Body Composition Assessment via BIO-IMPEDANCE ANALYSES

  • How many calories do you burn each day? (at rest)
     

  • What percentage of you is fat?
     

  • Shoot for 75% of your physique as LEAN MASS ...as your personal goal!


Allow me plan a program designed specifically for you!


  • BIA analyses + lifestyle plan = $100.00 per person  

  • Allow a true medical nutrition therapist to design your very own
    muscle-building, fat-burning, hormone-balancing,
    health promoting nutrition plan.
     

Key Benefits

  • Once you know your BMR or basal metabolic rate,
    you know how much food to eat throughout the day.
  • Dieting becomes a thing of the past.
    Denying your favorite foods is unnecessary.
    Simply develop the habit of eating healthfully 70-80% of the time.
  • Bio-impedance provides a baseline to measure progress over time.

What is bio-impedance?

Bio-impedance technology measures the speed at which a weak electrical signal travels from point A to B [one end of the body to the other] Bio-impedance provides a baseline to measure progress over time.

  • To get accurate results, you follow specific procedures before taking the test.

  • We place two electrodes on your wrist and two on your ankle. We measure the speed at which a low frequency signal travels from point A [hands] to B [lower extremities].

  • A scientific equation is used to estimate your basal metabolic rate, percentage of body fat, lean body mass and level of hydration.

  • Next, you get a recommended course of action designed specifically for your lifestyle.


 BIO-IMPEDANCE FEES:  

Groups: $50.00 per person -- just for the test. No individualized interpretation. Only group interpretation of results --The actual test takes less than 5 minutes.
Explain results to the group as a whole. Design lifestyle goals with the group.

Individuals: $100.00 includes a personalized plan ~ 30 minute session


Bio-impedance Analyses [BIA] can be implemented in a variety of settings:

Corporate Settings

Examples
: Sherwin Williams requested that employees receive body fat testing after hearing my nutrition seminar.
Figgie International
set up a special workshop for employees with high risk health histories [diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc.], and included bio-impedance testing as a part of the experience.

Medical Settings

Examples: Mount Sinai Hospital, Pain Management Clinic included bio-impedance testing as component of patient care. Small group lectures preceded body composition testing. The Jewish Community Center has a special section for patients recovering from heart disease. I provided nutrition counseling and bio-impedance testing for patients referred to this Step-3 and Step-4 Cardiac Outpatient Patient program.

Organize your own group of ten...or more!
