GLP-1s can drop a lot of weight. They also drop muscle and bone. The scale will celebrate either way. A DEXA scan will not.

Baseline before the big drop
If you haven’t had your DEXA scan yet, do it now — even if you’re already a month in. This scan is crucial for establishing a baseline number to protect, especially if you're considering weight loss with GLP-1 medications.
Every 8–12 weeks is the ideal frequency for a DEXA scan, which helps track how fat and lean muscle mass change. If your dose of GLP-1 has recently increased or your training regimen has altered, consider scheduling a scan monthly to better monitor your weight loss progress.
Bring the report to your prescriber. The DEXA scan provides essential evidence for discussions about protein intake, lifting routines, and dosage. Our focus is not on prescribing but rather on facilitating conversations about GLP-1 and weight loss.
Your prescriber manages your medication, including treatments like GLP-1 for effective weight loss. We provide you with comprehensive data from your DEXA scan, including measurements of fat, muscle, visceral fat, and bone, taken consistently at each visit to ensure that every decision is based on real data. HSA and FSA cards accepted. Your plan determines what's eligible.
