Written by Dr. Robert Ziltzer, MD, FACP, FAAP, FOMA

At Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, our mission has always been to provide you with the most advanced, science-based tools to help you lose weight safely and effectively — and keep it off for life. Today, I am excited to announce an important upgrade that directly benefits every one of our patients: we have upgraded our body composition analysis equipment to InBody 270.

Body composition has always been an important part of patients’ treatment plan. We have measured body composition at every visit since our inception in 2006 with Tanita body composition scales. The main difference is the wealth of new data and greater accuracy we can obtain from Inbody. This is particularly important due to the risk of loss of lean body mass from GLP1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Beyond the Scale: Why Body Composition Matters

Most people focus on the number they see on a traditional scale — but your weight alone doesn’ttell the whole story. What truly matters is what your weight is made of: body fat, muscle, and water. Understanding your body composition helps us personalize your treatment plan and track the right kind of progress — not just pounds lost, but improvements in health, fitness, and metabolic risk.

The Power of the InBody 270

The InBody 270 is not just another scale. It is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art body composition analyzer that uses advanced bioelectrical impedance technology to accurately measure:

Body fat percentage and fat mass (fat around your organs, which is most closely linked to health risks)
Skeletal muscle mass, specifically in each limb, and in your trunk.
Total body water

At each visit, you’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-read printout — a powerful visual tool that shows exactly how your body is changing over time.

How This Helps You

With the InBody 270, we can:

Tailor your plan more precisely: Adjust nutrition, exercise, and medication based on real data, not guesswork.
Track fat loss vs. muscle gain: Celebrate real improvements in body composition, even if the scale is not moving dramatically.
Motivationand empower: See progress that traditional scales simply cannot show, keeping you engaged and encouraged.

Part of Our Commitment to You

Upgrading to InBody 270 is part of our commitment to bring you the best tools and technology in the field of medical weight management. Combined with physician supervision, personalized counseling, and our proven programs, it helps us provide care that is both cutting-edge and deeply personal.

If you are an existing patient, you will start seeing your new InBody reports at your next visit. If you are considering starting your weight loss journey with us, now is a great time — let us show you how science-backed care makes all the difference.

To learn more or schedule your consultation, call us today!

We look forward to helping you see what is really behind the number on the scale — and guiding you to a healthier, stronger you!

Nick's Story

"I wish I would have come here first. We spend all our time reacting to the next great weight loss tip or program. It might work for a while, but does not last and we end up yo-yoing from one fad to the next – as we gain more weight." Read More

He helped me reach my ideal weight and more importantly maintain it for over 2 years. He has also helped me keep my blood pressure exactly where my internist wanted it. Dr Ziltzer is not only exceptional in weight management but also a truly gifted internet’s. His knowledge, kindness, and dedication are remarkable. I am deeply grateful for his care and recommend him whole heartedly!

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really felt comfortable with Kristen at my initial appointment.  Everyone at the center was caring and friendly, from Bianca, at the front desk, to Lily, who is the MA.  Kristen listened to my frustrations and prior disappointments about what has not worked, and is confident that she can help me achieve my goals of weight loss.  I am looking forward and excited to see the success I will attain.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd lost 20 pounds on my own and struggled to keep it off.  I decided GLP-1 meds were the next step in losing more and keeping it off.  I wanted a medical doctor supervised program and chose SWLC. I am so very glad I did!  The team in Glendale is so supportive and kind; and when I feel discouraged, they pick me up with positive energy and input.  They really do a great job with encouragement all the time. 6 weeks in I've lost 17 pounds, and am approaching weight loss with a very new perspective.  Also knowing that when I reach my target goal, they'll be there through maintenance and beyond is encouraging as well.  Good to not feel alone on this journey.
