COMMON HEALTH CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Bio-Energy Testing

Bio-Energy Testing is a cutting-edge service that evaluates how efficiently your mitochondria—the tiny energy factories in your cells—are functioning. Every cell in your body contains thousands of mitochondria, and when they underperform, it can contribute to virtually every disease, weight gain, and even the aging process itself.
By measuring your body’s energy production, Bio-Energy Testing reveals hidden imbalances that could be affecting your health—often before symptoms appear. With this insight, targeted steps can be taken to correct these issues and optimize cellular function.
Rethinking Aging
Aging isn’t just about counting birthdays—it’s the gradual physical and mental decline that many accept as inevitable. But that feeling of “I’m just getting old” is often a sign that your body’s energy systems are slowing down. The good news? You can track and improve how your body produces energy.
With Bio-Energy Testing, it’s now possible to identify what’s holding you back and take action to support better health, vitality, and longevity.
Please note that this service has to be ordered by one of our practitioners and cannot be booked by a patient without a consultation.

The importance of Bio-Energy testing and correcting the underlying cause of energy issues.
How Does It Work
The Bio-Energy test measures the amount of oxygen your body uses and the amount of carbon dioxide it produces, firstly at rest and then at different exertion levels while you are exercising on a bike. For people with chronic conditions who cannot exercise, a reading taken at rest will be sufficient.
The amount of oxygen the body is using will indicate the efficiency of the mitochrondia, and the carbon dioxide production determines fat metabolism.
By measuring the ratio of oxygen consumption to carbon dioxide production, optimum carbohydrate intake can be determined.
Bio-Energy Testing analyses an enormous amount of data and calculates your energy production dynamics (or metabolism) when resting and exercising.
Who Should Be Tested?
- People who not only want to live a long time but also want to live in a state of optimum health, too.
- Seniors who want to re-capture the energy of their youth and also want to live without the constraints of being incapacitated or sick.
- People with degenerative disease, since this is usually caused by the slowing of energy production.
- People who are overweight or who wish to lose weight. By measuring metabolism, you can exactly target the number of calories you can eat and still lose weight.
- Athletes who want to measure their cardio fitness so they can maximize their workouts.
