HPL started with a pattern: people dealing with fatigue, brain fog, low energy, and poor recovery who had been told nothing obvious showed up — but still had no clear path forward. We built HPL to organize that education into a structured, accessible program.
The educational framework to make sense of these patterns existed. Functional wellness research, clinical frameworks, educational sequences — the knowledge was there. But access to it was limited by geography, clinic capacity, and the reality that one-on-one practice reaches a finite number of people.
HPL was built to change that. To take the educational framework that had been developed and applied over years of clinical practice — and turn it into a structured digital program that anyone could access: intake, track matching, video curriculum, AI assistant, and an accountability community built around each track.
Cole built HPL after watching people close to him cycle through the same experience — dismissed at appointments, told things looked fine, left without a real explanation or a clear next step. He had access to someone with a clearer framework, and a clear sense of what a well-built digital program could do. So he built it.
He handles the product, platform, and operations side of HPL — everything from the course architecture and member flow to the website, GHL systems, launch operations, and content buildout. His role is making the educational content structured, accessible, and useful as a digital program.
Dr. Hanes has spent more than 20 years working with patients at his functional wellness clinic in Prineville, Oregon. Over that time, he saw the same pattern emerge consistently — chronic fatigue, brain fog, hormonal disruption, cases where the standard path often did not give people a clear next step.
His role in HPL is as a clinical content advisor. He reviewed and helped develop the educational frameworks behind each educational track — ensuring the content reflects current functional wellness research, is clinically grounded, and is appropriate for an educational program. He is IFM-Certified and holds Bredesen ReCODE Protocol certification, both of which directly inform the curriculum.
Clinical experience alone doesn't scale. A 20-year practice reaches hundreds of people. A structured digital program can reach anyone with a browser — but only if what's behind it is real.
HPL is built on the combination: clinical experience that had already shaped the educational framework, and a platform built to make that education accessible, structured, and actionable. Neither works without the other. That's why the two roles exist, and why both matter to how this program is built.
Human Performance Labs is an educational coaching program — not a medical practice, not a clinical service, and not a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare provider. Dr. Coby Hanes serves as an educational content advisor. His credentials establish the credibility of the educational content. They do not establish a practitioner-patient relationship with program members. Cole Hanes is the co-founder and operator of Human Performance Labs. Nothing in this program — including the intake questionnaire, curriculum, AI assistant, or any team member communication — constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Individual results vary. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your health regimen.
Start with the intake, review your recommended starting track, and choose the access path that fits where you are now.
