Why DEXA Scan and VO2 Max Test?
A DEXA scan (DXA scan) is a quick, painless, low-level x-ray that measures body composition, body fat percentage, overall skeletal health, total lean mass, visceral fat, limb comparison for imbalance, and more.
A VO2 max test measures and tracks your current cardiovascular fitness level and provides data to guide and enhance your training. It's the best measure of endurance out there.
DEXA and VO2 max are two valuable preventative healthcare services that can help detect chronic disease early. Tall Tree offers these services in conjunction with our Longevity Medicine Program.
This is gold standard, precision testing.

Precision testing at its finest. To test VO2 max, we use an analyzer that contains sensors to compare the difference between the air going in and the air going out. This gets us an ongoing measure of the amount of oxygen that’s being used up. We pair this with an exercise test on a treadmill or stationary bike that gets progressively harder and harder. When your VO2 plateaus, your VO2 max has been achieved.
VO2 Max is a trainable measure. You can use your results to create personalized training zones to get the most out of your fitness program.
