Bioimpedance Analysis Testing
Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive assessment to provide a comprehensive snapshot of whole-body health, not just weight. It works by sending a safe, low-level electrical current through the body to measure how different tissues respond.
What BIA Measures
Body Fat Percentage – Evaluates overall fat composition and metabolic risk
Lean Muscle Mass – Indicates strength, mobility, and metabolic efficiency
Total Body Water – Reflects hydration status and cellular health
Visceral Fat – Assesses deep abdominal fat linked to inflammation and chronic disease
Phase Angle – A key biomarker of cellular integrity, resilience, and vitality
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – Estimates daily energy needs at rest
Why It’s Holistic
Biomarker’s BIA testing goes beyond aesthetics by:
Tracking cellular health, not just body size
Supporting personalized nutrition, fitness, and longevity planning
Monitoring progress over time, especially during lifestyle or therapeutic interventions
Helping identify early imbalances before symptoms appear
This makes BIA a valuable tool for preventive, functional, and performance-based health programs.
An example of a BIA test
Body Fat Balance
Indicates a functional fat range with room for gentle optimization.
Lean Muscle
Reflects strong muscular support for metabolism, strength, and longevity.
Hydration
Shows balanced cellular hydration, supporting energy and nutrient transport.
Visceral Fat
Suggests moderate internal fat levels that may benefit from lifestyle support.
Phase Angle
Reflects strong cellular resilience and efficient cell-to-cell communication.
Metabolic Health
Indicates steady metabolic function with capacity for further optimization.
These insights reflect current physiological trends and are intended to support personalized wellness planning, not medical diagnosis.
Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) results can be favorably influenced through individualized nutrition strategies and targeted lifestyle modifications.
