  1. Energy that lasts past lunch.

    Tired all the time and no one knows why? We test, we don’t guess, and get to the root cause of your health issues.

  2. Waking up rested.

    Can't drop off, wide awake at 3am, or waking up exhausted. We find what's keeping you from real rest.

  3. Moving without the aches.

    Stiff, achy and heavy for no clear reason. We find what's driving the inflammation.

  4. Feeling better than you have in years.

    Your plan builds the foundation. The membership takes it further, with deeper detox work and ongoing coaching.

The seven systems

Find your symptoms. Notice where they land.

Most people find themselves in three or four of these. Tap a system to see what it's connected to.

Sound familiar?

Plenty of appointments. Still no answers.

One specialist per symptom, a prescription for each, and nobody looking at the whole picture.

They said it’s just stress, or just your age.

The energy you remember may still be there, underneath something nobody has looked for yet.

Another specialist, another prescription.

Each one looked at their own piece. Nobody put the pieces together.

As tired when you wake up as when you go to bed.

Low energy usually has a cause, and it’s often somewhere nobody has checked yet.

Fewer and fewer safe foods.

Every meal still feels like a gamble. The cause often sits somewhere other than your stomach.

One prescription becomes three.

More of the same rarely changes much. We look for what’s driving it, alongside your physician.

You’ve tried everything.

Usually that means everything was tried one piece at a time. Here it all gets looked at together.

The difference

Two ways this can go.

The usual route

Where most people are now

  • A panel that checks for disease
  • One symptom, one specialist
  • A prescription for each complaint
  • “Come back in six months”
  • Your prescriptions keep stacking up
  • Nobody is looking at the whole picture
  • You learn to live with it
Our approach

Root cause

Where we take it

  • Testing that looks past one or two markers
  • Your gut, liver, adrenals, thyroid, nutrients, stress and sleep read as one system
  • A plan built for your body, not a protocol
  • Four months of coaching, with someone who knows your story
  • A plan that’s easy to manage, adjusted as you go
  • The same support every time, from people who know you
  • You work toward feeling better, not just coping
How we work

Three steps to the root of it.

Every plan starts from your results, your history and how you actually live.

  1. 01

    Test properly.

    Labs that go past the standard panel, because “within range” and “working well” are not the same thing.

  2. 02

    Find the pattern.

    With all seven systems on the table at once, the thing driving the rest becomes obvious, and it’s rarely where the loudest symptom is.

  3. 03

    Build the plan.

    Custom supplements, a curriculum you actually follow, and 1:1 coaching for four months, for your history and your physiology. Not a protocol with your name on it.

A note from Anthony

It started with my son.

When my son was small, he had severe eczema and constant digestive trouble, and what we were being offered wasn’t helping.

So I went looking further than I’d been trained to. I finished my functional medicine training in 2009, and I watched my son’s health turn around completely.

That’s still why I do this. Eighteen years on, a lot of the families I work with bring me their kids, their parents, and then the next generation.

How it works

Real change takes time. Here’s how it works.

We’ll say this plainly, because most people won’t: four months will not fix everything.

What it will do is build a foundation, and you’ll feel considerably better than you would have felt doing nothing at all.

  1. A free call

    Fifteen minutes. We listen to the whole history, not the last symptom. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you on the call.

  2. Testing and your plan

    Labs that go past the standard panel, then a plan built for your body: custom supplements, your curriculum, and the reasoning behind all of it.

  3. Four months, together

    1:1 coaching the whole way through. This is where the foundation gets built, and where most people start noticing the difference.

  4. Beyond the four months

    For those who want to keep going, our membership picks up where the foundation ends: heavy metals, parasites, and the nutritional deficiencies that take longer than four months to put right.

Is it right for you?

Who this is for.

This is for you if

  • You know something’s off, even if no one’s found it yet
  • You’d rather understand the cause than manage the symptom
  • You’re willing to test, and willing to follow a plan
  • You’d rather get ahead of it now than deal with it later

It isn’t for

  • Anyone looking for a quick fix or a single supplement
  • Anyone who wants the plan without doing the work
  • Anyone needing urgent or emergency care. Please see a physician
“This is definitely a life-changing program that requires consistency and accountability. You do have to have a determined mindset.”

Questions

What people ask us first.

How soon will I feel different?

It varies. Some patients notice a shift in the first few weeks; for others it takes a couple of months. Karen’s energy changed in about three weeks. Tracy’s headaches took six. Either way, we stay with you the whole time. If something isn’t shifting, or the plan feels like too much, we adjust it with you until it suits you and you’re starting to feel the difference.

Will this fix everything?

No, and be careful of anyone who says otherwise. Four months builds a strong foundation. Some of what we work on built up quietly over many years, and that takes a little longer to fully settle. You should expect to feel substantially better, and our membership is there for anyone who wants to keep going.

Does insurance cover this?

No. Our patients invest in the program directly, and we’ll walk you through everything on your free call so there are no surprises and you can decide in your own time.

Is this instead of my doctor?

No. We work alongside your physician, not in place of them. Any decision about medication stays between you and them.

What if I’ve already tried everything?

Then you’re exactly who we work with. Jo had seen one specialist after another. Tracy had tried three medications and Botox. Jill had spent forty years working as a nurse. Having tried everything usually means everything was tried one piece at a time. Here, for the first time, it all gets looked at together.

Can I do everything from home?

Yes. Your free call is by phone, and your testing, plan and 1:1 coaching all happen from home, wherever you are in New York or South Carolina.

What tests are involved?

That depends on what we’re looking for. We’ll explain exactly what’s being run, and why, before anything is ordered.

So, where do you see yourself in three years?

If the honest answer bothers you, that’s worth a 15-minute chat.
