Key Metrics and Interpretation
BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
This measures how much of your total weight is made up of fat.
Excess body fat increases your risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, inflammation, low energy, and poor hormone regulation.
VISCERAL FAT INDEX
Visceral fat is deep abdominal fat that wraps around organs like the liver and pancreas.
It’s the most harmful type of fat and is linked to inflammation, heart disease, hormonal issues, and insulin resistance.
LEAN MUSCLE MASS
Total Lean Mass Index shows what percent of your body is lean mass -muscle, organs, and water.
💪 Higher lean mass improves blood sugar control, strength, and lowers injury risk.
APPENDICULAR LEAN MASS INDEX
This measures muscle in your arms and legs—key for strength, mobility, and independence.
📉 Low ALMI increases the risk of falls, weakness, and slower recovery—especially as you get older.
BONE DENSITY INDEX
Bone Density (T-Score & Z-Score) shows how strong your bones are and helps assess your fracture or osteoporosis risk.
🛡️ Strong bones support mobility, reduce falls, and promote healthy aging.

I came in at an all time low in confidence after I tore my meniscus for the second time. I had two opinions already and was fearing another surgery in my future. Carter has been the best thing that’s ever happened to my physical pain and knee pain that’s come from years of overdoing it on the tennis court. They specialize in regenerative medicine and my results have been outstanding. I’m well onto my way to recovery, not to mention a precision draining of my meniscal cyst that came from the tear. Literally everything related to my knees has gotten better since coming here. I will never go anywhere else for knee issues and advise anyone else do the same.

I've been a patient at Optimize You for several years now, and the experience has been consistently excellent. I get my blood work done every 3 months, and their detailed analysis really helps me stay on top of my health. Their testosterone therapy has made a huge difference in my energy levels, focus, and overall well-being. I also regularly do IV treatments, which have helped boost my immune system and improve mental clarity. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about your results. Highly recommend Optimize You to anyone serious about optimizing their health and performance.

Jared is an absolute life saver. I went in as a last resort before back surgery. I had tried EVERYTHING! Chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncture you name it. Just a couple minutes into our first session I knew this would be different. Jared took the time to ask all the right questions and make sure he was catering his approach to my needs. I walked out not only feeling good but feeling hope within a couple of sessions. I was nearly back to walking almost pain-free. I’m still seeing Jared today and feel better every single session. I plan to make this part of my routine for life thank you Jared and optimize you!
