Inside the Longevity Lab: Five Tests, One Body, Countless Revelations

Imagine stepping inside a space where your body stops being a mystery. Where the numbers behind your strength, energy, and longevity finally come into focus. Where science meets personal discovery.

Welcome to the Longevity Lab at BodyView, home of the DEXA Athlete Package - a complete, precision-driven analysis designed to uncover how your body really works, from your metabolism to your bones.

It is more than a health check. It is a guided journey into the systems that define who you are, how you perform, and how you age. Five world-class tests. One complete picture.

 
The Beginning: Stepping Inside the Data-Driven Future of Health

The moment you walk into BodyView, the tone is set. Calm, clinical, but warm. This is not a gym or a clinic. It is a place built for people who want to understand, not guess. Every test in the DEXA Athlete Package is designed to reveal something hidden - not just how you look, but how you function.

While most people measure progress through scales or selfies, BodyView measures what really matters. Here, you do not see “weight” as a single number. You see lean tissue, fat tissue, bone density, metabolic rate, and cardiovascular capacity, all cross-referenced into one unified story - your personal body profile.

 
The DEXA Body Composition Scan

Your first stop is the DEXA Body Composition Scan, the gold standard in precision body measurement. As you lie still on the scanning table, a quiet arm glides over your body, capturing millions of data points. The scan takes only a few minutes, but what it reveals is far beyond what any scale or smart device could show.

The DEXA scan divides your body into specific regions - arms, legs, trunk, and android-gynoid (waist-to-hip) distribution - and calculates how much of your total weight is made up of fat, lean tissue, and bone. It reveals where you store fat, how balanced your muscle distribution is, and how your composition compares to healthy ranges for your age and sex.

For athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts alike, this is game-changing. You can track fat loss and muscle gain precisely, not by guessing from the mirror or depending on water-based impedance scales that fluctuate with hydration. You see exactly what has changed and where.

At the end of the scan, your exclusive BodyCompPro report turns the data into a visual, intuitive summary. You can see your fat and lean mass distribution, your estimated visceral fat level, and your overall body fat percentage. The report includes professional commentary that helps you interpret what those numbers mean - not just whether you’re improving, but how and why.

The DEXA Bone Density Scan

From there, you move to the DEXA Bone Density Scan, which uses the same advanced technology to assess your skeletal strength and bone mineral content. This test is often overlooked, yet it tells a powerful story about your long-term health and resilience.

Bone density peaks in our twenties and naturally declines with age, but lifestyle, nutrition, and training can accelerate or slow that process dramatically. A bone density scan identifies areas of weakness before they become problems, helping you prevent future fractures or conditions such as osteopenia and osteoporosis.

For athletes, bone health is essential. Strong bones anchor strong muscles. For endurance runners, it can highlight stress risks; for lifters, it confirms whether training loads are building or straining the skeleton. For everyone else, it is a window into how ageing, hormones, and nutrition interact beneath the surface.

Once again, the BodyCompPro report distils this complexity into actionable insight. It shows how your bone density compares to population averages, where you sit on the T-score scale, and how to strengthen your skeletal health through targeted nutrition and exercise.

The RMR Test - Revealing the Truth About Your Metabolism

Next comes the RMR test - the Resting Metabolic Rate assessment, often called the “metabolic fingerprint.” Using advanced indirect calorimetry, it measures exactly how much energy your body burns at rest. Not an estimate. Not a formula. Real, personalised data.

The test involves breathing into a mouthpiece while lying still for about 15 minutes. The analyser captures the oxygen you inhale and the carbon dioxide you exhale, allowing it to calculate your energy expenditure with exceptional accuracy.

This is where many people experience an “aha” moment. The number reveals whether your metabolism is faster, slower, or exactly average for your size and body composition. It also tells you how many calories you need just to maintain vital functions - the baseline from which all dietary and training decisions should start.

For those struggling with weight management, this test can be life-changing. Many discover they have been unintentionally under-eating, triggering metabolic adaptation and fatigue. Others find their metabolism is more efficient than expected, meaning they can adjust intake for better results.

The RMR test in the BodyView package includes a metabolic profile analysis, showing your balance between fat and carbohydrate burning, and how to optimise it through diet and training. It is the scientific antidote to calorie myths.

 
The VO₂ Max Test – Measuring Your Engine

If the DEXA scans reveal structure and the RMR test exposes energy use, the VO₂ Max test measures performance potential - the size and efficiency of your body’s engine.

Using the CardioCoach system, BodyView conducts a graded exercise test while you wear a mask that analyses oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in real time. The goal is to determine how effectively your body uses oxygen during increasing levels of effort.

Your VO₂ Max is one of the most powerful predictors of health and longevity. The higher your number, the greater your cardiovascular efficiency and resilience. It is a measure once reserved for elite athletes, now available to anyone serious about understanding their fitness.

But VO₂ Max is more than a performance metric. It reflects mitochondrial efficiency, cardiovascular conditioning, and even cellular ageing. Studies show that higher VO₂ Max scores correlate with longer lifespan and lower disease risk, independent of other factors.

The BodyCompPro performance report translates your raw data into meaningful information. It identifies your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, training zones, and fat-burning efficiency - all essential for building smart training plans. Whether you are training for competition or longevity, these insights redefine what it means to “get fit.”

The 3D Scan

The final element of the DEXA Athlete Package brings all the data together. The 3D body scan creates a full digital model of your body shape and posture, providing precise circumferences and visual progress tracking. It is a fascinating counterpart to the internal data, showing how external shape reflects internal change.

Longevity Index

Combined with all previous results, BodyView generates a Longevity Index - a composite score that integrates muscle mass, bone density, metabolic health, and cardiovascular efficiency. It represents a holistic snapshot of your current healthspan potential.

The Longevity Index is more than a number. It is a personalised health signature. It reveals how balanced your systems are, how efficiently your body functions, and how far you are from your physiological peak. With this information, you can take control of your future health with clarity, not fear or guesswork.
