Educating the World on Cellular Health.
One Pillar at a Time.

We teach the Health Optimization Medicine & Practice (HOMe/HOPe) model so anyone can move from illness-care to health optimization.

The Shift from Disease to Health Optimization

HOMe/HOPe, founded by Dr. Theodore Achacoso, asks a better question: not “Why are you sick?” but “How can we optimize your health?” The core clinical workflow: Measure Compare Balance.

Origin: A systems-based approach designed to restore optimal cellular function—not just treat disease.
Contrast to Illness Medicine: From symptom suppression to upstream optimization.
Method: Use metabolomics and allied disciplines to find and correct subclinical imbalances.

Measure. Compare. Balance.

Measure real-time metabolites and signals.
Compare to optimal ranges (healthy 21–30yr benchmarks).
Balance toward optimal using bioidenticals, phytoceuticals, lifestyle.

This framework informs all our educational materials and courses.

Your Biology is a Symphony. Each Pillar is an Instrument.

Explore the seven core pillars of the HOMe/HOPe model. Each tile links to deeper learning.

Health Optimization is the Future of Medicine

From signaling to systems, here’s why optimization beats symptom management.

The Cell Danger Response: Chronic imbalance drives dysfunction; restoring balance restores capacity.
Optimal vs Survival: Standard lab ranges track disease; optimization targets vitality.
From Data to Action: Metabolomics guides precise, stepwise interventions.

From Illness-Care to Optimization

Our nonprofit translates cutting-edge science into accessible learning pathways for the public, health coaches, and clinicians.

Free primers, deep dives, and community cohorts make the curriculum approachable.
