Life Protocol was built on a simple frustration with how most healthcare works — and a belief that it can work differently, from anywhere.
I grew up in a house where "optimizing your health" wasn't a New Year's resolution — it was just Tuesday. My dad's a longevity physician. My mom never met an aerobics class she didn't love. Between the two of them, I never really stood a chance of growing up "normal."
Before any of this, I was an athlete — varsity, then professional — which teaches you fast that your body doesn't care about your excuses, it just tells you the truth, usually at the worst possible time. That's what pulled me toward the diagnostic side of health. I trained and got certified in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine, because I wanted tools that explain why you feel the way you do, not just protocols that mask it.
Twenty years later, I've built and run health-optimization protocols for people all over the world, and the one thing that's never changed is this: your biochemistry is yours — not a template, not an average, not "normal for your age." Life Protocol exists because I got tired of watching smart, driven people get handed the same generic advice as everyone else. Clinical sessions dealing with hormones and prescriptions are handled directly by Dr. Coppin, so members get both depth of investigation and continuity of care, entirely virtually, wherever they are. My toolbox keeps expanding as the science does — so does yours.
Comprehensive lab work comes before any protocol. We want to see what's actually happening in your hormones, metabolism, and systems — not assume it.
Sleep, stress, gut health, hormones, and training all talk to each other. We treat the system, not an isolated symptom.
"Normal" lab values aren't the finish line. We build toward how you actually want to feel and perform — wherever you're based, whatever timezone you're in.
Life Protocol members tend to be high performers — executives, athletes, and driven professionals scattered across time zones — who have hit a wall that conventional appointments haven't explained, or who simply refuse to wait until something breaks to invest in their biology. Every session is virtual, so where you live has never been a barrier to working with us.
