THE SHIFT CLINIC / TESTING + LOCATION

Understand your system. Choose your next step.

Testing is one option within the Shift system, not a requirement. Learn about the questions it can help explore, then decide what support fits your next step.

START PROGRAM

Learn about your options.

Testing is introduced during Start. You can take part in Start without buying testing or a membership.

AFTER START

Choose what is useful.

Testing is available afterward, as desired and appropriate. Your next step depends on your questions and clinical assessment.

OPTIONAL TESTING / PHASE II

Different tests. Different questions.

Our expanded practice is planned to open in January 2027. The testing options below are planned offers. Availability, eligibility, coverage and fees are confirmed before booking.

01 / RESTING METABOLISM + GLUCOSE

Your resting starting point.

How much energy does your body use at rest? What do your glucose patterns look like?

Fasted resting metabolism testing plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). These measurements can help inform conversations about nourishment and movement.

This bundle does not include active metabolic testing. Pricing to be confirmed.

02 / ACTIVE METABOLIC TESTING

Your response to activity.

What happens when the work increases?

Active testing includes VO2 max, spirometry and muscle oxygen measurement using NIRS. It is a separate option from the resting metabolism and CGM bundle.

Pricing to be confirmed.

03 / STRENGTH + POWER

Your physical capacity.

What can strength and power measurements add to your picture?

Force-plate and grip-strength testing give another way to look at physical capacity alongside your broader plan.

Pricing to be confirmed.

04 / COGNITIVE HEALTH + VISION

Another part of the picture.

What else is worth understanding?

Cognitive health assessment and vision testing are additional options in the planned testing offer.

Pricing to be confirmed.

Not every test is included in every membership. No testing, appointment or payment is booked through the waitlist.
