Description
Have you ever heard of a DEXA scan? It's a pretty incredible tool when it comes to understanding your body composition! With a DEXA scan, you can ditch old methods of measuring "health" like body weight and BMI, and instead get a clear picture of your body's muscle and fat composition. That way, you can make targeted changes to reduce your risk of disease and boost your confidence. Today, I share my recent (& shocking!) DEXA scan results and explain why you should consider getting one too. I also talk about why it's important to celebrate your body and not beat yourself up if the scan results aren't exactly what you were expecting. If you're struggling with getting your ideal muscle tone and definition, or if you tend to judge yourself harshly when your body isn't where you want it to be, this episode is a must-listen!
