Fitness testing reveals your physical strengths and weakness, as well as your calorie burn rate and resting metabolic rate. All this information is essential for developing a customized training or weight-loss program that fits your needs.
Fitness testing is a great tool for tracking your progress. Your first test establishes a baseline, then the team at SourceMD: Integrated Wellness Solutions can compare the results of future tests to your baseline to evaluate the effectiveness of your exercise regimen and diet plan.

When appropriate for your overall health, Dr. Larson performs an EKG before you start an exercise program. This provides a baseline evaluation of your heart activity.
The team at SourceMD: Integrated Wellness Solutions provides diagnostic laboratory testing in the office and at your home. They may also refer you to specialized centers for lab testing when needed.
They provide standard lab testing and functional medicine lab tests, such as metabolic assays, genetic testing, biochemical pathways, stool testing, and salivary hormone testing.
A body composition analysis determines the proportion of your body that’s fat versus fat-free. Body fat accumulates in three places: Your muscles, under your skin (subcutaneous fat), and around your organs (visceral fat). Fat-free body mass includes your muscles, bones, organs, tissues, and water.
Your body composition can be determined using different techniques, but the team at SourceMD: Integrated Wellness Solutions uses the advanced technology of Styku™ 3D body scanning.
With a turntable and 3D camera, it only takes seconds to scan your body, extract millions of measurements, and reconstruct your body in 3D. The system precisely calculates your body fat percentage.
Patients who receive body composition testing at SourceMD: Integrated Wellness Solutions are actively involved in one of their programs, whether with a personal trainer, health coach, nutritionist, or Dr. Larson.
