Why Body Composition Testing Matters
Starting your wellness journey with OneSite Wellness? Body composition testing is a game-changer. It goes beyond the usual weight and BMI, diving into body fat percentage and lean muscle measurements for a clearer picture of your health.
What’s the Deal with Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage tells you how much of your weight is fat. It's a better health indicator than just weight.(Healthline)
You can use body fat scales at home, which measure resistance to a small electrical current—more resistance means more fat. But for spot-on results, OneSite Wellness uses Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). This tech gives you the lowdown on fat mass, lean mass, and bone density. (Fitnescity)

Keeping Tabs on Lean Muscle
Lean muscle measurements are just as important. They include muscle, organs, bones, and fluids. These measurements tell you if you're eating and exercising right to build muscle. (Steve Grant Health)
Measuring body parts like your waist, hips, arms, legs, and chest can also show changes in body composition. A smaller waist usually means less belly fat, while bigger arms might mean more muscle. (Steve Grant Health)
Sometimes, you might lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, so your weight stays the same. That’s why body composition testing is better than just stepping on a scale.(Steve Grant Health)
At OneSite Wellness, we help you understand these measurements and use them to fine-tune your wellness plan.
Why Hormone Replacement Therapy Rocks
At OneSite Wellness in Charlotte, NC, we get that staying healthy isn’t just about tracking your body stats. It’s about looking at the whole picture, including your hormone levels. Hormones can seriously affect your energy and how good you feel overall.
Boost Your Energy
One big perk of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at OneSite Wellness is that it can give your energy a serious boost. As we get older, our hormone levels drop, making us feel tired and sluggish. HRT can help bring those levels back up, giving you more pep in your step and helping you enjoy life more.
When your hormones are balanced, you’ll have more energy for workouts, making them more effective. This is super helpful if you’re aiming to build muscle or lose fat. Balanced hormones mean you can hit your fitness goals faster and more efficiently.
Feel Better All Around
HRT isn’t just about energy; it can make you feel better in lots of ways. Hormones affect everything from your mood and sleep to how sharp your mind is. Fixing hormonal imbalances with HRT can improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Plus, HRT can help with your metabolism, making it easier to burn fat and build muscle. This means better results from your body composition tracking efforts and a healthier you.
At OneSite Wellness, we’re all about helping you feel your best. Our mix of body composition tracking and personalized treatments like HRT gives you the support you need to hit your wellness goals.
Why Sexual Health Matters
At OneSite Wellness, we get it—sexual health is a big deal. It’s a part of your life that often gets swept under the rug because of fear, anxiety, or just plain embarrassment. But here, we’re all about smashing those walls down and tackling your intimacy concerns head-on with professionalism and care.
Let's Talk Intimacy
Sexual wellness isn’t just about the physical stuff; it’s a huge part of your overall happiness. It impacts your relationships, self-esteem, and how you feel about life in general. That’s why we take your concerns seriously at OneSite Wellness.
Got a low libido? Performance issues? Other sexual health worries? We’re here for you. Our space is safe and confidential, where you can talk openly without feeling judged. Our team knows their stuff and is ready to help you get back on track.

From there, we craft a treatment plan just for you. This might include lifestyle changes, medication, therapy, or other treatments.
Our crew at OneSite Wellness is all about giving you the care you need to boost your sexual health and overall well-being. By tackling your intimacy issues and offering personalized treatment, we aim to help you reclaim your sexual health and move forward with confidence. Choose OneSite Wellness for your sexual health needs because we believe in taking care of the whole you, including your sexual wellness.
Body Composition Testing Methods
At OneSite Wellness, we use cutting-edge tech to get a clear picture of your body composition. This helps us tailor your weight loss plan and keep tabs on your progress. Two popular methods we use are Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA).
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a common way to estimate body composition. Those body fat scales you see? They use BIA to send a tiny electrical impulse through your body. Different tissues resist this impulse differently. The scales then crunch the numbers, factoring in your age, height, and gender to give you an estimate of your body fat. More resistance usually means more fat since fat has less water than muscle.
BIA is popular because it’s easy and accessible. But, the accuracy can vary. A 2016 study showed that while BIA can be accurate with standard formulas, some body fat scales might use less reliable ones, leading to off estimates (Medical News Today).
Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) gives a more detailed look at your body composition. It measures fat mass, lean mass, and bone density with high precision (Fitnescity). DEXA scans can show how fat is distributed in different areas and give a precise measure of visceral fat in the belly, which is linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes (Fitnescity).
But, there are some things to keep in mind with DEXA scans. They are user-friendly and expose you to minimal radiation, but the results can vary depending on the machine and method used. Plus, it can be tricky to scan very obese individuals (NCBI).
At OneSite Wellness, we use these technologies and more to give you the most accurate body composition testing and tracking. With our expert guidance and personalized approach, you can confidently take charge of your wellness journey.
Keeping Track and Hitting Your Goals
At OneSite Wellness, we believe in the power of tracking progress and setting realistic goals. This is where body composition testing and tracking come into play, giving you a clear picture of your journey.
Setting Clear Goals
First things first, you need to set clear, measurable goals. Forget about vague desires like “getting bigger” or “losing weight.” Instead, aim for specific numbers like gaining 10 pounds of muscle or shedding 10 pounds of fat. These targets are measurable and give you a clear direction.
By keeping an eye on your body composition, you can set realistic, time-based goals. For example, you might aim to gain 10 pounds of muscle in 5-6 months or lose 10 pounds of fat in 10-12 weeks. This method helps you set achievable goals and track your progress.
Tweaking Your Diet and Workout
Tracking your body composition changes helps you tweak your diet and workout plans. Sometimes, gaining muscle can lead to unwanted fat gain, and losing fat might result in muscle loss. Monitoring your body composition helps you make adjustments to avoid these pitfalls.
Your wellness journey is more than just tracking changes; it’s about making informed decisions about your diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Regular body composition testing gives you the data you need to adjust your energy intake, macronutrient ratios, and habits to keep moving towards your goals.
Tracking lean muscle measurements through body composition testing can tell you if your energy and protein intake are on point for your muscle gain goals (Steve Grant Health).
To change your body composition successfully, you need to get enough protein, cut calories carefully, build muscle through exercise, and track changes over time.
Your diet and exercise are key to improving your body composition. Keep an eye on your calorie intake, ensure you’re getting enough protein and fiber, stay active (especially with weight training), and get enough sleep (Healthline).
By setting clear goals and continuously adjusting your diet and workout plans based on your body composition data, you can effectively navigate your wellness journey at OneSite Wellness, hitting your health and fitness goals in a sustainable and healthy way.
