Metabolic Testing

• Metabolic rate or metabolism is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the "caloric burn rate". Knowing your metabolic rate is vital for weight loss, as well as, knowing the proper caloric requirements needed to treat various health conditions and disease states.
• The diagnostic test requires a simple "breathing test" lasting about 10 minutes. The technology can be used for any patient where measurement of metabolic rate or oxygen uptake (V02) will be useful, including weight management and nutritional assessment services.
  

Body Composition

• Impendence of the human body, and estimates of mass distribution and body water compartments.
• Bioimpedence testing provides a non-invasive tool for objectively monitoring body composition - a key indicator of health and vitality.
