Bio-impedance Analysis

Reclaim your health! Also known as a VLA (vitality, longevity and healthy ageing) test this computerised health analysis provides a highly accurate assessment of your overall health. The state of the art technology was originally developed by the NASA space programme to monitor body composition changes in astronauts and has also been used to track recovery of hospital patients. Qualified naturopaths are now using VLA tests to form a detailed picture of their patients health, develop specific treatment plans and track the progress of an individuals health journey.

Bio-impedance analysis can mea­sure your body composition, including body fat & muscle mass. 

Scientifically Designed Testing to Reveal Your:

  • Ideal Weight
  • Body Mass Index
  • Body Fat Percentage
  • Muscle Mass
  • Body Fat Risk
  • Biological Age
  • Toxicity Level
  • Cellular Health
  • Hydration Level
  • Individual Nutritional Requirements
  • Blood Pressure

The test involves electrodes being attached to your hand and foot that pass a low electrical current through your body. The current will find a pathway through lean tissues that have lower resistance then fat. Although it may sound daunting the test is actually quick and pain free.

Patients who take the bio-impedance test find it to be a very useful health indicator that provides great motivation. The test shows imbalances in the body which can be improved using diet, nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. Our naturopath Cassi Cowlam is trained in bio-imedance analysis and will be able to advise you of the best approach for your specific needs
