Metabolic Health

​

Understanding your metabolism is the key to your health, weight management, diabetes control and well-being.  Our metabolic health programs are designed to get you burning stored fat, which is key to optimal health and weight management. Each program
is individualised to work with your metabolism and includes:

  • Metabolic measurement

  • Tailored nutrition

  • Personalised activity programs

  • Evidence-based protocols

  • Experienced health professionals

 

Most health programs guess your metabolism based on factors like your age, height and weight; however, research has shown these are inaccurate and misleading, up to +/- 30%. At HFRC, we take out the guess work. We use ECAL technology (developed here in WA) to measure your individual metabolism and energy needs. A simple breathing test is conducted while you rest. From these results we will design an individually tailored solution to get you metabolically healthy. Continuous monitoring tracks your progress and guides required changes to diet or exercise to achieve optimal metabolic health.
