A DEXA Scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a highly accurate, non-invasive tool for analyzing body composition and estimating bone density. In just 6 minutes, you’ll gain detailed insights into your overall health—including metrics like visceral fat, a key indicator of metabolic risk. These results empower you to make informed choices about your diet, exercise, and lifestyle, helping you optimize your body composition and support long-term wellness.

With an estimated 1–2% margin of error, DEXA whole body scanning is considered one of the most accurate and detailed tools available for measuring body composition, including visceral fat, muscle mass, and bone density.
A DEXA scan goes beyond weight alone by distinguishing between body fat, lean muscle, and bone mass. This deeper level of insight can help support more informed nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle decisions over time.
Visceral fat is linked to increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other chronic conditions. By identifying hidden metabolic risk earlier, DEXA scanning can help guide proactive lifestyle changes and long-term health goals.
A whole body composition scan is a non-invasive test using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) technology to measure fat mass, muscle mass, and estimated bone density across the entire body. It is considered the gold standard for measuring body composition.
It provides detailed data on:
-Total body fat percentage
-Regional fat distribution (e.g., android (central) vs. gynoid (lower body))
-Lean muscle mass
-Bone mineral content, an estimated T score (not meant to replace a full, formal DEXA scan to assess and diagnose bone loss)
-Visceral adipose tissue (VAT)
A standard DEXA scan typically focuses on bone density in specific areas like the spine and hip. A whole body composition scan provides a full-body map of fat, muscle, and bone.
DEXA scanning is considered safe for most people, as it uses very low doses of ionizing radiation—comparable to a few hours of natural background exposure, like working in your garden.
A DEXA scan helps you establish a clearer baseline and track meaningful changes over time. Whether you’re focused on prevention, fitness, weight management, or improving metabolic health, ongoing scans can help you better understand how your body is responding to lifestyle and treatment changes.
