I will NEVER weigh myself again after what these tests showed me.
I’ve been wanting to share more about my experience at DEXAFIT NYC dexafitny and Prefusion Health prefusionhealth for a while now, doing The Prefusion Protocol.
I did my first full-body DEXA scan at 5 months postpartum. My weight was up, and my body fat was higher, which wasn’t exactly surprising after having my second baby.
My goal from here is to build about 2 more pounds of lean muscle while working toward losing around 8 pounds of body fat. My visceral fat (fat around the organs) was practically nonexistent, which I am super proud of and want to maintain.
Then we got into my bloodwork, and this is where I learned something I wasn’t expecting.
My SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) was high, which meant my free testosterone was lower than what would be ideal for the amount of athletic training I do. One of the things that can make building and maintaining lean muscle harder is not giving your body enough fuel.
