Inside DEXA, VO2 Max, And Longevity Testing - Measure Up’s CEO
·48 min·4 clips
Sascha Levitt, CEO of Measure Up, joins the Science of Fitness podcast to discuss how his company has grown from a single commercial DEXA body composition service into Australia's largest private bone density scanning network, now operating 19 mobile 'bone buses' nationwide and expanding into VO2 max, grip strength, and lactate threshold testing. The conversation covers the clinical dangers of osteoporosis, the significant limitations of BMI and bioelectrical impedance compared to DEXA, and the strong case for preventative biometric screening to reduce healthcare costs. Sascha and host Kieran also explore why insurance companies and government health policy have been slow to adopt evidence-based measurement, and how accessible longevity testing can fundamentally change individual health behaviours.
