Feel Like
Yourself Again.
Most healthcare waits until something goes wrong. We start with you — your goals, your energy, your stage of life — and build a personalized plan around that. Whether the goal is sustainable weight loss, deeper sleep, sharper focus, or longevity that lasts decades, every protocol is physician-designed and continuously calibrated to your biology, not a template. Modern medicine, finally working for you.
The drugs work.
The approach is broken.
GLP-1s have changed the weight loss conversation. But somewhere along the way, millions of people found themselves thinner — and exhausted. Losing muscle. Feeling depleted. Trading one problem for three others.
That's not a drug problem. That's a protocol problem. GLP-1 alone suppresses appetite, but it doesn't protect muscle mass, doesn't restore energy systems, and doesn't address the underlying metabolic environment. Without Sermorelin to stimulate growth hormone release and NAD⁺ to fuel cellular energy, you're running one engine on three cylinders — and wondering why you feel off.
That's why we build protocols, not single prescriptions. Pairing the primary drug with the supporting compounds your body needs alongside it produces better results and fewer side effects than the same drug taken alone. Each piece supports the next — your protocol works with your physiology instead of against it.
"I'm losing weight but feel terrible"
GLP-1 alone can cause significant muscle loss, fatigue, and low energy — especially without a growth hormone stimulus or cellular energy support running alongside it.
"I've tried everything. Still exhausted."
NAD⁺ depletion, suboptimal GH release, and metabolic slow-down accumulate silently. Sleep doesn't fix them. Coffee masks them. The underlying biology needs addressing.
"My doctor says my labs are normal."
Normal for a population isn't normal for you. If your testosterone, hormones, or metabolic markers have declined significantly from your personal baseline, "within range" means nothing.
Medicine shouldn't work backwards either. Shopping for a drug and then finding a symptom it treats is how people end up on five prescriptions with four side effects each — none of which actually solve the underlying issue.
We built Obsidian around a different model: start with your goal, understand your biology, then build the precise protocol to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
That's not radical. It's just how good medicine should work.
Goal-first.
Not drug-first.
Phase 1 of the Obsidian Method is already live: understand your goals, identify the Obsidian programs that may match your needs, and route everything to a licensed provider who decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Phase 2 is coming: DNA testing, labs, and precision-matched training and nutrition that connect directly to your protocol. Every layer informed by the one before it.
This is how preventative medicine should work — proactive, personalized, and designed to help you never need the reactive stuff.
Same goal. Different life.
One solution.
The gym guy who's always tired. The mom running on empty. The executive who can't turn off at night. The athlete who needs every edge. On the surface, different people — but often the same underlying biology, and the same pharmaceutical support that helps.
Not sure which protocol is yours?
Take the Optimize Me quiz — five minutes, physician-validated logic — and we'll match you to the right protocol from our 11-protocol catalog. Or browse the full catalog directly if you already know what you're looking for. Either way, every protocol is designed for a real outcome, not a brochure.
Real people. Real results.
"I'd tried GLP-1 on my own and lost 18 pounds — but felt terrible. Adding the full protocol changed everything. I have energy again, I'm not losing muscle, and I actually feel like myself."
"My doctor kept telling me my labs were 'normal.' But I didn't feel normal. Obsidian actually looked at my personal baseline and found what was off. I feel 10 years younger — no exaggeration."
"As a mom of three, I thought exhaustion was just part of life. Within six weeks I noticed a real difference in energy, mood, and sleep. I wish I'd done this sooner."
Individual results vary. Testimonials reflect personal experiences and do not guarantee similar outcomes.
The US healthcare system
is designed to treat you once you're sick.
Almost everyone agrees: the American healthcare system is broken. Premiums have risen an average of 7–9% annually in recent years — and projections suggest that trend isn't slowing. Most families never reach their deductible. Preventative care is effectively an out-of-pocket expense. And insurance companies routinely decline coverage for anything that isn't tied to an active diagnosis.
The system isn't incentivized to keep you healthy — it's incentivized to treat you when you're not. Big Pharma develops drugs for diagnosed conditions. Insurance covers what's approved. And somewhere in the middle, tens of millions of people sit in a grey zone: not sick enough to be treated, but far from the version of themselves they could be.
Preventative care is the real path to a long, high-quality life. The boring parts — sleep, nutrition, movement — are the foundation. But sometimes the biology needs support that lifestyle alone can't provide. That's exactly where we step in.
What insurance doesn't cover
Hormone optimization. Peptide therapy. NAD⁺ infusions. Most longevity protocols. Preventative bloodwork beyond a basic panel. Anything that addresses how you function rather than whether you technically qualify as ill.
These aren't fringe interventions. They're some of the most evidence-backed tools available — just not covered, because there's no sick person to bill for.
What we offer instead
Transparent pricing. No insurance games. Physician-authorized protocols from an licensed compounding pharmacy. Monthly delivery, flexible plans, and a medical team that actually has time to understand your goals.
You don't need to be broken to deserve good medicine. You just need a provider who starts from that premise.
A $30/month drug that insurance won't cover — and probably should.
Tadalafil (the generic form of Cialis) is one of the most consistently underutilized preventative medications available for men. Originally developed for erectile dysfunction, the research on its broader cardiovascular and metabolic profile has quietly become one of the more compelling cases for low-dose daily use.
Insurance covers it only for specific diagnosed conditions. But for healthy men looking to protect their cardiovascular system, improve circulation, and maintain sexual health as they age — it's off-label, out-of-pocket, and largely invisible in primary care conversations.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to a Care Coordinator.
Sometimes you know something is off — but you don't know what to ask for. That's exactly what our Care Coordinators are here for. Share your goals and what's going on, and your Care Coordinator will help you identify which Obsidian programs may match your situation, then prepare a clear summary for our licensed provider to review on your behalf. We work with peptide therapies, GLP-1s, hormone optimization, and other specialty compounded options.
Care Coordinators are not licensed providers and cannot diagnose conditions or prescribe medications. All clinical decisions are made by a licensed physician.
- 1Tell us what you're experiencing. Symptoms, issues, what's not working — energy, weight, sleep, hormones, performance, anything on your mind.
- 2Tell us your goal. Fat loss, more energy, body recomp, longevity, peak performance — where do you want to land?
- 3We reach out to you. Phone call, text, or email — you choose how we connect.
- 4We summarize your situation for the provider. Your Care Coordinator pulls together the goals and problems you shared, identifies Obsidian protocols and products that may match, and prepares a clear summary for our licensed provider to review on your behalf.
- 5Suggested programs go in your cart. The Obsidian programs that match your goals are added to your cart for your review. Order and complete your medical intake when you're ready — no pressure, no obligation.
- 6A prescriber reviews everything. Once your intake is in, your protocol and treatment summary route to a licensed physician for final review. Nothing ships without their independent sign-off.
Every consultation is reviewed by a licensed physician before any protocol is recommended.

Your hormones aren't
a population average.
They're yours.
One of the most important — and most neglected — things medicine can do is establish your hormonal baseline when you're young and healthy. Because the "normal range" your doctor uses is built on averages across a broad population. It says nothing about what's normal for you.
The standard testosterone reference range is 300–1,000 ng/dL. That's an enormous window — and it tells you almost nothing about whether you're functioning at your optimal level.
Men's average testosterone levels have declined approximately 1% per year since the 1980s across population studies — independent of age. That means the "normal range" itself is built on a declining population.
Low T — relative to your baseline — doesn't just affect libido. It affects muscle maintenance, fat distribution, mood regulation, sleep quality, cognitive clarity, motivation, and cardiovascular health. Men who restore their testosterone to their personal optimal often describe it as feeling like themselves again — energy, drive, body composition, and focus returning together.
Most women are only told about estrogen and progesterone decline when they're officially in menopause. But perimenopause — the transition period where hormones start to fluctuate — can begin in a woman's mid-to-late 30s, often more than a decade before a formal diagnosis.
It's not stress. It's her biology changing — and without a personal baseline, there's no way to quantify how much.
Women also produce testosterone — and its decline is equally under-discussed. Low testosterone in women contributes to fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle tone, and flattened motivation. It's often the missing piece in a wellness picture that looks complete on paper but feels incomplete in daily life.
Now you can do
what the pros do.
DNA-driven training profiles, recovery protocols, and genetic insights — the same playbook the highest tier of athletes use, now opening to everyone.
Obsidian's athletics program was first built for competitive and semi-professional athletes — and for parents of young athletes who wanted to understand their child's physical potential from an early age. The idea was simple: if you know your muscle fiber profile at 14, you can train smarter, recover better, and understand your body's strengths and limits before a coach, an injury, or a decade of wrong training decides it for you.
Now we're opening it up. Whether you're a pro who needs the same edge your competitors have, a semi-pro pushing for the next level, or a weekend athlete who refuses to slow down — you get the same playbook the highest tier of athletes use: DNA-driven training profiles, performance and recovery protocols, hormone optimization, and physician-supervised support built around what your body actually needs, not what works for a population average.
What's available and coming next: ACTN3 muscle-fiber genotyping (live to early-access soon), BPC-157 + Sermorelin recovery protocols, Tesamorelin and Tadalafil performance support, plus genetic profiles for injury susceptibility, hormone sensitivity, and metabolism — rolling out as part of the full Obsidian Method.
For parents of young athletes, that means knowing your kid's biology before they're told to "just train harder" — and for adult competitors, it means closing the gap between you and the people winning at the next level.
Frequently asked questions
Why a protocol instead of a single compound?
Compounds that target different parts of the same biological pathway produce compounding results — not additive ones. GLP-1 addresses appetite and insulin signaling. Sermorelin stimulates nightly growth hormone release. NAD⁺ fuels mitochondrial energy and cellular repair. Together, they address fat loss, muscle preservation, and energy simultaneously. Alone, any one of them delivers a fraction of that effect.
Do I have to buy a protocol?
No. Every individual treatment we offer is also sold on its own. The protocols exist because most goals are easier to hit when the right compounds run together — but if you already know exactly what you want (semaglutide only, NAD⁺ only, tadalafil only, B12 only, etc.), you can buy the single product directly.

What is the Optimize Me quiz?
Launching this Friday — a 5-question goal-matching tool built with physician input. You describe your goals, health history basics, and lifestyle, and the algorithm matches you to the most appropriate protocol from our catalog. It’s Phase 1 of the Obsidian Method: start with the goal, find the fit, then build from there.
Do I need a prescription for any of this?
Yes — all protocols are physician-prescribed. You complete a health intake, a board-certified physician reviews your information and authorizes the appropriate protocol, and your compounds are dispensed from a licensed compounding pharmacy. This isn’t a supplement store. It’s medicine with a proper chain of oversight.
Why doesn't insurance cover any of this?
Insurance is designed to cover treatment of diagnosed conditions — not optimization, prevention, or performance. Most compounded peptide protocols, hormone optimization programs, and longevity-focused interventions don’t fit neatly into the ICD-10 billing code system. That doesn’t make them less effective. It makes them invisible to the system — which is exactly why we built Obsidian outside of it.
What is the Obsidian Method and when does it fully launch?
The Obsidian Method is our goal-driven health framework: Goal → DNA → Labs → Dietitian + Training → Your Protocol. Phase 1 (protocols + Optimize Me) is live now. DNA testing and labs are coming soon. The full integrated method — with dietitian and trainer matching — is in development. We’re accepting early access applications for select patients who want to be part of the initial rollout.
I'm a woman — is Obsidian for me?
Absolutely. Several protocols are designed for both men and women — NAD⁺ + Sermorelin, the energy protocols, and the longevity protocols in particular. Hormone-specific protocols (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone for women) are being developed as part of the full Obsidian Method and will require labs. If you’re interested in being part of our early women’s hormone protocol testing, reach out directly.
