MedGem Metabolism Testing
MedGem® is an FDA-approved device that takes the guesswork out of how many calories you burn by measuring your metabolism. It measures resting metabolic rate, which is the number of calories your body burns without any extra activities. The appointment consists of 15 minutes of measurement combined with recommendations given by a registered dietitian on how to use the results to best meet your goals.
