Let North Hills/bodybody Fitness & Health LLC show you the RIGHT way to diet:
The key to weight loss is to burn more calories than are consumed. But how much does an individual need to cut back to actually lose weight? Metabolic testing answers that question. By eating to their precise metabolic needs, clients will be able to eat as many calories as possible, and still lose weight. This has 2 major benefits. First, there will be greater compliance to the diet since clients are not hungry or tired all the time. Second, the maintenance phase is simply a small increase in caloric intake. Thus, the client will "re-learn" what it means to eat to their metabolism.
bodybody Fitness Metabolic testing provides precise weight loss plans:
The printed metabolic testing report provides optional weight loss plans that are unique to each person tested. These plans specify the number of daily calories necessary for comfortable weight loss and an appropriate exercise regimen. Also included is the number of weeks that will be required to reach the client's goal weight.
Metabolic rate can change during a weight loss program:
Many factors can affect a client's metabolic rate. These factors include body composition, exercise, and diet. Changes in any or all of these factors can alter metabolic rate during the course of a weight loss regimen. Assessing the success of individual weight loss strategies can be accomplished by re-testing metabolic rate over the course of a program.
MOTIVATION
With bodybody Fitness & Health, LLC metabolic testing, clients can take back control of their lives! They no longer have to rely on charts and averages. With measurements that are unique to them and their own bodies, clients can make the choices that will benefit them most and help them to achieve their weight loss goals.
How will Cardio Testing benefit clients?
Fitness Assessment (peak VO2)
VO2 max is considered by exercise physiologists to be the ultimate indicator of cardiovascular fitness. VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen consumed by your body during exercise. The Cardio testing equipment uses VO2 max along with your age to indicate fitness level. A personalized exercise regimen based on true VO2 max is essential to optimum cardio training.
Determines client's anaerobic threshold (AT)
The body can supply adequate oxygen to the muscles up to a certain exercise intensity level or threshold. This threshold is called the anaerobic threshold (AT). Exercising below the anaerobic threshold should be possible for long periods of time without experiencing muscle fatigue or soreness during or following the workout. Working out above the anaerobic threshold will improve cardio-vascular fitness, but it will also lead to fatigue and discomfort during and following the workout.
Calories per heart beat table
The Cardio testing report includes a table indicating how many calories a client burns at every exercise heart rate level. With this information, there is no longer a need to rely on generalized estimates of calories burned provided by a bike or treadmill.
The cornerstone of each Fitness Training Program for each and every client begins with a comprehensive (2+ hour) evaluation and assessment process, which includes the following:
- Completing consent forms & discussing & documenting health history.
- Evaluating your readiness for physical activity.
- Measuring your blood pressure and heart rate.
- Evaluating and assessing your physical fitness.
- Benchmarking current fitness and strength capacities.
- Determining your approximate oxygen uptake rate.
- Performing skin fold tests & recording your weight & measurements.
- Charting your training and nutritional history.
- Discussing fitness, nutrition, and training objectives.
- Preparing a fitness program outline.
- Photographing you in order to document your “before” appearance as a visual tool for tracking your progress.
Very few Personal Trainers are trained or skilled in conducting a true health and fitness evaluation/assessment, even though they might offer that terminology.
I do not conduct a one size fits all type of personal health and fitness training program. Just putting people through exercise routines, unrelated to their heath or fitness needs is a very poor practice and could jeopardize a clients health.
Each comprehensive health and fitness program is tailored to the clients, age, gender, health needs, special health conditions, fitness level, body type, goals, etc. and fees are determined accordingly, based on all the information gathered during the evaluation/assessment process.
Without the information that is gathered and obtained during the required 2 hour health and fitness evaluation/assessment, there would be little I could advise you on regarding an appropriate, individually tailored health and fitness program. I would have no information about you or your existing health to do so.
Most trainers offer no real or true health evaluation/assessment, or screening before starting a fitness program, even though they may claim too. Most don't know how to conduct one. Most have never been trained on how to conduct one, and quite honestly, wing it.
Most trainers don't understand what information to gather, and don't understand the information they may obtain and how to apply it to the client's health and fitness once they have obtained it. This is especially true if they are not certified.
A thorough health evaluation/assessment is essential for clients who suffer from physical or disease limitations, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia, or orthopedic problems, or those who require rehab fitness training due to heart surgery recovery, stroke, car accidents, or other trauma.
Many clients who have come to me had no previous knowledge of preexisting health problems, and had them indicated and spotted by my health and fitness evaluation/assessment. An untrained, unskilled, uncertified personal fitness trainer would not recognize these indicators or be able to develop an evaluation/assessment procedure that would spot them.
Muscle Gain, Fat loss, Weight Gain, Body Composition, Lifestyle Changes, Depression Management, and Stress Management
Americans are losing the battle of the bulge despite many new weapons against being overweight. The latest government statistics show that a majority of Americans have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25, which means they are clinically overweight. Unfortunately, most weight loss programs result in temporary benefits and often lead the participants to rebound to an even higher weight than before they started. The weight management program provided by bodybody Fitness & Health, LLC enables our clients to lose weight and increase lean body mass permanently. This is accomplished through a powerful, multi-pronged attack including individualized nutrition and exercise programs and effective behavior modification techniques. This program provides you with technologies to:
- Reduce Cholesterol Levels
- Improve HDL/LDL Ratios
- Improve Cardio Fitness
- Build Strength and Stamina
- Expand Lung Capacity
- Look and Feel Your Best
- Lose Body Fat
- Increase Percentage of Lean Body Mass
- Lower Blood Pressure
- Elevate Basal Metabolic Rate
- Reduce Triglyceride Levels
People who are overweight are tired of hearing incredible claims about magical cures that require no effort. Usually the only weight lost by these miraculous approaches is concentrated in the area of your wallet. The weight management program provided by bodybody Fitness & Health, LLC works because it puts the responsibility of losing weight on the client. The program empowers clients by providing them with tools to take control of their own destiny. These tools include a highly effective nutrition program, menu planner, a personal exercise journal, and a daily diary to track progress.
Clients will be taught how to set realistic goals, positive self-talk and self direction, menu management skills, how to exercise and love it, how to manage stress, and how to create a healthy lifestyle. This program will give you the tools to track, monitor, and direct your own personal weight management journey.
Metabolic Testing
A hospital quality measurement of metabolism determines the exact number of calories each client needs. Science has shown that this measurement leads to success no matter what diet strategy is used.
Finally, something NEW in the weight loss industry!
We measure a person's resting metabolic rate with a simple 10 minute breath test. The technology once reserved for hospitals and universities is now available through bodybody in a low cost, easy to use system!
Testing metabolic rates will determine exactly how many calories a person may eat and still lose or maintain weight. No more charts, averages, or guessing!
For the first time in years, there is something truly new for the thousands of people who are trying to lose weight.
By calculating your unique target caloric zones we will map out exactly what you body needs to loose and maintain a healthy body weight. Never before have you had this information available. Never before have you had such insight to the inner workings of your fat burning machine. Never before have you had this much of a chance to succeed!
Weight Training vs. Aerobics for Reducing Fat:
A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology proves that when it comes to burning fat and building strength, weight training is by far the best and it can't be beat.
30 active men were placed randomly in one of three groups.
The first group of men ran or jogged, the second group of men worked out with weights, and the third group of men combined both, in a cross-training program.
Fitness assessments were taken after the groups had exercised for 10 weeks, three days per week.
Weight lifters increased their base metabolic rate (BMR) (the rate at which ones body burns calories) by more than 6%, while cross trainers increased their BMR by only 4.6%.
When assessing strength gains findings showed similar results. Measured in one rep maxes, resistance-trained men had gains of 24% in bench press and 23% in squat. The cross-trained men made gains of 19% and 12% respectively.
Runners noted significant changes in aerobic power but NO improvement in metabolic rate or strength were found.
Instruction on how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat
We have all heard that "you are what you eat." But this tired axiom tells only part of the story. It is also critical HOW you eat and how often you eat. Further, you must monitor macronutrients ratios and periodize caloric intake to match your athletic objectives.
The government says the Required Daily Allowances (RDAs) are the answer. We agree, if mere survival is your objective. But if PERFORMANCE is your goal, the RDAs won't cut it. Neither will the four food groups. Neither will eating three square meals a day.
Incorporating a cutting-edge, scientifically sound nutritional regimen, however, will radically increase the effectiveness of your performance objectives, resulting in more lean mass, less body fat, and greater energy levels.
By learning the science behind nutrition and its effects on performance, muscle growth, and fat loss, you will gain a decided advantage in your overall results with your exercise program.
Determining your body type, metabolic rate, caloric expenditure, and calculating what your caloric needs and requirements are to gain muscle, lose fat, and give you more energy is part of our program.
Balancing nutrition, with cardio vascular and anaerobic resistance training are the 3 essential key components to make it all work and help you achieve your health and fitness goals. We all know that fad diets don't work long term and may even cause considerable health risks.
Complement your fitness and nutrition program with a customized supplement regimen based on your unique body chemistry determined through urinalysis.
Your Body's Needs Are Very Personal
Now, an affordable in-home test can identify the kind of nutritional support your body needs for vibrant health.
It’s Time to Separate Nutritional Fact From Nutritional Fiction
If you’re confused about nutritional supplementation, you’re not alone. The media is filled with information, much of it contradictory, pushing this nutrient or that, and all promising dramatic improvements in health, vitality…even longevity. With all the hype out there, it’s easy to be unsure whether you’re taking too much or too little of what you need for optimal health.
There are, however, two things about which you can be scientifically certain:
Your body is unique.
Scientific testing is the most accurate way to separate myth from reality.
The PrivaTest™ Unlocks Your Body’s Nutritional Secrets
Now, a breakthrough from Ideal Health® can take the confusion out of your personal supplement plan. With Ideal Health’s PrivaTest you no longer have to guess which nutrients you need form the bewildering variety of popular “in-vogue”or “one-size-fits-all” supplements.
Developed by a leading researcher in nutritional testing, PrivaTest is an accurate, scientific look into your personal biochemistry. It provides an individualized reading of the amount of nutritional support needed by the key areas of your metabolism. And it does so with the ease and privacy of a simple in-home urine collection.
PrivaTest is a “breakthrough” because, for the first time ever, this kind of scientific individualized testing is affordable and available to virtually everyone –not just the rich and famous.
The Hard Science Behind PrivaTest …
Traditionally, nutritional testing measures the nutrients that happen to be in the blood at any given time. But to really know what’s going on in your body, you want to know if these nutrients are getting into your cells to do their work. One of the best ways to do that is to look at the end products of your metabolism. PrivaTest does this by looking for chemical compounds that are coming out in your urine.
PrivaTest doesn’t measure any particular nutrient level in your urine, since this would provide very little useful information. Instead, it determines how much outside nutritional support you need by reading vital information about how three critical areas of your metabolism are using the nutrients you take in. These include:
Urinary Sulfate–A marker for sulfur reserves (needed for your liver’s detoxification processes).
Urinary Lipid Peroxides–A marker for oxidative stress (determines general antioxidant status).
Urinary Nitrate–A marker for the regulation of nitric oxide (a compound involved in many body systems including the immune system, the nervous system, and the circulatory system).
These areas were selected because research has shown that poor or altered function in them may be the root cause for many degenerative diseases. For instance, some researchers estimate that as much as 90% of cancers can be linked to poor clearance of environmental toxins from the body. Detoxification function is one of the three areas examined in the PrivaTest.
Additionally, free radical damage has been identified as a causative factor in many health conditions, including accelerated aging. Once again, PrivaTest looks at markers for how well your antioxidant system is functioning.
Finally, the 1996 Nobel Prize in Medicine was given for research in nitric oxide regulation and its impact on vital metabolic functions. PrivaTest measures a physiological marker for nitric oxide production in the body. Body system function is what we are testing, not just nutrient levels in the blood or urine.
…And the Scientists
The PrivaTest was developed by Dr. J. Alexander Bralley, chief scientist and founder of Metametrix® Clinical Laboratory, renowned since 1984 as one of the premier nutrition testing laboratories in the country. As experts in the field, Dr. Bralley and his staff have provided laboratory testing and nutritional guidance for numerous professional, collegiate and Olympic athletes in many different sports as well as the rich and famous, all exclusively through health professionals.
Dr. Bralley specially designed the PrivaTest for Ideal Health to provide important information about specific biochemical pathways, which can then be influenced with targeted nutritional supplementation.
No other company or product offers individuals the opportunity to gain this kind of insight into their own unique biochemistry, and have the opportunity to have a customized nutritional supplement created based on their unique biochemical needs.
Customized Nutrition Based on Your Biochemistry
Once your PrivaTest sample is received and analyzed by Metametrix Laboratory, the results will be rushed to you in your detailed PrivaTest Report. Accompanying your report will be your first month’s supply of Custom Essentials –your own individualized blend of up to 50 key nutrients.

Senior fitness is an exercise and nutritional program specifically designed for older adults and their needs. Anti-Aging Counseling.
Currently, the fastest growing population in the U.S. is the 65-years and above age group. By the year 2030, the number of people over the age of 65 will have grown to 63 million. With regular exercise there is no reason why older adults can't experience good health for their entire lives.
Unfortunately, only one in four older adults participates in regular physical activity. Now is the time for seniors and older adults to seize the opportunity to maximize their health potential by improving their health and fitness through regular physical activity and exercise.
Study after study has shown that older adults are not only capable of strenuous exercise, but vastly improve their quality of life by increasing strength, mobility, and independence. Many of the chronic conditions that afflict older adults stem from inactivity, muscle loss, and reduced cardiovascular capacity.
Scientific evidence has clearly proven that resistance training is one of the most important aspects in reversing these conditions. To be able to restore the capacity to perform ordinary daily activities, such as climbing stairs and unloading groceries, is incredibly empowering.
Exercise Beats Diabetes!
According to the American Diabetes Association, an estimated 10.3 million Americans suffer from diabetes, and more than 798,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that proper nutrition-including insoluble fiber-promotes stable blood sugar levels.
Two studies in medical literature—one conducted at the Copper Clinic in Dallas, Texas, and the other, at The Juntendo University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan—indicate that exercise wards off Type-2 Diabetes, also known as "adult-onset" diabetes. More than 14 million Americans will be affected by this type of disease.
Both studies compared men who were involved in physical exercise over many years to groups of men who were not physically fit or not involved in any exercise over the course of their lifetimes.
When ranked, those men who were least fit, compared to those who were most fit, had 3.7 times the diabetes risk, even after age, smoking, alcohol use, and family history had been factored out.
What's more, men who had been involved in fitness and exercise in their 30's were in their 50's at significantly less odds to developing diabetes or impaired glucose intolerance, a precursor to diabetes.
bodybody Fitness & Health, LLC is dedicated to improving the health of older adults through increased strength to upper and lower extremities and torso, as well as increasing range of motion and flexibility. Many of our clients have enjoyed reduction in high blood pressure, heart rates, and cholesterol levels.
Increasing muscle mass also helps build and increase bone density in older adults, which is exceptionally important. Building strength, muscle mass, endurance, and bone density helps reduce the incidence of falls by older adults, as well as, reducing the often crippling injuries that result from such falls.
Frequently, afflictions like osteoarthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, loss of mobility, and many other conditions greatly improve with regular exercise and individual personal health and fitness training provided by our expert certified personal trainers at bodybody Fitness & Health and conducted in our state-of-the-art, private fitness studio. We have successfully worked with stroke victims, clients with vascular necrosis, and heart disease, as well as with clients who were able to shed their leg braces after a few months of fitness training.
Weight Training Build Bone Mass and
Helps Prevents The Onset of Osteoporosis:
An analysis of 10 years of research was reported recently in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. What it revealed was that nearly two dozen comprehensive studies show a "direct and positive relationship" between resistance training (weight lifting) and bone density.
The report indicated that while other types of exercise may provide some bone building benefits, weight lifting far surpasses any others for building muscle mass and bone mass. Weight lifting may prove superior to even traditional drug and nutrition strategies for improving bone health since it also increases muscle mass and improves overall body strength and balance.
Osteoporosis contributes to over one and a half million debilitating fractures each year. For years, the scientific community has known that exercise helps prevent the onset of Osteoporosis. What wasn't well established was how weight training compared to aerobic training in building bone mass and arresting this disease.
Techniques in Stretching, Massage, Range of Motion, Flexibility Training, Post-Rehabilitation Fitness and Exercise Training.
One of the biggest gaps in the healthcare industry today exists between rehabilitation and fully restored fitness. Due to the intolerable influence imposed on healthcare providers by the insurance industry, patients are forced to discontinue physical therapy (PT) long before they have recovered because their insurance companies will pay for only a ridiculously inadequate number of treatments. When insurance coverage runs out, most individuals are unable to afford the exorbitant cost of post-rehab treatments.
The bodybody Fitness & Health fitness therapy program provides clients an opportunity to fill the gap by providing detailed instructions on how to integrate strength training by designing programs that accommodate the special needs of post-rehab patients and individuals who have suffered from such common conditions as:
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Stroke
- ACL Reconstruction
- Total Hip or Knee Replacement
- Cancer
- Osteoporosis
- Lower Back Pain
- Arthritis
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Asthma
- HIV and Other Immune System Disorders
- Orthopedic Conditions of the Neck, Shoulders, Hips, Knees, Ankles, Wrists, and Hands
- Fibromyalgia
Adaptive fitness for people with health conditions that may limit their ability to achieve health and fitness on their own. General examples: diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, respiratory conditions, orthopedic problems, pregnancy, rehab from same, or car accidents, surgery, or specific health conditions that limit movement and mobility, etc.
Adaptive Fitness for people with health conditions that may limit their ability to achieve health and fitness on their own. These conditions may include general examples, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, respiratory conditions, orthopedic problems, pregnancy, rehab from same, car accidents, or surgery.
The fitness program for Adaptive Fitness (Fitness for the Physically Limited) is perhaps the most challenging and certainly the most rewarding of all our programs.
In our society, there is the underlying assumption that fitness does not apply to these individuals, but the medical reality is just the opposite. Because people with disabilities are often unable to perform basic activities like walking, their autonomic functions such as circulation, respiration, and digestion are more susceptible to the ravages of inactivity. So it is even more important to seek out activities and exercises to improve overall fitness.
bodybody Fitness & Health LLC tailors exercise programs to meet the very specific individual needs of people with disabilities, from the most severely disabled to the wheel chair athlete.
Strength and conditioning is universally applied to all programs, with modifications to the target group being trained, but for the purpose of this section we will discuss a more robust program for individuals that are training for a specific program, or who are interested primarily in adding significant muscle mass.
Sometimes modification of life long habits that hinder us or otherwise prohibit us from achieving our goals is necessary to incorporate in our overall fitness programs. Learning management skills in areas such as depression, stress, time, or behavioral traits often help empower us in reaching our desired outcomes.
