Who We Serve

Precision tools for the people who demand them.

Elite Athletics

Know who's ready before the whistle blows.

Objective readiness indices — fatigue, inflammation, recovery — so coaching decisions run on biology, not instinct.

Precision Wellness

The deepest longevity panel your clinic can offer.

Energy systems, oxidative stress, micronutrient gaps — a molecular snapshot that standard bloodwork can't provide.

Translational Science

Standardized metabolomics for reproducible research.

CLIA-aligned outputs, standardized data structures, and multi-site reproducibility built for clinical trials and academic studies.

How It Works

From sample to insight in one week.

01

Sample Acquisition

We coordinate collection through your existing lab partner. No build-out required — kits ship to you, samples ship to us.

02

LC/MS Analysis

3,000+ metabolites captured and quantified by our validated liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry pipeline. Results in 5–7 business days.

03

Actionable Report

A structured report with performance indices, flagged outliers, trend lines, and plain-language summaries. PDF + structured data file.

What You Get

Numbers you can act on. Reports your team will actually use.

3,000+molecular markers

Energy metabolism, lipids, amino acids, oxidative stress, micronutrients — the broadest metabolomic coverage available.

90%+readiness classification accuracy

Validated against training-load and recovery benchmarks. Our performance indices correctly classify readiness at >90% sensitivity.

CLIAaligned laboratory protocol

Outputs suitable for clinical documentation and translational research pipelines.

Every report includes:

  • Composite Performance Readiness Index (PRI)
  • Individual metabolite concentrations with reference ranges
  • Fatigue and recovery trajectory vs. baseline
  • Plain-language clinical summary
  • Structured CSV/JSON export for analytics

The Science

LC/MS metabolomics. The gold standard, deployed.

Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry identifies and quantifies thousands of small molecules from a single sample with reproducibility that holds across time points and sites. Our automated pipeline handles normalization, batch-correction, and quality control — so you receive clean, interpretable data.

Untargeted Discovery

Full metabolome sweep — every measurable metabolite without pre-specified targets. Ideal for longitudinal monitoring and novel biomarker discovery.

Targeted Quantification

Absolute concentrations against validated reference standards. Clinically reportable numbers with defined normal ranges.

Performance Readiness Index

Our proprietary composite score — recovery, inflammation, and energy markers distilled into a single number per athlete per time point.

Standard panels measure 20–40 analytes. Our LC/MS platform captures 3,000+ small molecules — amino acids, organic acids, lipids, oxidative stress markers, and performance indices — providing pre-clinical signals that don't appear on any standard lab menu.

No build-out required. We coordinate with your existing healthcare provider or sports medicine staff. Kits ship to you; samples ship to us. Your side is just the blood draw.

5–7 business days from sample receipt. Expedited 3–4 day turnaround is available for established clients on select assays. We never release data before it passes QC.

Typically 10–30 samples from your roster or cohort, run against our full panel. You receive individual reports plus an aggregate summary, then review the data with us on a 45-minute call — no obligation to continue.

No. Every report includes a plain-language summary, flagged outliers with context, and a composite Performance Readiness Index. The raw data file is included if your scientists want to go deeper.

Data is de-identified or pseudonymized at intake. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Clinical clients receive a BAA; research clients receive fully de-identified datasets by default.

Pricing depends on panel selection, sample volume, and reporting requirements. We'll walk you through a quote on the intro call. Pilots run without a long-term contract.

Reports deliver as PDF and structured CSV/JSON. We're building integrations with common sports science platforms. For custom pipelines, talk to us — Joey's team handles it case by case.
