Frequently Asked Questions
There are many questions that one might have concerning health and wellness more broadly, and the unique nature of Evidentia invites questions of its own. Let us explore some of the most common ones together. Remember, if your answer is not here, please message me: I respect your time and will respond promptly.
FAQ
Can I purchase the Concierge Plans as a standalone?
Unfortunately, the integrated nature of my Evidentia system requires a foundation of personalized data in order to customize and adapt a given program. A condition-specific program, either through consultation or as a general template, is essential to delivering a complete, effective service. Without this foundational service, any attempt to deliver a truly efficacious program would be an informed and educated guess. By using the customized program as a foundation, the remaining health and wellness scaffolding will be well-supported and effective.
How does Evidentia work?
The process is far simpler than it may appear. Once you select your service and make payment, we have our initial consultation. This discussion helps me to design a program personalized specifically for you. Afterwards, you submit any laboratory panels that you feel comfortable sharing. These also help direct your personalized program. Finally, the end product is delivered to you according to the service you selected. Then you can opt to join one of our ongoing support memberships to continually fine-tune your program and insure you gain the most value. Also, if you select a service involving physical training instruction, you will receive a special invitation to join the Evidentia app where all of your exercise and fitness data is delivered in professional, polished format for ease of understanding and long-term tracking.
Who is Evidentia Health for?
Evidentia's services are designed for individuals with serious health and wellness needs, and/or fitness goals. Individuals with chronic diseases, fitness enthusiasts, biohackers, and those who demand an effective, personalized, and ongoing program are best served by the novel systems of Evidentia. Most often I find that my clients are those who are generally dissatisfied with their current healthcare services, and wish to expand into non-clinical, integrated options that can often excel where orthodox methods fail.
What makes Evidentia Health different from other wellness programs?
Evidentia Health's uniqueness shines at its highest tiers. There is no other program that utilizes such a vast, integrated approach, and none utilizes a system of adaptive phasing or modularity in program design. Phrased differently, there is no other service available that evolves to meet the changing health and lifestyle needs of individuals, nor does any other program offer such a plenitude of services, from laboratory and data-driven analysis, advanced dietary protocols, sweet lifestyle changes, complete exercise options, and an evidence-driven curation of nutritional compounds, all specialized to the needs of the individual and not given as generic templates or "stacks."
​
When you are my client, I work for you. Your interests, concerns, and questions become my own.
How personalized are your health and wellness plans?
The root of all plans lay in personalized precision. Using onboarding questionnaires, client feedback, and laboratory data (if provided), each plan is catered specifically to you. This insures the highest rate of success and the greatest positive effect. Any and all considerations, individuals, and chronic diseases are novel in their own ways: two people with metabolic disorder may have completely different mechanisms underlying their symptoms and the cause of those symptoms. The Evidentia approach, which uses advanced analysis to identify different classifications even within a disease or goal, allows for targeted approaches that are more fully refined for the individual.
​
It would not be possible to personalize the plans further. Where the vast bulk (if not all) other Health & Wellness providers apply a cookie-cutter template to any issue, my work begins first by getting to understand you, your symptomology, and other details all reinforced and guided through diagnostic and laboratory testing.
How do I know what service is right for me?
The primary difference in various services lay with the amount of support, feedback, and personalization. The most basic service is the purchase of a base program without individualization. The Concierge Health Support plan, the most economic of the services, provides ongoing support so that a basic level of personalization is made available, though limited. Conversely, the Evidentia Tier provides unrivaled personalization, ongoing adaptations and modifications, adaptive phasing of various components to avoid fatigue or a sense of being overwhelmed, comprehensive support of diet and exercise through an APP-based service, and pro-active program adjustments based on annual and biannual health reporting. It also includes consistent consultations, guaranteeing that no lifestyle or symptom change goes untended to.
How do I know if a Health & Wellness Protocol is right for me?
If you have chronic diseases, have tried repeatedly to improve your health to no avail, or fall under the "I have tried everything" category, then the Evidentia system is designed for you.
​
Similarly, if you are a serious athlete or have physically-demanding hobbies that you wish to continue as you age or in the light of injuries, then the Evidentia system is designed for you.
​
If you are like me, and are a devotee of health generally, and want to live as long and healthfully as possible so you can enjoy your children, and their children, and even their children, too, then Evidentia Health is perfect for you.
Are your protocols based on scientific research?
Scientific study and analysis forms the central spine of all Evidentia programs. Not trends, not fads, not the latest and greatest from television personalities and infomercials, but only those elements that have born their worth after rigorous examination. We then build upon this solid, evidence-based foundation to create the human portion: fitting your personal likes, dislikes, preferences, and so forth into every individualized program. This creates a harmonious blend of scientific, evidence-backed strategies reinforced with both humanity and practical experience.
​
How do I pay for services?
A secure payment can be processed via PayPal, Stripe, or whatever is preferred. For those who purchase a subscription-based service, payment is processed through Stripe using the Evidentia App. At no time will I store, see, or have access to your personal data.
​Can I cancel my subscription or membership at any time?
You can cancel your subscription at any time, but you will lose access to any resources and materials that are associated with that subscription.
Do you offer refunds?
No refunds are provided for services rendered.
Do I need to provide lab results or medical history?
While a customized program is entirely possible without a medical history or laboratory testing, the inclusion of this data greatly improves the effectiveness and customizability of a program. However, I understand that not everyone has access to testing, or want to invest in them, and in these cases we can still design programs based strictly on symptomology with surprising accuracy. For those who opt for ongoing support, omitting testing is more feasible since we have plenty of time to work together and modify programs specific to your needs.
​
Testing does provide another useful metric, however: improvement. Without tracking A1C, blood glucose levels, and other metrics, it is difficult to gauge the success of current strategies, where having these tests can help fine-tune what is working and also highlight what might need to be altered. Though I have no medical issues that involve diagnostic testing, I still track my sleep, heart rate variability, 02 Saturation, and blood pressure specifically so that I can monitor for changes (so far it's stellar!).
Is my data secure?
I use an encrypted e-mail service to safeguard correspondence and communication, but I do not store any data on a secured server at this time.
​
My use of any data you provide is done through an assigned alias, not your name. For example, if you are an Evidentia member and I put together your long-term biomarker tracker, it will be assigned to you by an alias using a letter followed by a number (i.e., "A1"). This helps protect your anonymity.
​
However, I would never encourage clients to submit any data that they felt was so sensitive that it needed secure, encrypted protection. That is not a service I provide.
​
I do not, and will not, ever provide your data to third parties.
Can I contact you for any questions?
Of course! Feel free to reach out via the Contact form here, or send an e-mail to EvidentiaHealth@proton.me
How do you communicate?
Services are delivered in a variety of formats with care taken to use a form most suitable for you. E-mail is the most common delivery system for pertinent services, such as programs, lab analyses, and biomarker tracking, but many of these can be delivered just as easily through the Evidentia App. Messaging is also available for all members of ongoing support services. Consultations are held remotely through call or video chat, depending on the preference and needs of the client.
What is included in a Health & Wellness Protocol?
A Health and Wellness Protocol is the bedrock of the Evidentia system. Every Protocol is fully customized and covers a vast array of variables, but can best be described within Evidentia's Five Pillar framework. Each program includes:
-Complete guide for laboratory and diagnostic testing, including client-side questionnaire to explore symptomology (ongoing support clients have the added benefit of me analyzing and applying their lab results to their program). This also includes a rubric for interpreting and understanding your results, provided you do not become a member.
-Complete Nutritional Guide: what diet to follow, how to alternate dietary styles to avoid stagnation and ensure nutrient density, and what to avoid specific to client's needs (further eased through the amenities of the Evidentia app: a meal planner, cookbook, and intake tracker). Unlike other programs, however, the Evidentia approach to diet includes more than just what to eat and not eat: it also highlights the importance of meal timing, both for intended modulations but also to insure optimal nutrient absorption from suggested Compound protocols.
​
-Integrated Lifestyle Guide: what changes can be utilized to optimize the positive effects of diet, exercise, and nutritional compounds. This section is devoted to non-nutraceutical options centered primarily around changes to daily habits. Often scoffed out, these seemingly-small steps provide massive dividends for the complete protocol.
​
-Exercise Guide: a complete how-to for exercise and general fitness. This is not a generic template, or one that structures arbitrary workouts meant to make you as sore as possible so you feel accomplished (it seldom does). Instead, the Exercise Guide includes only those movements with the greatest return-on-investment, and exclude any unnecessary training. Critically, it also provides guidance on how much exercise to actually do, another variable that can positively impact a specific goal, or harm it if executive incorrectly. It is also comprehensive, covering resistance training, Zone 2 cardio, and any number of other modalities that specifically aid your priorities.
​
-Comprehensive Nutritional Compounds: Evidentia uses a proprietary, 16-point ranking system that categorizes the most clinically-relevant compounds in terms of their mechanistic value. This means that low-effective compounds will not be suggested, only those with the greatest impact. Often times this means that clients take considerably less compounds than they had prior to beginning one of my programs.
​
-Complete Protocol: The vast information of the Health & Wellness Protocol is provided in a concise, easily-digestible protocol. Every component of the program--diet, exercise, lifestyle, compounds--is provided in an easy-to-use checklist divided by the time of day. This allows for effortless adherence and insures complete optimization of your valuable time by organizing actionable components in the most synergistic fashion. This includes eating certain meals earlier in the day or later, depending on purpose; taking compounds with other supplements and/or foods to magnify their effects and ensure proper absorption, and other such variables.
