You're not broken.
Your metabolism is
just running the wrong program.

You eat well, you try to exercise, and still the weight won't move, your energy is unpredictable, and nothing seems to stick.

Metabolic Reset™ is a physician-designed, 6-month clinical program that identifies exactly why your metabolism isn’t working using advanced testing, real lab data, and a personalized protocol then gives you a step-by-step plan to fix it.

Core metabolic data points

This program is built for people who are done guessing.

The weight-loss resistant adult

You’ve tried diets, cut calories, maybe even GLP-1s and you’re still not getting the results or the lasting metabolic change you’re after. Something deeper is going on.

The high-performer running on empty

Your labs look “normal” but you feel anything but. Brain fog, energy crashes, poor recovery, low drive your body isn’t keeping up with who you’re trying to be.

The longevity-minded investor

You understand that your metabolic health determines your trajectory. You want the data VO2Max, RMR, body composition, biomarkers and a real plan to optimize it.

The pre-diabetic or insulin-resistant patient

Your HbA1c is creeping up, your fasting insulin is elevated, and your doctor said “watch your diet.” You want more than a warning you want a reversal protocol.

The GLP-1 graduate

You’ve lost weight on semaglutide but you want to keep it off and build actual metabolic health not just depend on a drug. We build the foundation you need to sustain it.

The 40s–60s adult facing change

Hormones shifting, muscle harder to maintain, fat easier to gain these aren’t excuses, they’re biology. And biology responds to the right interventions.

If you check even two of these boxes, this program was designed for you:

Weight gain despite eating reasonably
Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix
HbA1c between 5.4–6.4%
Fasting insulin above 10 µIU/mL
Can’t lose fat despite caloric restriction
Brain fog or unpredictable energy
Belly fat that won’t respond to exercise
Post-40 body composition changes
Poor recovery from workouts
Want real data not just a scale

Standard medicine treats symptoms.
We find the cause.

Most metabolic dysfunction isn’t about willpower. It’s about broken signals dysregulated insulin, suppressed fat oxidation, cortisol patterns that destroy muscle and store fat, a gut microbiome that’s working against you, and genetic variants that change how your body processes everything from carbohydrates to caffeine.

“Your standard labs are 'normal' because normal ranges were designed to detect disease not optimize health.”

That’s why most people plateau. They’re treating the symptom the weight, the fatigue without ever identifying the mechanism. We identify the mechanism. Then we fix it.

What We’re Actually Looking For
Insulin resistance at the cellular level before it shows on standard labs
Fat oxidation capacity are you actually burning fat, or just burning sugar?
Mitochondrial dysfunction why your energy production has declined
HPA-axis dysregulation cortisol patterns that signal your body to store fat
Sex hormone metabolism how estrogen and testosterone are actually being used
Gut dysbiosis microbiome imbalances driving inflammation and cravings
Genetic variants nutrigenomic factors that change how you should eat
True resting metabolic rate so your caloric targets are actually accurate
Cardiovascular fitness your VO2Max as a direct proxy for longevity

Clinical rigor.
Not a wellness package.

Metabolic Reset™ is designed by Scott Gillin, MD a board-certified physician with IFM functional medicine curriculum training, and founder of Seaside Longevity in Cardiff/Encinitas. This is not a telehealth subscription. This is a physician-led, data-driven clinical protocol.

Your clinical visits are led by Chip Nguyen, NP, with Dr. Gillin overseeing every lab interpretation, prescription, and peptide/GLP-1 decision. You have a real medical team not an algorithm.

IFM Curriculum Institute for Functional Medicine trained

Board-Certified MD physician oversight on every clinical decision

Evolt 360 clinical-grade body composition testing not a bathroom scale

DNA

Function Health + 3×4 Genetics lab platforms used by top longevity practices

Metabolic Cart Testing actual VO2Max, RMR, and RER measurements

In-Person, North County San Diego Cardiff / Encinitas, CA

How we’re different from everything else:

We measure what actually matters

Most programs track weight. We track VO2Max, RER fuel utilization, skeletal muscle mass index, visceral adiposity, grip strength, insulin resistance markers, mitochondrial function, and hormone metabolism pathways.

Your protocol is built from your data not a template

Your Nutrition Rx is based on your actual RMR and RER not a generic calorie app. Your Exercise Rx is built from your VO2Max tier. Your supplements are triggered by your labs.

We’re positioned between concierge medicine and telehealth on purpose

Programs like Biograph and Human Longevity Inc. run $7,500–$8,000 for similar data. Telehealth platforms like Lifeforce send you a generic protocol based on a questionnaire. We offer clinical rigor at a fraction of the cost because we’re in your neighborhood.

The clinical depth of a
top-tier longevity clinic
without the price tag.

Common Questions

Straight answers.

Do I have to be local to North County San Diego?

Yes Metabolic Reset™ is an in-person program. Your visits are at our Cardiff/Encinitas clinic, and your metabolic testing VO2Max, RMR, Evolt 360 requires you to be here. If you’re willing to travel, we have patients who do exactly that.

A standard physician visit is 15 minutes, covers symptoms, and orders basic labs. Metabolic Reset™ is 6 months of coordinated clinical care with advanced metabolic testing, functional medicine lab analysis, nutrigenomics, body composition tracking, and a protocol that evolves based on your real data.

The program itself is a cash-pay investment. Some labs may be reimbursable through HSA/FSA. GLP-1 medications may have separate coverage we’ll help you navigate that.

Perfect. Many of our patients come already on semaglutide or tirzepatide. We build the metabolic foundation around it so you have something to sustain when you’re ready to taper. We also manage your GLP-1 dosing and exit strategy clinically.

Telehealth platforms give you a questionnaire-based protocol and mail you supplements. We perform actual metabolic testing VO2Max, RMR/RER, body composition interpret your specific labs, and build your protocol from your data.

You graduate with a complete maintenance protocol, a printed outcome summary, and the option to continue with quarterly maintenance visits MD check-in, Evolt 360, abbreviated labs. Most of our program graduates continue with quarterly monitoring to preserve their results long-term.

Six months from now,
you'll either have the answers
or still be guessing.

Metabolic Reset™ gives you a complete clinical picture of your metabolism, a team that knows your data, and a personalized protocol designed to fix the actual cause not just manage the symptoms.
