What we measure
The intelligence layer behind the memberships.
Four established assessments — body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, resting metabolic rate, and comprehensive blood work. They aren’t the product; they’re the evidence your Performance Advisor (and, in Valence Private, your retained physician) manages your plan against. This is educational; it is not a diagnosis.
Body composition
DEXA
A precise scan of what your body is actually made of — beyond the bathroom scale. It’s the structural picture beneath the surface.
Body composition
Lean mass and fat mass, region by region — a far more useful picture than weight alone.
Visceral fat
The fat carried around the organs, a metric many people have never had measured.
Bone density
A structural read on the skeleton that tends to go unmeasured until much later in life.
Cardiorespiratory fitness
VO₂max
A direct measurement of your aerobic engine — one of the most-studied markers of fitness and physical capacity.
Aerobic capacity
How efficiently your body takes in and uses oxygen at effort — your cardiorespiratory ceiling.
Training zones
Context for where your engine sits today, so effort can be directed rather than guessed at.
A repeatable marker
A number you can re-test over time to see whether the work is moving the needle.
Resting metabolic rate
RMR
A measured read of how much energy your body uses at rest — the quiet engine behind every nutrition and energy decision in your plan.
Resting energy use
How many calories your body uses at complete rest — the baseline your daily energy needs are built on.
Metabolic context
An educational read on how your metabolism compares to expectations, so nutrition decisions start from your numbers rather than a formula.
Fuel for the plan
A practical anchor for energy and nutrition planning — and another marker to revisit as training changes your physiology.
Comprehensive panel
Blood work
A broad, category-level panel. We show categories here rather than specific markers or reference ranges — those are set and interpreted with the Valence clinical team.
Metabolic markers
A category-level look at how your body processes fuel.
Cardiovascular markers
Broad indicators relevant to long-term cardiovascular wellness.
Hormonal & general panels
A comprehensive baseline across the systems that quietly shape how you feel.
The exact panel and any interpretation are confirmed by the Valence clinical team. We do not publish reference ranges or diagnostic thresholds here.
Where the data goes
Measurement is the input. Management is the product.
These four reads establish your baseline and drive every decision in your plan. What you choose is the level of management built on top of them: a Performance Advisor with Valence Performance, or an advisor and retained physician — with full quarterly diagnostics — in Valence Private.

Curious what your baseline looks like?
Both memberships begin by measuring it — then a named team manages what the numbers show.
