Your Metabolic
Age Doesn’t Lie.

VO₂ Max Metabolic Testing

How Long You Live Depends on One Number—And Most Doctors Aren’t Measuring It.

VO₂ max is the single strongest predictor of how long—and how well—you’ll live.
At MD Helix, we use PNOĒ’s hospital-grade metabolic testing system to measure your true metabolic age and cardiorespiratory healthspan—then engineer a plan to improve it.

VO₂ Max—The Most Important Number in Longevity Medicine

Peter Attia calls VO₂ max “the #1 most actionable metric in all of preventive medicine.”
Why? Because your peak oxygen utilization correlates directly with:

  • All-cause mortality
  • Cardiovascular risk
  • Cognitive decline
  • Physical resilience after 50
  • Metabolic efficiency (fat vs. carb use)

Yet 99% of clinicians never test it—and most “longevity labs” don’t go near it.

At MD Helix, we make it one of the foundational pillars of your health optimization protocol.

How We Measure Your VO₂ Max

We use the PNOĒ metabolic system—the same tech used by Olympic performance labs and elite cardiac rehab clinics—to run a complete cardiorespiratory analysis in under 25 minutes.

VO₂ Max + VO₂ at Threshold
→ Measures your peak aerobic capacity and efficiency

Metabolic Age Calculation
→ Calculates how old your body functions vs. how old you are

Fat vs. Carb Burn Profile
→ Reveals how well your body uses fat at rest vs. during effort (critical for fat loss & longevity)

Ventilatory Thresholds
→ Pinpoints the exact training zones to increase lifespan

Recovery + Oxygen Debt
→ Assesses how well your mitochondria bounce back post-stress

Why It Matters

Most aging isn’t caused by genetics. It’s caused by declining metabolic function.

When your VO₂ max drops, so does everything else:
⚠️ Brain fog and fatigue
⚠️ Insulin resistance and weight gain
⚠️ Shortened healthspan
⚠️ Accelerated biological aging

A single 5-point increase in VO₂ max can translate to years of added life expectancy.

If you’re not measuring and improving it, you’re aging blindly.

Your Results, Personalized and Actionable

After testing, your MD Helix physician will deliver:

📊 Your Metabolic Age vs. Chronological Age
📊 VO₂ Max score and percentile by age/gender
📊 Zone 2 + Zone 5 training recommendations
📊 Custom cardio + resistance training blueprint
📊 Supplement and recovery protocol based on mitochondrial demand

And most critically:
📈 Ongoing re-testing to track improvements and reverse functional aging 

What Makes MD Helix Different?

Unlike typical longevity clinics, we don’t just look at labs.
We combine biomarkers + breath data + biological age testing into one integrated aging protocol.

PNOĒ VO₂ max testing in-house
Combined with DNA methylation testing for dual-age tracking
Results feed directly into your customized exercise, hormone, and peptide plans
Retested quarterly to prove transformation—on paper and in performance

🧬 This is more advanced than what Bryan Johnson, Sinclair, or Attia are doing—because it fuses function with biology.
