The program
A physician-supervised health optimization program for men 40 to 65. Everything it includes.
One program. One standard. Founded by Zac Armstrong, a retired Naval Commander. Twelve months, remote, clients nationwide, based in Coronado, California. Bloodwork at 0, 6, and 12 months, continuous biometrics, 1:1 coaching with your own coach, and a physician available for the questions a coach should never answer. Nothing is an upsell.
-
Diagnostics
Everything starts with the panel. Targets come from your bloodwork, not from a calculator.
- 80+ biomarker blood panel at month 0, month 6, and month 12
- Full written analysis of each panel, organized against your prior results
- Biological age analysis
- 1:1 blood analysis review with Zac Armstrong after every panel
- Lipids, glucose regulation, inflammation, hormones, and the markers that track body composition
-
Devices
Provided, not recommended. You choose the wearable. The scale ships to your door.
- A WHOOP band or an Oura ring, your choice, one of the two
- A Withings body composition smart scale
- HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, and strain feed into every session decision
- Weight trend is continuous, not self-reported
-
Coaching
1:1 with your own coach, every week, selected and trained by Zac to his standard. Not a group, not a template.
- Custom training plan, adjusted weekly against your data
- Custom nutrition plan with protein-anchored macro targets
- Grocery and supplement planning
- Travel and dining strategy, including a travel variant of every training week
- Weekly video review of your week
- Daily response to every logged workout, and a message the same day if you do not log
-
Physician oversight
Anything hormonal, pharmaceutical, or lab-dependent is a physician's call, never a coach's. Clients who want to pursue that lane have a physician to do it with.
- A physician available for the hormone and peptide lane, on request
- Written handoff process: the coach sends a summary with values and history, the physician responds with direction
- Anything a lab flags as critical, any medication question, and any new diagnosis routes to the physician every time
- Coaching adjustments are always presented as coaching informed by data, not medical advice
- How physician oversight works in detail
Service standard
What you can hold us to.
The delivery terms, written down. Compare them line by line with anyone else.
For the yardstick, see what an executive health program includes and costs and what the best physician-supervised program combines.
- Your coach
- One dedicated coach, 1:1, for the full twelve months. Every coach is a certified nutritionist, selected and trained by Zac Armstrong.
- Response to a logged workout
- Same day.
- If you do not log
- A message from your coach the same day. Silence never goes unnoticed.
- Response to a message
- Within 24 to 48 hours, usually the same day.
- Weekly
- A video review of your week with your coach. A Monday full analysis report and a Friday check-in report.
- Training plan updates
- Adjusted weekly against wearable and scale data. Full phase rebuilt every four to six weeks, or sooner when the data calls for it.
- Nutrition targets
- Set from your blood panel. Reviewed every two to four weeks and changed only on a data trigger: weight trend, biomarker shift, training phase, or recovery.
- Travel
- Every training week ships with a hotel-gym and bodyweight variant. Travel weeks get a protein floor and calorie ceiling. The standard does not pause.
- Bloodwork
- 80+ biomarkers at months 0, 6, and 12, with a written analysis and a biological age analysis after each draw.
- Physician
- A program physician for anything hormonal, pharmaceutical, or lab-dependent. Written handoff from your coach; written direction back. The coach never answers those questions.
- Client success
- A client success manager, separate from your coach, for onboarding, devices, scheduling, and anything that is not right.
- What costs extra
- Nothing in this list. Any treatment the physician prescribes is between you and the physician and is not part of the program fee.
Training
Built for a full calendar.
Three to four full-body or upper/lower sessions a week. Frequency beats volume when recovery is the limiter, and four sessions a man actually completes beat five he negotiates with.
Compound movements that carry over to life: squat and hinge patterns, presses, rows, loaded carries, plus direct work for grip, trunk, and single-leg stability. Zone 2 cardio and short high-intensity work are programmed, not optional, because the markers we are moving demand it. Primary goals are VO2 max and lean muscle mass.
Progression is double progression on main lifts with reps-in-reserve caps. Nobody grinds maximal singles in their 50s. Wearable data adjusts the day, not the plan: poor recovery reduces intensity, it does not cancel the session. Deloads are triggered by trending HRV, sleep, and performance, not by the calendar. How the data adjusts the day.
Every program ships with a travel variant: hotel gym and bodyweight versions of that week's sessions with the same movement patterns and the same progression tracking. Travel weeks count.
Nothing trades spine or joint risk for ego. No max-effort testing, no high-rep barbell ballistics, no kipping, and nothing you cannot perform pain-free with your current mobility. Existing orthopedic history is programmed around, never through. An injury at this age does not cost a week. It costs a quarter.
Nutrition
Hard numbers where they matter. Ranges where they do not.
Protein-anchored macro targets, food first. Calories and protein are hard numbers. Carbs and fats are ranges you flex within. No branded diets, no elimination fads.
Your initial targets are set from the panel: lipids, glucose, inflammation markers, and body composition. Week one is deliberately simple. Hit protein, hit a calorie ceiling, log honestly. By month six you know your numbers and you know how to eat at a steakhouse without blowing the week. Structure shifts from prescription to guardrails.
Numbers change on data triggers, not feelings: rate of weight change outside the target band for two or more weeks, biomarker shifts at retest, a training phase change, or recovery falling apart on the wearable. Otherwise they stay put. Constant tinkering is how clients lose trust in the process.
Business dinners are trained as a skill: protein first, one plate, done. Alcohol gets a number, not a lecture. Travel weeks get a simplified target, a protein floor and a calorie ceiling, because precision dies on the road but the standard does not. The same protocol is built around trial weeks and client dinners for attorneys and around a founder's calendar.
Supplements are short and boring: creatine, protein, vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, adjusted by what your bloodwork actually shows. We do not sell stacks.
Paying for it
HSA and FSA funds.
Whether the program qualifies for health savings account or flexible spending account funds depends on your plan and your own tax situation. We provide itemized invoices that separate diagnostics, devices, and coaching. Confirm with your plan administrator or tax advisor.
Next step
Start with a call.
Forty-five minutes with an advisor: where you are, what the data would show, which coach fits, and whether the program is right for you. If it is not, you will be told.
The call is free. HSA and FSA funds may apply to the program, depending on your plan.
