Your metabolism
deserves a real workup.
We test every system, find what’s actually driving your case, and build a protocol designed for you — interpreted and refined by the same clinician at every step.

Clinician — your Dr. is your Dr.
“You’re fine.” But you knew otherwise.
Conventional care isn’t built for these cases.
Most patients arrive after years of pushing through. Primary care visits, specialist referrals, lab work that came back “normal,” new medications, elimination diets that worked for a while. The reports said nothing was wrong; their bodies kept saying otherwise.
The truth is that standard care isn’t designed to find what’s actually driving these cases. The 12-minute appointment can’t hold the complexity. So the system tells you you’re fine.
We’re built for exactly that gap.
How we work
The Metabolic Blueprint Method.
Four operational principles every patient case runs through — regardless of which condition brought you in.
Test every system
Every protocol grounded in actual data — RMR, body composition, full chemistry, gut markers, hormone metabolites.
Find the root cause
Symptoms are downstream. We trace the cascade back to root drivers before recommending a single intervention.
Build a protocol for you
Stabilize the foundation, address the loudest driver, layer in the next. Stacking everything at once rarely works.
Refine as you respond
Monitor InBody, RMR, lab markers throughout. Adjust the protocol based on how you actually respond.

What you actually get
Your complete physiology, evaluated as one picture.
Most approaches check one thing at a time — a probiotic for the gut, a statin for cholesterol, a thyroid med for fatigue. Each move treats a symptom, not the system underneath.
The Metabolic Blueprint is the opposite. A comprehensive evaluation of your entire physiology in one integrated workup — gut function and intestinal permeability, inflammation markers, all the hormones (sex, stress, thyroid), vitamin and mineral status, metabolism, body composition — measured together, interpreted together.
The clinical interpretation — connecting every marker into one coherent picture — is the work. The Lab Review with Dr. Larsen and the written report are how you take it home.
What we work on
Where most of our patients land.
Seven conditions sit at the center of what we do. Most patients arrive with two or three of them at once.
Weight Loss Resistance
The plateau cases — protocols that used to work no longer do. RMR-driven analysis identifies why.
Low Thyroid + Hashimoto’s
Beyond TSH. We measure all 9 thyroid markers including reverse T3 and antibodies.
Hormone Imbalance
DUTCH metabolite testing for the dynamic picture — not a single-moment serum snapshot.
Food Intolerance + IBS + SIBO
GI-MAP stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, intestinal permeability assessment.
Insulin Resistance + PCOS
Treat the upstream insulin dysregulation, not just the surface cycle symptoms.
Perimenopause + Menopause
Multi-axis evaluation including cycle-mapped DUTCH testing. Not just HRT vs. no HRT.
From the case files
Real outcomes, real patients.
Anonymized snapshots from active and graduated patients. Measured outcomes, not just feelings.
F, 47 · Perimenopause
Hot flashes resolved · RMR +290 cal/day · A1C 5.9 → 5.4 over 12 months in The Reset
After years of being told my labs were normal, Dr. Larsen actually ran the markers that mattered. The Blueprint changed how I think about my own body.
— Blueprint patient, 12 mo on Reset
F, 38 · Weight Loss Resistance
12 lbs lost · Free T3 in optimal range · Sleep + energy restored after 6 months
Six months in the Reset and my RMR is back where it should be, my thyroid is stable, and I’m down body fat without the chronic fatigue I had before.
— Reset graduate
M, 52 · Insulin Resistance + Fatigue
Fasting insulin halved · Triglycerides normalized · Mental clarity returned in 8 weeks
I came in skeptical because I’d done functional medicine before. The depth of testing and the way Dr. Larsen sequenced the protocol made the difference.
— Blueprint + Self-Guided
