Metabolic Testing

Would you like to know how much energy your body needs daily? We offer metabolic testing in at our Downingtown location using a scientific base and FDA-approved test that provides your Resting Metabolic Expenditure (REE). The results are able to identify if your metabolism is slow or high.

Metabolic Testing Machine

After researching the best indirect calorimeter machines, KORR Medical Technologies stood out for its high accuracy and customer-friendly testing. We are offering metabolic testing using the ReeVue Indirect Calorimeter. Also, if you want to learn more about ReeVue Indirect Calorimeter by KORR Medical Technologies, then you can use this link.

This testing pinpoints the caloric intake required for weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain, so you can better understand your baseline energy requirements (Resting Energy Expenditure- REE). The REE makes up for about 60-70% of total energy expenditure daily.

Combining advanced technology with our team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN), we will help you gain control of your health and wellness to reach your full potential.

Furthermore, you can watch this short video to learn more about KORR’s technologies, benefits, and how the testing is administered.

Who Can Benefit?

How Metabolic Testing Works

REEVUE is a direct oxygen measurement, calculating oxygen exhaled to calculate caloric burn. Using indirect calorimetry, the “gold standard” for metabolic rate, the chamber is able to accurately measure the ratio of oxygen consumption to exhalation, to analyze metabolism.

Benefits of Metabolic Testing

• Establish a minimum number of calories your body needs to function at complete rest, without slowing down your metabolic rate.
• Determine if your chronic dieting or history of significant weight fluctuations has influenced the efficiency of your body.
• Better understand your total energy needs on a day of exercise compared to a rest and recovery day.
• Eliminate use of standard calculations for estimated energy needs.
• Faster physical results, including weight loss, gain, or body recomposition.

What To Expect

Preparing for your test:

This non-invasive test takes about 10-15 minutes. You only need to sit back, relax, and breathe during the test. We will use a disposable MetaBreather mouthpiece, which uses a one-time value to measure inhalation and exhalation.

Your Results

Once your test is complete, you will get a full report, calculating your total energy burn throughout the day. You can use this report to work with your Registered Dietitian and other healthcare providers to understand your metabolism better and create a customized treatment plan.

Scheduling + Locations

Metabolic testing is available at our AZ Offices and in our Downingtown, PA office. To get scheduled, you can book using our online scheduler or by calling the office.

Tip: When booking, remember you have to be fasting for at least 4 hours.
