Metabolic assessments

At Heath + Diabetes, we use a number of tests to determine an individual’s metabolic condition to assist with weight loss. These metabolic services include a report by Professor David Carey who will provide a summary of the results.

Resting Metabolic rate assessment

An individuals Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) will influence a persons ability to lose weight. A Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment is a simple non-invasive test, which scientifically measures the amount of energy (calories) that is actually burned by the body when at rest. Testing is important as people have a metabolic rate, which is unique to them. Knowing this allows for a tailored weight management program specifically for individuals caloric needs. Learn more...

Body Composition Test

We now know that not all fat is equal. A Body Composition Test (completed via a single slice CT scan) provides vital information about fat distribution to help with the customisation of a diet and exercise regime specifically for your body. Excess fat around the organs (visceral fat) is harmful to long term health but is quite easy to lose if targeted correctly. Subcutaneous (under the skin) fat on the other hand is much less harmful to health but up to three times harder to lose. Knowing exactly how the body is composed is therefore an essential part of any health assessment or successful weight loss program. Learn more...

Hormone summary

A blood test to investigate any abnormal hormone levels, which may be negatively influencing the body’s metabolic condition and therefore preventing weight loss. Thyroid, insulin, growth hormones and fertility hormones will be analysed.
