Body Composition Scan
A clearer way to understand your health — beyond the scale
Most people rely on weight to measure progress.
But weight alone doesn’t tell you what’s actually changing.
Is that weight coming from fat, or muscle?
Where is that weight actually stored?
Our Body Composition Scan uses advanced DEXA technology to give you precise answers in just minutes, so you can make informed decisions about your health, fitness, and long-term wellness.
What is a Body Composition Scan?
A Body Composition Scan is a non-invasive imaging test that measures:
- Body fat percentage
- Lean muscle mass
- Visceral fat (fat around internal organs)
Unlike a traditional medical DEXA scan, which focuses only on diagnosing osteoporosis, this scan provides a comprehensive view of your entire body composition.
It’s a powerful tool for tracking progress, identifying risks early, and building a more effective health plan.
Why body composition matters more than weight
Two people can weigh the same, but have completely different health profiles.
A standard scale cannot distinguish between fat, muscle, and more.
This scan does.
With accurate body composition data, you can:
- Understand how your body is changing over time
- Measure fat loss vs. muscle gain
- Identify unhealthy levels of visceral fat
- Make smarter decisions about nutrition and exercise
What you’ll learn from your scan
Your results provide a detailed breakdown of how your body is composed, including:
Body fat percentage
Know exactly how much of your body is fat and where it’s distributed.
Lean muscle mass
Track muscle development and ensure you’re maintaining strength.
Visceral fat
Assess fat surrounding your internal organs, which is linked to metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
Segmental analysis
See how fat and muscle are distributed across your arms, legs, and core.
Who should consider this scan?
This scan is ideal for individuals who want a more accurate understanding of their health, including:
- Those actively trying to lose weight or build muscle
- Individuals frustrated by slow or unclear progress
- Athletes or fitness-focused individuals tracking performance
- Anyone interested in preventative health and longevity
What makes this different from a standard DEXA scan?
A traditional DEXA scan is typically ordered by a physician to evaluate bone density alone. Our Body Composition Scan goes further by combining:
- Full-body composition analysis
- Wellness-focused insights
This makes it not just a diagnostic tool, but a proactive health and performance tool.
Your results
After your scan, you’ll receive:
- A detailed, easy-to-read report
- Accurate body composition metrics
- A baseline you can track over time
Many patients repeat the scan periodically to monitor progress and adjust their health strategy.
