How It Works
PNOE testing is a non-invasive metabolic assessment that measures your body’s oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output while you breathe through a specialized mask connected to a state-of-the-art metabolic analyzer. The test captures over 5,000 data points in real time, providing a detailed view of:
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) — your daily caloric needs at rest
- Fat vs. Carbohydrate Utilization — how your body burns fuel for energy
- Cardiorespiratory Efficiency — how well your lungs, heart, and muscles work together
- Metabolic Flexibility — how effectively your body transitions between energy sources
What the Test Reveals
The results of your PNOE test provide a personalized blueprint for optimizing health and performance. Our clinicians analyze your data to identify:
- Whether your metabolism is underactive, overactive, or imbalanced
- Hidden inefficiencies such as poor oxygen uptake or mitochondrial dysfunction
- Potential barriers to weight loss, energy production, or endurance
- Ideal macronutrient ratios for your metabolic type
Applications of PNOE Metabolic Testing
PNOE testing is an invaluable tool for patients pursuing:
- Medical Weight Management — ensures calorie and nutrient plans are scientifically accurate
- Hormone Optimization — aligns metabolic function with hormonal balance
- Athletic Performance — enhances training efficiency and recovery capacity
- Longevity and Wellness — tracks metabolic resilience and oxygen efficiency over time
Why PNOE is Different
Unlike generic calorie calculators or wearable devices, PNOE provides clinically validated metabolic data used by elite athletes and medical professionals. The precision of this technology allows us to fine-tune nutrition, exercise, and therapy protocols to your exact physiological profile.
