Understanding Bio-Impedance Analysis
Bio-impedance analysis (BIA) is a reliable method of measuring body composition, including percentage of body fat and lean body mass. Measurements are taken with a bio-impedance analyzer, which uses electrodes similar to EKG electrodes. The machine passes a harmless, ultra-low level electrical current through the body. Lean tissue, which is over 70% water, is a good conductor of electrical current. Fatty tissue, low in water, is not. Thus, the resistance to the flow of electrical current measured by the analyzer can be used to calculate body composition. Body bio-impedance analysis is used in preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. A normal distribution of tissue and fluid in the body is associated with immunity, high function, and longevity. An abnormal distribution of tissue is associated with susceptibility, low function, and the effects of disease and aging.

“The FLT program helped me reclaim my health and lose the weight I’ve struggled with for over a decade. Lisa’s patience and encouragement never wavered, even when I doubted myself. Her understanding of health and nutrition and her ability to impart that knowledge were paramount in my success with FLT. Lisa is honest, compassionate and firm, yet friendly in her approach. I’m eternally grateful for her support.”
