how healthy you current weight is?

Well, with my Optimal Body Compsition program you can! Effectively, accurately, safely and quickly. I use the BioMarkers 2000 Bioimpedance analyzer (BIA) to measure your body composition.

• Body composition analysis is the clinical assessment of tissue and fluid compartments in the human body. It measures:

Tissue and Distribution

• Fat Mass
• Fat-Free Mass
• Body Cell Mass (Intracellular Mass) Extracellular Mass
• Total Body Water Intracellular Water Extracellular Water and more

A normal distribution of tissue and fluid in the body is associated with immunity, high function, and longevity. Body composition analysis is used in preventative, therapeutic, and research applications such as:

Nutritional Assessment

• Nutritional Assessment
• Anti-Aging Therapy
• Physical Performance Assessment
• Weight Management
• Obesity
• Fluid and Nutritional Assessment
• Geriatrics
• Lifestyles Assessment
• Athletic Performance Clinical Trials Research Initiatives

BIA is safe, accurate and efficient. You won't feel a thing during the test even though these measurements are completed through the use of small electrical currents.

When having your body composition analyzed, you will lie face up on an examination table. Two pairs of sensor electrodes are placed on your right hand and wrist, and right foot and ankle as shown in the following pictures.

I will then enter in your gender, age, height, and weight a printout is generated afterwords with your information on it and will further analyze the data combined with the information in your intake form and give you a written evaluation and recommendations (if any) on how to improve your body composition.

Have you experienced BIA before? I was appalled to learn that many gyms, trainers and doctors who perform similar tests do not tell their patients/clients that there are procedures which must be adhered to in order for the test to be accurate and reliable.
