What is a DEXA Scan?

DEXA offers one of the most accurate and detailed views of your body composition available today—breaking down fat, muscle, and bone density by region. It goes far beyond weight or BMI to reveal how your body is structured, where you're storing fat, and how that may impact performance, aging, and metabolic health.

What to Expect

From prep to post-scan, here’s how your DEXA appointment works:

• Before You Arrive: You’ll receive simple prep instructions—typically a short fast and avoiding calcium the day before. Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

• During the Scan: Lie still as our DEXA scanner captures clinical-grade data on fat, muscle, and bone density. The scan is painless and takes under 10 minutes.

• Review & Apply Your Results: Right after your scan, a clinician will walk you through your results. You’ll leave with a full report in hand—and a clear baseline to guide training, nutrition, or long-term health goals.

What Can This Support?

• Body Fat %: Know your true body fat—not just weight or BMI—to assess health risks more accurately.

• Lean Muscle Mass: See how much muscle you carry and where—critical for strength, metabolism, and aging well.

• Bone Density: Detect early signs of bone loss to reduce long-term risk of injury or fracture.

• Visceral Fat: Measure the fat around your organs—closely linked to inflammation and chronic disease.

• Regional Fat Distribution: Understand where your body stores fat and how it shifts over time.

• Progress Benchmarking: Establish a measurable baseline to track meaningful change with future scans.
