Resting Metabolic Exam

A precise, scientifically accurate measurement of your metabolism using the KorrRevue machine — giving Dr. Gaspard the exact data needed to build a weight loss program truly personalized to your body.

What Is a Resting Metabolic Exam?

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) exam is a non-invasive clinical test that measures exactly how many calories your body burns at rest in a 24-hour period. At JCG Capital and Wellness, Dr. Gaspard uses the KorrRevue machine — which measures the oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced by your body using a technique called Indirect Calorimetry — to provide a precise, scientifically accurate metabolic measurement.

This test tells Dr. Gaspard whether your metabolism is slow, normal, or fast — and gives him the exact caloric foundation needed to build a weight loss program that is truly personalized to your biology, not a generic calculation.
