Dr. Nina Crowley sits down with Dr. Grant Tinsley, director of the Energy Balance and Body Composition Laboratory at Texas Tech University, to discuss the complexities of body composition assessments.

They cover key terminologies, such as the differences between fat-free mass, lean body mass, and skeletal muscle mass. They also delve into the challenges of identifying "gold standard" measurements and explore how bioimpedance can be used effectively in clinical settings when applied with proper methodology. The conversation focuses on dispelling common myths, explaining the nuances of body composition terminology, and emphasizing the importance of standardization in assessments for accurately tracking changes over time.
