Our nutrition services can help you to learn how to balance protein, carbohydrate and fat intake in ways to help curb appetite and renew physical strength. You will learn the importance of phyto-nutritients, vitamins and minerals, and how to ensure proper nutrition intake in your diet. We provide nutrition strategies for weight loss, maintenance, athletic performance and health recovery.

SECA – MEDICAL BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
The Positive Choice Integrative Wellness Center has one of the most sophisticated body analysis machines available on the market today. Much more than just a body fat measurement, the SECA Body Composition Analyzer measures body composition using many frequencies of electro-magnetic waves that allow for accurate body composition measurement equal in accuracy to the gold standards of DEXA, hydrostatic weighing, and the Bod Pod – air displacement. The best part is you don’t have to undress and the test takes only 20 seconds. In addition to determining with accuracy your muscle mass, body fat, and body water composition, the SECA analyzer can also tell you information about the strength in each of your limbs, whether the fluid in your body is in or out side your cells (hydration v.s. water retention), accurately estimates daily caloric needs, and gives a measure on overall cell health – a strong indicator of health status.
Comprehensive Analysis: $55
Provides an in-depth analysis of muscle mass, fat mass, visceral fat, body fluid balance, cellular health, and estimation of calories. The test takes about 2-3 minutes, 20 minutes is spent discussing the results.
Comprehensive Analysis with Fitness Consultation: $95 Receive the Comprehensive SECA Analysis and then spend time with one of our personal trainers. They will help you develop fitness and nutrition strategies based on your SECA results to improve your health status.
30 minute SECA 3 Pack $150
