HI Friends. I am looking to get a dexascan in January prior to my next year of training and racing. My wife is getting it as a Christmas present for me. Any recommendations for where in NY she should get the gift card to?
I would prefer that we keep the $ in the WGM family 🙂

@John LaGue can share his experience!

maybe i make this a WGM perk and we ping Dylan @Johness Dailay 👀

Yea, I used Different Health through Dylan. It was not necessarily the cheapest (probably $40 more than some other NYC spots), but they were really flexible with my schedule since I needed it to be outside of business hours.

They actually outsource the dexa to Extension Health that @adam wilkins mentioned. So that's where I actually did the scan

I'll check out Extension then since we have two votes for them. I have a feeling I'll start with dexa then go down the vo2max and blood draw path :)

Chiming in here with my Extension Health advisor hat on! I'd actually recommend doing the full Comprehensive Diagnostics package here. It's a really great value for $999 - you get full body DEXA (body comp + bone density), RMR + Vo2max test, comprehensive bloodwork and (where the value is) a consult w a longevity doctor.

You can do a DEXA on its own but it's not the best value tbh
