Health Screenings and Assessments

Body Composition Testing determines percent  body fat, percent fat-free mass, goal weight and basal metabolic rate. Body composition testing requires a three hour fast prior to testing.  The test is $15 and takes approximately 10 minutes per appointment.  Call 253-403-1503 to book your appointment.

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing determines the amount of calories your body uses at rest.  This test will inform you on how many calories you would need to eat to maintain your current weight or lose weight at a safe, steady rate.  You will also find out how your metabolism compares to other individuals who are the same height, weight, age, and gender.  This test requires six hours of fasting and appointments are made Monday through Friday mornings.  The test costs $40 and takes approximately 20 minutes per appointment.  Call 253-403-1503 to book your appointment.

Personal Wellness Profiles are comprehensive health assessments that measure health status and behavior as it relates to nutrition, fitness, stress and heart health. These profiles include a cholesterol panel (Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Trigycerides and cholesterol/HDL ratio) and fasting glucose test. The profiles require a 12-hour fast. The profiles do not take the place of a physician exam.  Call 253-403-7895 for more information.
