Episode 237: Demystifying Body Composition Testing with Dr Grant Tinsley and Dr Eric Helms

On this episode of the FlexDiet Podcast, Dr. Grant Tinsley, Dr. Eric Helms, and I explore the complexities of measuring body composition. We unpack the realities and misconceptions surrounding DEXA scans, a popular tool for assessing body composition. Although often assumed to be 100% accurate, we highlight how these scans can yield significantly varied results.  If you enjoyed this podcast, you can get more from me at MikeTNelson.com/podcast.
