Metabolic Testing

The resting metabolic rate test is important for clients who struggle with a slower metabolism and athletes who strive to elevate their performance.  We use the MedGem indirect calorimeter device to determine your basal metabolic rate.  This device accurately measures oxygen consumption to determine resting metabolic rate (RMR).  Your RMR is the amount of energy (or calories) that your body consumes each day without additional activity.

The RMR can help screen for abnormally low metabolic rates, and pinpoint the precise caloric intake needed for weight loss, weight gain, or maintaining weight.  Knowing your resting metabolic rate can help you understand energy balance and provides the critical information needed to achieve nutrition and weight goals.
