The Gold Standard of Body Composition Analysis

Think of your DexaFit scan as the DEXA scan reimagined. It's like comparing a smart, AI-powered phone to a classic flip phone.

Our AI-enhanced DEXA technology not only measures standard metrics like body fat, lean mass, and bone density; it goes beyond the basics to discover key indicators like your biological age and potential risks for major health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. This isn't just a scan—it's the key to mastering your body composition with precision.

Dive into a comprehensive analysis of your body with our DexaFit scan. Beyond measuring fat and muscle, it offers a detailed view of your musculoskeletal health, including bone density and muscle mass. You'll uncover insights into visceral fat levels and receive an evaluation of potential disease risks, such as heart disease and diabetes.

Your DexaFit scan also provides a comparative analysis against peer averages, setting personalized targets for optimal health. Plus, visualize your results with a color-coded heat map of your body, making it easier to understand and track your progress. This isn't just a scan; it's a roadmap to your healthiest self.

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. 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 minimal radiation, equivalent to about four bananas worth of exposure, or a few hours of natural background radiation.

Contrast Agents: Avoid gastrointestinal contrast, barium, or 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 valuable insights into your body composition.

Regular DexaFit scans are crucial for actively monitoring your health progress. For most users, a scan every 3-6 months hits the sweet spot for tracking changes and measuring effectiveness. Prolonged periods without feedback might lead to following a less effective health strategy.

The DexaFit Body Scan leverages the precision of DEXA technology, long regarded as the gold standard in body composition analysis, and enhances it with AI for unparalleled accuracy and insights:

Trusted Foundation in DEXA: Recognized for its precision in research and medical fields, DEXA technology forms the core of DexaFit scans. This proven method is renowned for its accuracy in measuring body composition.

AI-Enhanced Analysis: DexaFit takes DEXA's reliability further with AI integration, offering not just detailed measurements but also personalized insights and health recommendations based on your unique 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 analysis of body composition.

Precision in Fat and Lean Mass Distribution: While other methods like BIA claim regional analysis, DexaFit provides a more precise and accurate distribution assessment, crucial for targeted health strategies.

Beyond Conventional Limitations: Common methods like BIA, found in home scales and handheld devices, are often influenced by variables like hydration, leading to inaccuracies. Hydrostatic Weighing and Bod Pod are constrained by environmental factors and assumptions, affecting their precision.

Direct Measurement Advantage: DexaFit's DEXA-based scans directly measure body composition, eliminating the assumptions and potential errors inherent in calculated methods. This direct approach significantly enhances accuracy and consistency.

Wider Health Insights: DexaFit scans go beyond basic body composition to offer insights into health risks such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia, providing a more complete view of your overall health.

In summary, DexaFit Body Scans, built upon the trusted and accurate DEXA technology and augmented with AI, offer a level of precision, detail, and comprehensive analysis unmatched by other body composition methods.

The DexaFit scan is a versatile tool designed for a wide spectrum of individuals seeking detailed insights into their body composition and health. Its diverse use cases make it an essential tool for many:

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

Bone Density Scans: If your scan is ordered by your physician and used specifically for bone density assessment, it may be covered by insurance, especially if you meet certain age and medical criteria.

Body Composition Scans: Currently, body composition scans are generally not covered by standard health insurance and are considered cash pay. However, many users have successfully received reimbursement from their insurance carriers after submitting their DexaFit results.

Potential Insurance Benefits: Some users have even reported obtaining reduced life insurance premiums by sharing their positive DexaFit results, showcasing improved health and lower risk factors.

HSA/FSA Eligibility: While we continue to work towards broader insurance coverage, DexaFit scans are eligible for payment through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), making them more accessible.

It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage options and any potential benefits of submitting your DexaFit results.
