Stories
Athlettuce
Finding out what a lower weight was really made of
After a month of changes, this runner’s repeat Composition ID scan showed that her small weight loss included lean tissue as well as fat. Discussing the results helped her reconsider strength training and fueling, giving her a more useful next step than simply trying to make the scale go down.
athlettuce.comComposition ID client
Following muscle-building progress over a year
A Washington, DC client used advice from an initial Composition ID DEXA scan to focus on gaining muscle. At a follow-up scan a year later, the client reported 11 pounds more lean mass and a lower body-fat percentage, and credited the original explanation with helping guide those changes.
compositionid.comThings to know
- Prices and packages belong to the selected center.
Book through that center’s own schedule; nutrition coaching and other tests are separate services.
- A body-composition scan differs from a diagnostic bone exam.
Choose a clinician-ordered hip or spine study when that is the examination you need.
