Metabolic Testing

Metabolic Testing

We use state of the art equipment to measure your metabolism, not calculate it. A breathing test, called indirect calorimetry, is used to measure the amount of oxygen you use and carbon dioxide that you breathe out.

Dr. John Bock has been specially trained to determine precisely how many calories a day your body burns, as well as if you are burning your own fat to lose weight. This test is considered the gold-standard in determining an individual’s calorie needs.

Hypothyroid and diabetic clients struggle with weight and are concerned if their metabolism has been affected. Indirect Calorimetry is the only test that can accurately determine metabolic rate in these populations. If you have struggled with your weight and have questions about how efficiently your body burns calories, ask about our metabolic testing.
