Survival of the Fittest. VO2 Max is a Key Predictor of Longevity

VO2 Max Exercise Training

Understanding Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to the efficiency with which your body transports oxygen to muscles and extracts it for energy. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRP) is divided into TWO categories:

Maximum aerobic efficiency (Zone 2 training) AND

Peak aerobic output (Zone 5/Vo2 max)

What is VO2 max testing?

A VO2 max test determines your body’s maximum ability to take up and utilize oxygen.

By maximizing energy production through oxygen, we minimize the build-up of fatiguing lactic acid. Elevating your VO2 max facilitates sustained high-intensity performance over longer durations.

Preparing for your VO2 Max Test

Test will be performed on a Peleton Bike

You will need to bring: Comfortable exercise clothing and running shoes

Avoid large meals and heavy exercise 2 hours before the test

The VO2 max test is GRADED exercise test on a stationary bike until MAXIMUM Exhaustion lasting 20-30 minutes.

Retesting recommended every 3 months

Why are we Testing?

As we age, factors such as Vo2 max, lung function, and cardiac output decline significantly. Our goal is to empower YOU to reach the top 25% of YOUR age and sex group in terms of fitness.

Individuals in the bottom 25% of VO2 max had a nearly 80% higher risk of death compared to the top 25%. Click Here for JAMA Article

For Members: We will customize your Personalized Exercise plan according to your unique Genetics and Biomarkers to optimize not only Cardiorespiratory fitness but also Strength and Stability. Once you have optimized Exercise, you will qualify for Weight loss medications and Longevity Therapies (peptide/NAD).

Personalized down to your DNA. Experience what precision medicine means when your physician can tailor specific treatments based on your unique DNA. Our Advanced Genetic testing will analyze over 150 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS). SNPS are evidence of illness predisposition not evidence of illness itself.

Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to the efficiency with which your body transports oxygen to muscles and extracts it for energy. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRP) is divided into TWO categories: maximum aerobic efficiency (Zone 2 training) and peak aerobic output (Zone 5/Vo2 max). Vo2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during high intensity exercise. This test will start with a 3 minute warm up followed up by gradual increases in intensity. Of note, Resting metabolic analysis must be done before being approved for the VO2 max test.
