At Vitalia, our understanding of your healthcare issues starts
with gathering information on your health history and your family's
conditions, including your lifestyle, eating habits, exercise,
stress, and exposure to environmental toxins.
Our Naturopathic Doctor will take the time needed for this initial
assessment, which may include a full physical exam.
Before and during treatment, other tests will also be used to
identify sources of illness and ensure proper treatment

Bio-Impedance Analysis:
This is a measurement of body composition – the relative
amounts of lean body mass and body fat – which is a critical
factor in health risks such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes
and more. It also indicates other aspects of health, including
cellular health and water retention.
BIA measures your body’s resistance to a small electrical
current, and provides analysis of your metabolism. This is especially
important when undergoing weight loss therapy, to ensure on-going
health. |
