At Advanced Practice Clinic, we understand that a holistic approach to wellness requires precise and individualized assessments. Our PNOE Metabolism Analysis provides an in-depth understanding of your body’s metabolic function and biological age, helping us tailor wellness treatment, nutrition, and exercise recommendations to your unique needs. Whether you’re aiming for weight loss, improved fitness, or enhanced overall health, the PNOE Metabolic Testing at our clinic in Joplin, Missouri offers the precision necessary to achieve your goals.
What is PNOE Metabolic Testing?
The PNOE Metabolic Device is a state-of-the-art tool used by elite athletes, major sports teams, and top researchers to analyze your body’s ability to utilize oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. This analysis reveals your resting metabolic rate, biological age, how efficiently you burn fat and carbohydrates, and your overall fitness level.
By integrating this data, we can create a personalized plan that addresses your specific health needs, whether you’re focused on weight loss, fitness optimization, or managing chronic conditions.
The PNOE test provides a comprehensive evaluation of key wellness factors by analyzing how your body functions in real time. The test provides a comparison between your chronological age and current biological age, with an estimated age based on your fitness level. It assesses your mental status through breathing patterns, crucial for reducing anxiety and maintaining cognitive clarity. The test measures heart fitness to ensure your cardiovascular system delivers oxygen effectively, supporting overall vitality. It also evaluates cellular performance, offering insights into your metabolism, which is essential for maintaining energy and preventing metabolic issues. Lung efficiency is checked to confirm that your lungs are effectively transferring oxygen to your bloodstream, which is vital for long-term health. Finally, the test examines how your breathing influences posture, which is critical for core stability and preventing chronic pain.

Your comprehensive PNOE assessment includes:
- Resting Metabolic Rate Test: Determine your calorie burn at rest and your efficiency in burning fat for fuel.

What are Weight Loss Injections?
By now almost everyone in the country is aware of the new weekly weight loss shots on the market. Two medications are available that have had amazing results for weight loss. Semaglutide and Tirzepetide are both encritin co-agonists, that suppress the Ghrelin (hunger) hormone, slow gastric emptying, and increase insulin sensitivity.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) agonist and is well-known for its effectiveness not only with diabetes management but also with weight loss. GLP-1 agonists stimulate the receptor for the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, which increases insulin production and satiety (or feelings of fullness). Research has shown that Semaglutide can assist a patient to lose 15 -20% of their body weight.
As a GLP-1 agonist, Tirzepatide increases insulin production to lower blood sugar. It’s also been shown to slow digestion, leading to a feeling of fullness that can help curb appetite. Tirzepatide is also a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist. This means unlike Semaglutide which only hit one encretin receptor for weight loss, Terzepatide hits two giving patients even more weight loss percentage. Tirzepatide has been shown to result in 25% or more body weight reduction.
Since Tirzepatide is a GLP receptor agonist (glucagon-like-peptide-1), it mimics the hormone GLP-1 that is known for regulating hunger, which results in individuals eating less food. Additionally, it also mimics the GIP hormone (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) so it is like a double dose of fat-burner.
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, work by directly targeting the appetite receptors in your brain, enabling you to lose weight faster. Other weight loss medications may activate or deactivate these receptors as well, which can help you reduce your overall appetite.
These medications are commercially available and may be covered by insurance for those who qualify. For those who do not qualify for the commercially available options, we offer these medications through our office for those patients who use them as part of a larger more comprehensive weight loss program.
