Precision DEXA Scans for Your BHRT Journey
Why DEXA + BHRT = Precision Health
Your hormones tell the story – we help you read it.
While generic scans give you numbers, our medical-grade DEXA scans reveal what matters for your metabolic and hormonal health:
Hormone-driven fat distribution patterns
Muscle retention is tied to estrogen/testosterone ratios
Metabolic shifts from thyroid optimization
Bone density changes with hormone support
Hospital-Grade Precision
Our Hologic Horizon DEXA system delivers <1% margin of error – trusted by the Mayo Clinic and Olympic athletes.
Key Benefits:
✓ Most accurate body composition analysis
✓ Visceral vs. subcutaneous fat mapping
✓ Bone density + muscle mass tracking
✓ <5 min scan time (less radiation than a flight)
Ideal For:
BHRT progress monitoring
Menopause/andropause management
Metabolic optimization
