My Body IQ was founded after we kept seeing clients get fed up and frustrated with complicated formula’s and measurements relating to their body weight and composition. We decided it was time to provide a service that would educate people on what it means to be healthy and pursue true measurable goals.
Too many people yo-yo with their weight-loss progress in pursuit of their “happy weight,” without knowing what their weight consists of. We discovered that by tracking your muscle and fat as two entities you can develop a better relationship with yourself and develop a plan of attack with real information that takes the guess work out of what it is you need to do.
We pride ourselves on taking the complicated industry jargon and turning it into practical information that you can use to improve your weight-loss journey. You won’t need to slog yourself to sustain a weight or punish yourself for putting on 3 grams without knowing what that 3 grams is.
Stop the guesswork today and get yourself tracking to success with a scan though our friendly and supportive team.
Scans take approximately 60 seconds and our team sits down with you to explain your results all within 10minutes. With regular check-ins every 6-8weeks we’re here to guide you through your journey.
Our services are able to identify and track for you:
• Body fat percentage
• Lean Body Mass
• BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Weight/height
• Age match to body
• Skeletal Muscle mass
• Protein mass
• Visceral fat level (the hidden fat around your internal organs)
• BMR (Basal metabolic rate)
And more.
These measurements allow us to accurately track your body composition, health and fitness level. Regardless if you are training for muscle gains, to lose weight or to maintain a good health it is important to know what is really going on inside of your body.
It very important to know your body composition, as what we usually see on the surface as ‘healthy’ isn’t always accurate. A few examples:
· You may think you are losing weight (fat) when you are in fact burning muscle instead of fat.
· You may feel healthy but store a lot of fat around your internal organs which is hidden for the eye but can make a big difference to your health.
· Your skeletal muscle mass (muscles that are attached to your bones i.e. quads, hamstrings, biceps etc.) is lower than what you’d expect even though you are working hard in the gym every day.
By undergoing a scan we can get information to develop a training and/or nutrition plan for you, motivate you to work harder to reach your goal, and to help you get healthier and stronger.
This can be done as a one-time scan to know where you are at with your health or fitness. However, to get the best results and to accurately track your progress, we recommend doing scans every 6-8 weeks.
The process
The scan takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. Compared to the commonly used way of measure body fat percentage, you do not have to get undressed to do this scan.
You can undertake this scan wearing anything you feel comfortable in. Simply step up on the electrode scale, grip the handles with electrodes and wait for 30-60 seconds until the scan is completed.
Preparation for your scan
Food
Eat as per normal routines on the day of your scan but it is recommended not to eat within 2 hours before the scan.
Empty your bladder before the test
If possible, empty your bladder just before the test to allow for a more accurate body fat result.
Coffee and alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol cause dehydration in your muscles which may affect the test result. If possibly, abstain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior the test.
Breast implants
Breast implants may increase the body fat reading by around 2-4%. However, the progress tracking will still be accurate as our experts take this into consideration.
Steroids
Certain steroids can affect your body’s density and can therefore affect the Bioelectrical Impedance value which could affect the actual measurement.
It is not advised to scan if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker
We look forward to seeing you soon.
