Discover the missing pieces to your ongoing health and wellbeing.
Your Glow Naturopath is one of a small group of Healthcare Professionals who have received extensive training in Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) which is a quick, safe and non-invasive screening of the body to ascertain body composition and cellular health. This makes them well equipped to help you achieve your weight loss and health goals.
Metascan is a system Glow offers that gives us all of the tools to help you maximise your ongoing health and wellbeing.
The Quadscan BIA device is TGA registered and measures cellular health, nutritional status and fluid shifts in and out of the cells. This device is used extensively within international diabetes, obesity and renal clinics, and hospital ICU and oncology wards for lymphedema monitoring.
Quadscan measures biomarkers of health, including muscle, fat and energy production. These biomarkers will tell you many things about your health including body fat levels, energy, toxicity, inflammation and response to treatment.
Determine if part of your weight is in fact fluid and how you can improve fluid balance.
Discover your muscle mass levels and if you need to in fact gain muscle in weight, whilst losing fat and fluid.

How does Quadscan Bioimpedance technology differ from bioimpedance scales?
Quadscan is a far more accurate way to measure body fat, muscle and fluid levels than bioimpedance scales you stand on or hold. Scales or hand held body fat monitors do not send the current evenly throughout the entire body, with usually the upper part of the body not measured when using scales and vice versa with hand held devices.
However, with Quadscan Bioimpedance, you lie flat on a treatment table to stabilise fluid levels and the current is run through your upper and lower body via the foot and hand. This is far superior technology for accurate measurement of fat, muscle and the key biomarkers of ageing.
Most scales also only send one current through the body whereas Quadscan sends four currents.
Example of VLA reports
The scales lie!
As you can see from the above report, this client needs to lose 4.35 kilos of fat to be at an ideal range for her frame size, height and gender however she needs to increase her Active Tissue Mass (muscle) by 1.12 kilos to have adequate muscle mass.
Thus she needs to lose 4.35 kilos in fat but GAIN 1.12 kilos in muscle weight.
The Metascan Quadscan report may also reveal someone is holding excess fluid, again affecting their weight by the scales.
When you only rely on scales as your progress guide, you can be easily discouraged.
That’s why for accurate measurement of your weight loss you should consult a Glow naturopath who always utilises Quadscan BIA technology.
