What is PNOĒ?

PNOĒ can be performed at rest, during exercise, or both. The resting assessment helps determine your resting metabolic rate (RMR) and how your body is using fat and carbohydrates for fuel. The active assessment determines your active metabolic rate (AMR) and evaluates your VO₂, cardiovascular fitness, fuel utilization, and individualized heart-rate and training zones.

Together, these assessments give us a more complete picture of your individual physiology and can help us create a more personalized approach to your nutrition, weight-management, wellness, or fitness goals.

How does PNOĒ work?

PNOĒ uses a comfortable breathing mask that analyzes the air you breathe in and out. As you breathe, the system measures your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to determine how your body is using energy.

At Rest

RMR

You simply relax and breathe normally into the mask. This assessment measures your resting metabolic rate (RMR)—the number of calories your body needs to perform essential functions like breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature while at rest. It also shows how your body is using fat and carbohydrates for fuel.

During Exercise

AMR

For the active assessment, you'll wear the same comfortable mask while exercising on a bike as the intensity gradually increases to measure your active metabolic rate (AMR). This allows PNOĒ to measure VO₂, cardiovascular fitness, fuel utilization, and personalized heart-rate and training zones.

Why PNOĒ?

Instead of relying solely on generalized formulas based on your age, height, and weight, PNOĒ measures your individual physiology.

Your results can help us better understand:

  • How many calories your body needs at rest
  • How your body uses fat vs. carbohydrates for fuel
  • Your current level of cardiovascular fitness
  • Your individualized heart-rate and training zones
  • How to better tailor nutrition and exercise to your body

PNOĒ provides personalized information that can help guide your weight-management approach, including your individual calorie needs, fuel utilization, nutrition, meal timing, and exercise.

Athletic Performance

For athletes and active individuals, PNOĒ can provide insight into cardiovascular fitness, training zones, fuel utilization, and exercise performance—helping guide more personalized training and fueling strategies.

Overall Wellness & Longevity

Understanding your individual metabolism and response to exercise can help inform personalized nutrition, fitness, healthy weight management, and long-term wellness goals.

Your Results

After your assessment, your results are available through the PNOĒ app, where your data is translated into easy-to-understand information you can use to guide your nutrition, exercise, weight-management, and overall wellness goals.

Think of PNOĒ as a roadmap for understanding your body. We measure how you actually use energy and respond to exercise, then use that information to help guide a plan around your specific goals.

Your PNOĒ results can also be used alongside the wellness services available at Natural Drip to help create a more personalized approach to your health and fitness journey.

How to Prepare for your PNOĒ assessment:

To help ensure the most accurate results, please follow the guidelines before your assessment:

  • Fast overnight if your appointment is in the morning. For afternoon appointments, fast for at least 4–5 hours before your appointment & avoid high carb foods the day of your assessment.
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and energy drinks for at least 3 hours before your assessment.
  • Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before your assessment. Intense exercise includes heavy weightlifting or CrossFit-style workouts. Spinning, running, or HIIT are okay, but limit exercise to 1 hour or less. Preferably, the day before your assessment should be a rest day.
  • Take your medications as usual unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking water before your appointment.
