A Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test gives you a precise number of calories your body burns per day at rest. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or optimize your health and nutrition, this number is a key element of making informed dietary decisions. You’ll also learn what percentages of calories that you burn at rest are from fat and from carbohydrates — these metrics are critical to assessing and strengthening your metabolism.
After fasting for 10 hours, you’ll sit comfortably for 30 minutes wearing a heart rate monitor and a special mask that detects variations in the air you exhale. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.
Once you’ve had a baseline test, we recommend coming in when you’ve made significant adjustments to your diet or exercise routines.
We are 100% insurance-free — that means transparent pricing and no surprises. Depending on your plan, you may be able to pay with an HSA or FSA or submit your receipt for reimbursement.
The test itself takes 30 minutes. Only at Human Powered Health, your test will be followed by a 30-minute data review with a Master’s-level performance physiologist to analyze the results together.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours prior to your assessment. Avoid consumption of food and beverages other than water a minimum of 10 hours prior to your assessment. Be sure to come hydrated.
You’ll leave with a precise number of calories that your body burns per day at rest, as well as the percentages of those calories that come from fat and from carbohydrates. With this, you can make dietary decisions and nutrition changes to strengthen your metabolism.
