Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) provides a number of different measurements which are indicative of your overall state of health.  By using these numbers as a baseline, your progress toward greater health can be monitored.  The BIA is a body fat analyzer and analyzes body fat, lean body mass, fat weight, basal metabolic rate, body mass index, phase angle and hydration status broken down into intra-cellular water versus extra-cellular water.

Overall Cell Health ("Phase Angle"): This is an indicator of the overall state of your cell's health and therefore your overall health.  The most important thing is to see the number increase throughout the course of your treatment.  The higher the number, the healthier you are.

Body Composition: Many people think that your body's percentage of fat and muscle is mainly for athletes or people who are trying to lose weight.  However, this is completely untrue.  The more body fat you have, the more inflammation you have in your body.  Inflammation stresses your liver, immune system and adrenal glands and is a significant risk factor for several diseases, including heart disease.

Metabolism: This measurement tells us whether or not your body is breaking down healthy or unhealthy tissue for energy.

Water inside/outside of cells: When your body has a high level of toxicity, there is more water outside your cells than inside them.  Having more water outside of your cells dilutes the toxins and helps to make them less harmful to your body.  However, this is not a healthy state to be in because the inside of your cells do not have enough water to function properly.

Hydration: Most people do not drink enough water and are chronically dehydrated.  When your body is even minimally low on water your metabolism slows down.  There are many other health problems that may result from low-level dehydration such as headaches, fatigue, carbohydrate/sweet cravings and more.
