DEXA Scan
Discover unparalleled insights into your body composition with a DEXA scan—an advanced tool for analyzing fat, muscle, and bone density.
Discover Your Body’s Blueprint
DEXA scans are a reliable non-invasive quick way to get a precise breakdown of your lean mass, bone density, and total body fat distribution.
Muscle is the organ of longevity. After 40, muscle mass naturally declines. If left unchecked, this leads to slower metabolism, inflammation, cognitive decline, weaker immunity, higher risk of falls and fractures, fatigue, and loss of independence.
Understanding fat type and distribution is crucial. Subcutaneous fat lies just beneath the skin, while visceral fat surrounds internal organs. Excess visceral fat increases the risk of various cancers, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and is linked to a nearly 60% higher risk of death from any cause. A DEXA scan is one of the most reliable ways to measure visceral fat.
Knowing your numbers gives you the information you need in order to change your risk profile and integrate proactive interventions.
How DEXA Scan Works
A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) also known as DXA, is an imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone mineral content, body fat percentage and distribution, and lean muscle mass. It provides a precision analysis of body composition, offering unparalleled insights into your health.

Measure Muscle Mass
Muscle mass is a key modifiable factor for living long and strong. A Dexa provides a benchmark for future measurements, enabling you to see the impact of lifestyle changes over months and years.
Tailor Your Nutrition
A DEXA scan estimates your RMR, measures muscle mass and total fat, helping you customize your nutrition to improve body composition, achieve your goals, and support longevity.
