The Ultimate In Body Composition Testing
We all want to lose weight, whether it be “the last 10 pounds” or an ever common 50, 60 or more pounds
While putting on 10 pounds of lost fat could take a week, putting on 10 pounds of lost muscle could take a year!
Fat burns no calories at rest, muscle burns anywhere from between 25-45 calories just while sitting around! It’s imperative that you know if you’re losing muscle mass or fat while lowering your overall body weight. Bone-loss can appear when muscle loss occurs, causing serious health issues.

ALL CONTRIBUTE TO YOU FEELING LIKE A SHADOW OF YOUR FORMER SELF
It can be motivating to see the first initial pounds coming off or the loosening of a belt notch
Although the scale may be going down, it doesn’t mean your getting healthier... in some cases, it could even indicate the opposite.
The truth is that weight is only one measure of health, usually implemented from a BMI chart. It’s a very poor indicator of overall wellness and isn’t personalized with regard to your unique body. A muscled NFL player in his 20’s and an overweight sedentary man in his 50’s can both leave their primary care physicians office with the exact same results.
Clearly this is an inaccurate representation of the health of each individual. It isn’t even a skillful determination of general health. In fact, while the scale is going down, half of each pound lost could be lean muscle mass... essentially, you could just become a smaller version of your overweight self.
Early & Accurate Detection
As our bodies age, the mineral density of our bones decreases and can often result in lack of balance and coordination. This increases the likely-hood of a fall or injury taking place. Especially in elderly populations, one missed step down the stairs or slippery patch of ice can end in a hip fracture, sometimes leading to an early death.

Through a DEXA scan this can be prevented. This incredible machine allows us to map out your body composition and see where bone-loss may be occuring. This helps to determine the risk and progression of osteoporosis... early detection is especially important for those in their 40’s and 50’s.

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Looking healthy and being healthy don’t always coincide
don't be fooled
There are many people that look healthy and even have a normal BMI. As we discussed earlier, BMI is a poor measure of overall health. They may look skinny on the outside, but inside they can have layers of fat around their organs, often leading to osteopenia or osteoporosis. Just as BMI isn’t a good indicator, neither is a mirror. This is a dangerous condition that can progress silently for many years.
Recognize Your Personal Risk
The only way to know for sure what’s going on is to look inside the body with a DEXA scan. Low bone density may seem like it wouldn’t affect men, but it certainly does. Death is also more likely to occur in men than women who sustain a hip fracture.
This valuable data allows us to assess disease risk factors and also have a structure to accurately measure goals. You can see exactly how much fat and muscle has been gained or lost, instead of relying solely on a scale's smoke and mirrors. This can also give you a good idea of any lifestyle changes you should make, or how long it may take you to reach your current fat loss goals.
Understanding The Full Picture Of Your Body
Wellness is comprised of several aspects of health
Find Out Where You Stand
Using the DEXA scan, we can find your current body composition of fat to lean mass and determine how it is distributed across your body. This is the only method available that can target dangerous fat around vital organs.
Increased abdominal fat is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety and even many cancers.
