Total Body Fat %

Your overall body fat percentage with clinical accuracy

Lean Muscle Mass

Total muscle tissue in pounds/kg for each body region

Visceral Fat

Dangerous fat around organs - a key longevity marker

Bone Mineral Density

T-scores and Z-scores for osteoporosis assessment

Android/Gynoid Ratio

Fat distribution pattern and metabolic health indicator

Appendicular Lean Mass

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a DEXA scan take?

The actual scan takes only 6-10 minutes. Including preparation and consultation, plan for about 30 minutes total.

Is there any radiation exposure?

DEXA uses very low radiation - about 1/10th of a chest X-ray. It's considered extremely safe for regular monitoring.

How often should I get scanned?

For tracking body composition changes, we recommend every 8-12 weeks. This allows enough time to see meaningful changes from your protocols.

Do I need to prepare for the scan?

Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing. Avoid eating a large meal 2-3 hours before. Stay consistently hydrated as you normally would.
