Metabolic testing measures how your body processes energy, providing detailed insights into your unique metabolic functions. Through various tests, it can assess calorie burn at rest, aerobic capacity, body composition, and even cognitive function. These data points help craft personalized plans for weight management, fitness training, and overall well-being.

RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) Testing

• Purpose: Determines the number of calories your body burns at rest.
• How It Works: Uses indirect calorimetry to measure oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output while you are at rest.
• Benefits:
• Customized Plans: Tailors diet and exercise regimens based on your unique calorie needs.
• Health Insights: Helps understand your baseline metabolism for effective weight management.
• Progress Monitoring: Facilitates adjustments to health plans as your metabolism changes over time.

2. VO2 Max Testing (Maximal Oxygen Consumption)

• Purpose: Assesses the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise, a benchmark of cardiovascular fitness.
• How It Works: Involves graded exercise, typically on a treadmill or bike, with measurements of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
• Benefits:
• Performance Data: Provides a comprehensive view of your endurance, helping set effective training zones.
• Training Optimization: Guides personalized workout programs to boost performance and stamina.
• Benchmarking: Monitors improvements in cardiovascular health over time.

3. DEXA Scan (Body Composition and Bone Density)

• Purpose: Analyzes body composition, including fat mass, lean muscle mass, and bone density.
• How It Works: Utilizes dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to produce detailed images of your body.
• Benefits:
• Detailed Analysis: Offers insights into fat distribution and muscle mass.
• Bone Health: Assesses bone density, crucial for preventing osteoporosis.
• Health Risk Tracking: Helps identify and manage risks associated with high levels of visceral fat.
