Nutrition testing is important to determine the amount and type of body fat you carry and to assess your unique metabolism. Both tests are recommended if you want to lose weight, or improve your body composition. All nutrition testing is performed out of our Alexandria, VA office location. The DEXA SCAN will assess your body fat and evaluate your bone density and METABOLISM TESTING will help your dietitian nutrition measure how efficient your metabolism is so she can accurately design a nutrition plan with the right amount of calories and macronutrients to help you meet your weight, body composition and health goals.
