Body Composition & Glucose Monitoring in Kansas City.
Your weight on a scale says very little about your health. A SECA body composition scan and continuous glucose monitoring show what your body is made of and how it responds to food each day.
Better Data Than a Bathroom Scale.
Two people at the same weight can have very different health risks. One may carry healthy muscle, while the other carries visceral fat around the organs, which is linked to diabetes and heart disease. The SECA medical body composition analyzer measures muscle, fat, visceral fat and hydration in under a minute. Continuous glucose monitoring adds a second layer by tracking blood sugar around the clock for about two weeks. Together they show how your meals, sleep, stress and exercise affect your metabolism. Scans take place at our clinic in the 64157 area, and repeat measurements show your progress clearly over time.
What a SECA Scan Measures
The scan reports skeletal muscle, body fat percentage, visceral fat, total body water and phase angle, a marker of cell health. It’s quick, painless and uses no radiation.
Why Visceral Fat Matters
Fat stored deep in the abdomen is more metabolically active and more harmful than fat under the skin. Measuring it helps us target the risk that matters most.
How a CGM Works
A small sensor on the back of your arm reads glucose every few minutes and sends the data to your phone. Most patients forget it’s there within a day.
Learning From Your Glucose Data
You’ll see which meals spike your blood sugar and which ones keep it steady. Dr. Nedeau reviews the patterns with you and turns them into clear food and timing changes.
Tracking Progress Over Time
Repeat scans show whether you’re building muscle and losing fat, even when the scale doesn’t change. They’re especially useful during weight loss or hormone therapy.
