Metabolic Testing

People often talk about metabolism and how it affects your health and wellbeing, but do you actually know how your metabolism works? Your resting metabolic rate is one of the most crucial factors affecting how your body maintains its weight in a healthy range which gives you the energy you need for day-to-day activity.

Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your required calorie intake in order to achieve your goal. Current research confirms that the key to weight loss or gain lies in energy balance. It is so simple… burn more calories than you eat and you will lose weight, eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight.

We specialise in intelligent weight management through metabolic testing. Muscle growth is hard to achieve. Time and time again people don’t succeed in their goal because they simply do not eat enough.

Your resting metabolic rate is one of the most crucial factors affecting your daily calorie output. In order to gain muscle, there are two things required: muscle stimulation through the correct training; and a calorie surplus. Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your required calorie intake in order to be in that surplus.

Oxygen consumption is directly related to calorie burn all you have to do is breathe into a mouth piece for 12-14 minutes, the air you breathe out is analysed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body is consuming. Once the test is complete we will know exactly how many calories you are burning each day, so now we will know how many you need in order to achieve your goal.

Depending on what you are looking to achieve there are a number of different packages available:

• Option 1 Is a 30-minute consultation consisting of a full analysis of your unique metabolic profile and your results will be explained to you on how your body is performing.
• Option 2 Is a 1hr consultation consisting of a full analysis of your unique metabolic profile and results reading. We will look at your lifestyle habits to identify where improvements can be made. We will talk to you in detail about the best ways to boost your metabolism and why it slows down. We will also discuss the calorie content of food, cooking, and training methods in order to get your body to function as best it can.
• Option 3 If there are groups interested in availing of these services discounts are available. We have done a lot of corporate events to date, where companies have had all their employees tested which also benefits the employer.
