Your biology has more to saythan your labs are telling you.
Physician-led precision health for people who refuse to settle for “normal.” Metabolomics. Systems medicine. Measurable outcomes.
Who this is for
There is another level.
You invest in your career, your family, your future. You train. You track. You have read the research. And yet — something is off. Energy inconsistent. Recovery lagging. Body composition drifting. Your doctor says your labs are normal. You know that is not the same as optimal.
This practice measures what conventional medicine does not. The cellular function underneath every output you have been tracking. The metabolic terrain that determines whether your biology is running at its potential — or quietly falling behind.
The people who belong here are not looking for a diagnosis. They are looking for the next unlock.
A definition of health
You can't optimize what hasn't been defined.
Health is an optimal physiological state characterized by the absence of disease and the balance of metabolism — anabolism and catabolism — according to where you are in the life cycle.
Data without a definition is noise.
This practice provides the definition.
About Dr. Tagge
Building a New Model.
I am a third-generation physician who spent his career asking questions conventional medicine does not ask. What is health? What drives the systems that create it?
The answers took me into metabolomics, mitochondrial function, gut biology, hormonal optimization, chronobiology, and exposomics. I track my own biology. I train. This work is not theoretical.
I trained in Health Optimization Medicine™, a clinical framework built around a definition of health the conventional system never had. Conventional medicine has no mechanism to deliver this work. So I built a practice that does.

From Definition to Practice
This is what it looks like in practice.
01
Intake
Start from your data.
I review your history, goals, and everything you already have. Wearable exports, prior labs, CGM data. We start from your data, not from zero.
02
Testing
The foundation layer.
Metabolomics, gut microbiome, full hormone panel. The foundation layer underneath every output you have already been tracking.
03
Plan
Five priorities. Your biology.
Live delivery session. Every finding explained, every recommendation grounded in your data. Prescriptions where indicated.
04
Optimize
The loop that doesn’t stop.
Longitudinal tracking and protocol refinement over time. An ongoing clinical relationship with a physician who keeps measuring.
This is precision health in practice.
Patient experience
What patients say.
A physician who dared to look for what drives the system that creates health, not just the symptom.
★★★★★
Dr. Tagge was fantastic. Approachable and professional, answering questions and outlining a plan while truly, actively listening. I didn't expect the level of care he provided. He's one of the good ones that don't throw pills at everything and really tries to find the root cause while making a personalized plan. I sure wouldn't mind an extra drive for the health care model he provides.

Dr. Tagge is amazing. He stays invested in my ongoing care. Always listens to what I've got going on, looking for underlying reasons for certain symptoms and doesn't just throw medicine at me. He is always looking for ways to better myself not only short term but long term as well.

He is a passionate and caring doctor. He has really changed my life and motivated me when I was down about my struggles with weight. He listens to me and gives me great advice and I am thankful for finding him.
