Prepare properly, get accurate results

Cannot be pregnant, over ~350 lbs, or have had a GI contrast/radionuclide procedure within 7 days.

• Skip an intense workout the same day (80%+ max HR for 12+ minutes triggers afterburn/EPOC, which can affect readings for up to 48 hours).
• Drink normal amounts of water — no special hydration protocol needed.
• No fasting required, but avoid a large meal 1–2 hours prior.
• Wear workout or casual clothing with minimal metal — small zippers/rivets are fine.
• Empty your pockets and remove watches, belts, glasses, and jewelry before scanning.
• Remove your shoes; socks are fine.

For clients around 250 lbs+, a left-arm or visceral fat reading can't always be guaranteed due to scanner limitations.

• No intense exercise within 24 hours prior — afterburn can elevate your metabolism for up to 48 hours.
• No caffeine, other stimulants, depressants, or smoking on the day of your test.
• Workout, casual, or business clothing is fine — you'll simply relax in a chair.
• Get a normal night's sleep beforehand.

• Avoid a large meal a few hours before testing; arrive fasted for best results (at least 3 hours).
• If also booking RMR same day, fast the required 5–6 hours for that test instead.
• No exercise the day of your test — come in with fresh legs.
• Skip caffeine and stimulants on test day.
• Wear (or bring) workout clothes and athletic shoes.

No other special preparation is required. The assessment is quick, seated, and non-invasive.

• We'll show you how to run the scan — you complete it yourself with a quick profile setup.
• Wear tighter-fitting clothing so the device accurately captures your body.
• Put your hair up for a more accurate neck measurement.
• The scan itself takes about 30 seconds; allow 15–30 minutes total with setup.
• Your report is emailed directly to you — we don't review it with you in person.
