Get Started
Here's how to begin your optimization journey.
How it works
From first contact to program launch
Initial Consultation
We'll discuss your health goals, current status, and whether the Foundation Program is a good fit. This is an opportunity to ask questions, understand the process, and determine if we're aligned on approach and expectations.
Duration: ~30 minutes • Format: Video call or phone
Testing Setup
You'll receive lab requisitions and scheduling instructions for comprehensive testing: bloodwork, DEXA scan, and Omega-3 Index. We'll guide you through the process and answer any questions about where and when to complete each test.
- Comprehensive bloodwork (lipids, metabolic markers, hormones, inflammation)
- DEXA scan (body composition, bone density)
- Omega-3 Index
Intake Questionnaire
Complete our comprehensive health and lifestyle assessment. This covers your health history, current habits, goals, preferences, and constraints. The more detail you provide, the better we can tailor your protocol to your unique situation.
Analysis & Report
Once all data is collected, we'll analyze your results and prepare your detailed 20-30 page report. This includes biomarker interpretation, system-by-system analysis, causal chain mapping, and your complete personalized protocol.
Timeline: ~1-2 weeks after testing completion
Program Launch
You'll receive your comprehensive report and we'll begin protocol implementation. Over the next 3 months, you'll have ongoing support, regular check-ins, and protocol adjustments as needed. At week 12, we'll retest and evaluate your progress.

Request ConsultationCommon questions
How long does it take to get started?
After your initial consultation, you can typically complete testing within 1-2 weeks. Your detailed report will be ready 1-2 weeks after all testing is complete. Total time from first contact to program launch is usually 3-4 weeks.
Where can I complete the testing?
Bloodwork can be completed at any LabCorp or Quest location (we provide requisitions). DEXA scans are available at medical imaging centers, universities with exercise science programs, or specialty body composition clinics. Humboldt area clients have access to discounted DEXA scans through Pivotal Connections. Omega-3 Index testing is a simple at-home finger prick kit.
What if I already have recent test results?
If you have bloodwork or DEXA results from the past 3-6 months, we can often use those to reduce your testing costs. Send us your results during the initial consultation and we'll determine what additional testing is needed.
Is this covered by insurance?
The program fee is not covered by insurance. However, some of the testing may be partially covered if you can have your medical provider requisition it and there is medical necessity.
Do you work with clients remotely?
Yes! The majority of our clients work with us remotely. All consultations and check-ins are conducted via video call or phone. You'll complete testing at labs and imaging centers in your local area.
What's the difference between this and seeing a doctor?
We complement, not replace, your primary care physician. While doctors focus on diagnosing and treating disease, we focus on optimization—pushing biomarkers from 'normal' to 'optimal' for enhanced healthspan and performance. For any medical concerns or prescription medications, you'll coordinate with your physician.
