Backed by Actual Lab Data, Not Guesswork. Testosterone. Cortisol. Thyroid. Blood Sugar. Gut Health. Toxins. Nutrients. We measure all of it.
Hormonal Decline
Hormone Labs
Vitality NutritionSelect every statement that applies to you. Your severity grade updates below as you check boxes.
You were told 'it's just aging' and handed testosterone cream — or nothing at all. Year after year, the decline continues — and nobody ever ran a full hormone panel.

Your cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, gut, and toxin burden all regulate testosterone. Untreated decline worsens energy, drive, and muscle mass over time.
TRT overrides your system but never addresses why testosterone dropped — cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, gut, and toxins.
Standard care checks total testosterone alone. Free testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, and estrogen are rarely measured.
Chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation directly suppress testosterone production — yet adrenal testing is rarely run.
Standard panels check basic blood counts alone — skipping full hormones, cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, gut, and toxins.
You're handed testosterone cream or told 'it's aging.' Year after year the decline continues and nobody asks why your hormones dropped.
Standard workups check total testosterone alone, skipping free testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, blood sugar, and toxins.
Cortisol dysregulation directly suppresses testosterone — yet adrenal testing is rarely run in conventional care.
Conventional care focuses on lifelong TRT rather than restoring the adrenal, thyroid, and metabolic balance your hormones need.

We run full hormone panels, 4-point cortisol, complete thyroid, blood sugar, gut health, and toxins — not just basic labs.
A therapeutic nutrition plan built around your specific hormone patterns, blood sugar, and gut microbiome.
Evidence-based nutraceuticals for adrenal, thyroid, and testosterone support — dosed precisely from your labs — plus gut repair.
Regular follow-up labs and protocol adjustments ensure you're progressing toward restored testosterone and vitality.
Measures the full balance of male hormones — not just total testosterone — to identify true deficiency and imbalance.
Cortisol dysregulation directly suppresses testosterone production — yet adrenal testing is rarely run.
Thyroid dysfunction drives fatigue, weight gain, and low drive — yet free thyroid hormones are rarely tested.
Insulin resistance and belly fat directly lower testosterone — measuring these reveals a major driver.
Gut health and key nutrients like zinc and vitamin D are essential for testosterone production.
Endocrine-disrupting toxins and inflammation impair hormone production — measuring burden reveals hidden drivers.

Standard workups check total testosterone alone — skipping free testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, gut, and toxins — leaving the true drivers of decline hidden.

Board-Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner
Dr. Brandon Mannie is a board-certified functional medicine practitioner with over 400 hours of post-graduate training in clinical nutrition and functional medicine. He graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2004 and has been in private practice ever since.
Over the past 20+ years, Dr. Mannie has consulted with more than 3,000 patients — people who were told their labs were "normal," yet still felt far from well. His approach goes beyond symptom management: he investigates the root causes driving chronic illness and builds personalized protocols that restore true, lasting health.
Dr. Mannie operates a fully virtual telehealth practice, serving patients nationwide. His clinical expertise includes type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, weight loss resistance, and neuropathy.
"I've seen patients who were dismissed for years finally get real answers and real results. That's why I do this work."
These are the stories of patients who were told there was nothing more that could be done — and who chose to look deeper.

"I was told I'd just have to live with the fatigue. Dr. Mannie proved them wrong."
"After 4 years on Metformin and still feeling exhausted, Dr. Mannie found my issue was cellular resistance and gut inflammation. Within 90 days on his protocol, my energy is back and I've lost 15 pounds that wouldn't budge before."
"I was told I'd just have to live with the fatigue. Dr. Mannie proved them wrong. Within 90 days on his protocol, my energy is back and I've lost 15 pounds that wouldn't budge before."
"I was told my fasting glucose was 'normal' — meaning they had no idea why I felt so terrible. The functional labs revealed elevated fasting insulin and systemic inflammation. The targeted protocol changed everything."
"As a nurse, I was skeptical of anything outside conventional medicine. But when conventional medicine failed my Type 2 Diabetes for three years, I had nothing to lose. The root cause approach is exactly what I wish I had been taught."
"The difference between this approach and everything else I tried is that it actually makes sense. They found the cause — chronic gut inflammation and heavy metal toxicity triggering my immune system — and addressed it systematically."
"I had given up on ever having energy to play with my grandkids. The functional protocol — particularly the gut healing and targeted nutrient support — gave me my life back."
"Three specialists and a decade of suffering. One functional consultation changed the trajectory completely. My metabolic dysfunction had a root cause — and now it has a solution."
"I lost 47 pounds with Dr. Mannie's protocol without starving or resorting to injections. I sleep better, my anxiety is down, and I have boundless energy throughout the day."
