Welcome to MaxLife Weight Loss and Body Balancing
More accurate than BMI
The Body Mass Index has long been under fire for providing inaccurate results. When you want to pursue real, sustainable weight loss, you need a better system. At MaxLife Weight Loss and Body Balancing, we offer body composition analysis in Overland Park using the InBody system to provide our patients with more accurate data.
No two bodies are the same. Body composition analysis allows us to understand your body and its unique makeup and customize your fitness plans to your needs. The InBody system quickly measures fat, muscle mass, and water and provides a full printout to help you understand your body’s metrics in real time.
With regular check-ins, we can track your progress and deliver actionable recommendations based on your body’s composition.

What to Expect
The Body Composition Analysis Process
1
Step 1: Consultation
Before you receive your body composition test, we will sit down with you in a consultation to thoroughly discuss your health history, weight issues, and current goals. We review your medications and give you a complete overview of what to expect and how to prepare for your body composition analysis.

Step 2: Body Composition Test
You should prepare for your body composition test with a few, easy-to-follow steps such as not eating, exercising, showering, or consuming alcohol or caffeine in the hours before your test. When you step onto the scale, you will align your feet with the foot electrodes, put your thumbs on the oval electrodes, and keep still until the process is complete. Our specialist will be there to guide you through the analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a body composition test safe?
-
Yes, the test is completely safe! It’s non-invasive and sends gentle electric currents you can’t even feel to analyze your body.
- How often should I do a body composition test?
-
We recommend taking a body composition analysis every 2 to 4 weeks to accurately monitor your health progress.
- Why does my weight fluctuate so much over a day?
-
Your weight fluctuates depending on how many meals and how much water you’ve had that day, as well as other factors, including exercise, bowel movements, and menstrual cycles. The body composition analysis gives you the most accurate picture of your body since it can account for factors like these in your results. We advise taking your recurrent tests under the same testing conditions for the highest accuracy.
