No. Those scales use bioelectrical impedance, which sends a small electrical current through your body and estimates fat based on resistance. The problem? Hydration, recent meals, and even the time of day can swing results by 5-10%. They also can't tell you WHERE your fat is or measure visceral fat (the dangerous kind around your organs). A DEXA scan uses medical-grade X-ray technology to directly measure fat, muscle, and bone in each region of your body. It's the gold standard used in clinical research and by elite athletes for a reason.

Only the bloodwork analysis goes through health insurance. All other services are out of pocket pay.
