Fixing a Broken Nutrition Plan Part 2: Metabolic Tools

New Leaf Resting Metabolic Assessment[1]

My last post discussed nutrient deficiencies that hold people back when they are struggling to lose body fat.  Once you are making sure your vitamin, mineral, protein and water deficiencies are met and you are consistent with taking enough on a daily basis you should start to see progress.  If you don't here are some "Metabolic Tools" you can use to determine what is holding you back.  Most of these you can purchase at Life Time Fitness Clubs.  The tools are:

1. In-Body BIA Analyzer
2. Active Metabolic Assessment
3. Resting Metabolic Assessment
4. Basic Blood Chemistry (myHealthscore Assessment)
5. Food Sensitivities Test
6. Stress & Resilience Test (Cortisol and DHEA-S Saliva Kit)
7. Gender Specific Longevity & Vitality Test (Tests most of the major hormones)
8. *AA/EPA Ratio Test (This you cannot purchase at Life Time Clubs) 

In the next post I will describe the above tools in more detail.

Stay tuned!
