Metabolic & Body Composition Testing

See the bigger picture.

Lab work and body composition measurements help your provider understand more than total weight.

The scale only tells you how much you weigh. It doesn’t tell you the whole story. Core can use lab work and body composition information to develop a clearer picture of your health and track meaningful changes over time. Depending on your individual evaluation, testing may help your provider assess factors related to metabolic and overall health. Body composition testing can also provide information beyond pounds lost, including changes in areas such as body fat and lean mass, depending on the testing method used. Why does this matter? Because two people who weigh exactly the same can have very different body compositions and health considerations. Tracking more than body weight can help create a more informed approach to weight management. This also gives Core a great opportunity to talk about protecting muscle while losing weight, which is especially relevant when discussing significant weight loss.

Your provider will discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and monitoring. Treatment eligibility and recommendations are individualized. Results vary.
