You may not have heard yet, but our wonderful DEXA Technician Melissa is expecting a baby! Today marks her final shift with us for a while as she prepares to begin her journey into motherhood.

Over the past three years, Mel has been a valued and much-loved member of the Riverside Body Scan team. Her expertise as a Clinical Naturopath and her dedication as our Marketing Coordinator have made a lasting impact. She’ll be deeply missed by all of us—and no doubt by her regular Thursday and Saturday clients as well.

Wishing you all the very best as you welcome your little one, Mel! 💛

Imagine your body is a house that needs energy to function properly and glucose is the electricity that powers the house. Insulin, which is a hormone produced by the pancreas is the key to unlock your front door, to let glucose into the house (cells) so it can be used for energy.

Sometimes the locks on the doors can become rusty and stiff, which makes it harder for insulin to open the door to glucose and eventually over time, the door stays closed and this may lead to diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes).

Is strength training the solution?

Strength training (also known as weight lifting or resistance exercise) increases muscle strength by making muscles work against a force or weight. Whilst building muscle and strength has traditionally been associated with body building, or for women “getting bulky” … the metabolic benefits is remarkable.

Did you know your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of kilojoules your body burns just to keep you alive? 🧠💓 it fuels essential functions like breathing, circulation and brain activity—even when you’re at rest. 🛋️

Here's some reasons why:

✨ FAT LOSS

to lose fat, you need to burn more kilojoules than you consume. your rmr makes up a big chunk of the kilojoules you burn daily—so understanding it helps you create a sustainable calorie deficit. 🥗

💪 MUSCLE GAIN

the more muscle you have, the higher your rmr! muscle tissue burns more kilojoules at rest compared to fat, making strength training a powerful tool to boost your metabolism over time. 🏋️‍♀️

Knowing your rmr means you can tailor your diet and training plan to work smarter, not harder! 🧩💥 whether you're building muscle or burning fat, understanding your body’s engine is step one. 🚀

👉Are you ready to take control of your health? Book a DEXA body composition scan with us to uncover your rmr and design a plan tailored to you! 💬 dm us to learn more.
