We do recommend blood work to help us get the full picture. We often conduct blood draws to learn about your body’s chemical makeup as well. When paired with PNOĒ, our providers can get a deeper insight into your physiology, but blood draws are never required!
The complete picture of your biology lies in the breath.
Making a change for a healthier lifestyle is a bold move that can bring abundant benefits. However, it can be hard to make the right moves without a clear picture of your current strengths and weaknesses. That’s where our metabolic testing in Arlington can help! At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we use the innovative PNOĒ device and real-time data to build a baseline understanding of your current biology. Our team then works to design customized nutrition and exercise plans that work for you.
How Metabolic Testing Works
If you can breathe, you can benefit from our metabolic testing in Arlington! We test your resting metabolic rate (RMR) with PNOĒ testing to collect 23 different biomarkers.
As you inhale and exhale through the specialized mask, our device tracks the energy your body is using while at rest. This is to help us understand what fuels your body and how you naturally use that fuel.
Each test only takes 10 minutes from start to finish. Following your test, we will discuss your results and make suggestions based on your unique conditions and goals. Ready to get real details about your health? Request your appointment to learn more!

What to Expect
On the day of your metabolic testing in Arlington, we ask that you fast for 3 hours prior to your test, abstain from smoking, and only drink water. After we check you in, you’ll be escorted back to our comfortable treatment room. There, we will apply the PNOĒ face mask to collect your biological data from your breath.
We’ll ask you to breathe hard into the mask to test the seal, then lie back comfortably for the rest of your test. After 10 minutes of relaxed breathing, your test will be complete. Your provider will discuss your results and make recommendations to help you meet your goals.
