The body is made up of various parts – fat tissue, muscle tissue, bones, connective tissues, water, etc. Your unique body composition can affect many facets of your health and fitness from disease risk to physical function and athletic performance. Body composition analysis with the Bod Pod is the gold standard for providing a simple, accurate, and useful method for evaluating fat mass and fat-free mass.

An individualized measurement of the amount of calories you expend per day at rest. During the test, we measure resting energy expenditure and estimate total energy expended per day. You receive information about your resting oxygen consumption (O2), resting energy expenditure (REE) in kcals/day, and whether you are primarily burning fat or carbohydrates.

We offer 2 modes of testing

Canopy: measurement of the energy burned at rest while awake and not moving, speaking, or talking with overhead canopy

RMR Chamber: gold standard measurement of energy burned at rest while awake; can also measure energy used to digest food (thermic effect of food) in completely sealed room

An individualized gold standard measurement of energy during rest, sleeping, exercise, eating, and performing activities of daily life over a single day. It can provide vital information that can be used to create a specific and personalized program for weight loss, athletic performance, or general health.

This exercise test represents the maximal rate at which your body can consume oxygen for physical work and is considered the best measure of aerobic fitness. Aerobic fitness reflects the ability of your heart, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen to your working muscles during an exercise bout. Additionally, it reflects the ability of your working muscles to use that oxygen to support maximal exercise. Aerobic fitness is used to assess health status and determine one’s risk of chronic disease(s).

This testing can be done on the treadmill or stationary bicycle ergometer

Safe for all populations with physician clearance and supervision

The FatMax protocol, developed by Aster Jeukendrup in 2002, is a multistage, graded exercise test designed to measure fat oxidation at different exercise intensities ranging from very light to near-maximal or maximal effort. From this assessment, you will obtain information about the FatMax and FatMin, which are the intensities at which fat oxidation is at its highest and its lowest, respectively. We will be able to formulate an individualized report of which exercise range you burn fat optimally.

This exercise test is often used to estimate VO₂Max by utilizing established prediction equations for various protocols. Such equations consider the heart rate response to one or more submaximal work rates. Submaximal exercise testing is the most valid and reliable method for predicting cardiorespiratory fitness when done in a laboratory setting where work rate can be accurately measured. Additionally, these tests can provide information about the individual’s functional response to exercise through measurements of heart rate, blood pressure, rating of perceived exertion, and other objective and subjective indices.

Counseling with well-known physicians specializing in obesity, metabolism, and hormone health. You will better understand your individual metabolic profile, including medical causes of weight gain and difficulty with weight loss. We will help you set realistic and achievable goals and expectations based on your personal profile; and we will provide both medical and non-medical treatment options.
