For Clinicians

We work with primary care clinicians and medical weight management specialists to test, 

• Adults and adolescents unable to lose weight despite diet & lifestyle modifications.
• Patients on a 1000 - 1300 calorie meal plan but have not lost any weight.
• Post bariatric surgery patients whose weight has plateaued >2  months.
• Patients who have lost weight and are now transitioning to weight maintenance and/or weaning off of Ozempic, Saxenda, Rybelsus or Mounjaro.
• Patients with medical conditions such as severe obstructive sleep apnea, Cushing’s syndrome, Grave’s disease, Hashimoto’s disease, sub clinical Hypothyroidism for abnormal metabolic rates in at-risk patients.

Founded on the principals and practices of evidenced based medicine, we provide patients with accurate, reliable metabolic testing (Resting Metabolic Rate or Basal Metabolic Rate) using FDA certified indirect calorimetry technology. Patients paying out of pocket or covered by their extended health care plan receive a clear and concise report of the results. 

The report highlights,

• the patient's measured resting energy expenditure (REE) in Calories per day. 
• the predicted metabolic rate according to the MSJ and Harris-Benedict formulas.
  % Above/Below Normal (actual measured REE compared to the predicted normal).
• estimated Fast Free Mass based on REE readings in kilograms.

A copy of the report is sent to the referring health care professional within 1 hour. 

Patients can choose between,

• Testing at one of our clinics, or 
• Testing at their home

Please inform your patient that diagnostic metabolic screening is not yet covered by BC's MSP.  However, patients with extended health insurance are often fully covered for this test when prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner.
