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.

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 two tests: Metabolic Testing (MT), which measures your energy expenditure and how efficiently your body uses fuel and Body Composition Analysis (BCA), which evaluates muscle mass and other key markers to assess overall nourishment.
Unlike outdated tools like Body Mass Index (BMI), MT/BCA focuses on internal markers of health, metabolic function, and long-term recovery. These assessments are particularly valuable for:
-
Individuals seeking non-weight-based insights into their metabolic healing process, by measuring, for instance, skelatal muscle mass or lean tissue mass. We can also work with individuals struggling with compulsive exercise.

-
Those looking to fine-tune fueling strategies and understand how body composition affects performance capacity and recovery.
-
Individuals managing health conditions such as cancer, chronic fatigue, pre-diabetes, or food allergies, who can benefit from personalized nutritional guidance. Learn more about testing to address nutrition deficits related to medical treatments and chronic health conditions.
