Body Fat and Muscle Composition Testing

Do you know how much muscle and fat you have? Find out how many calories and what is a good weight for you. Take this painless test. You need to not eat or drink for 3 hours prior to the test. The machine measures the water in your body and can tell you how much muscle you have. We will help you change the body fat to muscle with proper eating and exercise.

Indirect Calorimeter

Do you want to know how many calories you need to maintain your weight? Are you tired of guessing how much food is enough, but not too much to gain weight? If so, we invite you to take the MedGem test. This indirect calorimetry test is the only accurate and clinically feasible method of measuring energy expenditure. It is called "indirect" because the caloric burn rate is calculated from a measurement of oxygen uptake. It is a simple 10-20 minute test where you breathe into a special hand held machine to determine how many calories you burn at rest.
