Your Health in Your Hands. Measure, track, and improve your health. Calculate your body composition.

Did you know BMI was never designed to measure individual health? 🤔

It was created in the 1840s to study population-level statistics and it's barely changed since.

Two measurements, one number, no context about where your fat is stored or what risk it actually poses.

Body Volume Index (BVI) changes that.

Developed over 20 years by a consortium of universities and health organisations, and validated by Mayo Clinic on over 1,000 patients, BVI analyses your body shape and fat distribution using just two photos from your smartphone.

No wearables. No smart scales. Just science. 🔬

Swipe through the carousel to see what BVI measures and why it matters, then download mybvi via the link below.

Running doesn't just burn calories, it changes your body from the inside out. 🏃

↳ 45% lower risk of cardiovascular death
↳ Significantly reduced visceral fat
↳ Better body composition at every age
↳ All from less than 51 minutes a week

But the scales? They won't show you any of it.

This , run for what you can't see. 💙

We often focus on how much we weigh.

But research suggests that where fat is stored may be a better indicator of health risk.

Visceral fat, stored deep around internal organs, is linked to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction.

Yet traditional measures like BMI and weight can't tell us where fat is distributed.

That's why understanding body shape and fat distribution matters.

Scales measure weight. myBVI helps reveal the bigger picture.

Your BMI came back normal. So why does something feel off?

A growing body of research suggests that a normal BMI can mask serious health risks, including excess visceral fat, hidden metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk that standard checks simply don't catch.

Here are 5 things your BMI number can't tell you:

1. Where your fat is stored, not just how much you have
2. Whether you have "normal weight obesity", a real clinical condition
3. Whether that weight is muscle, fat, or a combination of both
4. Whether the thresholds even apply to your ethnicity
5. What your body shape actually looks like

A 2025 study across 471,000 adults in 91 countries found that roughly 1 in 5 people with a normal BMI carry excess abdominal fat and face significantly higher odds of diabetes and hypertension as a result.

The science hasn't stood still. Our measurement tools should keep up.

Most people think crunches are the answer. They're not.

Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and the Mayo Clinic all point to the same conclusion: tackling abdominal fat requires a combination of resistance training and aerobic exercise, not isolated ab work.

The science is clear. Strength training triggers a process that causes visceral fat to shrink.

Cardio lowers the insulin levels that tell your body to hold onto fat.

Together, they're the most effective combination researchers have found.

But here's the thing, you can't manage what you can't measure.
BMI tells you your weight.

It doesn't tell you where your fat is stored. BVI does.

Your scales are lying to you. 📊

Not deliberately. They just can't see what matters most.

Two people can weigh exactly the same. One might be carrying dangerous visceral fat wrapped around their organs. The other won't be. Your weight has no idea which is which.

Your waist does.

The latest research is clear:
→ Every 10cm added to your waist = 11% higher risk of all-cause mortality
→ Waist-to-height ratio now outperforms BMI for predicting heart disease (The Lancet, 2025)
→ Up to 1 in 5 adults have hidden visceral obesity, at a perfectly "normal" weight

The problem? Even a tape measure gets it wrong. The WHO guidelines require measurement at a specific height, accounting for the natural curve of your back. Almost nobody does it that way.

myBVI does.

Two photos. 30 seconds. WHO-compliant waist measurement, visceral fat estimate, waist-to-height ratio, and your BVI score, the health metric that tells the story your scales never will.

Free to download. No equipment needed. Just your phone.

Losing weight on GLP-1?

Make sure you're losing fat, not muscle.

Clinical research shows up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss can come from lean mass.

The scale won't warn you. But your body will.

Swipe to see the red flags and how to track what actually matters. 👆

📲 myBVI uses 3D body scanning from your phone to measure fat vs. lean mass every 2–4 weeks.

No clinic. No guessing.

Most people queue for the quick fix. A few choose to get ahead of it. 🏃‍♀️

Knowing your Body Volume Index gives you a picture of your health that BMI simply can't.

It's not reactive, it's preventative.

⚠️ Did you know the most dangerous fat in your body is completely invisible?

Visceral fat sits deep in your abdomen, wrapped around your liver, stomach, and intestines. Unlike the fat you can pinch, you can't feel it, but it quietly raises your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers.

The good news: it responds well to targeted action.

According to a 2023 meta-analysis of 40 clinical trials, aerobic exercise and HIIT are the most effective ways to reduce visceral fat, outperforming diet alone.

Combined with better sleep, stress management, and smarter eating, the results speak for themselves.

Now you can track your progress from home.

The myBVI app analyses phone photos using clinically validated Body Volume Index technology to estimate your visceral fat levels, no scan, no clinic visit required.
