METABOLIC HEALTH + HUMAN PERFORMANCE
UNDERSTAND YOUR METABOLISM.
Know What to do Next.
ISHP Labs measures how your body uses energy, maintains muscle and responds to physical demand at rest, during activity and through recovery.
We turn those measurements into clear, individualized insights to help guide your nutrition, exercise, health and performance.
METABOLISM IS MORE THAN A NUMBER
Metabolism is more than Calories.
Most people think of metabolism as how quickly they burn calories.
It's much more than that.
Your metabolism is part of a larger physiological system that determines how your body produces and uses energy, how much energy it requires, how it uses oxygen and fuel during activity, and how it responds when physical demand increases.
Understanding that system requires looking beyond a single number.
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER NUMBER
You Need to Know What the Numbers Mean.
A VO2 Max score. A resting metabolic rate. Body fat percentage. Lean muscle mass.
Each measurement can tell us something.
But the real value comes from understanding how those measurements relate to one another, what they mean for you, and what you should do with that information.
START WITH THE PERSON, NOT THE TEST
What are you Trying to Understand?
At ISHP, we believe better health decisions begin with understanding the individual. Every person comes to us with a different question, a different physiology, and a different goal.
That is why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to metabolic health and human performance.
Whether someone is navigating weight loss, experiencing changes through midlife, looking to stay strong and independent as they age, pursuing better performance, or simply wanting to understand their health more deeply, the journey starts with the right question and the right measurements.
Our role is to bring together objective data, individualized interpretation, and meaningful guidance to help people understand what is happening in their body and what to do next.
We work alongside individuals, healthcare professionals, coaches, and organizations to create a more connected and proactive approach to health, one built around measurement, understanding, action, and measurable change over time.
Because better health isn't about collecting more numbers. It's about knowing which numbers matter to you, what they mean, and what you can do with them.
GLP-1 + Weight Management
I'm losing weight.
But what am I actually losing?
The number on the scale doesn't tell you whether you're losing fat, muscle-or how your body's energy requirements may be changing.
ISHP can monitor metabolism, body composition, muscle and physical capacity throughout your weight-management
Midlife & Metabolic Health
My body is changing.
How should my strategy change with it?
Midlife can bring changes in body composition, muscle, energy needs, exercise response and recovery.
Instead of building your strategy around assumptions, ISHP measures the physiology we can objectively assess so your nutrition and exercise decisions can become more individualized.
Healthy Aging + Longevity Baseline
I want to stay strong and active.
What should I protect now?
Healthy aging is about more than living longer. It is about maintaining the muscle, strength, aerobic fitness and physical capacity that keep you active, independent and doing the things you enjoy.
ISHP measures your metabolic health and human performance to establish an objective baseline, identify what to protect or improve, and monitor meaningful changes over time.
Endurance Performance
I want to perform better.
How should I train and fuel?
Understand how your body uses oxygen and fuel as intensity increases-including your thresholds, training zones, respiratory response and recovery.
Turn your physiology into more precise training and fueling decisions.
ABOUT US
ISHP Labs is a metabolic health and human performance assessment company that helps people and their healthcare professionals better understand how the body is functioning. We objectively measure how the body uses energy, maintains muscle and responds to physical demand, at rest, during activity and through recovery. We then interpret those results to provide clear, individualized insights that can help guide decisions around nutrition, exercise, healthy aging and performance, while providing a meaningful baseline to measure progress over time.
