The Method

Biology Has an Order.
We Work In It.

Three lenses on the same data. Six tiers worked top to bottom. Two hundred plus markers read against optimal instead of "not yet sick". This is the method behind every CYORA client, and it does not change based on who is standing in front of it.

The Intersection

Clinical × Performance × Longevity.

The doctor sees pathology. The coach sees output. The longevity clinic sees the future. Each lens misses what the others catch, so CYORA reads your data through all three at once, in one pair of hands.

Most providers live in one circle. CYORA is built where the three overlap,
one clinician, every lens on the same data.

What We Do

We Measure. We Decode. We Build.

A standard panel measures roughly 30 markers against population reference ranges, ranges skewed by a population where 61% already live with at least one chronic condition. CYORA tests 200+ biomarkers across six diagnostic categories and interprets them against functional optimal ranges, not "not yet sick."

01

Advanced Blood Analysis

150+ markers covering hormones, inflammatory biomarkers, metabolic function, cardiovascular risk, micronutrients, and thyroid. Well beyond a standard 30-marker panel.

02

Gut Microbiome Analysis

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

03

DNA Methylation Analysis

92 genetic variants across detoxification, methylation, neurotransmitters, cardiovascular risk, and longevity. Your DNA doesn't change; how you respond to it can.

04

VO2 Max Testing

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

05

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.

06

Personalised Protocols

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

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

The Foundation

The Biological Hierarchy

Fix Upstream First.
Every Time.

Every system in the body is downstream of the one above it. When a protocol starts with surface symptoms - back pain, fatigue, stubborn weight, low libido - it treats the smoke instead of the fire. CYORA works the six tiers in order, top to bottom, every time.

01
Nervous
The conductor. Everything below is downstream of this.
In Business Terms · The CEO
A dysregulated nervous system impairs downstream recovery. Sympathetic dominance, poor HRV, and disordered cortisol suppress digestion and stall protocols.
HRVResting HRCortisol curveDHEA-SSleep architectureBreath rate
Dysfunction
Wired and tired. Poor sleep. Can't switch off. Recovery stalled. Adrenal output disordered.
Focus
Sleep, circadian rhythm, breathwork; nervous system regulation precedes all else.
02
Gut-Immune
The interface. 70% of the immune system lives here.
In Business Terms · Operations + Risk
The gut barrier, microbiome, and mucosal immunity function as one integrated system. Pathogens, dysbiosis, and barrier dysfunction cascade into mood, hormones, inflammation, energy, and skin.
ZonulinsIgACalprotectinPancreatic elastasePathogensWBCNLR ratio
Dysfunction
Pathogens. Dysbiosis. Leaky barrier. SIBO / SIFO / IMO. Frequent infection or autoimmune activity.
Focus
Remove phase then Rebuild phase; the immune phenotype is identified before anything is actioned.
03
Lymphatic
Clearance and drainage. Where waste exits.
In Business Terms · Facilities + Waste
Liver, kidneys, bile flow, and lymphatic transit eliminate hormones, toxins, microbial debris, and metabolic waste. Impaired clearance causes systemic backup affecting oestrogen, toxin burden, inflammatory load, and cognitive function.
ALTASTGGTALPBilirubineGFRCreatinineUrea
Dysfunction
Slow clearance. Backed up oestrogen. Bile sludge. Lymphatic stagnation. Puffy under-eyes. Poor detox tolerance.
Focus
Hydration, bile flow and clearance support, movement and lymphatic drainage, guided by your liver and kidney markers.
04
Cardio-Metabolic
Mitochondria, glucose, lipids, vascular tone.
In Business Terms · Finance
Cellular energy production, insulin sensitivity, lipid handling, and cardiovascular performance depend on nervous regulation, gut integrity, and clearance. This is why we read energy against the three tiers above it before we read it on its own.
Fasting glucoseHbA1cInsulinTriglyceridesApoBhsCRPHomocysteineVO2 max
Dysfunction
Insulin resistance. Stalled metabolism. Low VO2. Elevated ApoB. Mitochondrial fatigue.
Focus
Zone 2 base building, strength training, glucose discipline, lipid management, mitochondrial support guided by lab data.
05
Endocrine-HPA
Hormones run on what the four tiers above deliver.
In Business Terms · Communications, Never First
Thyroid, sex hormones, growth axis, and HPA function depend on upstream nervous regulation, gut health, clearance, and metabolic integrity. Optimising hormones first addresses symptoms rather than root causes.
TSHFT3FT4rT3Total + Free TestosteroneEstradiolDHEA-SIGF-1Cortisol pattern
Dysfunction
Low T. "Thyroid issue". Cycle disruption. Low libido. Always read in the context of the four tiers above.
Focus
Never first; calibrate hormones only after Nervous, Gut-Immune, Lymphatic and Cardio-Metabolic are dialled in.
06
Musculoskeletal
Output. The signal everyone notices.
In Business Terms · Infrastructure
Strength, posture, joint integrity, pain patterns, and body composition reflect dysfunction in all upstream tiers. Treating joints without addressing upstream drivers creates endless cycles.
DEXA compositionBone densityGrip strengthVO2 maxFunctional movementPain mapping
Dysfunction
Stubborn pain. Slow recovery. Plateaued strength. Lost muscle. Bone density loss.
Focus
Progressive strength and load, movement quality before intensity; resolve upstream drivers before targeting joints.
