AT A GLANCE
Our body and mind are inseparable and function as an integrated, dynamic whole. Science today is just scratching the surface regarding the wonderfully complex, electro-biochemical communications and interactions within our body-mind. What we do know is that the composition of our physical body has profound impact on how we think, feel and function.
It is far more than a simple chassis or framework to hang our organs in and transport our brain. Yet how informed are you on your body’s actual composition and how it is changing over time? And how well do you understand what your body composition data reveals about your functional health and aging trends? How deeply do you understand how to take care of it, and improve its composition, becoming more vital, stronger, and leaner, as appropriate? This Lab will lay the foundation of understanding you require to take charge of your lifestyle and body composition in important new ways.

HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
- Do you have the shape, weight and physical capabilities you desire?
- Have you been properly equipped to make practical changes in your lifestyle while monitoring how your body composition and function are responding, in real-time?
- How useful will it be to know how your body is responding to changes you make, and to understand how to best adapt to produce the results you want and need?
- Will the ability to quantitatively measure and trend key biomarkers of your body’s composition and shape (muscle, fat, water, and cellular integrity), in combination with access to new, deeper insights on the changes that matter most, lead to:
- New life habits which improve the way you look, feel and function?
- Lower your risk to premature aging and preventable chronic illness?
HYPOTHESIS
We cannot improve on what we do not know. We cannot know what we do not measure. To understand what we measure more effectively, we are best to trend it over time.
Having access to reliable body composition data and learning how to understand it is a total game changer. Being able to monitor how your body changes as you change key habits will change many of your beliefs and clear up many areas that have likely been confusing. There is no teacher like personal experience that you can verify objectively.
