Thriving Thursday Nutrition Notes

Hello there!
Johannah here—Your Kearney Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator checking in with another edition of Thriving Thursday Nutrition Notes!
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results—whether it’s weight loss, more energy, better performance, or simply maintaining your health—you’re not alone.
That’s why Evergreen Health + Wellness now offers metabolic testing as part of our personalized nutrition services. We’re removing the guesswork from your plan and replacing it with real data.
What Is Metabolic Testing?
Metabolic testing measures your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)—the number of calories your body burns at rest to support essential functions like breathing, circulation, and tissue repair.
This isn’t an online calculator. It’s your body’s actual data, measured with indirect calorimetry—the gold standard for RMR testing.
The test is quick, non-invasive, and requires only a short fasting period.
We’ll help you understand:
- How efficient your metabolism is
- How many calories your body burns at rest, during daily activities, and with exercise
- Your personalized calorie needs for weight loss, maintenance, or performance
- How your metabolism compares to others of the same age, sex, height, and weight
Who Benefits Most?
Metabolic testing is valuable for almost everyone, especially if you:
- Use GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound)
- Feel stuck at a plateau
- Have a history of yo-yo dieting
- Are an athlete or active individual
- Are perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or postpartum
- Have thyroid or hormone imbalances
- Are recovering from under-eating or disordered eating
- Simply want to understand how your body works
Why It Matters
Online calorie calculators can be off by hundreds of calories. Building a plan on inaccurate numbers leads to frustration.
With metabolic testing, you’ll leave with:
- A detailed, personalized metabolic report
- A clear understanding of your calorie and nutrient needs
- A plan that supports your goals, lifestyle, and preferences
A Note for GLP-1 Users
GLP-1 medications are powerful tools for weight management—but they’re not a stand-alone solution. Nutrition matters. Muscle matters. And metabolism matters.
Metabolic testing helps you:
- Establish your true baseline (so you don’t over-restrict)
- Ensure you’re meeting nutrient needs even when appetite is suppressed
- Support long-term success with lean mass retention
- Monitor metabolic slowdowns during rapid weight loss

Scans for Cans Campaign Update
In August, we planned to initiate the Scans for Cans Campaign, and it quickly became evident that there's no reason to rush this! Therefore, the goal has been adjusted to complete 100 health scans (body composition and basic lifestyle risk screening), in exchange for food donations to the Kearney Food Pantry by the end of 2025.
We're still planning to host some open-house clinics at office. Exact schedule coming out soon with online sign up
It's our hope that Scans for Cans speaks to you as a simple, feel-good way to take charge of your health while giving back to your community. Let’s keep Kearney nourished—inside and out.
