Our comprehensive sports science services include individual sports nutrition support and comprehensive body composition analysis. These services optimize your athletic performance, improve overall health, and support your specific goals. We provide individualized nutrition planning and guidance tailored to your unique needs and objectives.
Our body composition analysis uses Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) which is the most accurate method for body composition analysis. A DEXA test measures your unique body composition and helps determine your personal caloric requirements. It provides an accurate assessment of your body composition and helps you and your care team to better plan and evaluate your nutrition and training progress.
Our sports science services are provided by performance nutritionist Alan Kenny.
A referral from a physician is not required to receive an appointment with our sports nutrition services.
DEXA
Our body composition analysis uses DEXA, which is the most accurate method for body composition analysis based on a three-compartment model that measures bone mineral content, fat mass and fat-free mass. A DEXA scan can provide valuable information about your body composition and bone density, and inform nutrition choices based on your resting metabolic rate. In addition, the DEXA provides regional body fat results for the arms, legs, waist and hips, and can also do a reading for abdominal, or visceral fat. Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances, increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Please note that DEXA scans do subject you to small amounts of radiation. A whole-body scan produces a level of radiation equivalent to flying by airplane from Vancouver to Toronto.
