Our Methodology

THE ART OF MEDICINE,
THE FUTURE OF
Science

We combine extreme innovation and in-depth analysis with an old-fashioned, relational approach. Research-based, yet deeply clinical and personal.

The F.A.L.T. Principle
F Faith

The foundation of resilience. Aligning mental clarity and spiritual grounding with physical health.

F Fuel

Metabolic nutrition. Prioritizing nutrient density and metabolic flexibility over calories.

A Activity

Intentional movement. Integrating body posture, biomechanics, and strength for longevity.

L Light

Circadian biology. Harnessing light exposure to regulate sleep, hormones, and recovery.

T Temperature

Hormetic stress. Using heat (sauna) and cold (plunge) to build cellular resilience.

The Tech Stack

Diagnostic Arsenal

01 / Cardiovascular

Caristo Analysis

The Goal: Visualize heart disease before it attacks.
AI overlay of Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) that detects and characterizes "soft plaque" and arterial inflammation.

Advanced Blood Diagnostics

The Goal: Predict risk.
Advanced cardiovascular and metabolic analysis to predict short to long-term cardiovascular risk .

Intracellular Testing

The Goal: Uncover hidden deficiency.
Detailed functional intracellular micronutrient assessment to guide precise intervention .

02 / Early Detection

Invitae Genetic Testing

The Goal: Meaningful insight.
Comprehensive insights into hereditary cancer and cardiovascular conditions .

Cell-Free DNA Testing

The Goal: Detect cancer at its earliest signal.
Liquid biopsy technology that screens for over 50 cancer types by analyzing cell-free DNA fragments in the bloodstream — catching malignancies before symptoms or imaging can.

Whole Body MRI

The Goal: Anatomical certainty.
Partnerships for preventative imaging to detect tumors, aneurysms, or structural anomalies before symptoms arise.

03 / The Metabolic Engine

Cleveland Heart Lab

The Goal: Deep inflammation profiling.
The gold standard in inflammation testing (MPO, Lp-PLA2) to assess the root cause of metabolic dysfunction.

Continuous Glucose (CGM)

The Goal: Real-time fuel analysis.
Using Stelo and Dexcom sensors to visualize your glycemic response to food, sleep, and stress in real-time.

Gut & Microbiome

The Goal: Systemic immunity.
Utilizing GI-MAP and Genova Diagnostics to assess gut barrier integrity, microbiome diversity, and nutrient absorption.

04 / Performance Chassis

Wearable Ecosystem

The Goal: 24/7 Data Stream.
We integrate data from multiple wearable, home testing, and monitoring devices directly into your clinical plan .

VO2 Max & InBody

The Goal: Benchmark your engine.
Testing your aerobic ceiling and precise body composition (visceral fat vs. skeletal muscle) to engineer a stronger physical chassis.

TruAge Biological Clock

The Goal: Measure how fast you are aging.
Full epigenetic aging analysis that compares your biological age against your chronological age to validate your longevity strategy.

Data without direction is noise.

Book The Executive Audit
Diagnostic Questions
What does a Caristo heart scan show?
Caristo uses AI-driven analysis of coronary CT angiography to detect inflammation in the fat surrounding your coronary arteries — a biomarker called pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT). This reveals cardiovascular risk that traditional stress tests and standard CT scans miss entirely, often detecting plaque instability 15-20 years before a cardiac event would occur.
How does the Grail Galleri cancer screening work?
Grail Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection test that analyzes cell-free DNA fragments in your bloodstream. A single blood draw screens for over 50 cancer types — including many with no other recommended screening test — by detecting methylation patterns associated with cancer. It identifies both the presence of cancer and the tissue of origin.
What is biological age testing with TruAge?
TruAge measures your epigenetic biological age by analyzing DNA methylation patterns. Unlike your chronological age, your biological age reflects the actual pace at which your cells are aging. This test reveals whether your lifestyle and health interventions are accelerating or decelerating the aging process — providing a measurable target for longevity optimization.
How does continuous glucose monitoring work?
A continuous glucose monitor is a small sensor worn on your arm that measures glucose levels every few minutes, 24 hours a day. At VALIA, we use Stelo and Dexcom CGM devices to show you exactly how your body responds to specific foods, exercise, sleep, and stress in real-time — not as an average, but as your personal glycemic fingerprint.
What blood tests should I get for longevity?
Standard annual bloodwork misses most of what matters. A comprehensive panel should include advanced lipid testing (ApoB, Lp(a)), inflammatory markers (hsCRP, MPO, Lp-PLA2 via Cleveland Heart Lab), metabolic markers (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c), hormones (thyroid, testosterone, DHEA-S), and nutrient levels (vitamin D, B12, magnesium, omega-3 index). VALIA includes these in the Insight and Pinnacle tiers.
