Advanced Diagnostic Testing
We use objective physiologic testing to measure what is actually happening in your body — not just estimate it. This is the foundation of precise, effective care.
Measurement Over Assumption
Traditional metabolic care often relies on indirect measures — weight, BMI, basic labs — that leave fundamental questions unanswered. Our diagnostic approach is different. We directly measure the physiologic parameters that drive metabolic health: how many calories you burn at rest, how your cardiovascular and pulmonary systems respond to exercise, where fat and muscle are distributed in your body, whether your liver shows signs of metabolic stress.
This information transforms clinical decision-making. Instead of generic recommendations, we build treatment plans around objective data. Instead of trial-and-error, we target the specific limitations each patient faces. The result is more precise care — and better outcomes.
Our Diagnostic Services
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)
Gold-standard assessment of cardiovascular and pulmonary function during exercise. We measure VO2 max, anaerobic threshold, ventilatory efficiency, and cardiac response to identify the specific system limiting performance. Essential for fatigue evaluation, surgical risk stratification, and performance optimization.
Indirect Calorimetry (Resting Metabolic Rate)
Direct measurement of how many calories your body burns at rest. This test reveals whether metabolic rate is normal, suppressed, or elevated — critical information for weight management that cannot be estimated from equations. Results guide nutritional and treatment planning.
DEXA Body Composition & Bone Density
Precise measurement of body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by region, visceral adipose tissue, and bone mineral density. DEXA provides objective data for tracking body recomposition, assessing sarcopenia risk, and evaluating osteoporosis — all in a single scan.
FibroScan Liver Elastography
Non-invasive assessment of liver fat (CAP score) and liver stiffness (fibrosis staging). This technology allows us to detect and monitor fatty liver disease without biopsy, track response to treatment, and identify patients at risk for progression to advanced liver disease.
Comprehensive Laboratory Evaluation
We go beyond standard metabolic panels to evaluate hormonal function, insulin dynamics, inflammatory markers, lipid subfractions, and other targeted analytes based on clinical context. Every lab result is interpreted within the larger picture that our physiologic testing provides — because an isolated lab value means far less than the same value understood in context.
