What Is PNOE Metabolic Testing?
PNOE Metabolic Testing is a clinical-grade assessment that measures your oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide output (VCO₂) to determine your body’s unique metabolic profile. The test provides insights into how efficiently your body uses fuel (fat vs. carbohydrates), your aerobic fitness level, and how your metabolism functions at rest and during activity.
At Biosymmetry Wilmington, we use PNOE testing to create personalized nutrition, fitness, and health optimization plans. The data helps identify metabolic inefficiencies, caloric needs, and cardiovascular performance—empowering you to achieve faster, more sustainable results.
How PNOE Metabolic Testing Works
During a PNOE Metabolic Test, you’ll wear a comfortable breathing mask connected to advanced sensors that measure your respiratory gases while at rest or during exercise. The test typically takes 10–30 minutes, depending on the protocol, and provides detailed metabolic and fitness data in real time.
After the test, our specialists analyze your results to determine your resting metabolic rate (RMR), fat-burning efficiency, aerobic threshold, and VO₂ max (a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness). These insights form the foundation for a customized nutrition and training program designed specifically for your body’s needs.

FAQ
FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions.
Who should get PNOE Metabolic Testing?
Anyone interested in improving health, performance, or weight management can benefit. It’s especially useful for those who’ve struggled with plateaus despite diet or exercise efforts.
How is this different from other metabolism tests?
PNOE uses clinical-grade cardiometabolic analysis, the same technology used by elite athletes and medical professionals, to provide precise, individualized results.
How often should I repeat the test?
Most patients benefit from retesting every 3–6 months to track improvements in metabolism, performance, and body composition.
Can PNOE testing help with medical or hormone therapy programs?
Yes. PNOE results are often integrated into weight management, hormone optimization, or functional wellness programs to ensure your plan aligns with your body’s unique metabolic needs.
