Vo2max and body composition: two of the strongest signals of long-term health, and your doctor doesn’t run either.
Vo2max, body composition, and a plain-English debrief, in Glendora.
Two of the strongest signals of long-term health sit outside primary care: Vo2max (how efficiently your body uses oxygen) and body composition (lean mass, visceral fat, segmental distribution). Vo2max is one of the strongest single predictors of all-cause mortality. Body composition is the most actionable metabolic signal you can measure cheaply.
Your primary care doctor runs A1C, cholesterol, and imaging (disease detection). Vo2max and body composition are outside services, like a DEXA or sleep study.
Clinical-grade equipment: a Pnoe Air metabolic cart and an InBody 570 scanner. Here is what we measure, and how membership puts each number on the cadence that matters.
On a Pnoe metabolic cart. ~45 minutes of clinical-grade exhaled-gas analysis on an upright cycling bike: a ramp protocol that climbs to your aerobic ceiling and plateaus there.
Sample ramp protocol · peak Vo₂max 47.6 mL/kg/min
On an InBody bioimpedance scanner. Lean mass, fat mass, visceral fat level, segmental breakdown: a five-minute, non-invasive scan.
47M · post-launch cohort · 12-minute ramp protocol
Your aerobic ceiling sits above the median for your age, and your body composition is lean with balanced upper / lower segmental distribution. A baseline to track quarterly; the goal is to hold it, not chase a higher number.
What your numbers mean, where you sit against age and sex norms, what changes if you intervene. Plain English, no jargon, no shrug.
Sample percentile readout · men age 40–49
A full Vo2max and RMR assessment every quarter, body composition every month, and a debrief every visit. Leave your details and we’ll show you the options. Cancel anytime.
These tests don’t move your numbers. They tell you where you are. You do the work (training, diet, sleep, medication, whatever your interventions are), and we re-measure to tell you whether what you’re doing is working.
This is the layer outside primary care: predictive baseline + quarterly re-measurement. We don’t replace your doctor; we hand you better data to walk back to them with.
Anyone post-40, family history of metabolic disease, or doing the Attia / Huberman thing on their own. Vo2max is the single strongest mortality predictor we can measure.
Your real Vo2max, not a watch estimate. Plus a body-comp baseline that tells you whether you’re losing fat or losing muscle.
Past the bathroom scale. Visceral fat, lean mass, segmental composition: the numbers that actually move when training and nutrition are working.
Your body’s maximum oxygen utilization rate, measured directly via exhaled-gas analysis on an upright cycling bike. Trainable in 8–12 weeks. Strongest single predictor of all-cause mortality we know how to measure.
They cover the two largest modifiable metabolic-mortality factors. Run together, debriefed together, in one hour. Compare to scheduling a Vo2max test ($300+) and a DEXA scan ($150) separately.
Vo2max is a max-effort cardiopulmonary test. If you have a cardiac, transplant, or chronic condition, we’d want your physician’s clearance first. InBody is non-invasive.
No. The test scales to your fitness: we’re measuring your ceiling, not a fixed benchmark.
Yes. The membership is month to month, cancel whenever you like.
