Body Composition Analysis Fosters Fitness Success! Why would you want to find out what you are made of? With over 10 years of weight loss coaching and mental conditioning for success, I can tell you that details matter. The more details you know about your body composition, the more focused your efforts can be and the less likely you’ll get frustrated waiting for the number on the scale to change. What if you don’t use a scale? Doesn’t matter. Your body composition impacts your metabolism. Your metabolism, obviously, impacts weight loss and strategies for body conditioning optimization. Watch this video for a quick explanation of how it works, why it’s great and how it’s going to help you succeed! The scale only gives you weight. It doesn’t tell you how much water, muscle and fat you are made of. When you have your BMI calculated, it’s based on weight and height. If you are 5% body fat before a bodybuilding competition but your weight and height are high and low, your BMI will be too high. This number doesn’t tell you much.

The Truth Will Guide You Truth in healthcare, believe it or not, is lacking. Profits and the lies about what true health is that support big business, are so saturating our minds that for many people, it’s hard to know reality. I always tell my patients “Absence of knowledge of the law doesn’t get you off if you kill someone or get caught stealing, and not understanding your body and health doesn’t absolve you from the responsibility of taking care of yourself. You’ll still pay the price.” We have nothing to lose and as a result, you get straight answers about serious issues. We sugarcoat nothing. This is nothing to be afraid of, in fact, it’s something to embrace. With knowledge comes the power to be in the drivers seat when it comes to the health of your family. If you’ve ever felt like your doctor doesn’t listen, doesn’t “get” you, doesn’t care, pushes medications and interventions, or is listening to you and preparing their response rather than HEARING you, it’s time you wake up to other options.
