The Maximal Viable Solution Protocol

Your problem isn't effort. Your problem is that nobody has ever truly measured how YOU burn.

A plan built on your own measured metabolism, checked every Monday.

Everyone else will tell you what insulin resistance is. I measure what your metabolism is actually doing and adjust your targets as your body naturally adjusts. On a free call, my team looks at where you are now and shows you what a plan built on your own numbers could look like, and which option fits you.

Why this matters

Built to address insulin resistance

Insulin resistance sits behind stubborn weight, rising blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. My method measures it, then builds your plan from your own numbers.

How it works

The Metabolic Medic Method, in four phases

  1. Phase 1

    Habit Transformation + the 5-Day Sleep Reset

    First 5 weeks
    Dr. Nick's Habit Transformation ProgramsDr. Nick's 5-Day Sleep Reset Program

    Personalized habit protocols fix the everyday behaviors that quietly hold your progress back.

  2. Phase 2

    Baseline Metabolic Calibration Testing

    First 5 weeksThe Fittest You Metabolic Calibration Testing kit box

    The gold-standard way to measure the calories your body actually burns, done at home. Your plan starts from your numbers, not a formula.

    How the test works
    1. Your kit arrives, shipped by my team.
    2. You test at home for about a week, living your normal life, with step-by-step instructions and my best-practices guide.
    3. You use the pre-labeled package to send your samples to me at the end of that week.
    4. I analyze your samples and put together a report that shows you how many calories you burn each day, how that splits between rest, daily movement, digestion and exercise, your fat and lean mass, the energy intake that fits your goal, and much, much more.

    Online calculators can ONLY estimate your daily calorie needs from your age, height and weight, and they can be off by hundreds of calories a day. My approach, instead, does not estimate… it measures. Depending on your program, you repeat the testing later as Ongoing and Final Metabolic Calibration Testing, so your targets keep up as your body changes.

  3. Phase 3

    The Recalibration Loop

    From week 6
    1. Measure: your metabolism is tested daily, not estimated.
    2. Set: your nutrition and activity targets are set by me using your own tested numbers.
    3. Check in every Monday: weight, waist, photos and your tools' data.
    4. Recalibrate: I adjust your targets before your metabolism adapts, almost every week, so progress keeps coming.
  4. Phase 4

    Final Metabolic Calibration Testing, then your Post-Goal Plan built from your new numbers, so you keep your results on your own.

What you get

Everything measured, nothing guessed

  • Baseline Metabolic Calibration Testing, repeated as Ongoing and Final Metabolic Calibration Testing as you progress.
  • Two daily tools: one shows how your body is using fuel, day to day; the other tracks your movement, recovery, nutrition and stress management. I see the data, so your plan responds to what your body is actually doing.
  • Body-composition scans that show fat coming down while you keep your muscle.
  • Every-Monday check-ins, with your targets adjusted almost every week.
  • No meal plan to follow (though clients who stay consistent with a specific aspect of their plan can earn no-added-cost personalized monthly ones) and no foods banned: dinners out and celebrations still fit.
  • Built so you won't need us: you learn to run your own plan.

Results

What it looks like in real life

Drag the line to see before and after.

After
Before
BeforeAfter

Eric

Lost 41 lbs while keeping his lean mass, and improved his high blood pressure, prediabetes and cholesterol.

Dan

Lost 37 lbs, stabilized his blood sugar and no longer relies on medication.

Dan was advised to, and did, work with his own doctor to wean off the medication as his metabolic health improved.

Jean

A 65-year-old personal trainer, she lost 10 lbs of body fat and gained lean muscle in under 150 days, and no longer needs thyroid medication.

Jean was advised to, and did, work with her own doctor to taper off the medication.

Across all clients who started my one-on-one program since December 2024 (V4 to V6), including those who stopped early, the median weight change over their program was −5.9% (median 14 weeks), and 2 in 3 lost 5% or more. Across the clients who started my one-on-one program since December 2024 (V4 to V6) and reached the goal they set with me, the median weight change over their program was −12.8% (median 16.5 weeks), every one of them lost 5% or more, and 3 in 4 lost 10% or more. Individual results vary with your starting point and how closely you follow your personalized plan. These are real clients, not paid actors; some may have earned referral rewards or cash back upon completion of their goal.

When the plan isn't followed

A 53-year-old man under my care heard my recommendation in 2020 to address his metabolic health with a personalized, lifestyle-change-oriented plan, but chose to defer it. His DEXA scans from before that moment, compared with two years after:

His two scans were done on different DEXA machines.

Coaching does not replace medical care.

Questions

What people usually ask

Do I need a medication like a GLP-1 for this?

No. My method is built on nutrition, movement, recovery and stress, measured and adjusted to you. If you already take medication, any change stays between you and your own doctor.

Is there a meal plan, or foods I can't eat?

No meal plan (though clients who stay consistent with a specific aspect of their plan can earn no-added-cost personalized monthly ones), and no food is off-limits. Your targets come from your numbers, so dinners out and celebrations still fit.

Is this covered by insurance?

No. It's self-pay: I'm not acting as your primary care doctor here, and the coaching is lifestyle-based rather than medical treatment, so insurance does not cover it.

What kind of diet is this?

It isn't one. Temporary changes produce temporary results, so the program builds habits and systems you learn to run yourself.

What does it cost?

Programs are matched to your goal and timeline. My team walks you through the options on your free call.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, in writing. If you meet the four targets and the other steps in your agreement and still don't reach the goal you set with me, you get 100% of your investment back, plus $2,000 for your time, plus free one-on-one coaching until you get there. See how the guarantee works.

Do I get anything back for reaching my goal?

Yes. Reach your goal within your original program and complete the documentation steps in your agreement, and you earn back 5–25% of your investment, depending on your package.

What if the weight comes back after I reach my goal?

Reach your goal once. If the weight ever comes back, so do we: Evergreen Goal Support gives you free one-on-one coaching to get you back there. Included in packages with the Post-Goal plan, on the terms in your agreement.
