How it works

From foggy
to functioning.

The full picture — exactly what happens from the moment you join to the moment you start feeling like yourself again. No vague promises. No fine print. Just a clear sequence of steps and the reasoning behind each one.

Step 1 of 6

Complete the Medical Symptom Questionnaire

The intake questionnaire is the first thing you do after joining. It's about 15 minutes and it's the most important 15 minutes of your experience — because everything downstream depends on how honestly you answer.

It's not a personality quiz. It's a structured symptom questionnaire based on real clinical intake forms — the same type used by functional wellness practitioners to identify patterns that standard medicine misses.

  • Questions cover energy, cognition, digestion, sleep, mood, and hormone markers
  • Branching logic — your answers determine the follow-up questions
  • Takes about 15 minutes if you answer honestly and completely
  • Results are instant — no waiting for a practitioner to review

How would you describe your energy levels when you wake up in the morning?
I feel fully rested and ready to go
I feel okay but take a while to get going
I feel tired regardless of how much I slept
I feel exhausted — like I didn't sleep at all

Step 2 of 6

Get matched to your protocol track

The moment you complete the intake, the system maps your symptom pattern to one of four protocol tracks. You don't pick your own track — the pattern in your answers does that. This isn't a vibe check. It's a clinical matching process.

The four tracks — Gut & Inflammation, Hormonal & Thyroid, Stress & Adrenal, and General Optimization — are built around the four most common root-cause patterns behind chronic fatigue and brain fog. Your intake answers reveal which one you're dealing with.

  • Instant results — no waiting for a human to review
  • You see which track you matched to and why
  • If your pattern is mixed, you're placed in General Optimization
  • You can retake the intake if your symptoms shift significantly

Step 3 of 6

Receive your personalized protocol

Once matched, you get immediate access to your full protocol. It's a complete plan — not a PDF of suggestions. Every recommendation is specific to your track and has a clinical rationale behind it.

Your protocol covers the four pillars that functional wellness addresses in every case: diet, sleep, movement, and supplementation. Each pillar is calibrated to your specific pattern — not generic wellness advice.

  • Dietary adjustments — what to remove, reduce, and add for your track
  • Sleep protocol targeting your specific disruption type
  • Movement recommendations designed for low-energy states
  • Supplement stack with specific dosing and timing

Work through the video curriculum

The protocol tells you what to do. The curriculum tells you why it works — and that matters more than you'd think. People who understand the mechanism behind a protocol are dramatically more likely to follow it.

Modules are short — 10 to 20 minutes each. Our clinical team walks through the science in plain language. No jargon. No padding. Each module focuses on one thing and explains it completely.

  • Self-paced — watch in any order, revisit anytime
  • 10–20 minute modules so they actually fit into your schedule
  • Covers the mechanism, the research, and the implementation
  • Track-specific content — you only see modules relevant to your protocol

Use the AI assistant when you hit a wall

Most programs leave you to figure out the hard parts alone. This one doesn't. The AI assistant is trained on your specific protocol and the research behind it — so when something isn't working or you have a question at 11pm, you get a real answer.

It's not a generic health chatbot that tells you to consult your doctor. It knows what track you're on, what you're implementing, and the reasoning behind every recommendation. It troubleshoots. It explains. It doesn't hedge.

  • Available 24/7 — no scheduling, no waiting, no office hours
  • Knows your specific track and protocol cold
  • Can explain the research behind any recommendation
  • Troubleshoots when something isn't working the way it should
HPL Wellness Assistant — Gut & Inflammation Track
I've been on the elimination phase for 10 days. Still getting afternoon crashes. Is that normal?
Yes — and it's actually a good sign for your track. The 10-14 day window often produces a temporary dip in energy as your gut microbiome adjusts. This is the die-off phase. It typically resolves by day 14-18 if you stay consistent. Are you taking the magnesium glycinate at night? That often accelerates the transition.
No I haven't started the supplements yet — do I need to?

Step 6 of 6

Opt into the accountability community

The community is optional. We mean that. You don't have to engage with it to get results — the protocol and the AI handle most of what you need. But for people who want it, the community is the difference between staying consistent and falling off.

It's organized by track, so conversations stay relevant to what you're actually working on. People on the gut/inflammation track talking to people on the gut/inflammation track — not a generic wellness forum full of advice that doesn't apply to your situation.

  • Organized by protocol track — conversations stay relevant
  • Weekly wins thread — small proof points add up fast
  • Ask questions, share observations, give and get accountability
  • Completely optional — use it when it helps, ignore it when it doesn't

A realistic timeline of what happens.

Not a best-case scenario. Not a guarantee. What most members actually experience when they follow their protocol consistently.

Day 1–3
Intake, matching, and protocol access
You complete the questionnaire, get matched to your track, and have immediate access to your full protocol and curriculum. The AI assistant is ready from day one.
Week 1–2
Implementation begins. May feel harder before it feels easier.
Depending on your track, the first two weeks involve elimination or lifestyle changes that create a temporary adjustment period. Energy may dip slightly — this is normal and expected. Most people who quit do so here. Most people who push through are glad they did.
Week 2–4
First noticeable shifts
This is typically when something changes — sleep quality improves, the afternoon crash becomes less severe, or morning fog lifts a bit earlier. The changes are incremental, not dramatic. But they're real and they compound.
Week 4–8
Protocol becomes habit. Results compound.
The protocol stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like normal. Energy patterns stabilize. Brain fog becomes the exception rather than the rule. This is the window where most people start describing meaningful changes to people around them.
Week 8–12
Deeper changes in the underlying pattern
Inflammation markers come down. Hormonal rhythms normalize. The things that were physiologically off start to correct. This is the work that took weeks to undo — it takes weeks to fix, but it fixes.

Things people ask before they start.

If something isn't covered here, the AI assistant will answer it once you're inside.

No — that's the point of the intake. You answer the questionnaire honestly and the matching process figures out which pattern fits. You don't need to arrive with a diagnosis or even a hypothesis.
Most people who come to this program have already tried generic wellness interventions — and got minimal results. The difference here is that the protocol is matched to your specific pattern, not generic advice. An anti-inflammatory diet for someone with adrenal dysfunction is the wrong protocol. Track matching matters.
Implementation — the diet, sleep, and lifestyle changes — is woven into your existing routine, not added on top. The curriculum takes about 30–45 minutes per week to stay current. The AI assistant responds when you ask. Community is opt-in. Most members spend about an hour per week actively engaging with the program beyond the protocol itself.
You can retake the intake questionnaire at any time. If your pattern has shifted significantly, the system will re-match you to the appropriate track. This is built into the program — symptoms evolve and the protocol should too.
No. Human Performance Labs is an educational program, not a healthcare service. It is not covered by insurance and we do not bill insurance companies. The subscription cost is the total cost — no hidden fees.
