Discover What Your Body Is Really Capable Of

PNOĒ metabolic testing is now available at Village Family Medicine. In just 10 minutes, a simple breath test reveals your VO2 max, metabolic rate, and fat-burning zones. So you can train smarter, eat better, and stop guessing.

Reality

Most People Have No Idea How Their Body Actually Works

You count calories based on a formula. You train based on how you feel. You set goals based on what worked for someone else. Without real data, you're making health decisions in the dark — and leaving results on the table.

Stop guessing your calories

Generic calorie calculators can be off by hundreds. Your metabolism is unique, your plan should be too.

Train in the right zone

Effort without direction leads to burnout, not breakthroughs. Know your exact heart rate and intensity zones.

Turn data into progress

PNOĒ replaces guesswork with clinical-grade biomarkers so every workout and meal moves you forward.

Testing

What PNOĒ Measures and Why It Matters

PNOĒ is a clinical-grade metabolic assessment that captures your aerobic capacity, metabolic efficiency, and ventilatory thresholds through a simple, non-invasive breath test. No blood draw. No lab work. No waiting for results. In under 10 minutes, you'll have a complete picture of how your body produces and uses energy. The foundation for a truly personalized health plan built by Dr. Strickler and his team.
