Success stories
Every plan starts with your own testing and is guided by a physician: precision medicine built for you. Our patients tell us their Core and Comprehensive workups were worth every penny. It's never too early or too late to invest in your healthspan, and watching patients return with their health trajectory changed is our why. We hope their stories inspire you as much as they inspire us.
Core plan
48, perimenopause on a GLP-1
Perimenopause changed the rules. She had yo-yoed on and off a GLP-1, on a high dose with no real plan, losing muscle and gaining visceral fat, the fat linked to a higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and dementia. Muscle is the body's metabolic engine, and hers was shrinking while the dose kept climbing.
Her DEXA scan showed what the scale could not: where she was losing muscle and carrying visceral fat. Her VO2 max test determined her exact fat-burning zones, where her body burned fat most efficiently, so she could train smarter, not harder. Then the numbers turned: 18 pounds of fat gone, about 2.5 pounds of muscle gained, visceral fat cut by more than a quarter, body fat from 48 to 44 percent, while staying on her GLP-1. Today she is back on a low dose, losing body fat and not just preserving muscle but gaining it. A life of strength instead of frailty. That is playing the long game.
Comprehensive + Infinity member
45, low testosterone
At 45, he came in fatigued, carrying belly fat, and struggling with intimacy with his wife. He wanted to be a better husband and father, with energy for his family and his work. His testosterone told the story: total T at 263, free T at 43, both low. He moved the lifestyle levers - no medication - giving his body what it needed: nutrition, exercise, and sleep. He resisted the urge to inject what his buddy was injecting. Testosterone therapy can signal the body to make less of its own; his got the signals to make more. His labs tracked the response: total testosterone climbing to 501, then 593, free testosterone to 88, then 101. That is playing the long game.
Core plan
66, osteoporosis
At 66, she was living with osteoporosis. She had watched her mother break a hip and decline painfully in a nursing home, and she did not want the same fate. She wanted to stay active and keep up with her grandkids. So she rebuilt, lifting weights for the first time in her life. Her DEXA scans showed it working: about 3 pounds of new muscle over two years, bone density held steady. Her VO2 max climbed from 29.2 to 33. Now she has brought her 40-year-old daughter in to get tested too, so her mother's fate does not have to become the next generation's. That is playing the long game.
Comprehensive plan
38, triathlete with high Lp(a)
By every traditional measure he was healthy, and that is how he fell through the cracks. At 38, testing found what routine checkups had missed: his Lp(a) was high, and a coronary calcium scan came back positive. With two young kids, he knows what is at stake. Those signals became a plan: optimize the lipids that can be moved, ApoB chief among them, and watch the calcium score over time. Just as important: build muscle, decrease visceral fat, which contributes to the risk of cardiovascular disease, and keep his VO2 max at the high level he has built. The goal is to stop plaque progression and lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. The finding brought him to a cardiologist now, so he can address the risk proactively. Testing uncovered a risk his fitness alone could not reveal and changed the course of his care. For him, being proactive means more than improving numbers. It means doing what he can now to be there for his wife and children in the years ahead. That is playing the long game.
Comprehensive plan
Surgeon, APOE4/4 dementia-risk gene carrier
She is a doctor at the top of her game, and she carries two copies of APOE4, the strongest common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's. She cannot change her genetic risk for dementia, but she can act on the risk factors within her control. The 2024 Lancet Commission estimates nearly half of dementia cases worldwide could be prevented or delayed by addressing modifiable risk factors. So that is where her plan lives: build muscle, cut visceral fat, raise her VO2 max. Her plan also includes hormone replacement therapy. And she is not starting from zero: her muscle mass already ranks in the top quarter, her visceral fat is nearly undetectable, and her LDL sits below 60. Her best shot, one input at a time. That is playing the long game.
All five stories are based on real patients. Identifying details have been changed, and photos show models, not the actual patients.
An add-on to a health care model that waits for things to break. We believe in proactive prevention.
The current system sits and waits. We are both physicians, and we saw that the proactive part, the testing that finds problems early, is completely missing.
No sales rabbit holes
Countless sales rabbit holes.
This isn't it. This is a
relationship of trust.
We don't sell
supplements
There's a reason. It is a conflict
of interest, and your care
should not depend on what we
can sell you.
A service you may not
know you need
Most people don't know they
absolutely need it. Core testing,
once a year.
