Understanding Your Body at Every Stage of Life
For many women, health is personal. It’s emotional, physical, hormonal, and always evolving. If you’ve found yourself feeling more tired than usual, noticing new weight changes, or wondering why the scale no longer reflects how you feel, you’re not alone – and you’re certainly not imagining it.
Women’s bodies shift dramatically in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Hormones fluctuate, metabolism slows, muscle mass declines, and stress often impacts the body more than before. But the last thing you should be doing is guessing what’s happening inside your own body.
At Genesis Women’s Health, we believe women deserve real answers — compassionate, clear, and science-based answers that help you feel more in control of your health.
That’s why we offer the
InBody Body Composition Scan, a fast, non-invasive tool that reveals the full picture of your health — far beyond the number on a scale.
Why the Scale Doesn’t Tell the Truth (And Why That’s Not Your Fault)
If you’ve ever stepped on the scale and felt discouraged or confused, please know this: the scale is not giving you the full story.
Weight alone cannot tell you:
- How much of your weight is fat vs. muscle
- Whether you’re retaining water or experiencing inflammation
- How hormones are shifting your fat distribution
- Whether your metabolism is slowing
- How stress, sleep, or aging are affecting your body
This is why so many women say, “I feel different, but my scale isn’t reflecting it.”
What you’re feeling is real — and the InBody scan helps reveal exactly why.
What Is an InBody Body Composition Scan?
The InBody scan is like taking a snapshot of your body’s internal makeup. In less than 60 seconds, it measures:
- Body fat percentage
- Lean muscle mass (total and by body part)
- Visceral fat (belly fat surrounding your organs)
- Total body water and hydration balance
- Basal metabolic rate
- Fat vs. muscle distribution
It’s painless, requires no clothing removal, and gives immediate, easy-to-understand results.
Your body has a story — and this scan helps tell it.
Why This Scan Is Especially Important for Women 30–60+
Hormonal changes can dramatically impact body composition. During perimenopause and menopause, shifting estrogen levels can cause:
- Increased belly fat
- Muscle loss
- Slower metabolism
- Fatigue and low energy
- Bloating and water retention
- Mood swings or sleep issues
The InBody scan highlights these changes in real time. Instead of chalking your symptoms up to “getting older,” you get clear, meaningful answers.
Perfect for Women in Medical Weight-Management Programs
If you’re on a weight-management journey, the InBody scan becomes one of your most powerful tools.
It helps you:
- Track fat loss vs. muscle loss
- See progress even when the scale doesn’t change
- Adjust nutrition and protein intake
- Monitor hydration and inflammation
- Ensure weight loss is happening safely
Many women discover they're making more progress than they realized — the scale simply wasn’t showing it.
What to Expect at Your InBody Scan Appointment
Your visit is simple and comfortable:
- Step onto the device with bare feet.
- Hold the hand electrodes.
- Stand still for 30–45 seconds.
- Receive your printed results instantly.
Your provider will then walk you through the numbers, explain what they mean, and help you understand how your body is changing — without judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an InBody Body Composition Scan measure, and why is it better than a regular scale?
The InBody scan measures your body fat percentage, muscle mass, visceral fat, hydration levels, and metabolic rate — all in under a minute. A regular scale only shows weight, which can’t tell you whether changes are due to fat, muscle, or water. The InBody scan provides a complete, accurate picture of what’s happening inside your body.
Is the InBody scan helpful if I’m going through perimenopause or menopause?
Absolutely. Hormonal changes can cause shifts in fat storage, muscle mass, water retention, and metabolism. The InBody scan reveals whether weight changes are due to fat gain, water retention, or muscle loss, helping your provider personalize a plan that supports you through perimenopause or menopause.
How long does the scan take, and will I get my results immediately?
The scan takes only 30–45 seconds and is completely painless. Your results print instantly, and your provider will review them with you so you fully understand your body composition and what it means for your health.
