DEXA vs. InBody: What’s the difference❓

👉🏻Both help us understand what makes up your weight—fat and lean tissue—but they work differently.

🟣 DEXA uses low-dose X-rays to estimate body fat, lean tissue, and bone mineral. It gives a detailed picture of where fat and lean tissue are located.

🔵 InBody uses a gentle electrical current to estimate body fat, muscle, and body water. It is quick, radiation-free, and useful for following changes over time. It does not measure bone density.

💧 Hydration matters. Dehydration, fluid retention, recent meals, and exercise can affect InBody results. Testing under similar conditions helps make comparisons more reliable.

The numbers may differ between tests. To track progress, stick with the same method and device.

Remember: A drop in lean mass does not always mean muscle loss—it may partly reflect a change in body water.

1. Not sleeping enough — messes with hunger hormones
2. Drinking your calories — juice, soda, lattes add up
3. Snacking between meals — mindless extra calories
4. Eating too fast — you overeat before you feel full
5. Sitting too much — low movement = fewer calories burned
6. Skipping protein — keeps you hungry, burns muscle
7. Not watching portions of healthy food — nuts, oils, granola are calorie-dense
8. Only consistent Mon–Fri — weekends undo your progress

You don’t need another diet. You need to fix the habits quietly working against you.

😅Save this and check off which ones you’re guilty of — even fixing 2-3 can restart your progress.

Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes , it’s brain fog, rage, anxiety, heart palpitations, joint pain, and so much more that gets brushed off as “just stress” or “getting older.”

If you’re 35-50 and something feels off, trust yourself. You’re not imagining it. #

Perimenopause isn’t an on/off switch — it’s a gradual shift that can start way earlier than most people think. However, if periods completely stop before the age of 40 there should be a work up with your doctor for the cause as this can premature ovarian failure . Save this so you have it when you need!

👉🏻Let me tell you more about #6—it could save your life

If you take insulin💉 and develop persistent nausea , vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual fatigue, or rapid breathing, check your glucose and ketones. Diabetic ketoacidosis can occur quickly and sometimes glucose is not extremely elevated, particularly with SGLT2 medications such as Jardiance or Farxiga.
Do not simply assume it is a stomach virus.

Contact your endocrinologist or seek urgent care❗️
