As a high-earning professional, you understand the importance of taking care of your physical appearance and overall health. You're likely no stranger to the gym, and you probably make an effort to eat a balanced diet. However, despite your best efforts, you may not be seeing the results you want. This is where personalised nutrition and body assessment come in. By understanding your unique body composition, nutritional needs, and fitness goals, you can tailor your diet and exercise routine to achieve optimal results.

What is a DEXA Machine?

A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) machine is a non-invasive, pain-free device that uses X-ray technology to measure bone density, body fat percentage, and lean muscle mass. It's a highly accurate tool that provides a detailed picture of your body composition, allowing you to track changes over time and make informed decisions about your health and fitness.

How Does a DEXA Scan Work?

A DEXA scan typically takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. You'll lie down on a flat table, and the machine will use X-ray beams to scan your body. The scan will measure the density of your bones, as well as the amount of fat and lean tissue in your body. The results will be presented in a detailed report, which will include information on your:

- Bone density (including risk of osteoporosis)

- Body fat percentage (including visceral fat)

- Lean muscle mass

- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)

What are the Benefits of Personalised Nutrition and Body Assessment?

By combining a DEXA scan with personalised nutrition and body assessment, you can:

- Identify areas for improvement in your diet and exercise routine

- Develop a tailored nutrition plan that meets your unique needs and goals

- Track changes in your body composition over time

- Improve your overall health and wellbeing

- Enhance your athletic performance (if you're an athlete)

- Boost your confidence and self-esteem

How Does Personalised Nutrition Work?

Personalised nutrition takes into account your unique genetic profile, lifestyle, and health goals to create a tailored nutrition plan. This may involve:

- Genetic testing to identify genetic markers that affect your metabolism and nutrition

- Dietary analysis to identify areas for improvement in your current diet

- Meal planning and recipe suggestions to help you stick to your plan

- Ongoing support and guidance from a qualified nutritionist or dietitian

What are the Different Types of Body Composition?

When it comes to body composition, there are several key metrics to consider:

- Lean body mass (LBM): This refers to your total body weight minus your body fat percentage. It includes your muscles, bones, and other lean tissues.

- Body fat percentage: This is the percentage of your total body weight that is comprised of fat. There are several different types of body fat, including:

- Visceral fat: This type of fat accumulates around your organs and is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases.

- Subcutaneous fat: This type of fat lies just beneath the skin and is often visible as "pinchable" fat.

- Brown fat: This type of fat is highly metabolically active and is involved in heat production and energy expenditure.

How Often Should I Get a DEXA Scan?

The frequency of DEXA scans will depend on your individual goals and needs. If you're looking to track changes in your body composition over time, you may want to consider getting a scan every 6-12 months. If you're an athlete or have a specific fitness goal in mind, you may want to consider more frequent scans to track your progress.

Personalised nutrition and body assessment are powerful tools that can help you take your health and fitness to the next level.

How does the body assessment process work?

Our body assessment process involves a series of non-invasive tests, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and resting metabolic rate (RMR) tests. These tests provide a detailed picture of your body composition, including fat mass, lean mass, bone density, and metabolic rate.

What is DXA scanning, and how does it work?

DXA scanning is a non-invasive, low-radiation test that measures bone density and body composition. The scan uses X-rays to measure the density of your bones and soft tissues, providing a precise picture of your body's composition.

What is bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and how does it work?

BIA is a non-invasive test that measures body composition by sending a low-level electrical current through your body. The current measures the resistance of your body's tissues, providing information about your fat mass, lean mass, and hydration levels.

What is resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing, and how does it work?

RMR testing measures your body's energy expenditure at rest, providing information about your metabolic rate and caloric needs. The test involves breathing into a mask for 10-15 minutes, and is completely painless and non-invasive.
