Metabolic Archetypes™

Metabolic Archetypes™ represent the unique epigenetic input an individual requires to properly regulate metabolism based on their genetic blueprint.
Metabolism itself is the dynamic balance of nutrient utilization, physical activity, and biological processes, optimized through proper environmental inputs. This balance—scientifically termed metabolic homeostasis—is influenced by key epigenetic regulators, including sleep, hormones, and movement.
Metabolic Archetypes™ define a significant portion of an individual’s epigenetic needs, ensuring the right fuel and training strategies for their genetic disposition.
Beyond metabolism, other epigenetic modulators—such as circadian rhythms, thermal exposure, hypoxia, xenohormetic compounds, and psychological stressors—further shape biological resilience. All these factors operate under the principle of hormesis, where the right dose determines whether a stimulus strengthens or degrades biological fitness. This is the Hormetic Code™
We are about empowering men and women age 30 to 65 to attain the "Evolutionary Vitality They Are Meant To Have". That means absent of chronic disease, metabolically healthy and fit - in other words "Biologically Fit"
Only 12% of Americans are “Metabolically Healthy”.
Work with us to "Pre-Hab" your Biological Fitness and regain it if lifestyle has already taken it's tole.

Our Clients Say
“I got so much out of my time with Brad and Hormesis. I had read a lot of books, tried lots of different things for working out and really never stuck to anything. This is the closest thing you can get to a “silver bullet.” Working with Brad helped me understand some things - things I didn’t know that I didn’t know. I am now finally able to stick to an exercise program that works for me and an approach to my diet that also works. I am seeing the results that I wanted and couldn’t be more grateful. ”

“Humankind may be suffering from an intelligence driven health paradox, as intelligence has enabled us to remove the very hormetic factors that have been responsible for ensuring our biological fitness.”

Do you experience any of these symptoms?
They are the first 4 (of 7) stages of Insulin Resistance Progression and are preventable and resolvable with a metabolic health approach.
1. Healthy with Early Symptoms
• Fatigue after meals, mild weightgain, especially abdominal fat.
• Subtle brain fog or difficulty concentrating.
2. Early Stages of Insulin Resistance
• Increased hunger and carbohydrate cravings.
• Difficulty losing weight, even with dietary adjustments.
• Mild elevations in fasting glucose (~90–100 mg/dL).
• Skin changes (acanthosisnigricans, skin tags).
3. Intermediate Insulin Resistance
• Persistent fatigue, especially post-meal.
• Visible weight gain around the abdomen.
• Elevated blood pressure
(pre-hypertension).
• Worsening dyslipidemia (high triglycerides, reduced HDL).
4. Pre-Diabetes
• Fatigue becomes more pronounced.
• Blood pressure elevated
(~130/80 mmHg).
Medicalization: Sociologists use the term “medicalization” to describe the process by which normal or lifestyle-related conditions are redefined as medical problems requiring pharmaceutical or clinical intervention. Over time, this shifts public perception to view medications as a routine solution.
“Life developed in a stressful environment and evolved the necessary mechanisms to utilize these “stresses” to optimize function and at the same time minimize thier detrimental effects.”

People make lifestyle changes, including those aimed at losing weight, for a variety of reasons. The motivations behind these changes can generally be grouped into two main categories: appearance-related (e.g., wanting to look good) and health-related (e.g., wanting to improve physical well-being). Below is a breakdown of these motivations, their degrees of impact, and the differences in focus:
- Health-related weight loss tends to promote more sustainable, long-term lifestyle changes. Appearance-driven motivations can sometimes lead to yo-yo dieting or unsustainable habits due to a short-term focus. -
