Resting Metabolic Rate Test

Service Description

Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the minimum energy expenditure your body uses on a daily basis to function. This is also referred to as your "caloric burn rate". Determining your RMR is useful for individuals looking to lose, maintain, or gain weight (muscle mass). Everybody is different and everybody uses different amounts of energy based on body size, muscle mass, gender, genetics etc. Determining your RMR allows you to make informed decisions around your diet to help achieve weight loss or muscle gain. During this test you can expect to be seated or lay down and be completely relaxed for 15 minutes while breathing into a mask which measures your oxygen consumption. Your energy expenditure is recorded constantly based on your oxygen consumption and your daily energy expenditure is determined through averaging the results. Along with a sweat test, this session includes a basic health history, intake exam, body composition assessment, and vitals. From this test you will get... - A full digital copy of your results - Your individualized metabolism score - Your resting heart rate - A heart rate variability score - Recommended daily caloric balance - A detailed report outlining health recommendations based on your results Requirements: - Must be fasting, 4 hours before testing - Do not smoke, use nicotine, or any stimulants including caffeine for 24 hours prior to testing - Do not participate in vigorous activity 24 hours prior to testing - Wear comfortable clothing *Recommended to test earlier in the day and be well rested
