Metabolic health measurement: Pnoē

Pnoē uses breath analysis to determine a guest’s current state of health, which can help to guide future preventative health programmes.Also known as metabolic testing or VO2max, it helps to evaluate heart, lung and cellular fitness alongside the nervous system.

The Pnoē system is an easy-to-use, clinical-grade breath analysis device, proprietary software package and dedicated metabolic expert support. Through a non-invasive 10-minute breath test, Pnoē can prescribe a personalised nutrition, exercise and breathwork programme. It can be used in any normal treatment room and is easy to follow for clients and staff. Pnoē is supported by an app that can track client progress and offer a range of healthy lifestyle advice.

Recent studies have indicated VO2 testing as important indicators of life expectancy and quality. Analysing 23 biomarkers during inhalation and exhalation, some key variables assessed include metabolic rate, fat and carbohydrate oxidation, VO2max, heart and lung fitness, cellular fitness, and metabolic flexibility.
