Have you noticed changes in your weight as you age—whether due to stress, hormonal shifts, lifestyle changes, or chronic illness? Have you hit a plateau despite making healthy diet and lifestyle changes? It may be time to take a closer look at your metabolism. Understanding your Basal Metabolic Rate can unlock the answers you need to break through and achieve lasting results.
For the most accurate results, your body needs to be in a true resting state before your metabolic test.
Here’s how to prepare:
Fast for 8 hours before your appointment (water is okay).
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, and certain medications (like Adderall, Vyvanse, or Ritalin) for 12 hours.
Skip workouts or heavy activity the night before your test.
Take the elevator, not the stairs when you arrive—your body should stay relaxed.
Dress comfortably. You’ll be seated upright and still for about 15 minutes during testing.
Following these steps ensures the most precise metabolic measurement possible.
When you arrive, you’ll complete a short intake form that helps tailor your test and report. Then, you’ll be fitted with a lightweight mask over your nose and mouth and asked to breathe normally while resting.
The entire test takes about 10–15 minutes and is completely noninvasive.
Your data is reviewed by our physician, who will create your personalized metabolic report within three business days. You’ll receive:
An 8-page detailed report of your results
Physician-reviewed commentary and recommendations
A personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan
Accurate metabolic data you can’t get from at-home tests
Scheduling your metabolic assessment is easy:

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to support vital functions like breathing and circulation. Testing your BMR can provide a more individualized estimate of your resting energy needs and help inform calorie targets—especially if you’ve hit a weight-loss plateau. At MD Wellness Center and Med Spa, we offer a clinical metabolic assessment and review the results with you to build a plan aligned with your goals, lifestyle, and medical history.
