Your first step is a $50.00 consult: a 45–75 minute phone call built for depth, not a rushed screening. This is unhurried time to understand what brought you to Archetype, where you want to go, and whether we are the right partner for your health. No pressure, just clarity, and a conversation that actually listens.
We review when your symptoms started, how they have evolved, and how they connect across systems, energy, hormones, gut, sleep, mood, and performance, so isolated complaints become a coherent clinical story. You will also have dedicated time to submit prior laboratory work (and records where helpful), so we can see what has already been checked, what it showed, and what may still be missing before your comprehensive workup.
After your discovery call, we prepare a clinical report that captures your timeline, how your symptoms connect, gaps in prior testing, and the lab strategy we recommend. That report is the blueprint for your workup.
Your comprehensive labs are then selected for you, pending that report and your goals: hormones, metabolic markers, inflammation, micronutrients, and functional testing such as GI MAP where indicated. Every panel is chosen to be suitable for your case, not a generic package, so you invest in data that actually moves your care forward.
Once your laboratory results are in and reviewed together with your clinical report and personal goals, we design your personalized protocol. Every recommendation is anchored to your data and what you want to achieve, not an off-the-shelf template.
Your plan may include dedicated nutraceutical support, peptide therapies, hormone optimization where appropriate, and a coaching framework built around your life. Therapies are selected and phased pending the culmination of your lab work and your stated priorities, so the protocol reflects your biology and your goals in equal measure.
Care does not stop when your protocol starts. You receive weekly follow-ups to review how you are responding, troubleshoot friction, and keep therapies aligned with real life, not just the plan on paper.
We repeat pertinent labs at intervals that match your protocol, titrate nutraceuticals and hormone support as indicated, and when peptide therapies are part of your plan, guide stepwise dose titrations based on tolerance, response, and your labs. We dedicate time to goal reflection and goal setting so your targets stay honest as your body and priorities change. Realignment is ongoing: your data, your experience, and your ambitions stay in sync.
Every interaction at Archetype is built around three commitments. Treatment without understanding doesn’t last. Understanding without a plan doesn’t produce change. Our work is to deliver all three, so you walk away not just feeling better, but better equipped to own your health for the long haul.
You will understand your biology, your labs, your hormones, your gut, and your metabolism, in language that respects your intelligence. Every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it, because informed clients make better decisions about their health.
Education at Archetype is grounded in more than 18 years of frontline clinical experience, including acute care in hepatology and gastroenterology at Stanford Healthcare, combined with advanced functional medicine training. That background means our provider can help you navigate complex medical information, prior diagnoses, conflicting advice, and dense lab data, and translate it into a clear picture of what is happening in your body and why it matters.
Knowledge becomes a plan. We build the structure around you, protocols, labs, nutrition, training, supplementation, and the lifestyle systems that make it work, so you’re ready to execute with clarity and confidence.
Preparation is informed by real-world leadership at scale. As Clinical Director of a leading men’s concierge clinic, our provider built and managed individualized protocols for hundreds of patients working to improve their energy, hormones, body composition, and quality of life. That experience shapes how Archetype designs your plan: structured enough to follow, flexible enough to adapt, and built on what consistently produces results across diverse patients and goals.
The end goal isn’t dependence on a clinician. It’s a client who understands their body, owns their trajectory, and has the tools to make sharp decisions about their health, today, in ten years, and in thirty.
Empowerment comes through ongoing clinical oversight and performance analysis, tracking labs, symptoms, body composition, recovery, and how you actually feel and function day to day. Over time, you learn to read your own signals, recognize what moves the needle, and adjust with confidence. The aim is lasting self-sufficiency: someone who doesn’t just follow a protocol, but understands it deeply enough to steward their health for the long haul.
Conventional medicine excels at acute care, trauma, infection, surgery. Where it falls short is the slow, complex, multi-system decline that defines so many people’s experience of getting older: low energy, weight that won’t move, sleep that doesn’t restore, libido and drive that fade, mood that flattens.
Functional medicine treats those signals as data. Instead of suppressing each one with a separate prescription, we trace them back to the systems that produced them, gut, hormones, mitochondria, inflammation, stress, and rebuild the foundation from there.
Fatigue isn’t a diagnosis. Neither is brain fog or stubborn weight. We treat these as symptoms of upstream dysfunction, hormonal, metabolic, gut-related, or otherwise, and address the cause.
Your gut talks to your hormones. Your hormones talk to your brain. Your brain talks to your immune system. Nothing in physiology happens in isolation, and neither does any protocol we design.
“Within range” on a lab report often means a population average that includes a lot of unwell people. We design protocols toward functional, performance-grade targets, where men actually feel and operate at their best.
Every recommendation is anchored to objective data, labs, symptoms, biomarkers, performance metrics, and adjusted as that data evolves. No guessing. No off-the-shelf templates.
The best peptide protocol can’t outwork a broken sleep schedule or a stress-soaked life. Coaching on nutrition, training, sleep, and recovery isn’t an add-on, it’s the bedrock.
Concierge means access, ownership, and a real relationship with your clinician. You will understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it’s working, throughout.
Archetype is for men and women who have decided that good is no longer enough, individuals who want to understand their biology, take ownership of it, and operate at the top of their range, physically and mentally, for as long as possible.
If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you know something isn’t right, you’re who we built this for. If you’re already performing at a high level and want to compress more capacity into the years ahead, you’re who we built this for.
If you’re looking for a quick fix, a shortcut, or someone to hand you a prescription without doing the work, we’re likely not the right fit, and that’s okay.
Note: Hormone optimization and testosterone replacement protocols are currently offered for men only. All other Archetype services, functional medicine, peptide therapy, GI MAP testing, and 1:1 health coaching, are available to both men and women.
