Metabolic Function

The ability to turn the food we eat into energy, or “burning calories,” is a simple definition of what metabolism is and what it does. You may feel you have a “slow metabolism” because it takes you longer to burn calories than your sister-in-law, who seems to be able to eat whatever she wants to and never gain a pound. Or you might be looking for ways to “boost your metabolism”and burn more calories faster so you can fit into your skinny jeans. It all starts with some simple tests, so you can eat and exercise in a way that’s right for YOU, to help you reach your health goals.

Symptoms of Metabolic Dysfunction May Include:
  • Fatigue
  • Weight gain / inability to lose weight
  • Sugar / carb cravings
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
