Lakeland’s Premier DEXA Scan for Body Fat & Bone Density.
Get Hospital-Grade insights into your fat, muscle, and bone health. At D&G Optimized Wellness, we empower you with the most accurate body composition testing available, using clinical DEXA (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) technology. Our board-certified physicians utilize our scan to reveal what regular scales and smart devices can’t: precise fat distribution, muscle imbalances, and bone health risks, all in just 15 minutes.
Why DEXA Scans are the Gold Standard.
Beyond BMI: Data you can trust.
Traditional methods like BMI, calipers, or bioelectrical impedance (BIA) often mislead. DEXA scans use medical-grade x-ray technology to provide:
1% accuracy- margin of error vs. 5-15% with BIA scales
Visceral Fat Measurement-Identifies dangerous fat around organs (linked to diabetes, heart disease)
Muscle Asymmetry Detection- Reveals left/right imbalances to prevent injuries
Bone Density Screening- Early detection of osteopenia/osteoporosis risks
Radiation safety- Less exposure than a cross-country flight (<1 μSv)
Ideal for:
Fitness enthusiasts tracking real muscle gains (not just water weight)
Weight loss patients ensure fat loss (not muscle loss)
Adults 40+ monitoring age-related muscle/bone decline
Athletes optimizing performance nutrition
What Makes Our DEXA Scans Unique?
Physician-designed, patient-focused.
Unlike gym or spa DEXA providers, our scans are analyzed by emergency medicine physicians who:
Correlate results with health risks (e.g., high visceral fat & metabolic disease)
Provide actionable insights (not just raw data)
Follow clinical protocols for consistent, reliable tracking
Your Scan Experience

Prep: Wear lightweight clothing (no metal).
Scan: Lie comfortably while the machine scans your body (no enclosure).
Results: Receive a color-coded PDF report same day, including:
Visceral vs. subcutaneous fat ratios.
