Schedule a metabolic test in our office! Metabolism is influenced by a number of factors, such your weight, muscle, age, gender, and hormones. Muscle burns more calories than fat; an individual with more muscle will have a higher metabolism. Metabolism declines naturally in adults at a rate of about 2 to 10% per decade after the age of 25 years. This decline is the result of decreased muscle weight. To minimize this decline, individuals can build or maintain muscle weight through strength training. Since metabolism accounts for a majority of the total calories a person needs each day, it is an important component to establishing daily calorie needs, whether they are trying to lose or maintain bodyweight. Our metabolic testing can help you pinpoint why you aren’t meeting your health goals. Learn more and Schedule a metabolic test in our office!

Metabolic Testing Available at our Downingtown Location
The MedGem indirect calorimetry device is a clinically-validated and FDA 510K-cleared, class II, medical device for measurement of patient resting metabolic rate (RMR).
The MedGem is an easy-to-use, handheld device that accurately measures oxygen consumption (VO2) to determine resting metabolic rate (RMR)*.
Measurements made with the MedGem are easy to administer and provide accurate results in only a few minutes.
Microlife’s WatchWT MedGem device was used to assess metabolic changes in The Biggest Loser™ contestants. “We chose to use the MedGem device based on its accuracy in comparison to other indirect calorimeters.” said Dr. Robert Huizenga, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at UCLA and Medical Advisor to The Biggest Loser.

Looking for a food allergy test or nutrition test?
If you are interested in a food allergy test or nutrition anaylsis test, we STRONGLY recommend visiting Quack Watch and determine if one of your interested tests are on Dr. Barrett’s website. Take great concern if someone wants you to take one of the tests listed on the website, especially if it expensive. Most health plans will cover evidence based nutrition tests and services, you should not have to pay out of pocket!
