The MedGem Metabolism test is highly recommended for individuals with thyroid disease or those planning to meet with our dietitian to create a personalized weight loss plan. The metabolism test is a breathing test that takes approximately 10 minutes and is immediately followed by a consult to review the results. The MedGem test is FDA approved and highly accurate! 

Each individual’s metabolism (caloric needs) is different. Our metabolism test allows individuals to know what their personal daily calorie needs are. Our MedGem metabolism test provides an immediate, comprehensive report with details on:

• Exactly how many calories are needed a day to reach or maintain weight goals
• How much protein, fat, and carbohydrates to eat daily

If you are scheduled for a MedGem Test be sure to prepare for the appointment by:

• No eating or drinking for at least 4 hours prior
• No exercise for at least 4 hours prior
• No caffeine for at least 4 hours prior
• No medications, supplements or vitamins as able (especially simulant-type medications including any thyroid medication)
• No use of any form of nicotine (such as cigarettes, E-cigarettes/vape, chewing tobacco) for at least 1 hour prior
