Measuring fat, muscle, water, and cellular health gives us a powerful picture of what's truly happening inside your body.

• Fat — Minimizing excess body fat may decrease inflammation, lower insulin resistance, and support long-term muscle health.

• Muscle — Building and maintaining muscle mass as we age may help promote strength, metabolic function, and healthy longevity — even during weight loss.

• Cellular Health — Understanding how well your cells are functioning is a critical and often overlooked marker of how you are truly aging.

 

For these reasons, Shield of Life uses the SECA mBCA Body Composition Scale - validated against whole-body MRI,  a clinical gold standard, in peer-reviewed research. While MRI and DEXA scans are considered the benchmark, they are rarely covered by insurance. The SECA validated against whole body MRI  at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience.
