DEXA / DXA Scans

DEXA Body Scan

A DEXA body scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a quick, non-invasive test that gives you a detailed breakdown of your body composition.

Why is a DEXA Scan so Accurate?

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is considered the gold standard because it shows what your body is really made of—not just the number on the scale.
Instead of guessing, a DEXA scan clearly measures body fat, muscle, and bone density separately, giving you a full picture of your overall health.

Unlike smart scales and fitness trackers that only estimate results, DEXA uses medical-grade imaging for accurate, reliable measurements. This makes it easier to track real progress, set realistic goals, and make confident decisions about your health, wellness, and long-term care

See What the Scale Can’t

Body Composition

DEXA provides a complete breakdown of your body by separating fat, muscle, and bone, giving a clear picture of how your body is truly composed, not just total weight.

Bone Health

DEXA accurately measures bone density, helping assess bone strength and identify early signs of bone loss so you can protect long-term skeletal health.

Lean Muscle Mass

DEXA shows how much lean muscle you have and where it’s located, making it easier to track muscle gain, strength changes, and recovery over time.

Body Fat Percentage

Unlike BMI or scales, DEXA precisely measures body fat percentage, helping you understand whether weight changes come from fat loss or muscle gain.

Visceral Fat (Hidden Fat)

DEXA measures Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) fat surrounding your internal organs that cannot be seen or felt. High visceral fat is linked to heart disease, type II diabetes, metabolic issues, and hormonal imbalance.

Fat Distribution

DEXA shows where fat is stored throughout your body, helping create a more personalized and targeted approach to weight loss, fitness, and overall health.
