Nutritional Analysis

A well designed nutrition program can be the difference between achieving your best performances and wasting a lot of training time. The Peak Centre for Human Performance Nutritional testing program has three components:

1. Dietary Analysis

Based on the analysis of a food diary, the dietary analysis provides a detailed breakdown of the calories, carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals that you consume each day.

2. Metabolic Efficiency Testing

Resting and exercising metabolic rate are measured to determine energy output for various intensities of training. Measures of fat and carbohydrate metabolism are determined so that individualized training and race refueling strategies can be developed.

3. Blood Chemistry Profiling

Blood chemistry profiles measure blood parameters like hemoglobin, hematocrit, Red cell count, white cell count, ferritin, and various hormones important to performance. With this information individualized nutrition and supplementation programs are developed to keep your body working at optimal levels for your sport.
