Measuring Resting Metabolic Rate
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) measures the amount of energy your body uses at rest, providing essential data to personalize nutrition and exercise plans for optimal health and effective weight management. By understanding your RMR, we can create a strategy that aligns with your specific metabolic needs, helping you achieve your wellness goals with greater precision and efficiency.

Measuring Metabolic Efficiency
Metabolic Efficiency Testing measures how effectively your body utilizes carbohydrates and fats for energy during exercise. This data helps us create personalized training and nutrition strategies tailored to improve athletic performance, endurance, and overall health. By understanding your body’s unique fuel usage, we can optimize your workouts and nutrition to help you reach your peak potential.

Measuring VO2 Max
VO2 Max testing measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise, offering valuable insights into your cardiovascular fitness and endurance capabilities. This data helps us tailor training programs to enhance your performance, increase stamina, and improve overall fitness, ensuring you train smarter and reach your full potential.
METABOLIC TESTING FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Understanding your calorie burn is key to maintaining healthy weight.
Exceeding your body’s caloric burn can lead to gradual weight gain, while falling below it may disrupt your metabolism and hormonal balance. PNOĒ is a reliable tool that precisely measures your calorie burn and calculates your optimal calorie intake for maintaining a healthy weight. This allows you to make informed, confident decisions about your nutrition and exercise to achieve your health goals and maintain balance.
Metabolic Testing for Nutrional Weight Loss and Athletic Performance
Micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and other essential compounds, play a crucial role in maintaining various vital functions in our bodies, such as immune support, energy production, and metabolic health. The PNOĒ device detects deficiencies in these critical areas, including the lungs, heart, and metabolism, allowing us to identify specific gaps in your nutrition. This insight enables us to create targeted nutrition and supplement plans to optimize your health and performance.

THE BENEFITS OF METABOLIC TESTING

Weight Loss
Metabolic slowdown is the #1 reason diets fail. As metabolism slows with age or lifestyle changes, it becomes harder to lose weight and maintain health. Understanding and addressing your metabolism can help you achieve lasting results and better overall health.

Performance
Oxygen flow through the lungs, heart, and cells is essential to performance. It fuels every muscle contraction, enhances endurance, and supports overall vitality. Proper oxygenation improves athletic capacity, recovery, and energy production, ensuring the body can perform at its best during both activity and rest.

Longevity
Oxygen (O2) is the strongest predictor of longevity and chronic disease. Proper oxygenation plays a critical role in maintaining overall health, slowing the aging process, and preventing the onset of chronic conditions. Ensuring optimal oxygen levels in the body can enhance well-being and support long-term vitality.

Workout
Training tailored to your limitations and customized to fit any equipment or program you're using ensures maximum effectiveness. This personalized approach helps you overcome obstacles, improve performance, and achieve your fitness goals, no matter the tools or methods you prefer to use.

Nutrition
A program customized to your preferences, incorporating your specific calorie, macro, and micronutrient requirements. This personalized approach ensures that your nutrition plan supports your unique health goals, optimizing performance, energy, and overall well-being.

Analysis
A comprehensive assessment of your metabolic, lung, and heart fitness, guided by an expert. This deep dive provides valuable insights into your overall health, helping you understand key areas for improvement and optimize your performance and wellness.
