PNOE Metabolic Testing

Metabolic Breath Testing Meets Integrative and Functional Medicine

The PNOĒ test is a clinical-grade metabolic analyzer, also known as a metabolic breath test, used to assess oxygen usage and carbon dioxide clearance at rest and during exercise. This assessment offers metabolic testing and accurate measurements of heart health, lung health, and cellular fitness that can provide valuable data for those looking to lose weight, improve their athletic performance or longevity. 

Take Control of How You Age & Live

Did you know how old you are may not actually be – how old you are? Biological age can differ from actual age and is a truer reflection of your health. Your biological age may be older or younger – depending on how healthy, or not, you are.  

Signs You May Be Biologically Older Than Your Actual Age

 Even with the best efforts in exercise and nutrition, results can still fall short. That’s because a one-size-fits-all approach is outdated. You need YOUR data to determine the personalized nutrition, exercise and lifestyle that will preserve and optimize your health – and it starts with a metabolism breathing test.

Chronic Fatigue

Persistent tiredness that doesn't improve with rest.

Muscle Weakness and Joint Pain

Loss of muscle mass, reduced strength, and stiffness or pain in joints.

Weight Gain or Loss

Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, especially with fat accumulation around the abdomen.

Decreased Stamina

Reduced physical endurance and slower recovery from exercise or physical activities.

Cognitive Decline

Difficulty remembering things, brain fog, slower cognitive processing, and increased irritability, anxiety, or depressive symptoms.

Metabolic and Cardiovascular Symptoms

Increased inflammation, signs of insulin resistance, persistent high blood pressure, indicating cardiovascular strain.

Reduced Heart Rate Variability

A sign of decreased autonomic nervous system function.

Frequent Illness

Increased susceptibility to infections, colds, or other illnesses due to a weakened immune system.

Poor Sleep Quality

Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrefreshed.

Poor Stress Response

Difficulty managing stress, leading to chronic stress symptoms.

Get Your True Picture of Health with PNOĒ Breath Analysis

Breath analysis is nothing new! It’s one of the most holistic assessments that evaluates your physiology, including oxygen flow through the body. You may have heard this called metabolic testing, PNOE VO2 max testing, cardiopulmonary exercise training or cardio-metabolic analysis.  

 

This test provides the necessary data for your personalized nutrition and exercise recommendations, longevity assessment and chronic disease prevention. It analyzes 23 biomarkers – just as you breathe!  

 

PNOĒ Breath Analysis is the gold-standard in heart, lung, cell, metabolic tracking and has been independently validated to deliver the same accuracy as clinical grade analyzers used in hospitals.  

How it Works

The two main types of PNOE metabolic testing include the resting metabolic rate (RMR) test and the active metabolic rate (AMR) test. 

 

  • The RMR test is an 8–10-minute assessment where the subject lays in a supine/seated position as motionless as possible and breathes normally.

  • The AMR test is a 9–15-minute assessment comprising a 3-minute warm up, a 4–10-minute exercise phase where intensity is progressively increased, and a 2-minute active recovery.

PNOE Benefits: Improve 3 Key Areas of Health with PNOĒ Breath Analysis

Once the test is completed, the data collected will report on the current state of your body’s systems that determine health and performance, including brain health, lung health, posture, cell health, heart health, vagus nerve function, VO2max, biological age, and more.  

 

Our metabolic experts then analyze your data and generate your PNOĒ reports to customize recommendations for precise calorie and macro intake, physical training plan, and optimal heart-rate zone to improve three key areas of health.  

 

  1. Weight Management 
  2. Longevity Optimization 
  3. Performance and Athletic Recovery

FAQ

PNOE is a metabolic analysis system that assesses your body’s metabolic efficiency through breath analysis, providing insights into your fitness, nutrition, and overall health. 
During a PNOE test, you wear a mask connected to the PNOE device while performing exercises like running or cycling. The device measures your oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), and other metabolic markers to evaluate your cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic function. 
PNOE provides detailed insights into your metabolic rate, fat-burning efficiency, cardiovascular fitness, lung function, and overall metabolic health. It helps identify areas for improvement and creates personalized fitness and nutrition plans. 
PNOE testing is beneficial for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, people looking to lose weight, and anyone interested in optimizing their health. It’s also useful for individuals recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions. 
It’s recommended to undergo PNOE testing every 3 to 6 months to track progress and adjust your training and nutrition plans accordingly. However, the frequency may vary based on individual goals and health status. 
Yes, PNOE testing is safe for most individuals. However, those with certain medical conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing testing. 
You may be asked to avoid eating, drinking caffeine, or exercising for a few hours before the test. Specific instructions will be provided by your testing facility. 
The test typically takes 10-30 minutes, depending on the type of assessment being conducted. 
PNOE testing is usually considered an out-of-pocket expense, but it’s best to check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details. 
PNOE is highly accurate, using advanced technology that is commonly employed in clinical and research settings for metabolic testing.
