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.
Months of guided clinical care
In person clinical visits
Core metabolic data points
Functional medicine trained MD
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hormones shifting, muscle harder to maintain, fat easier to gain these aren’t excuses, they’re biology. And biology responds to the right interventions.
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.
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.
Every visit with Chip Nguyen, NP is a focused clinical checkpoint reviewing your data, refining your protocol, and keeping you accountable. Between visits, you’re never flying blind. Dr. Scott Gillin, MD oversees your entire clinical plan.
Complete health history, VO2Max testing, RMR/RER metabolic cart, Evolt 360 body composition, grip strength, waist/hip/thigh measurements. Nutrition Rx, Exercise Rx, and supplement protocol established. GLP-1 and peptide candidacy assessed.
Full conditional lab review GI-MAP, DUTCH, Theriome metabolomics if ordered. Evolt 360 re-scan. CGM data analysis if enrolled. First protocol adjustment based on how your body is actually responding.
Mid-program reassessment across all symptom domains. Energy, sleep, cognition, recovery, body composition trend analysis. Fine-tuning of all prescriptions. GLP-1 dose optimization if applicable.
Begin designing your maintenance protocol. Identify remaining gaps. Optimize the final 6 weeks for maximum graduation metrics. Peptide cycle completion. Long-term GLP-1 plan established.
VO2Max retest. RMR/RER retest. Final Evolt 360 scan. Repeat comprehensive labs. Grip strength retest. All circumference measurements. You receive your Metabolic Reset™ Outcome Summary side-by-side comparison of every metric. Maintenance protocol finalized.
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
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
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 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.
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.
6-month minimum · $2,994 total · Labs billed at cost
Labs Function Health, 3x4 Genetics, and any conditional labs are billed at cost no markup. GLP-1 and peptide pricing is separate per prescription.
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.
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.
