What is BodyGem?

The BodyGem™ resting metabolism test measures:

your resting metabolic rate
the number of calories your body burns each day at rest

Along with calculations of your activity levels, this helps determine your daily caloric needs.

What to expect from your BodyGem test

The BodyGem™ resting metabolism test takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It is not a blood test; so no blood samples are collected.

A licensed nutrition expert will ask you to breathe into a small device and review the results with you. You’ll discuss how to make the information part of your lifestyle.

For the most accurate results, please make sure you do the following 8 hours beforehand:

Fast (no food or liquid besides water).
Continue to take medications as usual.
Do not exercise.
Do not have coffee or nicotine.
