A Metabolic Exercise Test (MET) measures your body's specific physiological response to exercise. While you work out on your preferred car- dio equipment, we'll monitor your oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and heart rate. The data will show how your body uses different fuels at various workloads. You'll also learn the heart rate at which your body burns the most fat and the rate at which your body burns the most calories. Use the information to monitor your heart rate and to burn maxi- mum fat and calories. Combine your MET with an eight-week zone training program to change your physiology, help your body become a better fat-burning machine and increase your overall physical fitness. Undergo a Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Assessment as well to determine the num- ber of calories per day your body needs to maintain its current self. By measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, this test determines the per- centage of calories you burn as fat versus carbohydrates. When you know your RMR, you can set your daily caloric input (diet) and output (exercise) to the exact caloric number that will allow you to either lose or maintain weight. MET or RMR: $175, MET and RMR: $325, MET, RMR and heart-rate monitor: $490, retest only: $140; by appointment only; one full busi- ness day cancellation required to avoid charge Naturopathic Medicine Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are licensed physicians who treat acute and chronic illnesses with the goal of achieving opti- mum health.

Rolfing Structural Integration Through hands-on manipulation of the connective tissue, Rolfing eases pain and discomfort from many different causes, including back pain, repetitive-motion injury, trauma and aging. It also relieves stress and improves performance in pro- fessional and daily activities. Rolfing prac- titioner Sara Bayer uses mild, direct pres- sure to release holdings of fascia—the body's internal system of flexible support that surrounds every muscle fiber, encases all joints and has a role in the nervous system. The slow, deep strokes stimulate sensory neurons of the muscle nerve, trig- gering the nervous system to reduce ten- sion. Thus, the body finds health through the re-establishment of balance. Studies show that Rolfing engenders more
