Metascan
Body composition analysis
Metascan is included in your initial consultation package and is included in all follow up consultations.
As a fully trained, certified Metascan practitioner, I regularly use the latest (Quadscan) Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) medical device in my clinic. This scientifically validated test enables me to design a wellness programme specific to your individual needs, then track progress.
BIA is a science that has been used for monitoring patients in hospital and research settings since the 1980s. The Metascan test is completed in a matter of minutes and is painless. Leads are connected to your hands and feet and low voltage electrical currents are passed through your body. This provides body composition measurements, giving insight into important aspects of your health including cellular health and fluid distribution.
People who may benefit from the Metascan programme include those wishing to:
- Manage their weight more effectively
- Increase muscle tone and fitness
- Improve energy levels
- Support healthy ageing
- Support the nutrition and health of the body.
If you’d prefer, a Metascan assessment and explanation of your take-home report can also be arranged on its own, ie without a full naturopathic consultation and preparation of wellness plan.
Cost of stand-alone Metascan (40 minute initial appointment) $80
Cost of follow-up stand-alone Metascan (30 minute appointment) $60.
A naturopathic approach to health and wellbeing addresses the underlying causes of ill health and supports the body's ability to heal.
Naturopathic medicine can complement and support conventional care. I’m very happy to work alongside your GP and other healthcare providers in a co-ordinated, integrative, holistic way that gives you, at the centre, control over your health.
