RESTING METABOLIC RATE

Understand your metabolism

Have your resting metabolic rate (RMR) tested in our Harley Street clinic, London or at Southdown Medical Clinic, Harpenden (Hertfordshire). An understanding of your energy needs provides a sound scientific basis for any weight loss or maintenance plan. This can then be matched with your energy intake, depending on your goals. If you are also interested in knowing the type (fat and carbohydrate) and amount of fuel that you are using at rest, then please see Substrate Utilisation & Energy Expenditure Assessment. Our resting metabolic rate assessments are performed at 25 Haley Street, London and take from as little as 1 hour of your time.

ENERGY EXPENDITURE + SUBSTRATE UTILISATION

How much fat does your body burn?

This assessment allows us to measure oxygen consumption can carbon dioxide production during a range of activities. This means that we can calculate energy expenditure (calories required) and substrate utilisation (amount of macronutrient used i.e fat / carbohydrate). By using this technique, we can measure maximal rate of fat utilisation (or FatMax) in our London or Harpenden based clinic. In addition, this assessment is often combined with a VO2max and a lactate threshold test. Testing your metabolic flexibility as well as setting key training zones.

BODY COMPOSITION (DEXA SCAN)

A stainable weigh loss programme needs accurate data on current and future measures including body mass, lean mass and fat mass. At our London based Harley Street clinic, we use DEXA imaging to determine percentage of body fat in our friendly London or Harpenden based facility. This measurement can provide much more information than a simple scale about your disease risk and progress over time. DEXA imaging can also help these sports mean and woman achieve their personal goals.

General tiredness is an everyday part of life. Fatigue is a more long term issue with the feeling of constant exhaustion, burnout and lack of energy. Indeed, there is often a lack of motivation and chronic fatigue to consider. This issue can feed into our ability to exercise and interfere with sporting performance resulting in overtraining syndrome. At 25 Harley Street we will run a serious of bloods that will highlighted any fundamental issues, should these be present.
