- Track Your Progress with Precision: ShapeScale® Body Analysis
LiveWellMD's Trusted Approach to Body Composition Tracking
Traditional scales only tell part of your wellness story. When you’re working hard to improve your health and fitness, knowing just your weight doesn’t provide the complete picture of your progress. At LiveWellMD, our ShapeScale® technology offers comprehensive body composition analysis that shows exactly how your body is changing, even when your weight stays the same.
With ShapeScale®, you can track body fat percentage, muscle mass, water balance, metabolic age, and numerous other metrics that provide real insight into your health journey. Whether you’re working to build muscle, lose fat, improve athletic performance, or enhance your overall wellness, ShapeScale® gives you the detailed data you need to understand what’s really happening in your body.
Don’t let an ordinary bathroom scale discourage you when you’re making real progress. Schedule your ShapeScale® assessment today and discover the truth about your changing body composition.

- You're working to improve specific health markers related to body composition.

For the most accurate ShapeScale® results, consider these guidelines:
- Try to schedule your assessment at the same time of day for consistent comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ShapeScale® work?
ShapeScale® uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), sending a very small, safe electrical current through your body. Different tissues (muscle, fat, bone) conduct electricity differently, allowing the system to calculate detailed body composition measurements.
How often should I get measured?
For most people tracking fitness or weight management progress, every 2-4 weeks provides a good balance. This gives your body enough time to show measurable changes while providing regular feedback to keep you motivated and on track.
Is ShapeScale® safe?
Yes, ShapeScale® is safe for most adults. The electrical current used is very low and not perceptible. However, if you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, are pregnant, or have certain medical conditions, please let us know, as an alternative assessment method may be recommended.
Will my results be private?
Absolutely. Your assessment takes place in a private setting, and your results are confidential medical information. We take your privacy seriously and only share your data with healthcare providers involved in your care.
How accurate is ShapeScale®?
ShapeScale® provides highly consistent measurements that allow you to track trends and changes over time. While no body composition method is 100% precise, ShapeScale® offers accuracy comparable to other professional-grade BIA systems. For most people focusing on health improvement, the trends and changes over time are more important than the absolute numbers.
