Evidence-Based Testing for Precision Nutrition & Health

WELCOME TO THE KAHM CLINIC FOR TESTING

The Kahm Clinic in Burlington, VT is a dedicated testing center specializing in Metabolic Testing (MT) and Body Composition Analysis (BCA). We provide healthcare professionals and individuals with science-driven, objective assessments to better understand energy expenditure, fueling needs, and malnutrition. Our focus is on internal health markers, offering a judgment-free approach to nutrition assessment.

Providers can refer clients for standalone metabolic and body composition evaluations, with optional interpretation and consultation services related to testing results. Burlington no longer provides outpatient nutrition counseling.

Our Stamford, CT location offers nutrition counseling and metabolic testing with our founder, Annika Kahm, RDN, CDN, a nationally recognized leader in nutrition science.

UNDERSTANDING MT/BCA: IDENTIFYING WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THESE EVALUATIONS

Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis (MT/BCA) are scientific tools designed to assess fuel efficiency, energy balance, and malnutrition.

At The Kahm Clinic, we offer energy expenditure and malnutrition assessment tests to provide deeper insights into how the body utilizes nutrients, adapts to stress, and recovers from restrictive eating patterns.

Unlike outdated metrics like Body Mass Index (BMI), which fail to reflect true health, MT/BCA focuses on internal markers of nourishment, metabolic function, and sustainable recovery. These assessments are particularly valuable for:

  • Individuals seeking non-weight-based insights into their metabolic healing process, aiding in restoring energy balance and supporting recovery.

  • Those looking to fine-tune fueling strategies and enhance performance outcomes through precise measurements tailored to actual energy needs.

  • Individuals managing health conditions such as cancer, chronic fatigue, pre-diabetes, or food allergies, who can benefit from personalized nutritional guidance.

  • Clients across all ages, including those following plant-based or vegan diets, aiming to optimize nutrient intake and support overall well-being.
