The 14-Step System for Transforming Long-Term Health (V 1.30)
"And then one day you find, Ten years have got behind you, No one told you when to run, You missed the starting gun"
- Pink Floyd, Time
Introduction
Traditional Western medicine focuses on finding and treating disease. But health is far more than the absence of disease.
Health optimization is the systematic, measurable process of improving your body composition, metabolic function, cardiovascular capacity, hormone levels, and long-term resilience-by not just treating disease, but building the highest level of health your biology can support.
At the Foundation, our focus is health optimization and longevity-defining health, preventing disease, treating existing medical problems, and improving your long-term health span via these 14 steps below, as well as the health information provided on our website at the link above.
Health Optimization is a data-driven medical framework grounded in physiology and outcomes, distinct from "wellness" or "functional" health programs that lack rigorous measurement and accountability and are often coupled to the sale of supplements or other products.
As a nonprofit organization, the Foundation does not sell products of any kind.
It is never too late to start. Earlier is better, but now is your starting gun. You have not missed your chance.
Our Mission
Health is NOT just the absence of disease.
The Foundation's mission is to educate, advance health optimization, gather clinical medical data for health research and to financially support other medical research focused on optimum health and longevity.
We have no salaried employees. All who work with us donate their time. 99% of donations go toward men's health research and advocacy. Less than 1% of donations go toward operational expenses.

Collaboration
Our Philosophy
We believe that health is not just defined by the absence of disease and in a comprehensive approach to medicine defined by:
A partnership between patient and physician.
The treatment of physical and mental issues, disease prevention, optimum health, and longevity through:
Medical testing, including VO2Max, RMR, DEXAscan, medication, nonprescription supplements that have good science to support their use, beneficial behaviors and a written, regularly reviewed health plan developed by the patient and physician.
