Assessments & Testing
At the Wellness Institute Clinic, we offer a range of assessment & testing packages to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
Dexa Scan/DXA body composition analysis
A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the gold standard to evaluate your body composition. The scan produces a complete picture of the body’s fat mass, lean mass, and bone density. In addition, the DEXA provides regional body fat results for the arms, legs, android (waist), gynoid (hips), and visceral (abdominal) fat. Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. See DEXA packages below.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Analysis
An RMR analysis measures how many calories you are expected to burn in a day at rest and the overall speed of your metabolism. Your RMR is related to your lean body mass and is a great start to understanding weight gain, loss, or maintenance. The RMR machine analyses your breathing over 10 minutes in a relaxed position. It is an easy, non-invasive test known as the gold standard for determining your caloric needs.
VO2 Max Test
VO2 max (or maximal oxygen consumption) is a measure of your body’s maximum capacity to extract, transport, and utilize oxygen during exercise. Your VO2 is positively correlated with both health and performance making it valuable to know and understand, especially with specific performance goals.
