About PNOĒ
We founded our solution on breath analysis because it’s the most holistic
assessment of human physiology and provides vital insights for personalized
nutrition and training programs.
For 100+ years, breath analysis (AKA metabolic testing, VO2max) has been the gold
standard in longevity assessment, nutrition prescription, and evaluation of the most
critical organs (i.e. heart, lungs, cells). Until recently, it was only available in sophisti-
cated clinics.
PNOĒ changed that through the first clinical-grade metabolic analyzer for mass usage
and a proprietary software package that analyzes the human breath, detects health
conditions, and prescribes personalized programs. Any doctor, gym, or health-related
business can provide the most advanced nutrition and health optimization program
possible without training, hiring, or upfront cost.

The problem every health professional faces
The answer is simple. Introducing a new offering is hard. It requires you to master its
background, learn how to sell it, integrate it with your existing services, promote it,
and much more.
Most doctors and health professionals in the United States want to include a nutri-
tion offering in their practice but need help. According to the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit with more than 12,000 doctor members: 73%
of physicians feel that patient visits should include nutrition guidance, but only 15%
feel “totally prepared” to offer it. Another study by the New York School of Medicine
found that “while 94% of resident physicians recognize the importance of diet and
feel that nutrition counseling should be part of patient visits, only 14% feel trained
to offer it.”
Integrating a new offering into a health or wellness practice is NOT a one-man’s job.
We set out to address these issues and create a solution thatenables health
professionals to add the most needed services into their practice:
Personalized, science-backed, clinical-grade nutrition and training.

Why Breath Analysis
PNOĒ is not just another biometric screening device. It’s a solution that enables
you to offer your clients a competitive, lucrative, and arguably necessary
service that includes personalized nutrition and exercise programs.
Breath analysis dates back to the early 20th century and is considered
the most holistic assessment in medicine. It evaluates all components of human
physiology, including oxygen flow through the body. Oxygen is critical for long-term
health, and studies show that an increase in VO2peak correlates with a decrease
in the likelihood of death and onset of chronic disease. Since its inception, breath
analysis has been given many names, including metabolic testing, VO2 max testing,
cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and cardio-metabolic analysis.
14
Why breath analysis matters
The importance of oxygen for long-term health has been established through
studies examining the function of individual elements found in the oxygen chain
(i.e., heart, lungs, cells) and its global function (i.e., overall oxygen consumption).

Variables measured
• VO2peak: Maximum volume of oxygen consumed
• Forced Expired Volume (FVC): The maximum air volume exhaled at rest during
the most prolonged exhalation possible.
18
• Mechanical Efficiency: Ratio of mechanical power over calorie burn per second.
• Aerobic Threshold or First Ventilatory Threshold (VT1): The heart rate at which
fatigue accumulation begins at a sustainable rate for the body.
• Anaerobic Threshold of Second Ventilatory Threshold (VT2): The heart rate at which
fatigue accumulation begins at an unsustainable rate for the body.
The two main types of testing include the resting metabolic rate (RMR) test and
the active metabolic rate (AMR) test.
• The RMR test is a 8-10 minute assessment where the subject lays in a supine/seat-
ed position as motionless as possible and breaths normally.
• The AMR test is a 9-15 minute assessment comprising a 3-minute warm-up, a 4–10
minute exercise phase where intensity is progressively increased every minute (the
intensity increases depending on the
subject’s fitness level), and a 2-minute active recovery.
19
Metabolic Analysis Platform
Through fully customizable graphs, the platform allows one to tabulate all possible
variations of metrics to parse and analyze the information in every way possible.
The PNOĒ mobile app connects with a wide range of biometric screening devices.
Their data can then be collectively analyzed in the PNOĒ data analysis platform.

Science-backed and data-driven analysis
The PNOĒ breath analysis system is a clinically accurate device used by several
health professionals to conduct resting and exercise assessments to evaluate
the subjects’ metabolic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary function. Over the past
four years, more than 100,000 assessments have been conducted using the PNOĒ
breath analysis technology across a highly diverse group of individuals.
22
The PNOĒ Reports
In our quest to make breath analysis a valuable tool for every health professional, we
build powerful metabolic analysis software that translates cardiometabolic data into
actionable insights.
Our metabolic analysis software considers all 23 biomarkers collected from the PNOĒ
device and translates them into scores that provide a multilayered assessment of
one’s health while offering the most fundamental building blocks for crafting a per-
sonalized nutrition and exercise program. This software was built using data from
100,000+ metabolic profiles and established best practices from 1000+ peer-re-
viewed publications and official guidelines from the American Heart Association, the
American Thoracic Society, and the European Heart Association.
Every report generated by our software is also reviewed by one of our metabolic
experts, who will deliver the consultation to your client. Depending on the test
you perform, one of the following two reports will be generated.
Pillars of longevity
23
Metabolic Blue Print and Nutrition Optimization
The Metabolic Blue Print and Nutrition Optimization report is generated after
performing the Resting Metabolic Rate test.
Depending on the goal of your client, each of the two can be further customized
to be geared toward Performance, Weight Loss, or Longevity. This allows you to
further personalize your clients’ experience by providing insights directly relevant to
their health or performance objectives.

Nutrition Planning
A truly effective nutrition plan is one that’s optimized on all four of the following areas
and approaches them in a fashion that’s personalized to the individual’s biology:
• Energy intake
• Macronutrient intake
• Micronutrient intake
• Meal timing
One of the most powerful physiological regulators is the amount of energy or the num-
ber of calories one consumes. It is the lever that controls body weight and is a critical
influencer of hormones, mood, and energy levels. The number of calories one should
consume is linked to the fitness goal and the individual’s metabolic rate. The fitness
goal will determine whether the calories ingested must be less, equal (balance), or
greater than (surplus) the calories burned respectively. To accurately determine, how-
ever, calorie intake, one needs to determine the individual’s metabolic rate since it will
provide the benchmark from which calorie intake will be set below, above, or at the
same level, depending on the fitness goal.
The PNOĒ test provides the gold standard for measuring calorie burn at rest and
throughout the day, allowing for developing a nutrition plan with the calorie intake that
aligns with the target deficit, surplus, or balance. Studies have shown that estimating
a person’s calorie burn using predictive equations can be as much as 25% off. Getting
this number wrong can have several negative implications stemming from eating too
much or too little for your metabolism.
Calorie intake that ensures a healthy weight loss and sustains energy levels.
25
Each person’s metabolism is very unique, meaning that the calories burned, as well as
the fats and carbohydrates used to release these calories, can vary vastly from person
to person.
To determine the optimal fat and carbohydrate intake, one should start by identifying
the fat and carbohydrate utilization throughout the day. The PNOĒ device measures fat
and carbohydrate burn with clinical precision. By using this information, our metabolic
experts then determine the optimal amount of breakdown among fats, carbohydrates,
and proteins in one’s nutrition plan.
Macro intake can vary depending on the workout vs. non-work-out days.
The PNOĒ device scans the most critical systems in one’s body, including the heart,
lungs, cells, and bloodstream, and how breathing interacts negatively or positively
with our brain and neurological system.
26
This allows our metabolic experts to build nutrition plans that include the proper cal-
orie and macronutrient breakdown and the food sources with the micronutrients to
help overcome limitations.
The PNOĒ device scans the most critical systems in one’s body, including the heart,
lungs, cells, and bloodstream, and how breathing interacts negatively or positively
with our brain and neurological system. This allows our metabolic experts to build nu-
trition plans that include the proper calorie and macronutrient breakdown and the
food sources with the micronutrients to help overcome limitations.
The table below provides an example of prescribed food items based on specific lim-
itations identified during the test.
Food sources that fortify your heart, cellular and lung health.
The timing of food is as important as the calories, macros, and micros you consume.
Achieving optimal meal timing can:
27
Several rules need to be followed, including distributing carbohydrates at specific times
of the day, minimizing consumption of specific food items in the evenings, and hitting a
threshold of protein intake by the time of the day.
Applying the rules of optimal meal timing can be easy as long as one has a plan. Our meta-
bolic experts consider all scientifically backed guidelines for achieving optimal meal timing
and building your clients’ nutrition programs around them. Through it, they will know how
to structure their meals, macros, calories, and micronutrients to maximize energy, mitigate
hunger, maximize fat burn, and get the most out of their workouts.
Timing that maximizes energy levels, optimizes sleep and increases the feeling of satiety.
28
Nutrition Plan Interface
To generate a nutrition plan, our metabolic experts consider the information collected
from the PNOĒ metabolic test and a questionnaire gathering additional information about
your clients’ preferences, restrictions, and habits. When the nutrition plan is ready, it can
be accessed through our proprietary nutrition interface, which provides several features
that make the diet easier to follow.
29
Exercise Planning
• Resistance training
• Interval training
• Cardio training
Each type of training has a vastly different impact on our health and performance. As
a result, a truly personalized training plan includes the right amount of the right train-
ing type that addresses the limitations one is facing. Our metabolic experts consider
the limitations identified by the PNOĒ device, the effects each type of training has,
and the goals your clients have to craft an exercise program that’s laser-focused on
the areas it should.

Supercharge your bio-optimization services
through PNOĒ
Bio-optimization services are undeniably one of the most powerful trends in health and
wellness today. The list is long, but some of the most popular ones include cryothera-
py, red light therapy, IV drip therapy, weight loss ingestions, and body contouring. They
generate out-of-pocket revenue from customers, and their popularity is rapidly growing
among consumers of every walk of life, from professional athletes to those training for life.
As a result, equipping your business with the tools and structure to maximize the
revenue and penetration of these services can result in significant business growth.
From blood analysis to body composition, red light therapy, cryotherapy, and oxygen
training, breath analysis which assessments are suitable for each client’s health limita-
tions, and personalize their experience with them.
PNOĒ has been a powerful upselling tool for many health professionals who use its
biometrics to increase penetration and retention of these bio-optimization services.
1. Use tests and re-tests with PNOĒ to quantitatively measure the impact these
bio-optimization services have on your clients and bridge the gap between “feel
better” with “I am better”
2. Use the initial PNOĒ test to identify your clients’ physiological limitations and
determine what bio-optimization services are the best fit for
improving their condition.
3. Use PNOĒ tests and re-tests to calibrate factors of your bio-optimization services
(i.e., time, intensity, sequence) to your client’s physiology.
31
Example of how PNOĒ plugs into cryotherapy service, offering a four-step
cycle to improve your client’s physiological functions:
Integrating biometric screening with a solution like PNOĒ into the existing roster of
bio-optimization services is critical. The necessity stems from the demand for these
services expanding as rapidly as their supply. The number of health facilities offering
them is increasing rapidly in response to the ever-rising consumer demand driven pri-
marily by the need for quick and effective “feel better solutions.
The problem, however, with this trend is that if you are offering one or more of these
services (or considering it), you will see the competitive edge stemming from offering
them either. The response to this problem can only be personalization and inclusion
under the umbrella of a holistic health plan. PNOĒ’s ecosystem can offer just that.
