When fatigue, digestion, hormones, recovery, or body composition refuse to move, another isolated protocol is rarely the answer. Aegis looks at the full pattern, identifies what may be limiting progress, and builds the next step around your actual response.
Most of our Health Optimization clients arrive with a history of protocols: an elimination diet, a supplement stack, a training program, a macro prescription, sometimes a medication. Each addressed one thing. None started by understanding the person.
When the body isn’t responding, the reflex is to add intervention. Remove more foods. Add more supplements. Train harder. The Aegis position is the opposite: understand first, and add nothing until there’s a reason for it.
Normal, in a lab report, means you aren’t being flagged. It doesn’t mean your body is working well. We read results against how you feel, what has changed, and what the rest of the picture is telling us.
The intake is detailed because the body is. This is what your coach looks at before a single recommendation is made.
Medical history, medications, supplements, previous coaching, previous protocols, and what each one did or didn’t change.
Diet history, tolerance, food preferences, digestion, and what has already been removed, often unnecessarily.
The recovery mechanisms the body already depends on, and whether anything is being asked to replace them.
Labs read in context, alongside energy, symptoms, and response to training. Range is a floor, not a goal.
Address the foundation before adding unnecessary intervention.
A detailed onboarding survey and a first call with your coach. Bring your labs, your history, and everything you’ve already tried.
Nutrition, sleep, stress, and digestion addressed before anything is added. Often this means putting foods back, not taking more away.
Energy, sleep, digestion, symptoms, adherence, wins and challenges. Your coach responds with a video explaining what they see, what’s changing, and why.
Where labs or a licensed provider are warranted, your coach says so. Clients can choose Novus MD, and with consent, coach and physician can work together.
Health Optimization can be the destination, or a bridge into Lifestyle or Athletics coaching once the body is responding again.
Aegis coaching is not medical care, and we don’t blur the line. Your coach reviews your information within coaching scope, helps you understand it, and recommends conversations or labs with a physician where appropriate.
When a licensed provider is needed, clients may choose to access care through Novus MD, a strategic partner that understands the human-performance side of healthcare. With your consent, your Novus clinician and your Aegis coach can collaborate on the same picture. Medical decisions are always made by licensed clinicians.
Normal isn’t necessarily optimal.
Range is where a problem stops being flagged, not where a body starts working well.Starting point, what had already been tried, what the coach changed and why, and how the client describes it. Full results library

No. Aegis coaches nutrition, training, supplementation, and recovery, and helps you understand your health information. When something needs a licensed clinician, your coach says so, and Novus MD is one place clients can turn.
Not necessarily. Bring what you have. Your coach will tell you what would be useful and, where appropriate, recommend the conversation with a physician.
Honestly, it depends what’s underneath. Many clients notice energy and digestion change within weeks. Body composition and longer-standing issues take the time they take. We won’t promise a timeline we can’t keep.
Health Optimization coaching starts at $400 a month with a standard coach and $500+ with a senior coach. Each coach’s price is on their page.
