Most people train on assumptions. DEXA scanning, metabolic testing and blood analysis give you the data to train smarter, age better, and see exactly what's changing.
Three services that work together to give you a complete picture of your body composition, metabolism and health markers.
The gold standard in body composition analysis. Measures muscle, fat, bone density and visceral fat with clinical precision — not an estimate from a scale.
Measures the exact calories your body burns at rest, and whether you're burning fat or glucose for fuel. Most calorie targets are wrong — this corrects that.
Processed by Laverty Pathology. Hormones, inflammation, thyroid and metabolic markers — the full picture of what's driving how you feel and perform.
"Clients have lost 2kg of fat and gained 2kg of muscle — without the scale moving."Why DEXA beats the scale every time
Choose a scan time that suits you. DEXA takes 20 minutes, RMR 15–20. No referral required — just book and show up to 5/9 Salisbury Rd, Castle Hill.
The Hologic Horizon Wi measures bone, muscle and fat with clinical precision. No needles — lie still for a few minutes while the arm passes over you. RMR uses a simple mouthpiece for 15–20 minutes at rest.
Results are emailed same day with a full interpretation guide. Your clinician walks you through the numbers — what they mean, and exactly what to do about them.
We use the Hologic Horizon Wi — the same dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner used in hospitals and research. Not an InBody scale or a BIA device.
DEXA measures bone, muscle and fat directly. Bioimpedance scales estimate body composition and are routinely 5–8% off. DEXA is the reference standard.
Castle Hill's only DEXA body composition clinic. No need to travel to the city — we're in the Hills District, convenient for all of northwest Sydney.
A single scan is useful. A rescan every 3–6 months shows you exactly what changed — muscle gained, fat lost, bone density improving. The data keeps you honest.
LifeX works with physios, chiropractors, pilates studios and allied health practitioners across the Hills District. If you think your clients would benefit from DEXA, RMR or blood panel data, we're happy to have a conversation.
