How We Use Testing in Your Nutrition Plan
At Second Arrow Nutrition, we look at the full picture—not just calories or macros. We consider your lifestyle, culture, habits, stress, time constraints, and goals.
Then we layer in objective data:
-
DEXA → bone density + body composition
-
RMR → how your body burns energy at rest
-
VO₂ Max → aerobic fitness and performance potential
-
Blood Work & Medical History → health markers that influence nutrition
-
Holistic Nutrition Assessment → dietary strengths, challenges, and opportunity
This combination gives us a personalized baseline and allows us to track meaningful change—No more guesswork; just real health and performance guidance.
Not a “numbers person”? No Problem.
You don’t have to understand every metric. That’s our job.
We translate the data into clear next steps—what to eat, how to fuel, and how to support the training or lifestyle you want. You stay focused on habits and consistency; we keep an eye on the science.
Why Our Partnership Works
Second Arrow Nutrition and DexaFit Greenville are separate businesses working together because we share the same mission: helping you understand your body and optimize your performance with clarity—not guesswork.
With this partnership, you get:
-
Professional-grade assessments
-
Expert interpretation
-
A practical plan tailored to your physiology
Tools alone don’t create change... data + coaching + accountability does.
Through this collaboration, we turn your data into action—educating you on your specific needs, empowering you with personalized strategies, and guiding you toward sustainable habits that last season after season, year after year.
Vo2 Max
45 minute test
VO₂ Max testing measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise—essentially, your engine size for endurance. It’s valuable for athletes wanting to fine-tune training zones and improve performance, as well as for anyone looking to better understand cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Second Arrow Nutrition can use this data to tailor fueling strategies for exercise and help you understand how well your body uses carbohydrates and fat, a key indicator of metabolic health.
Resting Metabolic Rate
30 minute test
RMR testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest, giving insight into your baseline energy needs. It’s useful for both athletes and non-athletes who want to understand metabolism, support body composition goals, or optimize energy balance.
Second Arrow Nutrition uses RMR results to personalize nutrition plans for performance, energy availability, weight management, and recovery. No more guessing your energy needs.
Dexa Scan
30 minute test
A DEXA scan is the gold-standard for analysis of body composition—measuring bone density, muscle mass, and fat distribution. It’s ideal for athletes tracking performance changes, as well as individuals focused on bone health or long-term wellness.
Second Arrow Nutrition uses this information to assess body composition, identify muscle imbalances, measure training or weight loss progress, and nutrition strategies to protect bone health at every age.
