Why Human Powered Health

More Than a Scan.
A Complete Picture, Inside and Out.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

A DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is the gold standard for measuring body composition. It uses two low-dose X-ray beams to differentiate between bone, lean muscle, and fat tissue with clinical-grade precision — far more accurate than BMI, bioimpedance scales, or hydrostatic weighing.

Yes. A DXA scan uses a very low dose of X-ray radiation — significantly less than a standard chest X-ray. The scan is completely painless and non-invasive. You simply lie still on the table for approximately 15 minutes while the arm of the machine passes over your body.

Clothing:

  • Wear comfortable exercise shoes and exercise clothes. Avoid any metal and hard plastic – zippers, underwire bras, snap buttons, etc.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours prior to testing.

Fasting Requirement:

  • Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and calcium supplements 24 hours prior to your assessment.
  • Avoid consumption of food a minimum of 4 hours prior to your assessment.
  • Be sure to come hydrated.
  • Void bladder a minimum of 30 minutes prior to your assessment.

These requirements will also be emailed to you prior to your appointment.

Immediately following your scan, you'll sit down with a Master's-level performance physiologist for a 30-minute consultation. They'll walk you through every metric — bone density, visceral fat, lean mass, symmetry — and provide personalized recommendations based on your results and goals.

Most DXA providers are radiology clinics or gyms where you receive a printout with minimal explanation. At Human Powered Health, every scan is interpreted by a Master's-level performance physiologist who provides a full 1:1 consultation, personalized action plan, and follow-up recommendations — all included in the price.

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Repeat scans every 3–6 months allow you to track changes in muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density over time. Your physiologist can compare results side-by-side and adjust your recommendations accordingly.
