At Clinton County Medical Center (CCMC), we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and tools to achieve optimal health. One such powerful tool is metabolic testing. Let’s explore what it is and how it can benefit you.
What is Metabolic Testing?
Metabolic testing is a scientific method used to measure how efficiently your body burns calories during rest. At CCMC, we offer the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test, which measures the number of calories your body burns at rest.
How is Metabolic Testing Performed?
The process is simple and non-invasive. For RMR testing, you’ll breathe into a tube for about 10 minutes while resting.

2. Insight into Metabolic Health

3. Tailored Nutrition Plans
