After 13 seasons in the NFL, Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce isn’t slowing down—he’s just shifting focus. On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, Jason revealed he’s already down 20 pounds since retirement. But it’s not just about the number on the scale. He’s now competing with former teammate Beau Allen in a friendly post-retirement weight loss challenge—with a focus on dropping body fat percentage, not just weight. And his secret weapon? DEXA scanning.
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure,” Jason told Travis. At Bucky Body Center, we couldn’t agree more.
Most people rely on a traditional scale to track their progress—but that only tells part of the story. Weight alone can’t show whether you’re losing fat or muscle, how your metabolism is shifting, or how your bone density is changing with age or lifestyle. A DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) provides a detailed, medically precise snapshot of your body composition, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density, and visceral fat (fat surrounding internal organs). This is the same technology Jason Kelce is using to stay accountable and motivated as he transitions into a new chapter of health and performance.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or just want to feel and function your best, we use DEXA scans as a foundational tool to guide your wellness journey. At Bucky Body Center, our approach is personalized, data-driven, and designed to empower you with real information. From there, we can tailor a performance or recovery plan that might include °CRYO Arctic Chamber therapy, Ballancer Pro Compression, LightStim Red Light Therapy, and functional movement training with Andrew Krewatch, our Director of Physical Training.
Our clients include athletes, performers, and anyone who values precision in their pursuit of health. And yes—Jason Kelce himself has stopped by for a DEXA scan and a chat with Dr. Bucky about optimizing recovery and performance. Because at the end of the day, better data means better decisions.
