My DEXA Scan: Here’s What I’ll Share (and What I Won’t)

My mom was diagnosed with osteopenia at 50. I’m four years out from that age, and I wanted to know if I was as risk.

In this episode, I’m telling you the whole story: the two and a half hour drive, the appointment itself, and what my results actually showed. I’ll also tell you what I’m choosing not to share, and why that matters just as much as what I do share.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why I finally booked a scan, and how I found a place to go from a rural community
• What the appointment was actually like, start to finish
• My bone density results, and what they tell me about the choices I’ve been making
• Why I’m keeping my body composition numbers private, even though I’m happy with them
• Why a scan result is one point in time, not a verdict on your worth
• What you can start doing right now for your own bone health: training, protein, vitamin D and K, calcium, and screening

This isn’t about fear. It’s about knowing what’s happening in your body so you can do something about it before you’re the one getting the diagnosis.
