Data from Hologic's DEXA systems serve as an additional tool for our coaches to help our members reach their health and fitness goals by using the information from the scan to design a plan and program personalized to their goals and metrics. Additionally, regularly scheduling DEXA scans during the course of a year will show if the weight changes is from fat stores or muscle.
One of the most important feature available with our DEXA system is the ability to provide an in-depth estimate of ones' visceral fat, the fat in the abdominal region surround the organs. High visceral fat is often associated with diseased like diabetes, hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, and metabolic syndrome. Because this fat is internal, it often isn't seen or estimated accurately without a body composition scan.
Another nice feature included in the results is the Rate of Change Report, a key report that visually displays changes over time, enabling our coaches to assess and adjust your program without guessing.
Compared to other methods available out there today, the scan can provide you and our coaches with a more accurate and precise way to prescribe nutrition and fitness plans. The initial scan can be used as a baseline, and performance can be tracked with additional scan throughout the duration of the training or weight loss program. From the report, we'll be able to show you exactly where you are gaining muscle and losing fat from over time.
Ultimately, data from the scan can provide more accurate and precise way to design nutrition and training programs related to improving ones' overall health and fitness.
Our DEXA Body Composition system generates a series of easy-to-read graphical reports that use color mapping to identify muscle mass, bone density, and body fat. These results help us to create a custom nutrition plan and exercise program based on your metrics and goals.
