What is Primal Physiology? 

Primal Physiology is the physiological health that allows a person to carry out daily life duties. It includes physical, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular fitness, fat and muscle composition, VO2 max, and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

How does Primal Physiology work? 

Primal Physiology uses four key physiologic markers to develop your profile and tracks progress based on goals:

Labs

Laboratory blood work is a crucial component of health and fitness assessment that involves analyzing various parameters to gain insight into overall health. 

Labs provide valuable insights into the functioning of different systems and track the progress of your personalized Primal Physiology program.

In-Body

A non-invasive Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) device, this advanced health assessment measures your body’s composition by analyzing tissues and electrical currents. This cutting-edge method provides insight into your body fat, muscle mass, water distribution, and overall health. 

VO2 max

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use VO2 max testing to evaluate cardiovascular health and endurance. It also documents progress over time to determine whether a person responds appropriately to a particular regimen. 

Resting RMR

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a non-invasive assessment that determines the number of calories your body expends at rest. It measures the energy required to sustain essential bodily functions, such as circulation, cell maintenance, and breathing.

Understanding your body’s baseline caloric needs allows you to set appropriate calorie targets to achieve weight-related goals, enhance athletic performance, and create personalized fitness and dietary plans.
