Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan

​

A DEXA scan gives you a clear picture of your body—fat, muscle, and bone mass—in just 7–10 minutes. Unlike a regular scale, it shows what’s really happening inside your body. This helps us move beyond just “losing weight” and create a personalized plan that supports your overall health and long-term well-being.

​

Why it’s recommended:
Because weight alone doesn’t tell the whole story. In midlife, protecting muscle and bone while reducing excess fat is key to boosting metabolism, improving energy, and supporting long-term health. DEXA helps us track these changes so you can focus on what truly matters—not just the number on the scale.

Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)

​

Track your blood sugar in real time with this affordable, easy-to-use tool that helps you see how your diet affects energy, cravings, and weight management. Ideal for those with insulin resistance or metabolic challenges, this data allows me to create a personalized nutrition plan tailored to your body’s unique glucose responses.

​

Why it’s recommended:
Because every woman’s body responds differently to food. A CGM shows your unique patterns so we can fine-tune your nutrition to support stable energy, fewer cravings, and better weight management. It’s especially helpful for active women who want to use carbs for energy during exercise, or for those who want to make peace with the carbs they enjoy.

Micronutrient & Metabolic Testing

 

Optimal nutrition is essential for energy, metabolism, and hormone balance. Functional nutrient testing using blood, saliva, and urine can reveal which vitamins, minerals, and metabolic markers may be out of balance, helping explain symptoms such as fatigue, cravings, hormonal issues, and digestive challenges. Food tracking apps can’t always capture your body’s unique needs, but lab testing provides precise insights, allowing us to create a nutrition plan that truly works for you.

​

Why it’s recommended:
Nutrient deficiencies are common among women in midlife during hormonal transitions. Hidden imbalances often contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, dry skin, and digestive issues. Accurate testing allows us to understand the “why” behind your symptoms and create a nutrition plan that truly supports your body’s needs.
