LONGEVITY PROGRAM
Chronological age is fixed.Biological age is not.
Aging is metabolic damage accumulating over time. We measure it with clinical metabolomic testing, identify the deficiencies and toxicities driving it, and design personalized health optimization prescriptions. The technology exists to catch the drift early and correct it. Test, don't guess.
Available to North Carolina residents.
Membership
Measure it. Move it. Over a year.
Longevity is a cadence, not a one-time fix: metabolomics on a schedule and ongoing guidance, with a physician reading every number. Get the baseline read a la carte, or join the Partnership and track it with me.
Start measuring.
Metabolomix+, a la carte
$476 all in
Metabolomix+ $329 at cost + specialty interpretation $147
- Your baseline metabolomic read: how your cells are actually running
- Physician interpretation by Dr. Tagge
- A written protocol built against your findings
- HSA / FSA eligible
The read and your plan. No ongoing commitment.
The relationship.
The Precision Partnership
$150 / month
Labs at cost. Quarterly reads are the cadence that actually moves the number. The trend is the proof.
- A comprehensive video intake, then monthly check-ins
- Direct messaging access throughout
- Testing ordered at cost as your plan evolves, no markup
- Your protocol updated as the data comes in
- However long the work takes. Some seasons run three months, some longer
The rate rises as the practice grows. You keep the rate you join at. Questions first? Start with a free Precision Call.
Where to start
Metabolomics is the front door.
If you came in for longevity, this is where to start. Metabolomics is the read of the small molecules your cells produce. The upstream-most measurement of how your biology is actually working.
Read on. The science arc below shows where metabolomics fits in the aging cascade. The pillar and the panel pages go deeper.
If the approach makes sense to you, this practice is built to support you in it. Dr. Daniel Tagge is a board-certified family physician and certified Health Optimization Medicine specialist.
When the approach makes sense, the next step is a conversation. Book a Precision Call.
The science arc
Aging is not many diseases. It is one cascade.
01 · The common view
Disease and aging are taught as separate.
Medicine is taught to treat them apart. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's get one set of tools. Decline, frailty, slowing down get another set, mostly nothing.
This is how the curriculum is structured. It is not how the biology works.
Disease
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Alzheimer’s
- Type 2 diabetes
- Chronic kidney disease
Aging
- Frailty
- Loss of strength
- Cognitive slowing
- Recovery decline
- “Everything else”
Two boxes. No bridge.
02 · The correct view
The diseases you fear are aging itself.
The chronic diseases people fear are not separate from aging. They are aging, arriving on schedule. The same biological cascade produces all of them.
You can wait for the diagnosis and treat each one as a category. Or you can work on the cascade upstream.
Disease
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Alzheimer’s
- Type 2 diabetes
- Chronic kidney disease
Aging
Specific diseases of aging
- Alzheimer’s
- Cancer
- Atherosclerosis
- Type 2 diabetes
- NAFLD
General diseases of aging
- Frailty
- Sarcopenia
- Immunosenescence

03 · Aging in three words
Metabolism. Damage. Pathology.
Lifelong metabolism creates the damage. The damage becomes late-life disease. This is the cascade. It is decades long.
By the time it is named as a diagnosis, the upstream work is already done. The cascade is not somewhere else. It is in your metabolism today.

04 · The fork
Two places to intervene. Most medicine picks the late one.
Most longevity medicine waits at the damage end. Repair what is already broken. Replace what is gone.
This practice works at the other end of the arrow. It reads the metabolism upstream, where the cascade begins. Optimize the metabolism, less damage accumulates. Less damage accumulates, less pathology arrives on schedule.

Common questions
Before you book.
I'm an optometrist who built and sold a practice. I know what good medicine looks like and I know what it costs to deliver it. I came to Daniel after trying everything. He found bottlenecks in my metabolism that nobody had even looked for. The work he does is a different category of medicine. If you're tired of being told everything looks fine, or you know your health could be better, start here.
