What Is Performance Medicine?

Performance Medicine is a modern, data-driven approach to optimizing how your body performs — physically, mentally, and metabolically. Using advanced diagnostics such as VO2 Max, PNOĒ metabolic analysis, RMR, lactate testing, and recovery biometrics, we identify the exact factors limiting your strength, endurance, energy, and longevity.

Your physiology becomes the blueprint. Our physician-led team translates your unique data into a personalized performance strategy designed to enhance metabolic efficiency, improve oxygen utilization, strengthen recovery, and elevate your total human potential.

Metabolic Efficiency

Discover how your body uses fuel — and optimize fat vs. carb utilization.

🫁

Oxygen Performance

Improve endurance, VO2 Max, and oxygen delivery at every intensity.

🔬

Precision Diagnostics

Data-backed insights into stress, recovery, metabolism, and longevity markers.

Elevate your physiology. Transform your performance.

Advanced Performance Testing & Recovery

A fully integrated performance lab combining metabolic diagnostics, oxygen-based training, and advanced recovery technologies to support your strength, endurance, and longevity.

VO2 Max performance testing with mask and treadmill

VO2 Max Testing

Measure your maximal oxygen uptake to assess cardiovascular fitness, endurance capacity, and longevity-linked performance markers.

Lactate threshold and diagnostics in a sports science lab

Lactate Threshold Testing

Identify your training zones and lactate threshold to fine-tune intensity, improve endurance, and prevent overtraining.

Vasper cooling compression performance system

Vasper Training

A high-intensity, low-impact system that uses compression, cooling, and interval training to rapidly boost strength, hormones, and recovery.

Exercise with oxygen therapy in a performance lab

EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen)

Train with high-flow oxygen to support mitochondrial function, endurance, brain health, and overall performance.

IHHT & Altitude Adaptation

Intermittent hypoxic and hyperoxic exposure to stimulate mitochondrial renewal, metabolic resilience, and altitude-style conditioning.

Advanced recovery protocols including compression, lymphatic support, and red light therapy

Recovery & Regeneration

Advanced recovery tools such as compression, lymphatic support, red light therapy, and nervous system regulation to help you bounce back faster and train smarter.

The IFHO Performance Blueprint

A structured, physician-led system that transforms advanced diagnostics into a clear, actionable plan for elite human performance.

01

Precision Diagnostics

We begin with VO2 Max, metabolic analysis, lactate testing, resting metabolic rate, and body composition to map how your body performs under real-world demand.

02

Performance Analysis

Your data is interpreted by a physician trained in longevity and performance medicine, identifying bottlenecks in oxygen delivery, metabolism, recovery, and workload tolerance.

03

Personalized Optimization Plan

We design a custom strategy using training zones, nutrition calibration, Vasper sessions, EWOT, IHHT, peptides, and targeted recovery protocols aligned with your goals.

04

Continuous Refinement

Regular retesting and follow-up visits ensure your plan adapts as you progress—turning short-term gains into long-term, sustainable performance.

Who Is This For?

Performance Medicine is designed for anyone looking to unlock their full physical, metabolic, and cognitive potential — no matter where they’re starting from.

Athletes

Professional and recreational athletes seeking stronger endurance, faster recovery, and performance data.

High Performers
