DEXA Scan
We believe that a DEXA Scan is The Baseline to Better Health and everyone aged 18-80 should have on-going DEXA Scans to track and measure against their health baseline.
The scan performed by a DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorption) is a quick and painless Whole Body Scan that provides clarity to the individual using science backed technology to identify body fat, lean muscle and bone health. A DEXA Scan is the GOLD Standard for measuring Bone Health and Body Composition
A DEXA can also provide Three (3) Critical health markers that can be used to identify health risks including Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Stroke, Osteoporosis and more.
What is a Body Composition DEXA Scan
The DEXA Scan for Body Composition provides the most accurate breakdown of your body including your total body fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle mass and how it is distributed through out your body. Fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and dieters often use body composition scans to get a baseline of where they are now, and to objectively measure their progress.
How a DEXA Body Composition Scan Works:
The total scan takes about 7 minutes, where you’ll be lying flat on the scanning bed. The DEXA is the ‘gold standard’ body composition testing. It has the greatest precision and shorter scan times.
STEP 1: Find a location near you
STEP 2: Schedule an appointment
STEP 3: Prepare! Do not take calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before the exam and avoid wearing clothes with metal zippers or hooks.
STEP 4: Lay flat on the scanning bed for roughly 7 minutes
STEP 5: Directly after you’re scanned, you’ll get your results and will walk through them with a professional.
The Results
What is a Bone Density DEXA Scan
A Bone Densitometry test is used to measure how strong your bones are. It is commonly used to identify osteoporosis, a condition that causes a decrease in the density of bones resulting in fragility, and to determine a person’s risk for developing fractures. Risk for developing fracture is determined by age, weight and family/personal history. DEXA is today’s established standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) and is most often performed on the spine, hips or forearm. Talk to your doctor before scheduling a DEXA Scan.
How a DEXA Bone Density Scan Works
STEP 1: Talk to your doctor about your eligibility for Bone Density Testing
STEP 2: Your doctor will recommend a nearby Dexa Scan provider that is covered by your health insurance.
STEP 3: Schedule an appointment for the scan and an additional appointment with your doctor to discuss the results.
STEP 4: Prepare! Do not take calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before the exam and avoid wearing clothes with metal zippers or hooks.
STEP 5: Lay flat on the scanning bed for roughly 10 to 20 minutes
STEP 6: Discuss your results with your health care provider.
The Results
T score: This number shows your Bone Mineral Density compared to young adults of the same gender in peak health.
- -1 and above: this is considered a normal score
- between -1 and -2.5: this is classified as osteopenia (low bone mass)
- below -2.5: this is classified as osteoporosis (extremely low bone mass)
Z score: This number shows your Bone Mineral Density compared to other people in your age group of the same size and gender. If this score is more than 2 standard deviations above or below average, it may indicate a need for further medical tests.

COLD PLUNGE BENEFITS
ELEVATED ENERGY
Everyone has their own method for waking up; double shots of espresso, a quick workout, and so on. If you’re looking for a quick start to your morning or an afternoon pick-me-up, cold plunging might just be the answer. Many people turn to cold plunging when looking for a new way to boost their daily energy!
RECOVERY / PERFORMANCE
Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body too. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years, to help with the active recovery of your muscles.
IMMUNE SUPPORT
Being immersed in cold water stimulates leukocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off illnesses. It also causes the lymphatic system to contract, forcing fluid through the lymph nodes. This process aids in detoxing the body and strengthening your immune system. A study has shown to substantially lower upper respiratory tract infections.
MOMENTUM
Cold plunging has shown the ability to increase your baseline dopamine. Dopamine is the molecule in our brain and body that is linked to motivation. According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, dopamine can enhance our depth of focus and lower our threshold for taking action towards our specific goals.
BOOSTED MOOD
Researchers have known for a while that it connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone imbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood! Don’t take our word for it though, just ask anyone who has ever plunged!
PAIN RELIEF
The boost in norepinephrine you’ll get from consistent ice baths has been shown to be up to 5x. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.
STRESS RELIEF
Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. A study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
BETTER SLEEP
When you dip into the Plunge, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system. This system is a network of vessels and nerves, split into two parts that control your response to stress. When you begin to control your response to stress, you’ll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
What is Red Light Therapy?
What is Red Light Therapy? Red and near infrared (NIR) light therapy, often simply referred to as “red light therapy”, is a type of therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to bring about positive health benefits. This form of phototherapy uses wavelengths of light that are considered bioactive in humans.
People use red light therapy to improve skin quality, speed wound healing, stimulate hair growth, reduce chronic pain, and improve workout recovery times. Studies indicate that red light therapy’s effects occur due to the stimulative effect that red and NIR wavelengths of light have on mitochondria, the energy center of the cells.
Red Light Improves Cellular Energy Production
The best-studied mechanism of action surrounding red and near-infrared light therapy is the stimulation of mitochondrial energy production in the cells. Mitochondria are tiny organelles (organs within a cell) that produce all of the energy that our cells and our bodies ultimately need. Red light therapy is thought to primarily cause its positive effects by helping the mitochondria create more energy.
All molecules and atoms absorb very specific wavelengths of light. The specific molecule within the mitochondria that is thought to absorb red and near-infrared light is a chemical called cytochrome C oxidase. Cytochrome C oxidase plays an absolutely essential role in transferring electrons down an electrochemical gradient in mitochondria called the electron transport chain.
The electron transport chain is what drives the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is a complex organic molecule that is considered the “currency” of energy in the body. While biological energy is derived from sugar, the energy in sugar would damage cells if it was all used at once. Mitochondria use a chemical reaction called the Krebs cycle to generate charged molecules. These charged molecules then pass through the electron transport chain, ultimately resulting in the synthesis of ATP.
Red light therapy is ultimately thought to improve the efficiency and speed of the electron transport chain, improving the availability of ATP in the cells and throughout the body. This increased energy is what is thought to provide the many benefits that red light therapy is used for.
