DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a non-invasive test that measures body composition, including bone density, muscle mass, visceral fat, and body fat percentage. It is highly accurate and safe.
A VO2 Max test measures your body’s maximum oxygen uptake during exercise. This helps assess your aerobic fitness level and can guide personalized training plans. VO2 Max is one of the strongest measurable predictors of longevity and long-term health.
RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) testing determines how many calories your body burns at rest. This information is crucial for optimizing nutrition plans and weight management strategies.
Avoid eating or drinking 2 hours prior and avoid intense exercise on the day of the scan. Wear light clothing with no metal. Avoid wearing jeans.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and intense exercise 24 hours before. Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring running shoes. You may also bring your own chest-worn heart rate monitor if you wish.
Fast for 4-6 hours before the test. Arrive rested and avoid exercise, caffeine, and alcohol on the test day. You may also want to bring a snack for when you are finished.
