Executive Health Program
Our Executive Health Program is the true definition of proactive healthcare. We identify health risk and provide you with opportunities to make real, impactful change.
For workplace champions and high‑performers.
Our Executive Health Program is unlike any other around. It’s all about putting theory into practice — so lessons are lived, not just learned. We not only define your current health status through a series of assessments, but we also provide you with the knowledge and tools to feel and perform your best when it matters most.
This isn’t a one-and-done medical. We provide you with ongoing care and accountability for an entire year after your assessment.
Locally designed program with your time constraints in mind.

Health Assessments
DEXA FULL BODY COMPOSITION SCAN
We use the same diagnostic tools used in hospitals to precisely measure body composition such as lean mass, fat mass and bone density.
This technology provides the most accurate information about your body and your health. The data we gather has a direct impact on your health score and should not be predicted but rather measured only using our medical grade DEXA scan.
RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR)
The RMR test quantifies the amount of energy your body needs at rest, by analyzing your breathing during 15 mins of quiet relaxation.
The energy used is expressed as the number of calories your body burns at rest, giving you the data to plan successful weight gain, weight maintenance, or weight loss strategies.
Considering that approximately 60-70% of your daily energy needs are dictated by your RMR, understanding your true energy demands is important to optimize health.
When this information is used appropriately, a positive energy balance can facilitate gains in lean mass when paired with exercise stimuli. However, excessive positive energy balance can cause weight-related health issues such as obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Inversely, a negative energy balance may facilitate fat loss, but if not appropriately executed may also result in several nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, disordered body image and muscle mass loss.
Having an RMR test done at Pure through direct gas analysis (the gold standard) ensures that your important fuelling decisions are individualized, and not based on inaccurate predictive equations used in so many mainstream apps and facilities.
Furthermore, we provide you with expert care and safe professional guidance on the next steps should you choose to pursue energy intake changes for desired outcomes.
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT EVALUATION
Using technology traditionally only used on professional and Olympic athletes, Pure goes significantly further in providing our clients with a movement screen that identifies pattern, capacity and skill problems.
Our movement screen was established using a collaborative approach with input from many disciplines allowing us to analyze the data to understand its clinical significance.
Gone are the days of guessing. By precisely measuring these movement characteristics, we are able to make targeted programming/referral decisions with the goal of optimal movement.
SPIROMETRY
The spirometry test measures lung function. Performance of a maximal inhalation (breath-in) and exhalation (breath-out) through a spirometer apparatus provides valuable data on how the lung moves air in and out of your body. The values of this test can be analyzed to identify pre-existing lung conditions or provide baseline lung function values for long-term surveillance.
Lung function can be affected by many environmental factors such as exposure to pollutants, allergens, viruses (like COVID-19), or dust. Alternatively, lung function may be compromised by several disease states such as Asthma, COPD, or Obesity.
Determining your lung function allows our professionals to guide you on strategies to keep your lungs safe and optimally functioning throughout your life.
CARDIOPULMONARY CAPACITY TEST
One of the greatest predictors of overall health and longevity.
The most important marker of risk, yielded by a cardiac exercise test is the measure of functional capacity. Ideally, functional capacity should be measured via direct measurement of oxygen consumption. VO2 max, or aerobic capacity, is known as your cardiopulmonary capacity. It’s a measurement of the maximum oxygen your body can consume during an incremental exercise test. In asymptomatic individuals, this test is the criterion measure for cardiopulmonary capacity.
We test your VO2 Max using a treadmill-based exercise test that provides an enhanced assessment of your cardiorespiratory function and your fitness level.
NUTRIGENOMIX *
Learn how genes impact weight loss & body composition, nutrient metabolism, heart health, performance, fertility, food intolerances, and eating habits.
Evidence shows that one-size-fits-all nutrition recommendations are inefficient and often ineffective. Research showed that DNA-based nutrition recommendations result in greater dietary improvements than general advice.
The tests include a great amount of information on the metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and specific nutrients that help you make small changes in your everyday meals that make a lot of difference in optimizing your health.
What makes Nutrigenomix different when it comes to genetic testing for personalized nutrition?
✔️Scientific Leadership: with a team of world-renowned researchers, Nutrigenomix sets the foundation of evidence-based, established, and robust scientific research.
✔️Research: we are the only genetic testing company that funds and conducts original nutrition & genetics research at universities around the world, with the only genetic test validated by randomized controlled trials on personalized nutrition.
✔️ Targeted, Action-Oriented Genetic Markers: we focus on actionable nutrition and lifestyle information based on scientific evidence.
✔️ Customization: we provide our network of health professionals with a variety of options including reports in 10 languages, co-branding, and white labeling options.
✔️ Privacy and Security: we ensure the anonymity of all samples and use the most stringent standards for secure data transfer, privacy and security.
✔️ Laboratory Standards: we have a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory with stringent quality control standards to ensure accurate results.
*Additional cost for Starter and Catalyst, included in Game Changer.
SPORT SCIENCE VO2 TESTING**
A treadmill or cycle-based test that anchors your unique physiology to very specific performance and training metrics.
** Additional cost should you opt into sports science testing stream.
