Clinical-Grade Metabolic & Fitness Analysis
PNOĒ employs a non-invasive VO₂ Max testing system to provide a deep dive into your metabolic, lung, and heart performance.
The program evaluates:
- Metabolism. Understand how efficiently your body converts food into energy.
- VO₂ Max. Track oxygen flow through your lungs, heart, and cells, a key metric for athletic performance and longevity.
- Fat-Carb Burn. Identify which fuel sources your body uses at rest and during exercise.
- Cellular Function. Gain insight into your cellular health and energy efficiency.
- Heart & Lung Fitness. Evaluate cardiovascular health and endurance capacity.
- Biological Age. Assess how your physiological condition compares to chronological age.
- Training Zones. Determine optimal exercise intensity for maximum results.
- Mobility & Cognition. Incorporate movement and brain function into your personalized program.
This high-precision approach allows clients to track measurable improvements while receiving recommendations that are tailored to their specific physiology, athletic goals, and weight loss plans.
Personalized Nutrition & Training Plans
PNOĒ goes beyond data collection to provide actionable, customized programs.
Once your metrics are collected, PNOĒ can be tailored to your unique physiology, goals, and lifestyle, including:
- Weight Loss and Nutrition. Plans account for your calorie, macronutrient, and micronutrient requirements, integrating personal preferences while optimizing results. Metabolic insights also allow us to address underlying reasons diets fail.
- Workout Programs. Training is adapted to your limitations and compatible with any equipment or regimen you follow.
- Ongoing Monitoring. Your progress is tracked and adjustments are made to ensure continued improvement and adherence.
These tailored plans help you overcome common barriers like metabolic slowdown, improve endurance and performance, and promote long-term wellness.

"A 100% better option than surgery and I'm pain free after a few of sessions."
This treatment is amazing!! Dr Taylor is very professional, informative, and kind. His team is equally as professional and friendly. I was skeptical at first because they promised up to 90% recovery, I didn't believe it but its true, I feel great...pain free!! The treatment includes neuromed therapy that shocks you but it feels wonderful to me, its so relaxing I try not to fall asleep because I will start snoring. It really worked for me. A 100% better option than surgery and I'm pain free after a few of sessions. Unlike the long recovery after surgery. I definitely would recommend this treatment to anyone with chronic back pain.
