Real-Life Scenario: How the InBody 580 Changed the Game

Patient Profile:
Melissa, 36, comes in frustrated. She's been working out 4–5 times a week, eating “clean,” and has even lost 6 pounds over 2 months—but she feels bloated, fatigued, and still can’t zip up her old jeans.

Old model:
A standard scale would say “Great job! You lost weight.”
But… what exactly did she lose? Was it fat or muscle? Why are her energy levels still low?


What the InBody 580 Revealed:

  • Skeletal Muscle Mass: Decreased by 2.5 lbs

  • Visceral Fat: Still elevated at 160 cm²

  • ECW/TBW Ratio: 0.390 (sign of inflammation)

  • BMR: Lower than expected for her size (metabolism slowed)


How It Changed Her Protocol:

  • Adjusted her workouts: less cardio, more resistance training

  • Modified her macros to prioritize protein and anti-inflammatory fats

  • Added mitochondrial + adrenal support supplements

  • Introduced targeted detox and gut repair due to water imbalance and bloat

  • Tracked improvements in muscle mass and visceral fat every 3–4 weeks


The Outcome:

Over the next 8 weeks:

  • Her muscle mass rebounded

  • Visceral fat dropped by 20%

  • Her energy came back, and she was no longer dieting blindly

  • Clothes fit better even before the scale dropped much more


Final Message:

The InBody 580 helped us see what the mirror and the scale couldn’t.
It gave us clarity—and a personalized protocol that worked. $49.99 per scan (standalone or added to your treatment plan)
