Vo2 Max & Metabolic Testing with PNOĒ

Know your numbers, unlock your potential.

A cutting-edge, non-invasive test that instantly (and without lab work) analyzes 23 individual biomarkers that assess vital areas including energy needs, cellular function, heart & lung fitness, fat-burning efficiency, VO2 max, and biological age. Using this information, a personalized nutrition, lifestyle and treatment plan is prescribed based on individual biology and personal goals.

What to Expect

Both Resting Metabolic Testing (RMR) and Active Metabolic Testing (VO₂ Max) are conducted by a trained specialist to ensure accurate and personalized results.

  • Breath Analysis for Precision – You will wear a comfortable mask connected to a state-of-the-art metabolic analyzer, either placed beside you (for RMR) or in a small backpack (for active testing).

  • Testing Attire – Wear comfortable athletic clothing and sneakers for the active test; for the resting test, any comfortable clothing is fine.

  • Pre-Test Preparation – Avoid eating and drinking (except water) for 4 hours before, and avoid caffeine, drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise for 8-12 hours before the resting metabolic test to ensure accurate results.

  • Session Duration:

    • Resting Metabolic Test: ~30 minutes (including setup and testing)

    • Active Metabolic Test: ~30 minutes, but the length of the active test varies based on fitness level, sex, age, and comfort on either a treadmill or stationary bike

  • Suitable for All Fitness Levels – The active test is tailored to your individual capabilities, ensuring a safe and effective experience. To perform the active test, you must be able to walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary exercise bike, though, whereas anyone of any fitness level can perform the resting metabolic test. 

  • Fast & Comprehensive Results – Receive your detailed metabolic report to your PNOĒ app within 24-48 hours.

  • Optional Expert Consultation – While the results that you receive through your PNOĒ app are visually easy to interpret, we highly recommend a specialist consultation after your first test to maximize insights. Consultations can be scheduled in our office or independently.

  • Quarterly Testing Recommended – To track progress and optimize your wellness journey, we suggest testing every 3-6 months.

Key Benefits

Performing one or both of the tests using the PNOĒ system provides a plethora of personalized insights into your specific health as well as nutrition needs and fitness details that are specific to your physiology. For example, it will give you the exact ratio of macronutrients (carbs/fats/protein) that your body uses to fuel itself at each stage of exercise, allowing you to tailor your diet and exercise to achieve the exact goals that you are looking for, whether it is weight loss, muscle gain, or increased fitness. It also gives your biological age and cardiovascular disease and mortality risk. Using all of this information, you can optimize training plans and identify areas for health improvement, and it can even provide specific plans developed by our metabolic experts and tailored to you for an actionable path to improvement.

Testing Options:

  • Resting Metabolic Testing: Performed while stationary in a relaxed position. You wear the PNOĒ mask for about 10 minutes, and the breath analyzer system uses data from what you inhale and exhale to determine specific biomarkers and information about how your body processes work.

    • Can provide you with a specific diet plan

    • Can provide VO2 Max but is less accurate than the active metabolic test

  • Active Metabolic Testing: Assesses fitness levels during exercise using standardized protocols on either a treadmill or stationary bike during which you go through a research based increase in intensity of exercise while wearing the PNOĒ mask and breath analyzer. 

    • Provides the most accurate measure of VO2 Max, fitness analysis, and biological age

    • Provides additional metabolic markers and breakdowns of how your body specifically metabolizes macronutrients at each level of physical exertion

Quarterly Resting & Metabolic Testing sessions included in The Peak Performer Plan — Recommended

  • With the setup and preparation, both the resting and active tests take about 30 minutes each to complete.

  • Yes! If you want to do both tests in the same day, you will need to start with the resting test and then follow that with the active test. You need to have avoided eating or drinking (except water) for 4 hours before and have avoided caffeine, alcohol or intense exercise for at least 8-12 hours prior to the resting metabolic test being performed, which is why it is necessary to perform this one first. The active test can be completed immediately afterwards, later in the same day, or at another time that works for you.

  • These are premium services and are only included quarterly as part of the premium membership. Otherwise you can purchase these services separately and perform them whenever works best for you. The data that is provided and optional consultations, nutrition plans, and fitness plans can be extremely beneficial as standalone data or to obtain a baseline, but the best results can be obtained through repeating this testing periodically to track the progress of your fitness journey through objective data that is much more detailed than just tracking your weight.

  • You can do PNOĒ testing as frequently as you want, but research has found that performing the tests every quarter (every 3 months) gives the most useful information for tracking your fitness journey.

  • PNOĒ testing is very safe, and the tests are always performed with our trained personnel by your side. You do have to be able to wear the comfortable mask with breath analyzer throughout the entirety of the test, and for the active test, you need to be able to walk and/or run on a treadmill or stationary workout bike.

  • You can wear whatever makes you most comfortable for the resting metabolic test. Because you will be performing exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike during the testing session, we recommend wearing clothes and shoes that are comfortable for this type of exercise.
