Medical-Grade
Body Composition Analysis
Go beyond BMI with our medical-grade SECA mBCA Ultra analyzer. Get precise measurements of muscle mass, body fat, visceral fat, and more in just 24 seconds.
Beyond the Scale: Know What Your Weight Really Means
Your bathroom scale tells you one number - total weight. But that number doesn't tell you if you're gaining muscle or losing it, accumulating dangerous visceral fat, or properly hydrated.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) uses a safe, low-level electrical current to measure your body's composition with medical-grade accuracy. Our SECA mBCA Ultra provides the same precision used in research studies - validated at 97-98% accuracy compared to MRI scans.

Who Should Get Body Composition Analysis?
This test is valuable for anyone who wants to understand and optimize their body composition
Important Note
Patients with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators should not use BIA devices. If you have any implanted electronic devices, please discuss alternative body composition assessment methods with Dr. Rosenberg.
Taking Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro?
GLP-1 medications are remarkably effective for weight loss, but here's what your prescriber might not have told you: studies show 30-40% of the weight you lose could be muscle, not fat.
Muscle is your metabolic engine. Losing it means a slower metabolism, reduced strength, and potentially regaining weight after stopping the medication. Body composition analysis is the only way to know what you're actually losing.
What We Monitor for GLP-1 Patients:
- Skeletal Muscle Mass – Is it being preserved?
- Fat Mass Changes – Are you losing the right tissue?
- Phase Angle – How is your cellular health?
- Metabolic Rate – Is your metabolism staying strong?
Recommended Protocol:
- • Baseline scan before starting medication
- • Follow-up scans every 4-8 weeks
- • Adjustment recommendations based on results
- • Nutrition & exercise optimization to preserve muscle

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is body composition analysis important for GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are highly effective for weight loss, but studies show that 30-40% of the weight lost can be muscle mass rather than fat. This is problematic because muscle is metabolically active tissue - losing it slows your metabolism and can lead to "skinny fat" body composition. Body composition analysis lets us monitor your muscle mass throughout treatment, ensuring you're losing fat while preserving the lean tissue that keeps your metabolism healthy.
Is bioelectrical impedance analysis safe?
Yes, BIA is completely safe. Unlike DEXA scans, there is no radiation exposure. A small, imperceptible electrical current passes through your body to measure tissue resistance. The test is safe for most people, though those with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators should not use BIA devices.
How accurate is the SECA mBCA Ultra?
The SECA mBCA Ultra is medical-grade equipment with 97-98% accuracy when compared to gold-standard MRI measurements. It uses 8-point electrode technology and multiple frequencies for superior precision compared to consumer-grade scales.
How often should I get scanned?
For active tracking, we recommend quarterly scans (every 3 months). This allows enough time to see meaningful changes from diet or exercise programs. For patients on GLP-1 medications, we may recommend more frequent monitoring to ensure muscle preservation. DPC members receive their first annual scan free, with additional scans at just $49 each.
How should I prepare for the scan?
No special preparation is required. For most consistent results, we recommend: maintaining normal hydration, avoiding intense exercise 12 hours before, and scanning at the same time of day when tracking progress. You'll remove shoes and socks for the scan.
What's the difference between this and a bathroom scale?
Consumer scales use 2-4 electrodes and single-frequency measurements, making them highly variable and inaccurate. The SECA mBCA Ultra uses 8 electrodes and multiple frequencies for medical-grade accuracy. It also provides segmental analysis (individual limbs), visceral fat measurement, and detailed body water distribution that home scales cannot measure.
What is Phase Angle and why does it matter?
Phase Angle is a measure of cellular health and integrity. Higher phase angles indicate healthier cell membranes and better overall cellular function. Research has linked phase angle to improved outcomes in numerous health conditions and is considered a marker of biological age. It's particularly useful for tracking the effectiveness of nutrition and exercise interventions.
Will this help me lose weight?
Body composition analysis is a powerful tool for weight management because it shows what's changing - not just total weight. You can see if you're losing fat while maintaining muscle (ideal), or losing muscle along with fat (not ideal). This data helps Dr. Rosenberg optimize your nutrition and exercise plan for better results.
