Trusted by elite clinicians & athletes
Dr. Andy Galpin
“I have personally put people through hundreds of DEXA scans. A lot of the time, we see people come back who are generally healthy, lean, active, young – and they still have really low or poor bone quality"
Bryan Johnson
“Today, I'm doing a DEXA scan. I've made a bunch of changes in my life, and we're now going to see all the data points that are relevant"
Dan Go
“With a DEXA scan, we’re looking at three things: your body fat, your lean mass, and your visceral fat — the kind that wraps around your organs"
Ali Abdaal
“Every single person I’ve recommended a DEXA scan to – once they’ve done it – has said, ‘Oh my god, this is the best money I’ve ever spent on my health”
Dr. Peter Attia
“I think everybody should have a DEXA scan, You just have to know this data. You have to know your bone mineral density, how much visceral fat you have, and how much muscle mass you have”
