PeakMD Health Programs

Metabolic Testing

  • Your true calorie needs at rest (RMR) — how many calories your body actually burns just to stay alive, not a guess from an online calculator.

  • How your body uses fat vs carbs at rest — whether you’re efficient at burning fat or more carb-dependent before you even start moving.

  • Personalized nutrition targets — daily calorie and macro guidance based on your physiology, not averages.

  • Your true VO₂ max — the gold-standard measure of cardiovascular fitness and a powerful predictor of performance and longevity.

  • Personalized heart-rate and watt-based training zones — built from your physiology, not age-based formulas.

  • Your fat-to-carb crossover point — exactly where intensity shifts fuel usage, guiding pacing and nutrition.

  • Key sustainable intensity thresholds — identifies the effort you can hold the longest without fatigue spiraling.

  • A precise training roadmap — shows which intensities will most effectively improve endurance, efficiency, and VO₂ max over time.

  • A baseline to track progress over time — retest later to objectively see improvements from training, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

Initial Movement Assessment/Training Session

  • Full-body movement screening — evaluate through a series of movement and stability patterns to see how your body actually moves.

  • Identification of weaknesses and imbalances — pinpoint mobility restrictions, stability gaps, and asymmetries that affect performance and joint health.

  • Injury-risk and pain pattern awareness — flag movement habits that may be contributing to discomfort or holding you back.

  • Customized training priorities — clarify what to train first, what to improve gradually, and what to avoid for now.

  • Personalized training program design — your strength, mobility, and conditioning plan built specifically around your body and goals.

  • Clear next steps and progression plan — understand how your program can evolve as you move better, get stronger, and build confidence.

Personal Training Sessions

  • Progressive, well-structured training — sessions that evolve as you get stronger, more mobile, and more conditioned.

  • Ongoing movement and technique refinement — continual focus on safer, more efficient movement patterns.

  • Measurable strength and capacity gains — steady improvements in strength, balance, stability, and endurance.

  • Joint-friendly, longevity-focused programming — smart exercise choices that support consistency and injury prevention.

  • Accountability, education, and confidence — clear feedback, tracking, and coaching support so you understand the process and trust your body.
