We are proud to offer metabolic testing powered by PNOĒ, the world’s first clinical-grade, portable metabolic analyzer. While the science of breath analysis traces its roots to the early 20th century—when physiologists first began decoding the fundamental relationship between oxygen consumption and human energy—it was long confined to university labs and elite hospitals due to the large, expensive equipment required. In 2016, PNOĒ revolutionized this field by miniaturizing hospital-grade technology into a non-invasive device that enables analysis of 23 distinct biomarkers through a simple breath test. By measuring exactly how your heart, lungs, and cells use oxygen, we can deliver a level of personalization previously unavailable, ensuring your health strategy is built on your unique biological blueprint rather than guesswork.
PNOE Metabolic Testing
Metabolic testing for weight loss
For our patients navigating life after bariatric surgery or those struggling with weight management, PNOĒ offers a critical window into the “black box” of your metabolism. One of the most common challenges in weight loss is metabolic adaptation—where the body “downshifts” its caloric burn in response to weight loss, leading to frustrating plateaus. Through Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing, we can precisely determine your daily caloric needs and, more importantly, your Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER). This metric reveals your fuel preference, indicating whether your body primarily burns fat or carbohydrates at rest. A high resting RER can indicate a reliance on sugars, signaling insulin resistance or metabolic inflexibility. With this data, we can prescribe a tailored nutrition plan to train your metabolism to more efficiently oxidize fat, supporting sustainable weight maintenance and optimizing the long-term success of your bariatric procedure.
Metabolic testing for athletes and general health
For athletes seeking to unlock peak performance and patients dedicated to longevity, this technology serves as the ultimate benchmark of physiological health. For the athlete, PNOĒ goes beyond standard heart-rate tracking by identifying your specific “FatMax” zone—the intensity at which you burn the most fat—and your VO2 Max, the gold standard for aerobic fitness. We can pinpoint mechanical or respiratory limitations that may be holding you back and develop training protocols to improve ventilatory efficiency and recovery times. For our longevity-focused patients, it is essential to know that VO2 Max is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality. By assessing your biological age and mitochondrial function, we provide a tangible “vital sign” of your future health, bridging the gap between simply “feeling better” and scientifically demonstrating that you are better.
