Hi friends! In this episode we’re diving deep into the world of DXA body scans and why they’re a game-changer for assessing your health. A DXA scan provides a detailed breakdown of your body composition, including bone density, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). More importantly, we explore why these insights are essential for understanding metabolic health, muscle and bone health, and even longevity.

We also discuss my latest DXA scan results—what’s improved, what I’m working on, and how regular assessments have helped me stay on track with my health goals. You’ll hear firsthand how body composition tracking offers actionable insights to optimize your health and fitness journey.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

• What a DXA body scan is and how it works.

• The importance of assessing body composition beyond just tracking weight or BMI. Optimal body fat percentages for women and men.

• How monitoring muscle mass, bone density, and visceral fat impacts metabolic health and longevity.

• Why regular DXA scans are vital for tracking progress and catching early warning signs.

• My personal DXA results and how they’re helping me adjust my approach to health and fitness.

Whether you’re focused on fat loss, muscle gain, or healthy aging, this episode provides the science and practical advice you need to understand and optimize your body composition.
