Menopause and Body Composition: The DEXA Approach
Menopause is a critical stage in a woman’s life, often accompanied by metabolic changes that
can lead to fat gain, muscle loss, and weakening bones. To address these challenges effectively,
i-thrive.uk offers specialised assessments such as the menopause body composition DEXA
Surrey scan.
The DEXA scan (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is considered the gold standard for
evaluating both bone density and body composition. Women in Surrey can benefit from this
highly accurate tool to understand how menopause is impacting their body and what tailored
interventions can help maintain optimal health.
Similarly, the menopause body composition DEXA Hampshire service provides the same
precision insights for women in the Hampshire area. This regional availability ensures that expert
support and high-quality health assessments are accessible to more individuals, wherever they
are in Southern England.
By tracking changes in lean mass and fat mass pre-, peri-, and post-menopause, i-thrive.uk
empowers women to combat age-related body changes through diet, exercise, and
supplementation—backed by data, not guesswork.
Healthspan vs. Lifespan: Increasing Vital Years
While living longer is often the goal, the quality of those years—also known as “healthspan”—is
what truly matters. Many chronic diseases associated with ageing, including diabetes, heart
disease, and osteoporosis, are preventable or manageable when caught early through testing and
lifestyle adjustments.
That’s why increasing healthspan with diet and health testing is at the core of i-thrive.uk’s
philosophy. Through their science-backed bundles and assessments, individuals can make
meaningful changes to their health trajectory. These services combine nutritional analysis,
hormone panels, genetic testing, and more to deliver a complete health map.
The insights gained from these services enable the creation of personalised health plans that are
both actionable and sustainable. Instead of trial-and-error, clients get clarity and confidence in
their health journey.
