Overview
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) provides a precise map of lean mass, fat mass, and bone density. Unlike scales, it shows exactly *where* you are building muscle and losing fat.
Health Goals Impacted 1
This item supports, tracks, or is required for the following health goals:
Accurate measurement of lean tissue changes.
Scale weight is deceptive; you can lose weight but lose muscle (sarcopenia) or gain weight and gain fat. DEXA differentiates the two with clinical precision.
Regular scans (e.g., quarterly) allow you to verify that your "bulking" phase is actually resulting in muscle gain, not just fat accumulation.
