What is BIA?
BIA uses an undetectable electrical current to assess your body composition. It measures the weight of your muscle, body fat and also markers of cellular health, fluid balance & hydration. Robust research shows that healthy levels of muscle to fat are associated with quality health and vitality well into old age. As a bonus high ratios of muscle to fat increases your metabolism, meaning you burn more calories each day!!

Who would benefit from a BIA assessment?
