When it comes to health, it’s what’s on the INSIDE that counts!
Did you know that identifying the percentage of fat versus muscle in your body is a far better way to assess your overall health and fitness than simply weighing yourself? That’s why the Natural Health and Nutrition Clinic offers InBody Body Composition Analysis.
The InBody range of body composition analysers is the only Bio-electrical Impedance machine with 98% correlation to DEXA scanners across a broad range of populations including children, elderly, athletes and obese people to name a few.
The InBody 570 device provides a detailed report outlining an individual’s measurements in such things as:
| – Total body water | – Body water analysis |
| – Protein | – Segmental fat analysis |
| – Mineral | – Segmental circumference |
| – Fat Free Mass | – Visceral fat Area Level (VFL) |
| – Soft Lean Mass | – Intracellular water (ICW) |
| – Muscle Fat Analysis | – Extracellular water (ECW) |
| – Skeletal muscle mass | – ECW Ratio Analysis |
| – Body fat mass | – Basal metabolic rate (BMR) |
| – Body mass index (BMI) | – Waist-hip ratio (WHR) |
| – Percentage of body fat (PBF) | – Bone mineral content (BMC) |
| – Segmental lean analysis | – Body cell mass (BCM) |
| – Arm muscle circumference | – InBody Score |
| – Blood pressure | – Heart rate |
| – Oxygen saturation | – Body composition history |
Why do I need a body composition scan?
You don’t need to be an elite athlete to require an InBody Scan. Because of the information this machine will provide you, it can also raise alarm bells with low Bone Mineral Density or high levels of Visceral fat (the bad fat around your abdominal organs). Both of which are health risks that would need medical attention and/or changes to exercise and nutrition.
For those who frequent the gym or who exercise regularly, the InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis report can help monitor if your current gym program or exercise and nutrition regime is working for you. The report can also assess any imbalances in the limbs of the body, making it great for Personal Trainers to be able to prescribe programs for your individual needs.
InBody does not use averages when calculating your results, so there’s no guesswork – It’s all about YOU!
Not only is the InBody Body Composition Analyser highly accurate, but also fast and easy. You simply stand on the platform and grip the handles for one full minute. The equipment can tell you where your body stores fat and where you store water. It even divides total body water into what’s inside and outside of the cells – values important in medical contexts, as they are markers of injury, swelling or inflammation. With this information, the Natural Health and Nutrition Clinic can create a customised health plan based on your individual body makeup.
The InBody 570 body scan is non-invasive and only requires you to take your shoes and socks off.

I’m interested … How do I get my body composition done?
If you are seeing me as a patient, InBody assessments can be incorporated into your appointments.
However, if your follow-up visits are infrequent and you would like to measure your progress more regularly, just call and ask for an InBody appointment only. This service is very affordable and is also available if you are not a patient and are just interested in being tested for any of the reasons outlined above.
InBody test preparation instructions
For the most precise measurement, the following guidelines are recommended:
- Hydrate well the day before.

- Do not eat for at least 2 hours prior to testing.
- Do not exercise before testing.
- Use the bathroom before your test.
- Do not shower or sauna immediately before the test.
