Metabolic & fitness testing
See how your body burns energy, responds to exercise, and compares for your age. Then receive a personalized nutrition and training plan built around your actual results.
Our PNOĒ Metabolic Analysis package combines resting and active metabolic testing, an InBody body-composition scan, and a private consultation with our functional nutritionist. You'll learn what your body needs now and return for repeat testing to see what has changed.
Testing is completed in person at Shine Functional Health in Buffalo Grove.
Why PNOĒ
You can eat well, exercise consistently, and still wonder whether your routine is actually moving you forward.
Maybe the scale is not changing. Your energy feels lower than it should. Your workouts are not producing the results you expected. Or perhaps you feel healthy today but want personalized guidance to improve your fitness and support longevity.
Most calorie targets and heart-rate zones are based on formulas and population averages. PNOĒ measures what is actually happening in your body so you can make more informed decisions about how to eat, train, and recover. Just as bloodwork helps us understand your individual health markers, metabolic testing helps us understand your individual metabolism.
PNOĒ can help answer:
Is my metabolism slow, average, or fast?
How metabolically flexible am I?
What is my true resting metabolic rate, and how does it influence my total calorie needs
Can my body effectively access fat for fuel, or does it rely primarily on glucose?
What are my true heart-rate training zones?
How could my workouts be adjusted to make my effort more effective?
What is my measured VO₂ max?
How does my estimated biological age compare with my chronological age?
How well am I recovering from exercise?
The package
Establish a clear baseline of your metabolism, fuel use, heart-rate zones, and cardiorespiratory fitness.
Evaluate body composition alongside your metabolic and fitness results for a more complete starting point.
Once your report is ready, you'll meet separately with Rachel Steele, PT, DPT, CFNC, Shine's functional nutritionist, for a 60-minute consultation.
Return after approximately 3–6 months to see how your metabolism and fitness have responded and what to focus on next.

The process
Purchase your package and select your in-office testing appointment.
Share your health history before your appointment so we can consider it alongside your metabolic data.
Visit Shine for resting and active PNOĒ testing plus your InBody scan. We'll first confirm that active testing is appropriate for you.
Once your report is ready, Rachel will explain your results during a 60-minute consultation and build your personalized nutrition and exercise plan.
Use your targets and recommendations to make your routine more intentional.
Repeat your assessments to measure progress and identify your next priorities.
Meet Rachel
Metabolic testing is most valuable when you understand what to do with the results. Rachel combines expertise in clinical nutrition, physical therapy, movement, and PNOĒ interpretation. She considers how metabolism, movement, body composition, nutrition, recovery, and real-life constraints work together, and she'll translate your data into a practical plan instead of handing you an automated report. "PNOĒ isn't about working harder. It's about working smarter."
Real results
Is it a fit?
This package may be a strong fit if:
When a more comprehensive approach may be better: PNOĒ is a focused metabolic and fitness assessment. If you have several active symptoms, complex health concerns, or need broader medical investigation, one of Shine's comprehensive care packages may be a better starting point. If you are unsure, book a free discovery call and our team will help you determine the best fit.
Optional add-on
Daily menu and exercise guidance to help you put your personalized recommendations into practice. You can add app access when purchasing your package.
Questions
Not at all. In fact, many of the people who benefit most from PNOĒ are not athletes. It can be especially helpful if you are struggling with weight loss, want to improve your metabolic health, feel like your workouts are not producing results, or simply want to understand how to exercise more effectively for your body. PNOĒ is also valuable for athletes and health optimizers who want precise heart-rate zones, VO₂ max data, and a more targeted approach to performance and longevity. However, you do not need to be highly fit or training for an event to benefit.
The resting assessment takes approximately 10 minutes, and the active assessment generally takes 15–18 minutes. Please allow additional time for preparation, safety screening, the InBody scan, and transitions. Plan to be at the office for approximately one hour in total.
You'll complete a guided exercise assessment on a stationary bike while wearing the PNOĒ mask. After a short warm-up, the intensity increases each minute so we can evaluate how your body responds at different effort levels.
No. Your safety comes first. Our team will review key health and screening information to ensure you are an appropriate candidate.
Your baseline shows where you are today. Repeat testing shows how your metabolism and fitness respond after you implement your plan and helps us determine what to adjust next.
No. This is available as a standalone package for eligible Illinois residents who can complete testing at our Buffalo Grove office.
