'MY WHY'
Pictured left is both my 'WHY' and my 'HOW'. It was on this night that I shot up in bed in the middle of the night and thought "What's Your Why?"....now that is a name I could use for my practice, AND an assessment question for my patients. I want to help as many people as I can begin to care about their health and muscle mass, as much as I do. It is in our muscles, that lies the key to longevity and high functioning as we age. Below is an article I wrote that I had trouble getting published due to unavoidable limitations and bias, but an important read, and it was my DNP project that made me realize I want to do this for the rest of my life. ~Bonnie Diane Costa, DNP, FNP-BC~
Why should we find out our body composition?
EVERYONE should scan annually or every other year; to be sure they are maintaining skeletal muscle year to year. 4-6% of muscle is lost per decade starting around 35 years of age if we don't train to keep it.
People intentionally losing weight with lifestyle or medications NEED to scan during that journey. This is my expert medical opinion as a muscle enthusiast and Obesity Medicine Specialist. ~Dr. Bonnie Costa
