Objective data for the whole-person picture.
A DEXA scan measures bone density and body composition with imaging-grade precision, giving you a reliable baseline to sit alongside your own clinical assessment. Refer a patient to us and you won’t just be sending them for a scan. You’ll both receive the full report.

Why refer

A measurement your patients can rely on, and so can you.

Wholistic and integrative care depends on good data as much as it depends on a good conversation with the patient in front of you. Bathroom scales and standard BIA devices are influenced by hydration, timing and technique, which makes them a shaky foundation for tracking real change over months or years.

A DEXA scan gives you a single, dependable measurement of bone density and body composition to build a longer-term picture around, whether that picture is about ageing well, restoring hormonal balance, or managing weight sustainably.

Bone mineral density at the hip and spine, reported against age and sex-matched norms.
Lean mass and fat mass,  measured separately so muscle preservation can be tracked alongside fat loss.
Visceral fat rating, a marker closely linked to metabolic and cardiovascular risk.
Segmental breakdown across arms, legs and trunk, useful for spotting asymmetries as they emerge.

Relevant to your practice

Reasons to refer, by specialty.

The value of a DEXA scan shifts slightly depending on what you’re monitoring, treating or advising for. Here is where it tends to matter most across each of these specialties.

Wholistic & Integrative Doctors

Ground a whole-person plan in objective data.

Integrative care often draws on several strands of assessment at once, and a DEXA scan adds one that is genuinely objective. A clear baseline of bone density and body composition gives you and your patient a shared reference point to return to, and a way to confirm that a broader treatment plan is producing measurable change, not just a felt sense of progress.

Longevity Specialists

Track the biomarkers that matter for healthspan.

Lean mass and visceral fat are two of the more meaningful indicators of biological ageing, and both decline or accumulate gradually enough that a single measurement rarely tells the full story. A baseline scan followed by a re-scan every six to twelve months lets you show a patient the trajectory they’re on, and adjust a longevity protocol accordingly.

Women's Health Specialists

Catch bone density changes early, especially post-menopause.

Bone density can decline quickly in the years around menopause, and a baseline scan taken during that window gives you a genuine head start on managing the risk. For patients already showing signs of low bone density, a re-scan every three to six months keeps a close enough eye on things to inform treatment decisions in good time.

Weight Loss Specialists

Confirm that fat is coming off, not muscle.

This matters more than ever with rapid weight loss approaches, including GLP-1 therapies, where a meaningful share of the total loss can be lean mass rather than fat if it isn’t being monitored. A DEXA scan shows you the split between the two, and a re-scan every three to six months means you can adjust nutrition or resistance training well before muscle loss becomes a problem.

Referral report

Two copies. One conversation.

Your patient leaves their appointment with their own copy of the results, written in plain language they can understand and keep. You receive a copy too, sent directly to you as the referring practitioner, so the data is on hand before you even see the results and mention them yourself.

That means the numbers are ready and waiting for your next consultation, whether you’re reviewing a longevity protocol, adjusting hormone therapy, or checking in on a weight management plan.

Your patient

Receives their full report at the clinic, in plain language, to keep for their own records.

You, the referrer

Receive the same report directly, ready to fold straight into your next consultation with them.

Ongoing monitoring

Some patients need more than one scan.

Longevity tracking, post-menopause bone health, and weight loss programs are rarely a single-scan matter. They tend to call for a re-measure every few months to confirm the trend is heading the right way, so a scan booked in isolation can only tell part of the story.

For patients who will need repeat scans over the course of their treatment, our four-scan body composition package is worth mentioning at the referral stage.

Body composition package

4 scans for $400

To be used within 13 months of the first body composition scan. The referral itself stays valid for the whole period, so patients can space their scans out to match their treatment timeline.
