Body Recomposition & Muscle Health in Carmel, Indiana

Body composition is not just about weight. It reflects how your muscle mass, fat mass, metabolic health, and cellular energy systems function together. At The Functional MDs, our body recomposition and muscle health approach focuses on building lean muscle, improving metabolic efficiency, and supporting long-term strength, resilience, and vitality through physician-guided functional medicine care.

What Is Body Recomposition & Muscle Health?

Body recomposition refers to improving the ratio of lean muscle to body fat while supporting metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and cellular energy production. Muscle plays a critical role in blood sugar regulation, hormonal balance, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging.

Conventional approaches often focus only on calories, exercise, or weight loss, without evaluating why muscle loss, fat gain, or metabolic slowdown is occurring. A functional medicine approach examines the internal drivers of body composition change, including hormones, insulin resistance, inflammation, nutrient status, and mitochondrial efficiency.

At The Functional MDs, body recomposition is about restoring the biological systems that allow your body to build muscle, burn fuel efficiently, and maintain strength and metabolic health over time.

Signs You May Benefit From Body Recomposition & Muscle Health Support

Changes in muscle mass and body composition often develop gradually and may occur even in individuals who appear outwardly healthy. Many patients seek care when they notice persistent metabolic or strength-related changes.

  • Loss of Muscle or Strength
    Declining lean muscle mass may reflect hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, or impaired protein synthesis.
  • Difficulty Improving Body Composition
    Persistent fat gain or inability to lose fat can signal metabolic dysfunction or reduced mitochondrial efficiency.
  • Low Energy or Reduced Physical Endurance
    Poor cellular energy production can limit exercise tolerance, recovery, and daily stamina.

  • Blood Sugar Instability or Insulin Resistance
    Fluctuating energy, cravings, or metabolic labs may indicate impaired glucose handling that affects muscle health.
  • Slower Recovery From Exercise or Injury
    Delayed recovery can reflect inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal patterns that impair tissue repair.
