You Can't Protect What You Don't Measure
We believe muscle is your capital. But how do you know if you're protecting it?
Standard scales can't tell you. When the number goes down, they don't show whether you've lost fat, muscle, water or bone. On GLP-1 medication, or during ill health, weight can drop quickly, so that difference really matters.

What Is A DEXA Scan?
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is widely regarded as the gold standard for measuring body composition and bone density. You lie on a padded table for a few minutes while a low-dose scanner passes over you. It's quick, painless and non-invasive.
It measures exactly what you're made of: fat, lean muscle and bone, and where each one sits in your body.

Why Muscle And Bone Go Together
As we explain in Muscle Capital, muscle and bone are deeply connected. When muscle contracts, it stimulates bone to stay strong. So when muscle declines, bone often follows.
For women in perimenopause or menopause, falling oestrogen speeds up both. Add rapid weight loss on top, and knowing where you stand is worth more than guessing.
