Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis
If you recognize Elaina from social media, you likely know she was affiliated with The Kahm Clinic providing Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis. Elaina still works with their team in other capacities but is no longer seeing clients through The Kahm Clinic.
Given that Efird Nutrition is a virtual practice, we are not able to offer Body Composition Analysis or Metabolic Testing through our online practice.
If you’re looking to get testing completed, you may have success finding Metabolic Testing and/or Body Composition Analysis offered at:
Local Gyms
Dexafit/independent testing establishments
Universities or colleges in your area
Some medical practices
If you are able to get testing in your area, our team is happy to interpret your results for you as a part of a coaching session (link to individual coaching page)
Please note, accurate Metabolic Testing can only be done via Indirect Calorimetry. This means it would require a breathing test that is done while fasted with no food, caffeine, exercise or stimulant medications. Any product claiming to provide an accurate metabolic rate that is NOT a breathing test is just using a calculation and would not be any more accurate than using an online calculator.
Body Composition Analysis is usually done via Bioelectrical impedance, most tests are quick and easy and completed via either electrodes being placed on your hand and food or standing barefoot on a scale with sensors.
