InBody 520 Body Composition Analysis

See What Your Weight Can’t Tell You About Your HealthInBody Composition

Beyond the scale. Functional insight. Whole‑body clarity.

At Better You Health, Dr. Carolyn Johansen offers professional InBody 520 Body Composition Analysis to reveal what your body is truly made of — and how well it is functioning.

While many people think of this as only a fitness test, InBody analysis provides critical health information that complements your thermography, cardiovascular, and nutritional testing.

This is not just about weight.
It’s about understanding how your body is functioning — and how to improve it.

What Is InBody Body Composition Analysis?

InBody analysis measures the three foundational components of your body:

  • Lean body mass (muscle and organs)

  • Water mass

  • Fat mass

The ratios between these three reveal how efficiently your body is functioning and where imbalances may be limiting your health, metabolism, or energy.

On its own, InBody can guide weight and fitness goals.
Combined with your other functional tests, it becomes a powerful window into whole‑body performance and healing potential.


Why Body Composition Matters

Two people can weigh the same — yet have completely different health profiles.

Body composition shows:

  • How much muscle you carry

  • How much fat is stored (and where)

  • How well hydrated your tissues are

  • How balanced your metabolism may be

These patterns influence:

  • Metabolism and fat burning

  • Insulin sensitivity

  • Inflammation levels

  • Detoxification efficiency

  • Hormonal balance

  • Long‑term cardiovascular risk

Understanding these ratios helps us identify why weight may be resistant, why fatigue persists, or why progress stalls — and what to do about it.


Advanced Technology: The InBody 520 System

At Better You Health, we use the InBody 520, a professional‑grade bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device trusted in medical clinics and performance centers worldwide.

It provides:

  • Rapid testing in under 45 seconds

  • High accuracy without predictive formulas

  • Segmental analysis of arms, legs, and torso

  • Repeatable, reliable tracking over time

The system uses eight‑point tactile electrodes to analyze five body segments independently — two arms, two legs, and the torso — without relying on age, gender, or athletic assumptions.


What the InBody 520 Measures

Core Composition Metrics

  • Total Body Water (TBW)

  • Lean Body Mass

  • Skeletal Muscle Mass

  • Body Fat Mass

  • Soft Lean Mass

Health & Metabolic Indicators

  • Percent Body Fat

  • Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

  • Visceral Fat Level

  • Body Water Balance (ECW/TBW ratio)

Segmental Analysis

  • Muscle distribution in each arm

  • Muscle distribution in each leg

  • Trunk lean mass balance

  • Detection of muscular asymmetries and imbalances


How the Test Works

The InBody 520 sends very mild, safe electrical currents through the body using hand and foot electrodes.

Because:

  • Muscle contains more water

  • Fat contains less water

…the device measures resistance (impedance) to precisely distinguish between:

  • Fat tissue

  • Lean tissue

  • Body water

The process is:

  • Completely painless

  • Radiation‑free

  • Non‑invasive

  • Finished in under one minute


What You Gain From InBody Analysis

After your analysis and review with Dr. Carolyn, you will understand:

  • How much true muscle mass you carry

  • Where fat is distributed in your body

  • Whether water balance is supporting or impairing function

  • How efficient your metabolism may be

  • Why weight or fat loss may be stalled

This allows us to:

  • Design precise nutrition strategies

  • Support muscle preservation and fat loss

  • Address fluid retention or dehydration

  • Improve metabolic efficiency

  • Track true progress beyond the scale


How InBody Complements Your Other Testing

On its own, InBody guides fitness and weight goals.

Combined with:

  • Thermography

  • Nutritional and heavy metal testing

  • Cardiovascular & stress screening

…it becomes a critical piece of your whole‑body functional assessment.

Together, these tests reveal:

  • How structure supports function

  • How metabolism reflects nervous system balance

  • How detoxification and circulation influence body composition

This integrated view allows for far more accurate root‑cause strategies.


Best Practices for Accurate Tracking

For best results, we recommend:

  • Testing under similar conditions each time

  • Morning appointments when possible

  • Testing before eating or exercising

  • Repeating every 2–4 weeks for progress tracking

Proper electrode placement and consistency ensure reliable long‑term trends.

Yes. It uses very low‑level electrical currents and is completely non‑invasive and radiation‑free.

How long does the test take?

The scan takes under 45 seconds.

Can I track progress over time?

Yes. The InBody provides printable color reports that allow accurate tracking of fat loss, muscle gain, and water balance.

Does this replace lab testing?

No. InBody is a functional assessment tool designed to complement lab work and imaging.

Who benefits most from InBody testing?

Anyone working on weight management, metabolic health, muscle preservation, detoxification, or long‑term wellness.
