Why I did a DEXA Scan
As a menopausal woman, I know the drop in estrogen can mean lower bone density and a higher risk of osteoporosis.
But that’s not all — aging also increases the risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss), which affects strength, balance, and metabolism.
Where you carry fat matters too. Visceral fat around your organs is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
A DEXA scan gives a detailed look at your bone health, muscle mass, and fat distribution — empowering you to take action and age strong, not fragile.
Knowledge is power — when you know your numbers, you can make smarter nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices to support longevity
