What

A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that precisely measures body composition, including fat, lean muscle, and bone density. It’s considered the gold standard for tracking changes over time, revealing regional fat distribution and visceral fat levels, key indicators of metabolic health.

DEXA offers accurate, actionable insights to guide personalised health, fitness, and nutrition strategies. It’s a powerful tool for anyone serious about optimising performance, preventing disease, or improving longevity.

Why

Consider a DEXA scan to gain precise insight into your body composition: fat, muscle, and bone, beyond what scales or BMI can reveal. It identifies visceral fat, a key marker of metabolic risk, and tracks changes over time, helping you personalise your diet, exercise, and health strategies. Whether you’re aiming to lose fat, gain muscle, optimise performance, or prevent disease, a DEXA scan provides the data you need to make informed, decisions.
