Metabolic Testing

Day One offers metabolism testing using the gold standard of measurement tools, the MedGem. If weight loss is your goal, this is one of the best tools. Every one is different and the amount of calories that your body needs varies person-to-person by as much as 900 calories.  Many weight-loss programs give people too many calories since these programs are based on a normal metabolism.  Our machine measures the energy you use in the form of oxygen determining how many calories your body needs to function – this is called the resting metabolic rate.

We have tested many and found metabolism is not related to personality or how active you are; instead you are born with your metabolism and as you age your metabolism decreases.  Once we determine your resting metabolic rate, we develop a plan to suit each client’s goals. The test is $59 (+tax). Some health saving accounts cover this expense but each client is responsible for researching their plan.

The test requires the client to be fasting so all tests are administered first thing in the morning. We welcome you to bring your breakfast or coffee to have right after we complete the test. We also suggest you do not exercise prior to your test.

Nutrition Programs

Day One offers several options for the nutritional program that we recommend. The Arbonne products that we recommend were vetted by an Internal Medicine & Pediatric Physician and are all natural, gluten free, soy-free, vegan and sweetened naturally. We typically begin our clients on a 30 day program offering vegan protein shakes, energy drinks, a probiotic and pre-biotic, detox tea and a seven day cleanse. This kit is altered based on the goal and the budget. Thirty day kits start as low as $150+. Not all Day One clients utilize this nutritional method and this is evaluated based on the plan developed.
