The Shift Clinic – Redefining Obesity Medicine with Precision Body Composition Tracking
Serving patients across Ontario, The Shift Clinic is a physician-led practice specializing in obesity medicine and women’s metabolic health. Since July 2024, Dr. Ashley White, MD, DipABOM, has integrated the InBody 970 into her in-person clinical assessments to monitor fat loss, muscle preservation, and metabolic risk with greater precision.
Rather than focusing solely on the scale, patients complete baseline scans and follow-ups every 4–12 weeks — allowing the clinic to track meaningful changes in Visceral Fat Area, Skeletal Muscle Mass, ECW/TBW ratio, and BMR.
“In obesity medicine, the scale can be deeply misleading,” says Dr. White.
“The InBody gives patients objective, visual proof that their body composition is improving — even when the scale isn’t moving the way they expect.”
Patients often describe a sense of relief when they see what’s truly happening inside their body.
“It shifts the conversation from shame to science.”
In one case, a patient discouraged by minimal scale change discovered she had lost over four pounds of fat mass while preserving muscle and improving visceral fat levels.
“The scale said almost nothing happened. The InBody told a completely different story.”
As The Shift Clinic prepares to open its new physical location on April 29, 2026, the InBody 970 will be front and centre — supporting their hybrid model of virtual care paired with hands-on metabolic assessment.
