RealFeedApp BodySpec opens new store in Oakland to track body composition
BodySpec opened a new Oakland store selling DEXA scans for under $60 to track muscle loss from GLP-1 drugs. One in eight Americans takes GLP-1, and 25–40% of weight lost on these treatments is lean muscle mass.

- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- BodySpec opened a new location in Oakland to perform DEXA scans, a low-dose X-ray method that separates body tissues into fat, lean mass, and bone. The scan takes about 12 minutes and costs less than $60.
- Why it matters
- This helps track muscle loss, which often occurs when taking GLP-1 weight loss drugs that do not show the composition of weight loss on standard scales.
