BioSignature Body Fat Assessments – What’s all the hype about?

714562BioSignature is a body fat assessment tool which brings together the best of Eastern and Western Medicines to determine an individuals health status via a non invasive body fat reading. Through the testing of the 12 sites an individuals priorities are determined and recommendations are given on what changes need to be made based upon the diagnosed priorities.

Common problems which lead to poor health and weight gain which can be determined and addressed are digestive problems, mineral deficiencies, insulin or cortisol problems, thyroid problems, inability to excrete synthetic toxins from the body. Have a look at some reasons why you store body fat where you store it. Symptoms which may benefit from these assessments are; PCOS, Liver Detoxification, heavy metal detoxification, Type 2 Diabetes, depression, libido issues (Male and Female), Eating Disorders.

Each time a reading is performed information from the 12 sites on the body gives us feedback via a set of ‘coloured priorites’. These priorities allow us to target not just fat loss but overall health problems and refer you out for more specific tests if need be.
