Precision Body Composition Analysis
InBody Scans in Brentwood, TN
At Relive Health Brentwood, we believe true wellness goes far beyond the number on the scale. Your weight alone cannot tell the full story of your health. That is why our Medical Weight Loss programs utilize the InBody scan.
Prescribed by certified NPs, PAs & Medical Doctors.
What Does An InBody Scan Measure?
The InBody system provides a comprehensive look at your internal health. In less than a minute, this advanced technology maps out your unique body composition, giving you and your provider a clear baseline to work from.
A standard scan measures:
How The InBody Technology Works
The InBody uses a process called Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA). While that sounds complex, the experience is incredibly simple.
When you stand on the device and hold the hand sensors, the InBody sends safe, low-level electrical currents through your body. Because muscle, fat, and water all resist these currents differently, the machine can precisely calculate the volume of each tissue type. Unlike older methods, the InBody measures your body in five distinct segments (each arm, each leg, and your trunk) to provide highly accurate, localized data without relying on generic age or gender estimations.
The InBody Assessment Process in Brentwood, TN
Step On
Visit Relive Health Brentwood and hop on the InBody device. It’s quick, easy, and done in minutes.
For the most accurate results, we recommend testing before a workout, on an empty stomach, and fully hydrated. You will simply remove your shoes and socks before stepping onto the device.
Scan In Seconds
The InBody device quickly measures body fat, muscle mass, water weight, and more, with medical-grade accuracy.
You will stand on the footpads, grip the hand sensors, and remain still for about 45 to 60 seconds while the device completes its analysis. It is completely painless and non-invasive.
Track Anywhere
Your results sync to your account. Track progress over time, wherever you scan.
Your results are printed immediately. One of our wellness providers will sit down with you to review the data line by line and explain exactly what your numbers mean for your health.
Actionable Planning
We use your baseline metrics to tailor your Medical Weight Loss protocol, adjust your peptide therapy, or refine your nutritional plan.
We typically recommend follow-up scans every four to six weeks to track your progress and ensure your body is responding optimally.
Who Should Get An InBody Scan?
Understanding your body composition is a crucial step for anyone serious about their health. This assessment is highly recommended for:
- Individuals Starting A Weight Loss Journey: Stop guessing with a traditional scale. Get a precise baseline so you can ensure you are losing fat, not valuable muscle.
- Fitness Enthusiasts: Track your skeletal muscle growth and identify muscular imbalances between the right and left sides of your body.
- Those Experiencing Plateaus: If your progress has stalled, a scan can reveal shifts in your basal metabolic rate or hydration levels that may be holding you back.
- Adults Focused On Longevity: Monitoring your visceral fat and maintaining lean muscle mass are two of the most important factors in healthy aging.

Frequently Asked Questions About InBody Scans
What Is An InBody Scan?
An InBody scan is a quick, non-invasive test that uses advanced bioelectrical impedance technology to accurately measure your body composition, including your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water distribution.
How Accurate Is The InBody Scan?
The InBody is widely considered one of the most accurate bioelectrical impedance analyzers available. It has been validated against gold-standard methods like DEXA scans and uses direct segmental measurements rather than relying on generic population averages.
How Should I Prepare For My InBody Assessment?
For the most accurate reading, you should test on an empty stomach, ideally before you exercise for the day. Ensure you are well-hydrated, and avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol right before your appointment. You will need to remove your shoes and socks for the test.
Can I Exercise Before My InBody Scan?
We strongly recommend testing before you work out. Exercise increases blood flow and can alter your body water distribution, which may temporarily affect the accuracy of your muscle and fat measurements.
How Long Does The InBody Scan Take?
The physical scan itself takes less than 60 seconds. The entire process, including reviewing your results with our Brentwood team, typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
How Often Should I Get Scanned?
If you are actively participating in our Medical Weight Loss program or making significant lifestyle changes, we generally recommend getting scanned every four to six weeks to accurately track your progress.
Is The InBody Scan Safe?
Yes, the test is completely safe and painless. However, because it uses mild electrical currents, it is not recommended for individuals with pacemakers or other implanted medical devices, or for women who are pregnant.
What Is Visceral Fat And Why Does It Matter?
Visceral fat is the internal fat that surrounds your vital organs. Unlike subcutaneous fat (the fat just under your skin), high levels of visceral fat are strongly linked to metabolic issues and cardiovascular risks. The InBody scan accurately measures this so we can help you reduce it.
Will My Hydration Levels Affect The Results?
Yes, your total body water plays a significant role in the analysis. Being severely dehydrated or overly hydrated can slightly skew the results. We recommend maintaining your normal, healthy hydration habits in the days leading up to your scan.
How Does This Differ From A Standard Scale?
A traditional scale only tells you your total weight, which can fluctuate daily based on water retention or digestion. It cannot differentiate between fat and muscle. The InBody scan breaks your weight down into its specific components, allowing you to see exactly what you are losing or gaining.
