The process

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Book your lab test

    Choose a panel and complete a brief health intake form. We'll help coordinate your lab appointment at a nearby partner clinic.

  2. Step 02

    Get your results interpreted

    We'll analyze your results using functional optimal ranges instead of conventional reference ranges that catch problems but miss the early warning signs.

  3. Step 03

    Follow your wellness plan

    Receive a personalized wellness plan with actionable steps across nutrition, movement, supplements, and stress management, built around your goals.
