This Package Includes
DEXA Bone Density Testing
Osteoporosis is, in part, a consequence of menopause. It can lead to fractures and significant bone deformity like the dowager’s hump. The heartening news is that bone loss can be assessed simply and painlessly - and before there are tragic consequences - with DEXA Bone Density Testing.
DEXA Body Composition Scan
Your weight as measured by the scale is far from the whole story. The scale does not tell you, as the DEXA Body Comp Scan does, how much muscle mass and body fat you have.
It’s important to know because the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn – and the quicker you reach the leaner body you want.
DEXA is also very motivating. Regardless of what the scale says, you know you’re on the right track. You can feel it, you can see it, and your DEXA results prove it.
RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate)
Having trouble losing weight? Your weight-loss struggles may be related to your resting metabolic rate, or RMR. Your RMR is the number of calories your body naturally burns every day with little or no activity.
Everyone’s RMR is different. Knowledge of your RMR can help you understand the optimal type
of exercise plan you need for achieving and maintaining optimal body weight.
The good news is that optimal exercise will improve your body composition by shedding fat and building muscle, which in turn will improve your RMR, transforming your body into a better fuel-burning machine.
With your RMR, your exercise leaders can tailor the Pritikin Program to your body.
Full Thyroid Testing, Including T4 + Free T3
How your thyroid is functioning can impact how many calories you’re burning each day. Full Thyroid Testing will assist you and your physicians in determining the possible need for medication that will increase metabolism and enhance your weight-loss efforts.
Estrogen Level Testing
Are you feeling the effects of perimenopause or menopause, such as hot flashes, dizziness, restless sleep, low libido, and/or feelings of anxiety? Having your estrogen levels assessed can start a discussion with you and your physician about ways to help relieve symptoms and get back to feeling yourself again.
Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FsH) Testing
This simple blood test can help you and your doctor diagnose and evaluate several issues, including ovarian cysts, irregular vaginal bleeding, and infertility. It is also done to confirm the completion of menopause.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is strongly linked to bone loss and quite possibly other health concerns, including diabetes and atherosclerosis. With testing of blood levels of vitamin D, we will identify any deficiencies and, if needed, prescribe appropriate supplementation to help correct them.
Personal nutrition Consultation
The pre- and menopausal years can bring on major changes in our bodies, such as body fat appearing (out of nowhere, it seems) in the abdominal area. A private consultation with one of Pritikin’s registered dietitians can be of great benefit in arresting and even reversing some of these age-related changes.
Personal lifestyle Coaching
Chances are, you’ve spent decades taking care of others. Now it’s time to take care of you. Spend some personal time with our lifestyle psychologist charting out your best life.
The Women’s Health Package, pre-booked, is $1,150 (savings of 20%).
