At Carolina Clinic for Health and Wellness, we combine physician-guided weight management with advanced Hologic DEXA body composition scanning to provide a more complete picture of your health.
Our approach goes beyond traditional scales and BMI calculations. By evaluating factors such as metabolism, hormones, lifestyle habits, and body composition, we create personalized plans designed for sustainable, long-term success.
Weight gain is often influenced by more than diet and exercise alone. Hormonal changes, metabolism, sleep, stress, medications, and underlying health conditions can all affect your ability to lose weight and maintain results.
That’s why our team focuses on identifying contributing factors and developing a plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and health history.
Comprehensive health review, lab work, and risk assessment.
Practical recommendations designed around your daily life.
Evaluation of factors that may affect weight, energy, and body composition.
Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust your plan.
A standard scale tells you how much you weigh.
A DEXA scan shows what that weight is made of.
Your provider will briefly review your health history, weight management goals, and reason for completing the scan.
You will lie comfortably on a flat surface while the Hologic DEXA scanner measures your body composition. The scan is quick, painless, and does not require any injections or downtime.
Your scan provides information about body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and regional fat distribution.
Your provider will review your results with you and explain how the data can help guide your weight management, nutrition, exercise, or hormone-related plan.
When physician-guided weight management is combined with advanced body composition analysis, we can monitor meaningful progress beyond the scale.
This allows us to identify plateaus earlier, track fat loss versus muscle changes, personalize recommendations, and help patients make more informed decisions about their long-term health.
Medical weight management is supervised by a physician and takes into account your full health picture, including hormones, metabolism, chronic conditions, and behavioral health. It is designed to help address the root causes of weight gain, not just caloric intake.
The scan itself typically takes only a few minutes and is performed entirely in-office.
DEXA uses very low-dose X-ray technology and is considered safe when performed appropriately.
Our DEXA scanning service is focused specifically on body composition analysis, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and visceral fat. It is not used for bone density testing at our clinic.
Not necessarily. DEXA scanning can be used as a standalone baseline measurement or for tracking progress over time. Contact our office to discuss whether a standalone scan is right for you.
Most weight management services are covered by insurance where applicable. DEXA scans are cash-only. We are not a Medicaid provider. Contact our office to verify your specific coverage.
We treat patients 16 and older. Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
Whether you are looking for a trusted primary care provider, hormone therapy, psychology services, allergy testing, weight management support, or med spa treatments, Carolina Clinic for Health and Wellness is here to guide you every step of the way.
