Nature’s tools. Clinical precision.
The ARISEL Program: Doctor-led, whole-body metabolic care. Support on and off GLP-1 medications, a drug-free path, and six-month programs for diabetes, heart, kidney, and brain health.
Whole-body, root-cause care
We don’t chase numbers. We restore the metabolism underneath them.
Progress you can measure
Body composition and real lab results tracked over time: muscle, fat, A1c, blood pressure, lipids, kidney function.
Alongside your Doctors
Coordinated with your prescriber and specialists, never around them. Your Doctor makes every medication decision.
ARISEL Metabolic · GLP-1 support
Keep the muscle. Keep the results.
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide work. A meaningful share of the weight lost can be muscle, though, and in clinical trials people regained most of the weight within a year of stopping. The ARISEL Program covers what the prescription doesn’t: protein, strength, gut health, and a plan for the day you stop.
TRACK 1
On-medication companion
You’re taking a GLP-1 now.
Protein and strength plan to protect muscle
Support for nausea, constipation, and other GI side effects
Probiotics and targeted supplements for common nutrient gaps
Body composition tracked, not just pounds
TRACK 2
The off-ramp
You and your prescriber plan to taper or stop.
Maintenance habits in place before the last dose
Taper timed with your prescriber, never on our own
Close check-ins through the months when regain usually starts
Scheduled follow-ups back with your prescriber
TRACK 3
Drug-free metabolic
You can’t take, tolerate, or afford the medication, or prefer not to.
Food-first therapeutic nutrition
Microbiome restoration and structured exercise
Lab-guided progress for blood sugar, lipids, and blood pressure
The same daily support as Tracks 1 and 2
DAYS 1–90
Phase 1 · Protect
Daily check-ins in the ARISEL app, strength progressions by video, and a nutrition plan built around your appetite and side effects.
DAYS 91–180
Phase 2 · Sustain
Weekly progress reviews, habits locked in, and a maintenance plan that holds after the program ends.
DAY 90 · DAY 180
Back to your prescriber
With your permission, we let your prescriber’s office know when a follow-up is due. They review your progress and adjust medications. The ARISEL program itself never prescribes or changes doses.
ARISEL Essentials
The full six-month program in the app: nutrition, exercise, core supplements and probiotic, daily AI-guided check-ins with a clinical team behind them, and a monthly live group session.
ARISEL Precision
Everything in Essentials, plus continuous glucose monitor windows, a body-composition scale, labs at baseline and six months, and a one-on-one consult.
Pricing is reviewed at your consult. Programs run in six-month blocks.

The ARISEL Program
One intake. One plan for the whole body.
Excess weight, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease share the same root causes, so we treat them as one system. Every track begins with the same intake and risk workup, then runs six months across five pillars, long enough for real change to show up in your labs and body composition.
Nutrition
Therapeutic eating and targeted, lab-guided supplementation built around your medications.
Microbiome restoration
Medical-grade probiotics and fermented foods to rebuild gut health.
Immune balance
Calming chronic inflammation and supporting healthy immune function.
Toxin reduction
Identifying and lowering current or past toxin exposures that strain metabolism and the kidneys.
Exercise and movement
Structured, safe protocols matched to your heart and fitness, with strength work to protect muscle.
MONTHS 1–2
Foundation
Full intake, baseline labs, and a personalized plan built around you and your current medications.
MONTHS 3–4
Build
Deepen the changes, first repeat labs at three months, and a follow-up with your prescribing Doctor.
MONTHS 5–6
Consolidate
Six-month labs, lasting habits, and a clear plan going forward.
HEART HEALTH · MONTHS 7–12
Phase 2
