Discover Fresh Start Testing’s Thema 03 – VMA Fitness Test
Many people experience persistent fatigue, soreness, or difficulty building strength—without realizing these symptoms may be connected to how their body is processing key nutrients. The Thema 03 – VMA Fitness test from Fresh Start Testing analyzes metabolic stress related to vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other performance-related compounds. Your results can help uncover where your system may be under strain—offering insight into what’s holding you back from feeling stronger, more energized, and resilient.
What Does the Fresh Start Thema 03 VMA Fitness Test Analyze?
This non-invasive fitness nutrient test uses hair analysis to assess metabolic stress and compatibility across:
Vitamins and Fatty Acids – including B-complex, C, D, E, and omega nutrients involved in metabolic resilience and antioxidant defence
Minerals – such as magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, selenium, and others that support hydration, muscle contraction, and cellular activity
Amino Acids – including glutamine, arginine, leucine, carnitine, and more, commonly associated with energy production, tissue repair, and performance
Metabolites – including acetyl CoA, adrenaline, cortisol, glucagon, testosterone, and other compounds related to energy regulation, stress response, and metabolic performance
Krebs Cycle Sugars – analyzed in three phases: rest, peak power, and prolonged effort, offering insight into energy metabolism and performance capacity.
The test also reports on nutrient ratio indicators—such as omega 3/6 balance and amino acid-to-vitamin relationships—that may affect how well your body utilizes what it takes in.
Why Does It Matter?
Your physical performance and recovery ability are closely tied to how your body interacts with key nutrients. When underlying stress goes unnoticed, even a great wellness routine might fall short.
The Fresh Start Thema 03 VMA Fitness test can help explain:
Sluggishness during or after workouts
Lingering inflammation or soreness
Poor recovery or delayed muscle response
Difficulty sustaining energy or making strength gains
This non-invasive test helps you better understand how your body is coping with nutrient demands and metabolic stress.
Who Is This Test Ideal For?
Active adults and athletes working to enhance strength, stamina, or post-workout recovery
Those dealing with fatigue or soreness despite clean eating and good habits
Clients interested in a non-invasive wellness test to personalize their supplement strategy
Midlife women navigating shifts in metabolism, inflammation, or strength
Barb Brennan can help walk you through your results and recommend natural strategies—whether that means refining your supplement routine, supporting nutrient absorption, or building a stronger recovery plan.
What Makes the Fresh Start Test Different?
Unlike conventional lab panels, the Fresh Start Thema 03 VMA Fitness test does not provide blood-based nutrient values. Instead, it uses a non-invasive method to help identify areas of metabolic stress that may be affecting your energy, performance, or recovery.
It’s a proactive tool for those looking to better understand their fitness-related nutrient needs.
