Metabolic Testing - Champion Health

Metabolic Testing - Champion Health We utilize metabolic monitors for indirect calorimetry, in order to find accurate data on your metab This is known as the Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR.

The Technology we use is the is Metabolic Monitor made by Cosmed. Currently the only machine available in Australia for commercial use. This machine is able to accurately measure temperature changes in clients' breathing, and calculating the number of Kilocalories used per day. The BMR measurement is essentially the number of calories your body uses while at rest. This is a notoriously difficult number to identify accurately, but our metabolic monitor is able to detect an accurate BRM reading in a very short time.

If a diet has you severely calorie restricting, cutting out entire food groups or you’re just forcing down that 10th salad you hate this week; it ain’t it. 👎

I’m a big believer in diets should be personalised, backed by science about *your* body and still take your individual tastes into account.

Might someone need to cut out gluten due to coeliac disease? Sure.
Might someone need to manage carbohydrates if they have Diabetes? Absolutely.
Should you be cutting things out without a medical/ethical/religious reason? Definitely not (unless you hate the taste!)

Break free of the diet culture, get a personalised plan, take the guesswork out of your goals!

Scan Protocol - all that you need to know!

We love our metabolic scanning machine, however in order to make it as ACCURATE as possible, we have a few things we need from you prior to the scan...

1. Fasted (no food) for at least 5 hours prior 🤐
2. No Alcohol or Smoking for at least 2 hours prior 🚭️
3. No Coffee for at least 3 hours prior ☕️
4. No Intense Exercise for at least 14 hours prior 🏃‍♀️
5. No Moderated Exercise for at least 2 hours prior 🚶‍♀️

Phew! I know it seems like a lot, but to get the most accurate results we need you in as RESTED state as possible for the scan. All of the above can affect your rested state. 😴

Any questions? Hit us up!

Ok put down the pitchforks and let me clarify 😅

DEXA scans are a great way to measure body composition. InBody Scans (when all variables have been accounted for; time of day, fasted, rested, euhydration) can be a great way to see if your body composition is changing. Neither of these are good measures of your resting metabolic rate.

Why? Because that’s not what they’re measuring. The only way we expel calories is through our breath. The only way to measure this (outside a lab) is to measure rested breathing for a set period of time and use indirect calorimetry to calculate your resting metabolism.

Did I nerd out too much? 🤓 Probably. Let’s make this a little simpler. Anything that measures body composition is only going to be able to *estimate* your resting metabolism. We actually measure it. Our machine can’t tell you anything about your body composition, it’s not designed for that. It’s designed for the sole purpose of measuring your metabolism.

Take the guess work out of your goals. Book a scan.
