Far more than a scale!
Step on the InBody and get off with the numbers that make up your body.

Why Is Body Composition Important To Measure?
Body composition is used by health professionals to evaluate a person’s weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water.
It describes your healthy weight more accurately and provides a better glimpse into your overall health than traditional methods like BMI & weight.
Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage.

Why Is Body Composition Important To Measure?
Most diet and fitness goals focus on weight loss or gain, overlooking that two people of the same sex and body weight may look completely different from each other because they have different body compositions. Measuring your body composition will tell you your own body’s unique makeup and help you identify areas to work on to improve your overall health and wellness.
Getting a better insight into your overall wellness starts with measuring your body composition and going beyond the number on the scale. You will know whether you need to gain more lean mass or lower body fat percentage to achieve a healthy body composition and a better level of health.

Why Do You Need To Understand Your Weight in Terms of Muscle and Fat Mass?
You may be aware of the healthy weight ranges, but how do you get there? If you only focus on losing weight, you may end up losing muscle mass and eventually sabotage your efforts.
By differentiating between muscle and body fat, body composition removes the guesswork of determining what your weight fluctuations mean, be it muscle gain, body fat loss, or anything in between.
Whatever your goals may be, an important thing to keep in mind during your health journey is there’s more to being healthy than looking thin.

How to Decode Your Cravings (and What They Really Mean)
How to Decode Your Cravings (and What They Really Mean)
Can you believe it’s November already?
It’s the season of comfort food, sweet treats, and cozy meals, and for many of us, that also means cravings start to hit hard.
You’re fine one minute, and the next, you’re standing in the kitchen, staring down the snacks like it’s a showdown.
But here’s the truth: cravings aren’t random. They’re messages, little signals from your body, brain, or nervous system trying to tell you something.
Once you learn to decode them, you can respond in a way that actually works (instead of just relying on willpower).
Sweet Cravings
What it could mean:
Your blood sugar or energy dipped (especially mid-afternoon)
You didn’t eat enough protein earlier in the day
You’re craving emotional comfort
Quick fix: Pair a naturally sweet food with protein or fiber to balance blood sugar.
Try: Greek yogurt with berries and cinnamon, or an apple with almond butter.
Bonus: A brisk 5-minute walk can boost your energy and burn off stress.
Salty or Crunchy Cravings
What it could mean:
You’re stressed or “on edge”, crunching feels soothing
You’re low on minerals like magnesium or sodium
You might just be dehydrated
Quick fix: Sip a glass of water with electrolytes or a pinch of sea salt.
Try: Roasted edamame or lightly salted pumpkin seeds.
Carb-Heavy Cravings (bread, chips, pasta)
What it could mean:
Low serotonin (comfort foods trigger it)
Hormonal shifts
You’re under-eating or skipping meals
You’re thirsty, dehydration can mimic hunger
Quick fix: Drink water first, then grab a balanced snack with protein + slow carbs.
Try: Whole-grain toast with avocado and turkey, or brown rice with chicken.
Late-Night Wine or Sugar Cravings
What it could mean:
Nervous system overload (“I need to turn my brain off”)
Fatigue disguised as hunger
A habit that signals “my day is over”
Quick fix: Replace the habit loop.
Try: Herbal tea with honey, a square of dark chocolate with almonds, or a short pre-bed stretch.
Cravings are cues, not enemies. When you respond to why they’re showing up, you’ll find it much easier to stay consistent without restriction or guilt.
