Metabolic testing

Last week one of my friends said that his 16 year old son fainted before dinner and whacked his head pretty solid. The next day I asked him how everything was going and he said his son was doing much better and going in for testing (today). I thought man I’ve been a malnourished 16 year old kid before and fainted, so I gathered the courage to talk to him about his eating habits and physical activity. Turns out he is into many sports and farm activities and only weighs 120 lbs @ 6’ tall. I didn’t want to overstep but also lightly suggested he should get some metabolic testing along with the other recommended tests.

Today we learned that his heart, lungs, brain, equilibrium, hearing… are all great. The metabolic tests revealed that his BMR is 2500! The kid could eat 4 pizzas a day with those numbers (not my advice lol). I was so happy to hear that he’s doing well today and he started a meal plan to gain the deficit. I became so passionate about offering the PFU program free to kiddos today. Starting off small with free family fitness, sauna and cold plunge soon🔥❄️. Like this weekend soon!!

My wife and I look forward to this journey together with the amazing folks with
