You can only improve what you measure and we have the top of the line tools to guide your progress and show you the results of all your hard work!

What is Metabolic Testing?

Measuring Resting Metabolic Rate = the number of calories your body burns at rest
Measuring Metabolic Efficiency = the fuel source percentage of fat:carbs oxidation rate you burn during exercise
Measuring VO2 Max = the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during exercise

What can Metabolic Testing do for you?

Metabolic testing allows us to design your optimal nutrition & training plan to help you meet your goals for:

Weight Loss
Fitness Conditioning & Athletic Performance
Muscle Gain

Who can benefit?

Runners
Cyclists
Triathletes
General Fitness for longevity & weight loss

Discover your Metabolic Health

Your metabolism isn’t just the calories you burn. It’s all the vital functions your body runs to use oxygen and keep you alive. PNOĒ scans them with clinical precision and finds the ones that pose a risk for your health and performance.

Science-based metabolic analysis

Biological age

Analyze your biological age as well as how long and well you are estimated to live. According to the American Heart Association this test provides the most reliable and accurate measure of longevity and mortality risk.

Metabolism & cells

Analyze how fast or slow your metabolism is, determine optimal calorie intake for your goal, and measure how effectively your cells burn fats and carbohydrates at rest and during exercise.This information also reveals the risk for metabolic disorders such as Type II Diabetes.

Fat burn & recovery

Analyze how effectively your cells utilize oxygen, burn fat as a fuel source, and clear fatigue metabolites during exercise. This information is also used to determine the optimal macro intake during exercise.

Heart & lungs

Analyze your cardiovascular and lung fitness with gold standard accuracy and understand how these vital organs impact your health and wellbeing.Your lung fitness is evaluated through four distinct metrics that paint the most complete picture of how fit your lungs are and how well you utilize them.

Brain & posture

Analyze how your breath affects cognitive performance, lower back pain and myoskeletal health. Breathing is the most vital function for maintaining high levels of brain activity and avoiding injuries such as lower back pain.

PNOE Personalized Nutrition

Nutrition insights

Calorie intake

Analyze how fast or slow your metabolism is and determine the optimal calorie intake based on your biology and fitness goal.

Macro intake

Analyze how effectively your cells burn fats and carbohydrates and determine the optimal macronutrient intake for your biology and fitness goal.

Workout nutrition

Analyze the rate with which you burn fats and carbohydrates during training and determine the optimal nutrition before, during, and after exercise.

Food types

Determine the part of your body that’s hindering your health and performance and find the food groups that are most helpful to fix it.

Nutrition timing

Determine the meal timing that regulates hunger levels, minimizes sugar spikes and maximizes training benefits.

Weight Loss

Metabolic slowdown is the reason why 9 out 10 diets fail.

Breath analysis provides the gold standard for measuring your metabolism and determining the nutrition and exercise that aligns with one’s biology.

Rehabilitation

The way we breathe is the most potent predictor of skeletal muscular injuries.

Breath analysis provides the gold standard in assessing breathing mechanics and readiness to exercise post-injury.

Longevity

Breath analysis provides the gold standard for assessing biological age and determining and determining the risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart and lung disease.

Resting Metabolic Testing

Provides clues to personalizing your nutrition plan:

Suggested Nutrition Plan
Metabolism at rest
Fat vs. Carbs Burned at Rest

PNOĒ Resting Metabolic Analysis

We measure your metabolic rate, heart, and lung fitness in a short period of time

PNOE will turn data into your report then Coach Debbie will take this data and correlate to your Nutritional Therapy Assessment and intake forms to create a personalized nutrition plan. Note: Functional lab testing assessment is additional but will provide more specific data (ask Debbie for options).

This Resting Metabolism analysis allows us to measure your caloric expenditure and fat burning at rest.

Why get a resting metabolic test?

Your RMR is your body’s baseline caloric requirement. Knowing your RMR enables you to:

Craft individualized calorie intake targets for your goals to help you lose, gain or maintain your weight.

Verify if a training or nutrition program has increased or decreased your metabolism

Compare the speed of your metabolism to others of your gender, age, height, and weight

Resting Metabolic Assessment Procedure:

Make an RMR appointment online here

An appointment is required for this test. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours beforehand.

Refrain from strenuous exercising for at least 12 hours before the test.

Additionally, refrain from eating for at least 5 hours, and using caffeine or nicotine for at least 6 hours before the test.

Lie down on our recliner for about 10 minutes.

You’ll be breathing into a mask, which will collect your exhaled air and analyze it.

Coach Debbie Potts will follow up with a detailed report and an action plan with specific recommendations.

PNOĒ Active Exercise Metabolic Analysis

During endurance training, it’s important to understand how the body produces energy in order to ensure that the proper energy pathways are being activated and trained for your desired gains. If you’re going to take the time to put in the hours, you should be sure that you are getting the most out of every minute.

With the use of PNOĒ metabolic analyzer, gain unparalleled insight into the systems of your body that generate power. Identify gaps in your fitness profile that can be used to push through plateaus in your training like never before.

PNOE Metabolic Testing:

Exercise Metabolism determines your optimal heart rate training zones, peak fat burning zone, and your anaerobic threshold on a treadmill, bike, or both.

Both tests require about a 1 hour, and they can be performed back to back.
When performing the RMR, it is best to schedule an early morning appointment, as the test requires a 12 hour fast beforehand.
Test results provide a snapshot of a person’s current metabolic state.
Results will vary depending on training, sickness, and injury.
It is important to recognize that test results are best used when making lifestyle changes to training, diet, or both.
With the results a personalized training plan can be prescribed.
Follow up tests should be scheduled every 3-4 weeks to monitor progress.

The PNOĒ Active Metabolic Analysis Session Includes:

Find your ventilatory threshold powers, VO2 Max Fat, and Carb max intensities and utilization rates.

A look into your Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Cellular, and Neuromuscular function with regards to exercise performance.

An expert breakdown analysis to form a detailed in-depth view of your physiological profile and current fitness levels (and progress with continued appointments).

Training prescription outline based around your goals and the results of your test sent to you to review with Coach Debbie.
An in-depth report included, with a full breakdown of recommendations and how to implement them.
