Metabolic Testing
Metabolic testing is a valuable tool for understanding how your body functions at a fundamental level, providing insights that can be applied to improve your overall health, fitness, and wellness.
At VELLIO Clinic we use PNOĒ metabolic breath testing technology, which is a clinical-precision, non-invasive breath analysis designed to assess oxygen usage and carbon dioxide clearance at rest and during exercise.
The PNOĒ assessment offers the most accurate baseline measurements of 23 biomarkers across four major systems of the human body: Cells, Lungs, Heart & Blood Circulation, and the Nervous System.
The results provide our expert team and the client with accurate data insights into individual’s biology, forming the basis for optimisation of your personalised nutrition plans, specific exercise or training programmes, setting specific goals to achieve long-term health benefits.
Your metabolic rate is one of the most crucial factors affecting how your body maintains its weight and provides the energy needed for daily activities and sports.
Metabolic Blueprint & Nutritional Optimisation
-
Evaluates the amount of energy that your body requires for normal function, completely at rest. Your resting metabolic rate gives you an indication of the number of calories that you can consume in a day and will be crucial in the accurate determination of your calorie intake and metabolic balance to help you reach your goals.
Metabolic Age & Performance Analysis
-
Evaluates the amount of energy expanded during physical activity, better known as VO2 Max. The volume of oxygen used by your body indicating aerobic capacity and endurance. This assessment will help you to accurately plan your nutritional and exercise strategies to fuel your body for optimal health or elite performance.
Why Metabolic Testing
Here's why metabolic testing matters:
-
Metabolic testing reveals how efficiently your body burns calories at rest and during activity, allowing for tailored nutrition and exercise programs based on your unique metabolism.
-
It helps determine how well your body uses oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide, giving insights into your metabolic efficiency, which is crucial for weight management and overall energy levels.
-
For individuals struggling with weight loss plateaus or chronic health issues, metabolic testing can uncover underlying causes, such as inefficient fat burning, hormonal imbalances, or other metabolic dysfunctions.
-
For athletes, it pinpoints limiting factors in performance, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, or muscular inefficiencies. This data helps create a precise training plan to improve endurance, strength, and overall fitness.
-
It assists in monitoring and managing chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or metabolic syndrome by offering targeted insights into how your metabolism affects these conditions.
-
By understanding your metabolic health, you can make proactive adjustments to your diet, exercise, and lifestyle to prevent future health issues, promoting longevity and well-being.
