Metabolic Testing in Green Bay

A global bio-marker of your total mitochondrial function influenced by lifestyle, lung function, heart strength, circulations, fat metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, toxicity, nutrient status, hormonal balance, liver and kidney function, fitness, and more.

Overall score that combines Energy Quotient, Metabolic Factor, Carbohydrate Factor, Fitness Factor, and Fat Burning Factor. The Bio Energy testing algorithms use these values to compute you biological index relative to proper functioning of a set age.

Refers to how many calories your body burns over 24 hours at rest. Consequently, this is the major factor in weight management problems. If your RMR measurement is too low, then you will have difficulty losing weight. RMR testing is done by indirect calorimetry.

Compares your demographically expected resting metabolic rate with your resting metabolic rate. Genetics and body composition impact this. THYROID hormones, adrenal function, and sleep are important to this metric.

Heart rate while you are laying in bed or sitting down relaxing.

Your resting respiratory rate is the number of times you breath in 1 minute when you are at rest.

Evaluates the effect of prolonged stress on the body. A result < 100% would indicate high stress.

Measures resting fat metabolism. Eating too many carbs can cause your carbohydrate factor to go down. Surprisingly, about 80% of the population is sensitive to carbohydrates in this way. An optimal value would be less than 90.

Evaluates lung function by the maximum amount of air you can intake in one breath.

Represents efficiency of turning oxygen into power. To get a score over 100, you must have a good Energy Quotient along with good muscle mass and fitness. Accordingly, you are in great shape if your FF is over 100.

The result determines your ability to metabolize fat for energy. Ideally, the harder you work, the more fat you will burn before using carbohydrates.

The maximal amount of oxygen you can use in one minute. However, vo2 max testing was not done unless you exercised until exhaustion and reached maximum heart rates. It is most commonly used for endurance athletes, but it is a great indicator of your energy production potential.

Your optimal heart rate to burn the MAX amount of FAT possible. This would be your target heart rate for exercise. Often it is better to create a target zone around this value because it is very hard to account for natural variability in your heart rate.

Heart rate where you produce maximal energy from O2 without going into lactic acid metabolism. It is often a moderate intensity, but going past it can start to get difficult. Interval training with brief periods at this HR will help stimulate the mitochondrial function and improve health.

We use bio-impedence to measure body fat. It refers to the percent of body weight that is due to fat. This is a better indication of health compared to the body mass index bmi which only uses height and weight to make a calculation.

Calories burned each hour while exercising at Fat Burning Heart Rate.

Calories burned each hour while exercising at Anaerobic Threshold Heart Rate.

Your optimum daily calories to maintain.

Your optimum calories to lose 1 pound per week.

Weight Loss Calories: Amount of daily calories to lose weight if you don't exercise.
