Muscle-to-fat ratio predicts more than the scale ever will.
Two people can weigh the same and be on opposite health trajectories. Muscle is your metabolic engine and your longevity insurance; visceral fat is the quiet risk. We measure both precisely with InBody analysis, then track your protocol against the numbers that matter.
of muscle mass lost per decade after 30 — unless you actively fight for it.
number the scale gives you. The InBody gives the ones that matter: muscle mass, fat mass, visceral fat.
'goal weights.' We set muscle and visceral-fat targets instead — and track them.
Weight lumps muscle, fat, bone, and water into one number. But muscle drives your metabolic rate, blood sugar control, and resilience against aging — while visceral fat around the organs drives inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Losing 'weight' by losing muscle is a step backward that the scale calls progress.
"On a GLP-1, a substantial share of what you lose can be lean mass — unless protein and resistance training are part of the prescription. Here, they are."
InBody segmental analysis — skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, and visceral fat, tracked over time instead of guessed from a mirror.
Protein targets, resistance training structure, and hormone optimization where your labs support it. Muscle is the asset; we treat it that way.
Regular re-scans. The protocol gets judged on muscle held and visceral fat lost — not on a scale that can't tell the difference.
BMR — basal metabolic rate — is the energy your body burns just keeping you alive. RMR, resting metabolic rate, is the same idea measured under real-world resting conditions, and it accounts for the majority of the calories you burn in a day. The biggest lever you control over it is simple: how much muscle you carry.
That's why 'eat less, move more' backfires when the weight you lose is muscle — the engine shrinks, your RMR drops, and the plate that used to maintain your weight now gains it. It's also why we won't run a GLP-1 protocol without composition tracking: protecting lean mass is protecting your metabolic rate.
"Your metabolism didn't break at 40. Your muscle mass changed — and that's fixable."
Skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, and an RMR estimated from your actual lean mass — not an online calculator's guess. This is where your protein target, calorie floor, and training structure come from.
The gold standard for bone density, with regional fat and lean detail. We order it when bone is the question — long-term GLP-1 use, perimenopause and menopause, or a history that puts bone at risk.
A rising RMR means the engine is growing. A falling RMR on a weight-loss protocol means we adjust — more protein, more resistance training, a slower taper — before muscle is lost.
InBody re-scan while we're actively working on composition. Long enough to see real change, short enough to correct course.
VO₂ max retest — the engine's output, alongside its size.
DEXA for bone density — typically annually when bone is part of the picture.
Composition pairs with the metabolic labs that explain it — insulin, hormones, thyroid, and inflammation.

You should. Composition tracking is how we make sure the weight coming off is fat, not muscle — and how we adjust protein and training if it isn't.
Every 4–12 weeks depending on the protocol. Composition moves slower than water weight — scanning too often just measures noise.
Often, yes. Building muscle while losing fat can hold weight steady while your body — and your risk profile — changes completely. It's the best 'stall' there is.
