Yes. Appointments are available both online and in person. Online consultations allow for flexibility while maintaining the same level of structure and clinical oversight.
-
The initial consultation is a comprehensive metabolic assessment. We review your health history, current symptoms, goals, and relevant testing. A personalised plan is developed, and a follow-up appointment is included to review progress and refine your strategy.
-
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a method of quantifying body composition by introducing an electrical current throughout the body.
InBody uses this method to measure body composition, which divides your weight into different components, such as water, lean body mass, and fat mass, to better understand how changes in diet, lifestyle, and training regime are influencing overall body composition.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis measures impedance by applying alternating low-level electrical currents through the water in the body. The InBody measures each segment separately and shows the impedance values of all five cylinders of the body at each frequency in the impedance section of the InBody Result Sheet.
-
Yes. Where appropriate, pathology and functional testing can be arranged and interpreted through a functional lens as part of your care.
