RMR Metabolism Test
Resting Metabolic Rate analyzes your O₂ consumption & CO₂ production while you’re at rest.
RMR testing determines how many calories your body burns daily while at complete rest. It gauges the oxygen you inhale versus the carbon dioxide you exhale to estimate your baseline energy expenditure. Your RMR forms the foundation of daily caloric needs, since it covers essential bodily functions such as breathing, circulation, and cellular processes.
In under 20 minutes, our non-invasive breath test, without labwork and with lab-grade accuracy, instantly analyzes 23 biomarkers that assess vital areas, including energy needs, cellular function, heart & lung fitness, fat-burning efficiency, and biological age. Based on your personalized data and goals our team of nutritionists and metabolic experts can design a customized meal and fitness plan. Your results can be measured on a regular basis to help you achieve results.
Who & What It’s For
Weight Management – Individuals aiming to lose, gain, or maintain weight use RMR data to design more accurate nutrition plans.
Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts looking to optimize performance and recovery can benefit from precise metabolic information to refine their fueling strategies.
Health-Conscious Individuals interested in understanding their metabolism, spotting potential discrepancies (e.g., underactive thyroid), or simply wanting more control over their health.
Benefits
- Personalized Nutrition – Knowing your exact calorie burn at rest helps create effective meal plans.
- Better Weight Control – Accurately monitoring energy intake relative to RMR can guide adjustments in diet or exercise.
- Metabolic Insights – Identify if your metabolism is faster or slower than average, which can highlight possible medical issues.
- Track Progress – Periodic testing reveals if RMR changes over time due to diet, exercise, or other factors.
- An RMR session typically lasts 20- 30 minutes from start to finish. The actual measurement phase often lasts 10 to 20 minutes while you lie or sit quietly. Additional time accounts for setup, instructions, and calibration.
How to Prepare
Fasting – Avoid eating or drinking anything but water for at least four hours before the test.
No Exercise or Stimulants – Refrain from rigorous exercise, caffeine, and nicotine for about 12 hours to ensure an accurate reading.
Stay Relaxed -Arrive well-rested and stress-free; even mild activity or anxiety can affect results.
Follow Professional Guidance – If you take medications that might alter metabolism, ask your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
By measuring how many calories your body expends at rest, RMR testing offers precise, individualized data that supports better nutrition planning, weight management, and a deeper understanding of your metabolic health.
