The most time that a Bioimpedance Analysis requires is spent on preparing for the test. You’ll need to wear loose, comfortable clothes so that your provider can place two adhesive skin electrodes on your hand and foot on one side. We connect these measuring instruments by cables. Once everything is ready, the test itself only takes a few seconds. Results are analyzed by a computer program, and that delivers your Bioimpedance Analysis report. Preparing the test and performing the evaluation generally takes around 5 minutes.






Functional Medicine in Fargo and Fergus Falls
THE CONSULTATION PROCESS
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Successful functional medicine in Fargo and Fergus Falls starts by getting to know you, your concerns, and your vision for a healthy future. The more we know, the better we can cure.


The Consultation Process
Step 1
Your first step to living a healthier, happier life with less pain, better mental acuity, and more joy is a complimentary 10-minute Discovery Call to understand how our team will guide your next steps. You can talk about what you’re feeling and where it hurts. From there, we can see if REVIV Medical is the right fit for you.
Step 2
If functional medicine in Fargo and Fergus Falls is right for you, we’ll schedule your initial consultation. Your REVIV Medical provider will take a deeper dive into your concerns, examining issue areas and taking samples for testing as needed. When the necessary information is in hand, we’ll discuss treatment plans to restore your health, wellness, and vitality.
Step 3
Time for your treatments! Our integrative medicine approach combines modern, proven treatment techniques from Western medicine and traditional medicine disciplines. This holistic approach takes on issues at their source, treating not only the symptoms, but the problems causing them as well. Your whole being—physical, mental, and emotional—is taken into account for whole-person healing.
Step 4
When you have achieved relief from your issues, we’re still here for you. As your body adjusts to improved wellness, other issues previously overshadowed may arise. You might also want maintenance visits to help ensure continued success. Your health is your journey, and you’re in the driver’s seat. We’re by your side, guiding when needed and supporting you always.
Bioimpedance Analysis
Step 1
Your REVIV provider will attach comfortable electrodes at specific locations on your body, which help map the route for the current to pass.
Step 2
A painless, safe, low-level electrical current is delivered through one electrode, while the other electrode receives the current.
Step 3
Different tissues pass the electrical current at specific speeds. Fat is more resistant than muscle or water, so a higher resistance indicates a higher body fat percentage.

Body Composition Testing
We use your body composition testing results to evaluate the specific components of your weight. Rather than using BMI or weight as a measurement, your REVIV provider can use body composition testing to understand how much of your weight is fat, protein, minerals, and body water. We can discover how much of your weight is healthy weight and more accurately understand your overall health situation.

Dr Ala and staff are so wonderful. They are kind and helpful. The treatment I received from Dr. Ala brought me back from a brain injury that left me like a zombie. I was pretty much a shell and even though I was inside screaming I couldn’t come out and say anything. At Clarity Brain Centers she helped me come back as much as my brain would let me. I have been functioning but still having problems with not having the energy and also having the migraines. I have had those since I was a 3rd grader. Since the head injury the migraines were worse. Lately they were so bad that I couldn’t go a week without them. That is when I started with Cereset! I have been migraine FREE for 2 WEEKS! I am feeling more like me than I have in years. Dr. Ala brought that to me as well. I am under her care for that also. I would give them a million stars if I could. Thank you is just not good enough words to say to them. They have given me my life back and I am not done healing yet it is only going to get better from here!
