Why get a DEXA scan near Little Havana instead of a gym scale?
Type 2 diabetes and heart disease run through too many Little Havana families, and visceral fat (the fat around your organs) is the earliest measurable warning sign. A DEXA scan isolates it precisely, so you can act on a number instead of a family history.
At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.
Every scan includes total and regional body fat, pound-precise lean mass by limb, visceral fat, bone density (T-score and Z-score), and left-right symmetry analysis. See the full report breakdown on the DEXA Scan Miami page, or the science behind it in our complete DEXA guide.

My father and both uncles are diabetic. My DEXA showed my visceral fat was already in the warning zone at 34. Nobody could see it, I'm not heavy. A year of work later it's down 40%. Eight minutes from my place off Calle Ocho. Best money I've spent on my health.
