Body Composition Testing in Washington DC

This type of testing looks at more than just weight. It measures fat, muscle, and metabolism to give you (and your provider) a clear picture of your body. With this crystal-clear picture, your Revolution Medicine provider can recommend a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and meets your goals.

This noninvasive testing method can help you understand how much of your weight comes from fat versus muscle. Your metabolism plays a big role in how your body responds to food and exercise, with body composition testing telling you whether you’re burning calories efficiently. Also, even if the scale isn’t moving, you can still be making progress you may not see. This type of testing tells us (in great detail) what’s happening below the surface.

With the data from your body composition testing in Washington DC, we create a personalized, evidence-based care plan that works for you. Instead of guessing if your efforts are paying off, you’ll have real insights (and a team) that guide you toward your goals.

What’s happening inside your body is just as important (if not more) than seeing the number on a scale dropping. This test helps uncover hidden factors that affect your metabolism, fitness, and long-term wellness.

We can assess:

• Visceral Fat Levels: This is the fat your body stores deep around your organs and it can impact heart health, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Even if you’re at a “normal” weight, excess visceral fat could be putting your health at risk.
• Muscle-to-Fat Ratio: Do you know if you’re losing fat, muscle, or both? Body composition testing ensures your weight loss is healthy, protecting your strength and metabolism.
• Metabolic Efficiency: How well does your body burn calories? Your metabolism plays a key role in how easily you lose or gain weight, and this test gives us the data to optimize your plan.

In Washington DC, at Revolution Medicine, Health, and Fitness, we can recommend a steady testing schedule based on your treatment plan. If you’re actively losing weight or building muscle, testing every 3 months helps track changes and fine-tune your plan. For maintenance, we typically suggest testing every 3 to 6 months to give you and your team an idea of how much you progress.
