How do I explain Health Screen results to a client as a Styku Health Practitioner?

Overview

As a Styku Health Practitioner, your role is to help clients understand their Health Screen results in plain language, connect those results to meaningful health outcomes, and use the data to build a personalized plan. This article provides a framework for that conversation.

Steps

1. Set Context Before Reviewing Results

Before showing any numbers, establish what the scan can and cannot tell them:

Styku provides risk estimates based on clinically validated body shape and composition measurements—not medical diagnoses.
The goal is wellness awareness and early action, not labeling the client with a disease.
These results are a non-invasive first step to identify who should take action before issues escalate.

2. Start with the Health Score

Explain that the Health Score is a summary of their chronic disease risk, calculated from BMI, Trunk-to-Leg Volume Ratio, and Waist Circumference.
Frame the direction clearly: a higher score is better; a lower score indicates elevated risk.
Emphasize that the score is designed to improve over time as body composition improves.

3. Walk Through Each Risk Category

Use plain language to explain each category relevant to the client. Key talking points:

Metabolic risks (e.g., Metabolic Syndrome, insulin resistance, HDL, triglycerides): Explain these as warning signs that the body's ability to regulate blood sugar and fat is under stress. Emphasize that Styku estimates these risks from body shape—no blood draw required.
Cardiorespiratory risks (e.g., hypertension, heart attack, stroke, heart failure): Explain how excess weight forces the heart and arteries to work harder, and how improving composition reduces that burden across the whole circulatory system.
Cancer risks: Explain that excess fat produces hormones and inflammatory signals that can promote certain cancer types. Reducing fat reduces that environment.
Musculoskeletal risks (e.g., sarcopenia, low back pain, osteoarthritis): Connect body composition directly to strength, mobility, and joint health. Highlight that maintaining lean muscle mass is protective against age-related decline.
Longevity/Aging Velocity: Frame this as a forward-looking metric—the scan provides an estimate of how quickly biological aging is occurring relative to chronological age.

4. Address the "My Blood Work Is Fine" Objection

Some clients may push back if they have recent normal blood work. Explain:

"A clean blood test today doesn't cancel out what a body scan reveals about future risk. Research shows that individuals with poor body composition—even with currently healthy blood markers—still face significantly higher risks over time."

5. Build a Personalized Action Plan

Use the results to drive a specific, actionable plan. Tailor recommendations to the client's highest-risk areas, which may include:

Training programs targeting fat reduction and/or muscle preservation
Nutrition guidance focused on improving metabolic health
Additional services appropriate to your scope of practice and the client's needs

Tie the plan back to the Health Score: "Here's what we're working to improve, and we'll track it with your next scan."

Notes

Always stay within your scope of practice. Styku results are a wellness screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument.
Building trust through data interpretation is described as the most important part of the practitioner-client relationship in Healthpass training.
Repeat scans allow clients to see measurable progress, which reinforces engagement and adherence.

If this resolves your issue, no further action is needed.

If the problem persists, contact support and include: your certification module, the specific result or display you need help interpreting, and your software version.
