Select Your Matrix Level
Tier 1 Package
PHYSICAL: Health → Data → Energy
🔬 Your biological baseline — Objective data on what's actually happening inside your body. No assumptions, no guesswork — this is your true starting point.
What we'll discover:
- What does your metabolic health actually look like — beyond basic cholesterol?
- Are you absorbing the nutrients you're eating?
- How are your liver, kidneys, and thyroid functioning?
- What's your real body composition — actual fat, muscle, and bone density?
- What is your blood revealing that a typical annual physical misses?
- Do you have a clear baseline to measure future progress against?
Testing included:
- Comprehensive foundational blood panel (80+ biomarkers via Quest Labs)*
- Metabolic health & advanced lipid analysis
- Vitamins, minerals & electrolyte status
- Liver, kidney & thyroid function
- Preventive markers not typically ordered by your PCP
- DEXA body composition scan (fat/muscle %, bone density, symmetry)*
*Scheduled at the facility most convenient to your location
What you get:
- Written analysis & interpretation of all results
- 45-minute consultation for discussion and Q&A
- Actionable recommendations based on YOUR data
- Clear baseline metrics to measure progress
- Copy of all lab results for your records
- Optional add-ons available (microbiome, nutritional analysis, toxins, and more)
💰 Why this is a great deal → The blood tests alone would cost over $1100 on the Quest direct site!
Tier 2 Package
MIND: Focus ➡ Strategy ➡ Energy
🧭 Your strategic clarity session — We take a comprehensive look at your patterns, values, and roadblocks to establish a clear starting point. ✨This is where intentional optimization begins... the foundation for deeper work ahead.
What we'll uncover:
- Why do some healthy habits stick for you and others don't?
- What's actually motivating you (not what you think should motivate you)?
- What patterns keep showing up in your life?
- What are your non-negotiables and real constraints?
- How do you naturally process stress, decisions, and change?
- What does success actually look like for YOU — not someone else's definition?
Tools we may use:
- Cognitive style assessment (how you process information & make decisions)
- Values clarification exercise
- Goals & constraints mapping
- Habits inventory & analysis
- Motivation profile (what drives you vs. what drains you)
- Roadblock identification (patterns that keep you stuck)

- Stress response profile
What you get:
- 90-minute strategic design consultation
