Fit3D Body Scan

Gaining weight can be really frustrating.

And frankly, most people aren’t interested in losing weight; they’re interested in losing fat. You can lose fat when you lose weight, but you will often lose muscle. Without a concentrated effort to lose only fat, muscle loss can be a problem that accompanies weight loss. This is why knowing your body composition can be an important element of the weight loss process. Whether you want to gain weight or lose weight, having knowledge of your body composition will help guide your progress.

Our bodies are composed of fatty tissue as well as lean tissue, like our muscles. We also have the weight of bone, water, and other things (like stool) in our bodies. By doing an accurate body scan that specifically measures each component, you can accurately tell which parts of your body are contributing most to your weight. For example, if you lose 5 pounds, you want to lose 5 pounds of fat, not 5 pounds of lean tissue. But how can you really tell?

Different kinds of body composition testing

You may have had your body fat measured in the past. Skinfold, bio-electrical impedance (BIA), water weighing, and x-ray are all ways to measure your body composition. A body scan, like DEXA, is the simplest, most reliable method available today for the average person. Bio-electrical impedance is very popular, and it does provide an at-home or gym way to monitor progress, but the detail and accuracy of a DEXA body scan can’t be beaten by impedance scales. But DEXA scans can be expensive and difficult to interpret. Enter Fit3D.

So what is Fit3D?

Fit3D weighs your body while taking multiple digital pictures to capture an accurate 360-degree 3D image of your body. Fit3D then, through their proprietary software and official partnership with DEXA, takes hundreds of thousands of DEXA scan results and uses them to provide you with accurate results of your body composition.

Your Fit3D scan results include both data and body imaging. The data you will see includes accurate measurements of the size of your arms, legs, abdomen, neck, and more. A posture analysis alongside a Body Shape Rating which gives you a score based on things like your waist to hip ratio, a measurement highly correlated with metabolic health and disease. One of the greatest things about a Fit3D body scan is the comparison of images from scan to scan. Fit3D body scanner truly provides you with the information you need as you change your body to meet your wellness goals.

Why does it matter where I hold my body fat?

Since Fit3D body scans actually measure the components of your body by taking 100s of pictures before creating a digital reading, you will have an accurate image of your body. You will identify discrepancies from side to side, but you can also see if you are carrying extra weight in your belly versus your hips. You will even be able to see if your balance or posture needs attention.

Even those that are normal weight can carry too much fat in the midsection, and Fit3D allows you to see if this is an area of concern. This increased fat around the midsection is known as central obesity or visceral body fat. Central obesity produces inflammatory fat and is a risk factor for chronic medical conditions. A weight circumference greater than 35 in women and 40 and men is one of the signs of metabolic syndrome, the leading cause of major medical diseases today.

How often should I Fit3D scan?

Testing your body composition annually is an important part of the aging process, but if you’re looking to make immediate changes testing once a quarter or even up to once a month can be very beneficial. Especially while you are losing weight, a regular Fit3D body scan will help you monitor your progress at FAT LOSS and take the focus off of WEIGHT LOSS. With a proper nutrition plan and exercise regimen, you can have the body you desire AT ANY AGE. At AgeWell, we have a private setting for you to do your Fit3D body scan.

Don’t have ED?

Men without true erectile dysfunction can still benefit from VibeMD therapy. Younger patients see improvement in not only erection quality but in stamina, strength, and the recovery time between orgasms. If you experience any of the following, you can benefit from VibeMD treatment:

occasional loss of erection hardness
struggle to maintain a lasting erection
takes a little more time on occasion to get a full erection
less frequent nocturnal erections
less frequent morning erections

The Benefits of Combining VibeMD and Other Treatments

VibeMD therapy is administered to patients over several weeks, often in conjunction with a P-Shot® and hormone therapy for diminishing testosterone levels. The results are much longer-lasting than ED pills because VibeMD Soundwave Therapy is actually stimulating new vascular and nerve growth. Studies have shown that low-intensity sound wave treatments such as VibeMD can stimulate results that last up to two years. That’s a lot of money saved on medication that only treats the surface symptoms of ED!

VibeMD Soundwave Therapy May Reverse the Symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s Disease is a condition in which scar tissue forms under the skin of the penis, causing an unnatural (and often painful) curvature of the penis during an erection. Patients with Peyronie’s Disease can safely undergo VibeMD Soundwave Therapy along with the P-Shot® (PRP Therapy) for significant reversal of the disease. The pain-free, nonsurgical VibeMD and P-Shot procedures help increase circulation and tissue regeneration and break down accumulated scar tissue, enabling the patient to achieve firmer, straighter, and pain-free erections. Men with Peyronie’s Disease benefit most by combining the VibeMD Soundwave and P-Shot® therapies together.

Will it hurt?

You can relax, Dr. Amy Garza is a board-certified anesthesiologist and nitrous oxide is available to all patients who undergo procedures at AgeWell. This can significantly reduce any anxiety that might be associated with the process.
