Scan results are integrated with advanced laboratory data and reviewed by the clinic's registered dietitian, KT Smith, who provides personalised nutrition guidance based on lean mass targets and metabolic markers. Certified personal trainer and stretch therapist Ryan Cho can then build or adjust a training programme using the body composition data as a baseline.
Starting from $150 per scan; package of 2 scans $250; package of 3 scans $350
