Redefining the limits of optimal human performance.

The Applied Science and Performance Institute was created to help you become the best version of yourself (PRIME).

PRIME is the period in life in which you are in peak physical, cognitive and metabolic health. When you are in your PRIME, you feel like you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Our mission is to guide you to your PRIME and beyond what you thought was previously possible.

This is accomplished by using our multi-faceted scoring system that identifies your human performance blueprint. This blueprint outlines your baseline health and performance and is vital to properly setting milestones and outlining the journey to your PRIME.

Your human performance blueprint is then used to create training, nutrition, physical therapy, and biologics protocols designed to direct you to, and beyond, your PRIME.

Seven categories of testing
