Dr Daniel Kirkbride — AHPRA Registered Osteopath

Who We Are

Not a GP. Not a Naturopath. Not a Coaching Program.

CYORA is a precision biological advisory firm. We sit at the intersection of clinical medicine, functional medicine, longevity science, and elite performance — integrated into one system, led by one clinician.

Dr Daniel Kirkbride is an AHPRA-registered Osteopathic Doctor and Functional Medicine Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience. He has personally reviewed more than 3,000 biological profiles — from World Champion athletes to eight-figure founders and executives.

CYORA is not a wellness brand. Not a supplement company. Not a generic coaching program. It is a clinical operating system built from your individual biological data — where every recommendation is traceable to a specific biological finding.

The Foundation

Biological Hierarchy

Biology has an order. Most practitioners jump straight to performance without addressing the foundational layers that determine everything above them. CYORA works top-down, every time.

Why most protocols fail

Fix upstream first.
Hormones last.

Every system in the body is downstream of the system above it. When a protocol starts with hormones or surface symptoms, it treats the smoke instead of the fire. CYORA works the eight tiers in order — top to bottom — every time.

Red Flags

Acute medical pathology

Anything dangerously out of range. Overrides every other tier. A protocol cannot start while a red flag is open.

ALT >200eGFR <60Hb <90Platelets <80WBC <2.0hsCRP >20

What dysfunction looks like

Acute pathology requiring GP or specialist referral.

What we fix first

Stabilise. Refer. No optimisation work until cleared.

▼

Nervous System

The conductor of the orchestra

Every system below is downstream of how regulated the nervous system is. A dysregulated nervous system means nothing else works for long.

HRVDHEA-SCortisol patternResting HRSleep architecture

What dysfunction looks like

Wired and tired. Can't recover. Can't think clearly. Adrenal output disordered.

What we fix first

Sleep first. Circadian rhythm. Breathwork. Adaptogens calibrated to phenotype.

▼

Immune System

The guardian — suppressed or hyperactive

When immune signalling is off, antimicrobials backfire, gut work fails, and inflammation can't resolve. Phenotype dictates strategy.

WBCNeutrophilsLymphocytesSecretory IgANLR ratio

What dysfunction looks like

Frequent infection OR autoimmune activity. Suppressed or in overdrive.

What we fix first

Identify Th1 / Th2 / Th17 phenotype before any antimicrobial protocol.

▼

Gut

The interface — 70% of the immune system lives here

Drives mood, inflammation, hormones, energy. Pathogens, dysbiosis, leaky gut and poor digestion ripple into every downstream tier.

ZonulinsIgACalprotectinPancreatic elastasePathogens

What dysfunction looks like

Pathogens. Dysbiosis. Leaky barrier. Impaired digestion. SIBO / SIFO / IMO.

What we fix first

ROPE Phase 2 REMOVE then Phase 3 REBUILD. Never optimise hormones on a broken gut.

▼

Liver & Kidney

Filtration and detoxification

Clears hormones, drugs, microbial debris, metabolic waste. Impaired clearance means everything else accumulates.

ALTASTGGTeGFRCreatinineBilirubin

What dysfunction looks like

Slow clearance. Backed up oestrogen. Drug burden. Bile sludge.

What we fix first

NAC. TUDCA. Glutathione support. Hydration. Bile flow.

▼

Inflammation

Downstream of upstream

Chronic inflammation is the signal, not the cause. Treating inflammation directly without fixing what's driving it is a treadmill.

hsCRPESRLDHHomocysteineFerritin

What dysfunction looks like

Systemic inflammatory load that blocks repair, sleep, body composition.

What we fix first

Address upstream causes (gut, liver, nutrient gaps) before any anti-inflammatory intervention.

▼

Nutrient Status

Raw materials for every reaction

Hormones need cofactors. Neurotransmitters need amino acids. The machinery only runs if the parts are present.

Vit DB12 + folateIron studiesMagnesiumZincOmega-3 index

What dysfunction looks like

Deficiencies that look like mystery symptoms — fatigue, low mood, poor recovery.

What we fix first

Replete via targeted supplementation. Lab-guided dosing. Recheck at 12 weeks.

▼

Hormones

Always last. Always downstream.

The most-blamed system is usually fine once everything above is dialled in. Optimising hormones first treats the smoke, not the fire.

TestosteroneEstradiolDHEA-STSH · FT3 · FT4IGF-1Cortisol curve

What dysfunction looks like

Low T. Thyroid issue. Cycle disruption. Often resolves when upstream tiers are fixed.

What we fix first

Never first. Optimise after all 7 upstream tiers are stable.

What We Do

We Measure. We Decode. We Build.

Your GP tests roughly 30 markers against a population where 61% have at least one chronic disease. CYORA tests 80 to 150+ markers across six diagnostic categories and interprets them against functional optimal ranges — not "not yet sick."

Advanced Blood Analysis

150+ markers covering hormones, inflammatory biomarkers, metabolic function, cardiovascular risk, micronutrients, and thyroid. Not the 30-marker panel your GP runs.

Gut Microbiome Analysis

Comprehensive stool testing identifying gut pathogens, bacterial diversity, inflammatory markers, and intestinal permeability. The gut drives immunity, hormones, and brain function.

DNA Methylation Analysis

92 genetic variants across detoxification, methylation, neurotransmitters, cardiovascular risk, and longevity. Your DNA does not change — how you respond to it can.

VO2 Max Testing

Gold-standard cardiovascular fitness assessment. One of the strongest predictors of long-term healthspan and all-cause mortality. Measured, not estimated.

DEXA Body Composition

Precise measurement of muscle mass, body fat percentage, bone density, and visceral adiposity by region. Far beyond what a scale or BMI reading can tell you.

Personalised Protocols

Every recommendation — nutrition, training, supplementation, lifestyle — is built from your data. Nothing templated. Nothing guessed. Everything traceable to a biological finding.

Optimises for performance

Between "not diseased" and "biologically optimal" is the gap where your energy, cognition, body composition, and longevity are being decided.

Our Method

The ROPE Protocol

Six progressive clinical phases. Biology has an order — most practitioners jump straight to performance without restoring the foundation. Every CYORA client moves through this framework, paced by their individual data. You cannot optimise a broken system.

Stage 01 · Months 1–6

Foundation Phase

You cannot build on a broken foundation. Every upstream driver is corrected first. Most people skip this. That is why they do not get results.

Phase 01RESTORE8 wks

Identify and correct key deficiencies driving your symptoms
Calm the inflammatory load and stabilise energy, mood and sleep
Build the clinical supplement foundation your body actually needs
Align nutrition and lifestyle to what your labs are telling us

Phase 02REMOVE8 wks

Eliminate what does not belong. Pathogens, overgrowths and toxic load
Break down protective biofilm before antimicrobial protocols begin
Rotating elimination approach to clear the gut without resistance
Binder and clearance protocol to safely manage the detox process

Phase 03REBUILD8 wks

Repair the gut lining and restore the mucosal immune barrier
Reseed the microbiome with the strains your data shows are missing
Reintroduce foods in a structured sequence as tolerance improves
Gut resilience locked in before the body is ready to optimise

24 weeks total

Stage 02 · Months 7–9

Optimisation Phase

Normal is not optimal. With a clean system underneath, we now dial in your biology precisely. Every lever pulled is based on your data.

Phase 04

12 weeks

Cellular Energy + Metabolism

Restore cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level
Recalibrate metabolic function, insulin sensitivity and glucose control
Optimise cardiovascular markers for long-term heart and brain health
Supplement stack refined to your genetic blueprint and lab results

Hormones + Body Composition

Hormone levels balanced and calibrated to your optimal range
Body composition retested. Targets set for muscle, fat and visceral load
Advanced clinical protocols introduced where the data supports them
Biological age measured and compared to your baseline from Month 1

Stage 03 · Months 10–12

Performance Phase

This is where the work compounds. Brain, body and longevity all firing together. Not average performance. Elite performance. Built on data.

Phase 05

12 weeks

Cognitive + Physical Output

Sustained peak cognitive output, focus and mental sharpness
Elite physical capacity, strength, power and cardiovascular fitness
Sleep architecture, HRV and recovery operating at their ceiling
Cardiorespiratory and body composition targets reached

Longevity + Resilience

Cellular longevity protocols layered in once the system is ready
Nervous system regulation and stress resilience fully locked
Every system: nutrition, training and supplementation at its peak
Year 2 roadmap built from your results and what the data shows next

Stage 04 · Year 2+

Evolve Phase

This is not a programme you finish. This is the long game. Your biology keeps changing. Your protocol evolves with it. Gains compound over decades.

Phase 06

Ongoing · Year 2+

Ongoing Optimisation

Comprehensive blood and stool testing every quarter
Body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness retested every 6 months
Biological age tracked year on year. The goal is to run it backwards
Protocol updated every cycle based on what the new data shows

Advanced Longevity

Cellular longevity protocols cycled in as the science evolves
Hormone, peptide and supplement stack refined to your current phase
Sleep, stress, environment and lifestyle dialled in at precision level
The highest performers in the world never stop optimising. Neither do you

We do not guess. We test. We decode the signal. We optimise the lever. We compound the gain over decades.

Why This Exists

The System Was Built to Find Disease. Not Optimal.

Most people with declining energy, cognitive fog, or body composition changes are not sick by conventional standards. They are operating far below their biological ceiling — and every practitioner they see treats one piece in isolation.

Your GP

Tests ~30 markers against a sick population average
Looks for disease, not performance or optimal
"Everything looks normal" when you feel anything but
No gut, DNA, cardiovascular, or body composition testing
Generic advice. No personalised protocol. No follow-through.

CYORA

Tests 80 to 150+ markers against functional optimal ranges
Looking for optimal — not just absence of disease
Shows exactly where biology is silently underperforming
Blood + gut + DNA + VO2 + DEXA all cross-referenced
Personalised protocol: training, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle — connected

The real problem is not any single practitioner. GP. Naturopath. PT. Nutritionist. Each treating one piece with nobody connecting the dots. CYORA is one clinician, one integrated system — every recommendation built from your data and connected to a biological finding.

How We Help

Which Situation Describes You?

CYORA works with two distinct groups. Both require advanced diagnostics. The clinical pathway depends entirely on where you are starting from.

Path A — Restore

"Something is wrong. No one has been able to find it."

You are not imagining it. Something is genuinely wrong. It just has not been found yet. You have tried everything and are exhausted from the search.

Brain fog, low energy, or chronic fatigue
Bloating, gut issues, or food sensitivities
Unresolved hormonal disruption or cycle irregularity
Unresolved autoimmune or thyroid-related symptoms
Told your bloods are "normal" but you feel anything but

Learn about Restore →

Path B — Optimise

"I am performing well. But I know there is more in the tank."

You are not sick. No red flags. But you are a high performer and know you are not operating at your ceiling. You want to close that gap.

Founder, CEO, executive, or elite operator
High-stakes decisions daily on suboptimal biology
Cognitive sharpness declining despite doing everything right
Silent inflammation or hormonal shift you can feel but not quantify
Top 1% in business. Want biology at the same standard.

Real Results

From People Just Like You

I have gone from burnt out and exhausted to training five days a week and feeling like myself again.

Was at rock bottom. Had seen many doctors, tried supplements, had surgeries. Dan was the last resort.

Kateesha Hembrow

Founder, BeKnown Academy

All brain fog is gone. I lost 10 kilograms in three months. I feel back on my feet and in a good thinking process.

Chronic brain fog and fatigue through pregnancy and postpartum. Back to original weight and no hormonal imbalance.

Simona Berenyte

Co-Founder, Dream Out Loud

My cognitive function is through the roof. My energy is through the roof. My sleeping is solid. I just feel strong and powerful.

Runs 3-day seminars - 40 hours on stage. Previously depleted by day three. Now charges through all three days with sustained energy.

Morgan Nelson

Founder, Coach, Speaker

My focus and productivity has gone through the roof. My business is bigger, more revenue, and I have got more energy to be present with my partner and family.

Struggled with focus crashes, caffeine dependence, gut issues he was not even aware of. Tried to figure it out himself for 7 years.

Lewis Huckstep

Founder, Inspired Life Method

I went from being burnt out and exhausted to noticing real improvements in my energy, focus, and ability to perform.

Father of two running a large business. Can now focus 3-5 hours at a time. Has not been sick in 9-10 months.

Toni Versic

Founder, CEO

I went from early signs of autoimmune disease, weight gain, bloating and depression - to losing weight, sleeping deeper, and my inflammatory markers dropping dramatically.

High antibody levels dismissed by her GP for years. Found Dr Dan on a podcast and took a leap of faith.

Susan Emary

Mother, Nurse, Counsellor and Doula

I had tried everything - specialists, GPs, naturopaths. Dan was the first person who actually looked at the full picture and fixed what was broken.

Years of mystery symptoms written off as stress. Root cause identified and resolved within the first protocol cycle.

Emma

Executive

Three years of unexplained fatigue. The data found it in round one. Six weeks later I was a different person.

Told repeatedly his bloods were normal. CYORA found the gaps no one else looked for and fixed them systematically.

Ben

Founder, Director

I am performing at a level I did not think was possible at this point in my career. Energy, recovery, body composition - everything shifted.

High-output professional who had plateaued. Gut and nutrient work unlocked results that training alone never could.

Corey

Director

Results vary. Individual outcomes depend on baseline health status, consistency, and biological response. These are shared experiences only — not guarantees of outcome.

Common Questions

What People Ask First

CYORA is a precision biological advisory firm — not a GP clinic, not a naturopathy practice, not a coaching program. We use advanced diagnostics that go well beyond a standard medical panel, interpret results against functional optimal ranges (not "normal"), and build personalised protocols across training, nutrition, supplementation, hormones, and lifestyle — all through one clinician who manages the full picture. Your GP looks for disease. We look for optimal.

ROPE stands for Restore, Remove, Rebuild, Optimise, Perform, and Evolve — six progressive clinical phases built on the understanding that biology has an order. Most programs jump straight to phase four (Optimise) without addressing the foundational layers first. CYORA works through each phase sequentially, guided by your individual biological data, so that performance is built on a genuinely restored and optimised foundation.

A focused 15-minute conversation. We learn about your situation, your history, and what you are trying to solve or achieve. If it is the right fit, we map out your next steps. If it is not, we will tell you honestly.

No. The majority of our clients are remote — across Australia and internationally. Testing is fully coordinated wherever you are. All consultations are conducted via Zoom. Our team handles every logistic.

Our entry point is the Blueprint — a once-off diagnostic and consultation starting from $1,995. The Boardroom, our 12-month clinical partnership, is $15,000 (finance available from $1,400/month). Private Elite concierge advisory is $10,000 per quarter. All pricing is discussed transparently on your discovery call.

Most of our clients have seen GPs, specialists, naturopaths, PTs, and nutritionists — each treating one piece with no one connecting the dots. CYORA is the only program where one clinician manages the complete picture: diagnostics, protocols, training, nutrition, supplementation, hormones, and lifestyle — all connected and all informed by your individual biological data.

Your biology is
not broken.
It has not been
properly measured.

Not a GP. Not a Naturopath. Not a Coaching Program.
