"𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?"

You're juggling tasks, fighting deadlines, mentally exhausted - and you assume all that effort is revving up your burn rate.

But the truth?

It's the opposite.

Mental stress feels like work.

You're drained, wired, foggy.

So it's easy to believe your metabolism must be firing too.

But what's really happening inside your body tells a different story.

Chronic stress leads to:
↑ Cortisol
↓ Thyroid hormone
↑ Blood glucose
↑ Visceral fat
↓ Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

🧠 One study from Endocrinology found that elevated cortisol decreases brown adipose (fat-burning) activity and lowers overall metabolic rate.

Another study in Psychosomatic Medicine found that daily stressors can suppress metabolic rate for up to 24 hours.

👉 Translation?

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.

You don't need a guess.

You need real metabolic data, so you can adjust your training, nutrition, and recovery accordingly.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲.

It's a performance metric.

And it's one most people never test.

You train to run faster.

You train to lift heavier.

But how often do you train to recover deeper?

In a world that glorifies hustle, rest feels like slacking off.

But if you want to build resilience, burn fat efficiently, and bounce back stronger - rest is the skill that makes it happen.

At DexaFit, we use real data to measure how well you recover and adapt:
🧪 VO₂ thresholds → Show how long your aerobic system can perform before breaking down
🔥 Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) → Tells us how well you're burning fat at rest - a powerful sign of recovery and stress resilience
🧠 Low stress = better RER, better RMR, better HR recovery
🧬 These metrics tell the story your wearable can't: Are you just resting… or actually restoring?

Most people treat recovery like an afterthought.

But elite performers treat it like a training block.

Because rest isn't what happens when the work stops.

It's what allows the next level of performance to begin.

💡 Recovery is a system.

And like any system, it can be measured - and improved.

✅ Want better stress resilience?

✅ Faster fat-burning?

✅ Stronger aerobic base?

Start by measuring how well your body rests.

𝗔𝗟𝗠𝗜: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗠𝗜

BMI is outdated.

It doesn't distinguish between fat and muscle.

It tells you nothing about how strong you are, how well you move, or how protected your body is as you age.

👉 That's why we use ALMI - Appendicular Lean Mass Index.

ALMI tells you how much muscle you carry relative to your height.

And more importantly:
✅ How you compare to gold-standard norms
✅ Where you fall on the health and performance spectrum
✅ Exactly how many pounds of muscle you'd need to reach the 75th percentile for your age and gender

📊 This is the muscle metric that actually matters - and we calculate it automatically with your DEXA scan.

🧠 According to the Journal of Gerontology, low ALMI is linked to higher risk of sarcopenia, disability, and early mortality.

In plain terms: Less muscle = more risk.

More muscle = more resilience, energy, and independence - now and for decades to come.

💥 And as Peter Attia says: "Muscle is the organ of longevity." The truth?

Most people don't know how much muscle they really have - or how much they need.

At DexaFit, you'll walk away with your ALMI score and a clear plan to improve it.

You don't need six-pack abs, perfect habits, or a race on your calendar.

In fact - you might be surprised to hear this - most of our clients aren't athletes.

They're parents, professionals, and people juggling work, stress, family, and life.

You don't need to be perfect to start.

You just need to be curious.

Curious about how your body works - and what's possible when you stop guessing and start measuring.

We replace vague goals like "get healthier" or "get fitter" with real numbers:
📊 Body comp, metabolism, thresholds, visceral fat, cardio efficiency, recovery…
Not because you have to chase performance.

But because clarity makes change easier.

You've been working in your body your whole life.

Now you get to work with it.

🧠 You bring the questions.

🛠️ We've got the tools.

Let's find out what your body's trying to tell you.

"I was doing everything right - and still burning out." Sound familiar?

That's what our client told us told us before her first DEXA + RMR + VO₂.

She was training 5 days a week, eating clean, tracking everything.

But her energy was gone.

Her hormones were out of sync.

And her progress had stalled.

Her testing told the story:
❌ She was under-eating for her training load
❌ Her metabolism had slowed down
❌ Her recovery system was overwhelmed

Once we had real data, everything changed.

✅ She adjusted her fuel to match her output
✅ She reduced unnecessary stress loads
✅ She started training smarter - not harder And now?

Her energy is back.

Her cycle is regular.

Her labs are balanced.

And she feels like herself again.

This is what most fitness programs miss.

They keep telling you to do more.

But sometimes the solution isn't more.

It's precision.

It's recovery.

It's metabolic clarity.

✨ Sometimes the answers aren't what to do - but what to stop doing.

Your blueprint starts with real testing - and it can change everything.

Endurance athletes obsess over VO₂ max.

Doctors obsess over visceral fat.

The real secret?

They're connected.

Most people think of VO₂ max as a measure of cardio training.

And they think of visceral fat as just "extra fat." But here's the truth: they're deeply connected.

🔥 Visceral fat = hidden fat around your organs.

It's hormonal, inflammatory, and metabolically active.

Even lean-looking people can carry high levels without knowing it.

📉 And when visceral fat goes up → VO₂ max tends to go down.

Why?

Because inflammation and excess stress hormones make your heart and lungs work harder.

Oxygen delivery gets less efficient.

Recovery slows.

Energy drops.

👉 Translation: More visceral fat = lower VO₂ max = shorter healthspan.

That's why the gold standard for testing isn't choosing between DEXA or VO₂ - it's measuring both.

✅ DEXA tells you how much hidden fat you're carrying.

✅ VO₂ max tells you how strong your cardio engine really is.

Together, they reveal the overlooked link between your metabolism and your endurance.

⚠️ If you want to increase energy, improve recovery, and extend longevity - you need to know both numbers.

🚀 Book your DEXA + VO₂ Combo today and see how your hidden fat is shaping your fitness ceiling.

It's true… a Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes pretty great.

But the 50g of sugar in a grande?

That's 12 teaspoons - and one hell of a blood sugar crash.

If you're trying to burn fat, destress, or perform at your best at work or in the gym, the last thing you need is a mid-morning glucose roller coaster.

So here's a better option: The Golden Hour Pumpkin Latte - warm, creamy, perfectly spiced… but with 1/5 the sugar.

Same cozy fall vibes.

Same pumpkin spice flavor.

🧠 But this version stabilizes your system instead of spiking it.

The original PSL is a dessert in disguise.

This one?

It's a functional drink - with benefits that support your metabolism, mood, and focus.

This fall, skip the sugar crash.

✅ Try our Golden Pumpkin Anti-Stress Latte instead:
🧡 Pumpkin purée = fiber + potassium
🥥 Almond milk = healthy fats
🌿 Turmeric & ginger = inflammation fighters
🍂 Cinnamon = blood sugar stabilizer
💪 Add collagen or protein for a metabolic boost

It's creamy, spiced just right, and (yes) it's still sweet!

"You can't out-run stress - because it's already rewiring your metabolism."

You feel wired but tired.

Your breath is shallow, your sleep is off, and your workouts feel harder than they should.

That's not a mindset problem.

That's metabolic stress.

Here's how the cycle works:
➡ Chronic stress raises cortisol
➡ Cortisol raises blood sugar + lowers thyroid output
➡ Inflammation builds, visceral fat accumulates
➡ Your VO₂ max - and your metabolic flexibility - plummet

Your body shifts from fat-burning and thriving → to sugar-burning and surviving.
And you didn't even notice it happening.

Most people track calories or workouts.

We track visceral fat, hormones, and VO₂ max - because stress lives in your data.

If you want real calm?

It starts with better oxygen, better recovery, and better metabolic signals.

This is why we test fat, fuel, and fitness - not just weight.

Because what gets measured gets improved.

Same body.
Different test.

Different VO₂ max.

🤔 Ever wondered why?

Here's the truth: VO₂ max is modality-specific.

That means your score depends on whether you're on a treadmill or a bike - because each test challenges your body differently.

✅ Treadmill tests typically read 6-12% higher for most people.

That's because running recruits more total muscle mass and forces your body to support its own weight.

✅ Bike tests can be lower - not because your heart isn't strong, but because local muscle fatigue (the infamous leg burn) can stop the test before you reach your cardiovascular ceiling.

✅ Trained cyclists are the exception.

Years in the saddle mean their bike VO₂ max can equal - or even beat - treadmill results.

So, which test is right for you?

🚴‍♂️ Cyclists or triathletes → Bike test.

It mirrors your sport and gives the most actionable data.

🏃‍♀️ Runners, hikers, or general fitness enthusiasts → Treadmill test for a more complete measure of overall capacity.

🔬 Curious optimizers & high performers → Do both.

Compare the results, spot imbalances, and target your training with precision.

⚠️ Bottom line: Your test should match your goals.

The numbers aren't "wrong" - they're just context-specific.

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗢₂ 𝗺𝗮𝘅 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲?"
That's one of the most Googled fitness questions of all time.

But here's a better one:
👉 What's your current VO₂ max - and how much can you improve it in 8 weeks?

People love percentile charts.

We love progress charts.

Why?

Because VO₂ max isn't just a label - it's one of the most trainable markers of your long-term health and performance.

You can't control your age.

But you can absolutely change your aerobic engine.

We'll test you to find your true VO₂ max using a clinical-grade metabolic cart.

Then we'll design a Cardio Xone Blueprint around your data to:
✅ Improve oxygen delivery
✅ Expand your threshold
✅ Boost recovery, resilience, and energy

Most places will tell you: "You're in the 47th percentile." Cool.

Now what?

At DexaFit, we say:
"You're here.
Here's how to climb."
