Metabolic testing gives you the exact measurements you need to succeed.

When it comes to weight loss, there is no such thing as one size fits all. In the past, a metabolic test has only been available at universities and hospitals. These tests show precisely how much you burn all day every day. We now offer Metabolic Testing that is a simple, 10 minute breath test.

During the test, the air you breathe out is analyzed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body consumed. This is how your metabolic rate is measured. Once completed, your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. These Zones provide powerful information to help you lose weight.

Your Zones will show you how to eat the maximum amount of food and still lose weight. Your body will be healthy, happy, and satisfied. Imagine how successful you will be when dieting feels this good!

Current research confirms that the key to weight loss lies in energy balance. It seems so simple... burn more calories than you eat. Yet anyone who has ever been on a diet knows it's not that simple. Losing weight and keeping it off is the single most frustrating task thousands of people undertake each year. Metabolic Testing tells you exactly how to tip the scales in your favor.

By testing your unique metabolic rate, we can help you understand why you have had difficulty losing weight in the past and how you can now be successful. Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate Target Caloric Zones. With these Target Zones, all the talk about "cutting calories" and "burning fat" will finally make sense as it applies to YOU!

Energy Balance
One thing holds true in weight management and that is Energy Balance. Simply put, if you burn more energy than your body absorbs, you will lose weight. When food is absorbed into your body it must either be burned as energy or stored as fat. Knowing your metabolic rate helps you to know how to balance what you eat with what you burn.

Energy in the Body
Calories is how we measure the energy in the food we eat and the energy our body uses. Your metabolic rate is how many Calories your body burns in a day. It is how fast your body burns energy. The trick is to balance the Calories you eat with the energy needs of your Metabolism.

Testimonials
After many years of being fed up with trying every fad diet there is, I
found that my family medical office, Southpointe Family Physician's was offering metabolic testing. I went through the testing and began the new way of living that very day! Getting older, I found that I was packing on the pounds with no relief in sight. I tried and tried to no avail. By finding out what my body truely needed, I can say that in only two months I have lost 20 pounds. With the knowledge my physician's office can offer me, their support and along with the exercise program I chose that was right for me, the weight has melted away. Not only the weight, but the inches keep shrinking. I feel great, my skin is glowing and I have a new energy that I haven't had in years.
