The Gold Standard of Body Composition

Think of your DexaFit scan as the DEXA scan, reinvented. It's like upgrading from a classic flip phone to a smart, AI-powered smartphone.

Our AI-enhanced DEXA technology doesn't just measure the standard metrics like body fat, lean mass, and bone density; it takes it a step further by uncovering critical indicators such as your biological age and potential risks for major health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. This is more than just a scan—it's your ultimate tool for mastering body composition with precision.

Explore an in-depth analysis of your body with our DexaFit scan. Beyond assessing fat and muscle, it offers a detailed look at your body composition, including bone density and muscle mass by region. You'll also gain insight into your visceral fat levels and see how your results compare against age- and sex-matched peer averages, helping you set your own targets. Additionally, you can visualize your results with a color-coded heat map of your body, making it easier to understand and track your progress over time. This isn't just a scan—it's a clear picture of your body composition.

On the day of your DexaFit scan, here's a step-by-step guide to ensure everything goes smoothly:

Pre-Scan Preparations: Limit physical activity (no exercise, please!) and stay hydrated. Fast for at least two hours prior to your scan.

Dress Appropriately: Wear workout clothes without metal. Small buttons or zippers are fine. Don't forget your socks!

Metal and Jewelry: You'll be asked to empty your pockets and remove metal items like watches, belts, glasses, and jewelry.

During the Scan: Relax on an open-air DEXA scan table. The process is quick and uses a low dose of radiation—roughly equivalent to a few hours of natural background radiation.

Contrast Agents: Avoid gastrointestinal contrast, barium, other contrast mediums, and radionuclides within 48 hours of your appointment.

The DexaFit scan is a straightforward, non-invasive procedure designed for your comfort and convenience, providing insights into your body composition.

Regular DexaFit scans are a great way to track your progress over time. For most people, a scan every 3–6 months hits the sweet spot for measuring changes and seeing what's working. Going long stretches without feedback can mean sticking with a routine that isn't getting results.

The DexaFit Body Scan uses DEXA technology, long regarded as a gold standard in body composition analysis, and enhances it with AI for added insight:

Trusted Foundation in DEXA: Recognized for its precision in research settings, DEXA technology forms the core of DexaFit scans. It's a well-established method for measuring body composition.

AI-Enhanced Analysis: DexaFit builds on DEXA with AI integration, offering not just detailed measurements but also personalized insights based on your own data.

Comprehensive Three-Compartment Model: Unlike two-compartment methods such as Hydrostatic Weighing or Bod Pod, DexaFit scans measure lean mass, fat mass, and bone mass, providing a more thorough breakdown of body composition.

Fat and Lean Mass Distribution: While methods like BIA claim regional analysis, DEXA provides a more detailed, region-by-region breakdown.

Beyond Conventional Limitations: Common methods like BIA, found in home scales and handheld devices, are often influenced by variables like hydration, which can affect accuracy. Hydrostatic Weighing and Bod Pod rely on environmental factors and assumptions that can affect their results.

Direct Measurement Advantage: DexaFit's DEXA-based scans measure body composition directly, reducing the assumptions inherent in calculated methods—which supports greater accuracy and consistency.

Wider Body Composition Insights: DexaFit scans go beyond basic body fat to map lean mass, bone density, and regional distribution, giving you a fuller picture of your body composition over time.

In summary, DexaFit Body Scans, built on well-established DEXA technology and enhanced with AI, offer a level of detail and comprehensive analysis that stands apart from other body composition methods

Insurance coverage for DEXA scans can vary depending on the purpose and your personal situation. Here are some general points to consider:

Bone Density Scans: A diagnostic bone-density scan ordered by your physician may be covered by insurance if you meet certain age and medical criteria. Note that DexaFit's body composition scan is not a diagnostic bone-density test.

Body Composition Scans: Body composition scans are generally not covered by standard health insurance and are offered as cash pay. DexaFit does not bill insurance.

HSA/FSA: Some clients choose to pay using a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Eligibility depends on your plan and your individual circumstances, so please confirm with your plan administrator or tax advisor before assuming a scan qualifies.

We'd always recommend checking directly with your insurance provider or plan administrator to understand your specific options
