#106 - Can your body fat percentage dictate your health? - Melina Elliott & Erica Henderson

Do you know your own body fat percentage?What if I told you, something like a skin fold test, could be over 10% off?And what if you could know your bone mineral density? This is why a DEXA scan is so helpful. Melina Elliott and Erica Henderson, the co-founders of Body Measure, started the first business that could offer this information to the public, in Winnipeg. At body measure you can have your DEXA scan, have your metabolic rate tested, and they even team up with a dietician to help give you steps towards improving your health based on that information. And what’s even MORE exciting… they recently started up a new business, called the Menopause Practice, to help women, pre, peri, and post-menopause optimize their health in one of the most difficult periods of their lives, including hormone replacement therapy. We go over all the testing and interventions they offer to optimize your health.
