Have you ever wondered what your metabolism is?

Is it fast, slow or average? We can measure it for you. The YMCA is now offering nutrition appointments with the MedGem (a FDA approved machine that measures your resting metabolism).

HOW DOES IT WORK? MedGem is an FDA-approved hand-held device that quickly and accurately measures your resting metabolic rate (RMR), or how many calories the body burns while resting. The patient simply breathes through the MedGem mouthpiece. Within 10 minutes, the MedGem accurately measures the total number of calories the individual burns at rest.

WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW MY RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR)? Knowing your RMR can lead to tremendous health benefits. Metabolism varies from person to person and is determined by your body composition, weight, age and gender. Medications, stress, smoking and other factors can also affect your RMR, so the only accurate way to know your RMR is to have it measured.

What to do before your appointment: (preferably in the morning)

1. You must not have any food 4 hours before your appointment.
2. You cannot exercise before your appointment.
3. You cannot consume alcohol, drink caffeine, or smoke cigarettes before your appointment.
4. You may have water.

Rates:
MedGem Appointment with activity expenditure consult (30 minutes): $65

Once you know the amount of calories you burn at rest, we figure the amount of calories you expend during the day and from exercise. Then we can determine the amount of calories you need depending on your goals – lose weight, gain muscle, training, etc.

MedGem Appointment with Nutrition Assessment and Individualized Meal Plan (1 hour): $110.00

Meet with Kerri Napoleon, staff Registered Dietitian for a measurement. Call Kerri at 355-1436 for more information or set up an appointment at the front desk.
