     Dr. Rosen is able to conveniently perform metabolic testing in the comfort of his Garden City office.  This test shows precisely how many calories one burns each day.  In the past, a metabolic test was only available at universities and hospitals.   Now, the exam is easily performed during a 10-minute breath test.  The air you breath out is analyzed to determine exactly how much oxygen your body has consumed.  This is how your metabolic rate is measured.   The greater the oxygen consumption, the greater the metabolic rate, and the greater the number of calories burned. 

     Once the test is completed, the metabolic rate is used to calculate your target calorie zones, which give us the range of daily intake to maintain weight, lose weight, or gain weight.  The information is used to create a new meal plan to achieve the new goals developed during treatment. 

     For those with anorexia, for example, the test often provides reassurance, and shows the individual at which caloric intakes one will either lose, maintain, or slowly, and in a controlled fashion, regain the weight needed.  For those needing to lose weight, the test helps create a meal plan where the person can eat a substantial amount of food and still achieve weight loss. 

    Dr. Rosen is able to perform metabolic testing out of the office on location, such as at spas and salons.  Please contact his staff to find out how he can provide the test and post-test consultation for your employees and/or clients.
