From Data to Dialogue: Coaching with Body Composition in Functional Medicine

Go beyond weight to unlock the full picture of health in functional medicine.

A single number on the scale can’t capture the complexity of metabolic health—but body composition can.

In this on-demand webinar, Monique Class, MS, APRN-BC, IFMCP—senior faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine and Director of Coaching Development at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy—shows how to translate body composition data into powerful coaching conversations across the lifespan, with a focus on women’s health.

Learn how validated measures like visceral adipose tissue and phase angle bring new depth to functional medicine practice and patient motivation.

After watching, you’ll be able to:

• Recognize the value of body composition in holistic, integrative care beyond weight or BMI.

• Understand why MRI-validated visceral fat is essential in identifying metabolic risk—particularly for midlife women.

• Apply phase angle and cellular health insights to guide conversations about vitality, resilience, and healthy aging.

• Use body composition trends to motivate, personalize care plans, and empower lasting lifestyle change.

Whether you’re coaching patients through chronic disease, women’s health transitions, or preventive care, this session equips you with both the science and strategies to connect data to dialogue.
