For years, we watched people walk out of their doctor's office with clean labs — still exhausted, still foggy, still without answers. The knowledge to help them existed. We decided to share it.
For years, patients walked into Dr. Hanes' clinic describing the same experience. Exhaustion that sleep didn't touch. Brain fog that made work feel impossible. A body operating at half capacity. They'd had bloodwork done. Everything came back normal. Their doctor had no next step.
Functional wellness looks at those same labs differently — through an optimal range lens, not a disease threshold lens. When you ask the right questions and look at the right markers, the patterns become clear quickly. Most of these people weren't sick. They were being compared to a sick population's reference range.
Dr. Hanes began running small-group education sessions with clinic patients — structured around the specific patterns he kept seeing. The results were consistent: energy improvements in weeks, brain fog lifting, people feeling like themselves for the first time in years. The protocols worked.
The problem was access. The people who needed this the most couldn't make it to a clinic in central Oregon. Human Performance Labs is the answer to that problem. Meet the team behind it →
Standard labs are calibrated to catch disease. They're not designed to optimize function. That's the entire gap.
Your TSH comes back at 3.8. "Normal" by standard reference range. But functional wellness research suggests optimal thyroid function tracks closer to 1.5–2.0. Those two numbers look identical on a lab report. They don't feel the same in your body.
Conventional medicine specializes by organ system. Fatigue goes to endocrinology. Gut issues go to gastroenterology. But thyroid function, gut health, adrenal response, and hormonal balance are deeply interconnected. The root cause of your fatigue might be showing up in a system nobody checked.
Most people who receive a protocol without an explanation don't follow through. Understanding why a recommendation works — the mechanism behind it — is what separates people who get results from people who cycle through supplements indefinitely.
Most people who feel chronically unwell aren't sick. They're running at 40% of what they're capable of — and nobody has ever explained why. That's what we built this to change.
