For clients under age 16

Clients under age 16 must complete an Initial Nutrition Assessment before doing a body composition analysis. If this applies to you, please book a Free Discovery Session with one of our dietitians to discuss this more.

Disclaimer

Body composition analysis using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is not recommended in the following conditions:

• • People with implanted electric medical devices such as pacemakers
  • People who are pregnant

Body Composition Analysis Protocol

For the most accurate results of your body composition analysis, here’s a list of what you need to do beforehand. This protocol will also be sent to you via our online client portal prior to your appointment.

24 hours prior

• • Refrain from strenuous exercise.

12 hours prior

• • Refrain from eating (TIP: bring food to the appointment so you can eat right after).
  • Refrain from any caffeinated or alcoholic beverage.

3-4 hours prior

• • Refrain from drinking large amounts of liquid; however, you may have a few sips of water if you’d like.

Additionally

• • Arrive in a fasted state
  • Please wear light clothing
  • Do not arrive with wet hair
  • Remove all metals
  • Use the restroom before arriving at the Revive Wellness office
  • Stand still for 5 minutes right before the test

Female clients: please ensure that your body composition analysis is booked at a time you are not menstruating as the retention of fluids can compromise the accuracy of the test.
