RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) testing
Your body combines food with oxygen to produce energy. The RMR tester measures the amount of oxygen the body consumes and determines your resting metabolic rate in calories/day. With this method, called indirect calorimetry, your Dietitian can give you a reliable breakdown of your energy needs.
RMR testing uses a portable metabolism tracker for professional use. Your personalized data will help us provide personalized recommendations tailored to your fitness or weight loss goals.
RMR testing (not reimbursed by insurances), available for current and new nutrition counseling clients:
- $125 per test in the Watkinsville location, using the Med Gem RMR tester

Weight Loss
Our food and exercise guidelines are based in science to help you lose weight while preserving muscle. One size does not fit all: we use various science-based strategies to help you reach your goals.
Research indicates that the majority of individuals who lose weight with a short term diet plan will regain the weight within 5 years. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the client to create an individual diet plan that leads to long-lasting results and get you off the cycle of dieting.
Weight Gain
There can be long term negative health effects due to nutrient deficiencies and/or not enough calories. Good nutrition is vital for normal growth and development. Scheduling a visit with one of our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists can set you or your child on the right path to developing healthy habits and creating a proper nutrition plan.

Sports Nutrition
We work with athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all ages to develop a nutrition plan that optimizes performance, with a sustainable diet plan including any sport-specific requirements for changing weight or body composition. Working closely with the client, we collaboratively develop a plan including appropriate supplementation, hydration, pre-, intra-, and post-workout nutrition, training and competition nutrition, and nutrition to optimize recovery. Many strategies can be utilized depending on your goal: meeting nutritional requirements for muscle building, losing fat while preserving muscle mass, maintaining body composition while eating healthier, or eating optimally for performance.
