Energy testing - a data lover's delight
Executives love data. Yet most rely on guesswork when it comes to health. Energy testing provides the blueprint for fuelling, recovery, and performance.
What Is Energy Testing for Executives?
RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate): baseline calorie burn.
VO2 Max: aerobic capacity and endurance.
DEXA scan: body composition.
Blood tests: hormones, glucose, inflammation.
Why It Matters for Executives
Energy testing for executives matters because:
Tailors nutrition to actual needs.
Identifies hidden inefficiencies (under-fuelling, over-reliance on caffeine).
Tracks progress objectively.
Case Example
An executive came to Miller Health and thought he had a “slow metabolism.” His RMR showed he was under-eating by 600 kcal/day. Adjusting intake with a tailored exercise regime improved energy and weight loss.
FAQs
Is testing only for athletes? No, it can benefit executive men hugely.
How often should I test? Annually as a baseline but with intervention we recommend up to every 3 months or with major lifestyle changes.
Closing Thought
Executives don’t make decisions without data. Why treat your health any differently? Energy testing is the data-driven approach to resilience.
