A slow metabolism occurs when the body burns fewer calories at rest, making weight loss difficult despite diet and exercise. This can be influenced by factors such as age, hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, stress, muscle loss, genetics, and metabolic adaptation from repeated dieting.
Rather than focusing solely on calories, our approach evaluates the underlying contributors to metabolic slowdown.
Our metabolic assessment measures how efficiently your body burns calories at rest, providing insight into metabolic slowdown that cannot be estimated through calculators or at-home tests.
The test is completely noninvasive and takes approximately 10–15 minutes.
Your data is reviewed by our physician, who develops a personalized metabolic report.

Hormonal imbalances can slow metabolism by affecting energy, muscle mass, and fat storage. When key hormones are out of balance, weight loss may become more difficult despite consistent effort.
Hormone therapy is used to restore balance and support metabolic function based on lab results and individual needs. Options may include pellets, injections, topical creams or gels, and oral medications—each selected and monitored by our medical team.
