Why Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing Is the Foundation of Any Personalized Nutrition Plan
Peptide Therapy: What It Is, Why It Works, and Why Measurement Matters
For Anyone Restarting Their Health Journey A large number of people who visit DexaFit are not athletes. They're individuals trying to get healthier, lose body fat, gain muscle, or simply understand where to begin. One of the most common feelings is uncertainty: “I don’t know what’s going on with my body anymore.” A DEXA scan removes the guesswork. It provides a starting point; a true baseline; that makes progress easy to measure and adjustments easier to make. When you retest every 8–12 weeks, you can see exactly how your effort is translating into results. This is incredibly motivating and often becomes the turning point in someone’s fitness journey. A Closer Look at Visceral Fat (The Hidden Risk) One of the most important benefits of a DEXA scan is its ability to measure visceral fat; the deeper fat stored around vital organs. This type of fat is strongly linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, and long-term health risks. What surprises many people is that you can look “average” on the outside but still have elevated visceral fat internally. DEXA reveals this early, giving you the chance to take action before it becomes a real problem. For longevity-focused clients, this single metric often becomes one of the most valuable data points to monitor over time. How DEXA Fits Into a Bigger Health and Performance Strategy At DexaFit New York, a DEXA scan isn’t just a one-off assessment. It works alongside metabolic testing (RMR), VO₂ Max assessments, and key biomarkers to create a full picture of your health. This integrated view helps us understand: • How efficiently your metabolism is working • How well your body uses oxygen during exercise • Whether you’re gaining or losing the right type of weight • How your biomarkers respond to lifestyle changes These elements come together in what we call our Biological Analysis Program; a deeper process where we combine your DEXA, RMR, VO₂, and intake data to build your personalized Longevity Blueprint. It’s a way to move beyond general fitness advice and into truly individualized guidance. A Smarter Way to Start and a Clear Way to Stay on Track Whether your goals involve body composition, performance, longevity, or simply taking back your health, a DEXA scan gives you information that’s immediately actionable. And when you repeat the scan every 8–12 weeks, you create a feedback loop that keeps you moving in the right direction: Test → Adjust → Improve → Retest This is how real, sustainable progress happens.
