Body Composition Testing

• Because you’re so much more than one number on a scale…
• Because you don’t have to be overweight, to be overfat…
• Because losing weight is good, but losing fat while preserving lean body mass is ideal…
• Because your knowing your daily caloric needs helps you with optimal caloric intake…
• Because having more water inside the cell is healthier than outside of the cell…
• Because food quality is as important as food quantity for optimal body composition…
• Because you may be taking supplements, but are you taking the right supplements for you?

Monitoring body composition is useful in health promotion and the treatment of overweight / obesity, diabetes, food allergies / intolerances, digestive disorders, kidney disease, emphysema, eating disorders, and wasting syndrome.

Body composition testing is conducted by Ashley Koff, registered dietitian, utilizing the Biomarkers2000 machine (for more information visit www.biomarkers2000.com).
