Achieve Comprehensive Insights with Our BIA Testing

What Is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)?

Bioimpedance analysis is a quick, non-invasive test that estimates your body fat %, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat score, and total body water. It helps you and your provider see what is changing—not just the number on the scale.

What BIA can reveal:

Fat mass vs. lean mass balance

Segmental muscle distribution (arms/legs/torso)

Hydration status and water balance

Visceral fat trend (associated with metabolic risk)

For comprehensive screening, your provider may also recommend targeted lab testing and a preventive plan through preventive medicine.

How BIA Works (and Why Prep Matters)

A low-level electrical current passes through the body; fat, muscle, and water conduct electricity differently, allowing the device to estimate composition. Because water shifts affect readings, prep is essential for accuracy.

How to prepare:

Safety note: BIA is generally safe, but we avoid it in patients with pacemakers/implantable devices, and during pregnancy, unless your provider advises otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions About BIA Testing

What is the purpose of a BIA test?

To estimate body fat %, lean mass, visceral fat, and total body water so we can personalize your nutrition, exercise, and medical plan.

Is bioimpedance testing safe and non-invasive?

Yes—BIA uses a very low electrical current and is non-invasive. We typically avoid it in pregnancy and for patients with pacemakers/implantable devices.

How often should I get a BIA test?

Many patients retest every 6–12 weeks to track changes and adjust plans. Athletes in active cycles may test more frequently.

How do I get accurate results?

Follow prep: consistent hydration, avoid hard workouts/alcohol/large meals beforehand, and schedule at a similar time of day.

Can BIA help if I’m on GLP-1 medication?

Yes—BIA helps ensure you’re losing fat while preserving lean mass. We can adjust your plan within our GLP-1 program.

Is BIA better than the scale or BMI?

BIA shows what is changing—fat vs. muscle vs. water—while a scale/BMI alone can’t differentiate.
