Body Composition Analysis
Why muscle mass & bone density matter—especially during GLP-1 therapy
You’re not just losing weight. You’re building strength, stability, and long-term resilience.
At Momentum Integrative Wellness, we take a different approach to transformation.
Weight loss may be part of your journey—but it’s not the whole story.
Body composition analysis gives us a more complete picture of your health.
Because what you’re made of—muscle, fat, water, bone—matters more than what you weigh.
ith weight despite doing “everything right” can be a sign of metabolic dysfunction or hormone imbalance—not personal failure. GLP-1 medications are now the first-line medical weight loss therapy, clinically proven to improve insulin resistance, regulate appetite, and support meaningful, sustainable fat loss.

What is Body Composition Analysis?
Body composition analysis is a science-backed method of measuring:
- Lean muscle mass
- Visceral fat (fat surrounding organs)
- Skeletal density
- Overall hydration
- Metabolic age and inflammation indicators
Think of it as a diagnostic mirror—reflecting not just change on the outside, but function beneath the surface.
Why we track muscle and bone—not just pounds
After age 30, we begin losing muscle mass at a rate of 3–8% per decade. That loss accelerates after age 60.
This natural decline—called sarcopenia—has serious implications for:
- Metabolism
- Hormone balance
- Blood sugar regulation
- Mobility and strength
- Fall risk and bone fractures
Muscle isn’t just for athletes. It’s a metabolic organ, a glucose sink, and the safety mechanism that protects your bones, balance, and independence.
how this fits into momentum’s approach
We use high-resolution body composition scans as a core diagnostic in two key journeys:
1. medically guided glp-1 weight loss
GLP-1 therapy can reduce appetite—and that changes how your body responds to food, protein, hydration, and strength training.
We monitor your body composition throughout your protocol to ensure:
✓ You’re losing fat, not muscle
✓ Strength is maintained
✓ Protein intake remains adequate
✓ Hormone and nutrient levels stay optimized
✓ Your long-term vitality is protected
This helps us prevent the most common fear: muscle loss on GLP-1s. Because we’re not guessing—we’re measuring what matters.
2. microdosing peptides for metabolic optimization & longevity
For those using lower-dose GLP-1 therapies over longer timelines—to stabilize appetite, reduce inflammation, or support cardiovascular health—body composition becomes the North Star.
It tells us:
- How your metabolism is trending
- How your body is adapting to reduced inflammation
- Whether cellular fuel use is improving
- If your vitality markers are headed in the right direction
In other words, it becomes a real-time health dashboard—showing us where to calibrate and how to optimize.
why muscle is one of the key biomarkers we track
1. muscle protects your metabolism
It improves insulin sensitivity, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports mitochondrial function—especially essential if GLP-1 reduces food intake.
2. muscle protects your bones
Stronger muscles signal stronger bones. This synergy is especially critical during perimenopause, menopause, and after age 50.
3. muscle protects your longevity
Research shows muscle strength is a stronger predictor of survival than BMI, blood pressure, or cholesterol.
4. protein becomes essential
Appetite naturally decreases on GLP-1s. But your protein needs go up.
Without a protein strategy, your body pulls from muscle—it’s protective, but not sustainable.
We guide you on daily protein goals and digestion timing—so your metabolism stays active, energy stays stable, and strength is preserved.
why body composition > weight loss
The number on the scale can’t tell you:
- If fat loss is visceral or superficial
- Whether you’re burning muscle
- If your bones are holding strength
- How inflammation is influencing your progress
Body composition tells the truth.
It gives insight where the scale can’t—and shows us how health is really happening beneath the surface.
why it matters now more than ever
When muscle, bone, and metabolism are supported, every system improves:
- Blood sugar + insulin resistance
- Energy + mitochondrial function
- Sleep quality
- Inflammation and recovery
- Cognitive clarity
- Hormonal resilience
- Long-term vitality
This is the foundation of next-level health.
This is the version of you who doesn’t just lose weight—but gains strength, stability, and confidence in your own biology.
