New for 2026: Body Composition Scans
How are you tracking your fitness progress?
If you’re like most people, you step on your bathroom scale when you want to assess your health.
But doesn't it feel like none of your plans to get healthier work out the way you expected them to?
Doesn't it seem like that new diet or exercise you've been trying only helps you lose weight temporarily, and sometimes, you end up gaining even more weight?
That's because your bathroom scale is misleading.
Ditch the scale
Weight loss is not the same as fat loss. As we age, we naturally lose some of our heavy, dense muscle mass, and a lower number on the scale doesn’t always mean we’re in peak condition.
The key to physical fitness is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight.
Instead of tracking how heavy you are, use body composition analysis to track how healthy you are.
See what you’re made of
You are much more than one standardized number. Your weight is made up of muscle, fat, bone, and water, and the proportions of these different elements are known as your body composition.
When you take a body composition test on the InBody 380, it shows you how many pounds of muscle, fat, bone, and water you actually have.
Armed with this data, you can make little adjustments that lead to major long-term improvements.
By learning about the balance of muscle mass, body fat, and body water in each of
your limbs and your trunk, you get insight into:
• Your current health status
• Risk of chronic disease
• Which exercise and nutrition plans are most effective for you
What is an InBody 380 scan?
An InBody 380 scan is a quick, non-invasive body composition analysis that goes far beyond the number on the scale. During the scan, you stand barefoot on the device and gently hold the hand electrodes for about 30–60 seconds while a very low-level electrical current (safe and painless) measures how your body is composed.
The results show detailed information including body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, total body water, visceral fat estimate, and segmental muscle and fat distribution (arms, legs, and trunk). This helps us better understand your metabolic health, track changes over time, and tailor recommendations for nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness.
Your personal results are followed using your cell phone number, and with an app if you want to use it. Homestead DPC is the only physician’s office in the Springs with this device!

I want to hike the Incline with a friend on a weekend, keep up with my kids on a bike ride, and feel stronger as I age. And help others do the same. After losing weight with coaching, regular InBody checks have guided my workouts to continue to gain the muscle I need for longevity.
