The n=1 Process
At enov.one, our n=1 Process provides a comprehensive customized health program, guiding you towards optimal well-being, performance, and longevity. Our approach is rooted in the principles of personalized, functional medicine, focusing on individualized care and proactive wellness.
This journey is designed to harmonize various aspects of your health, from foundational elements like sleep and nutrition to advanced areas such as cellular regeneration and cognitive performance.
Each step of this program is tailored to your unique needs, symptoms, and biology, ensuring a personalized experience that addresses your specific health goals.
We believe in an integrative approach, where every aspect of your health is interconnected and vital to achieving your highest potential in physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
As we embark on this journey together, we will continuously monitor and adapt your personalized plan, ensuring that it remains aligned with your evolving health needs, biodata, and life circumstances. We are here to support you every step of the way, empowering you with knowledge, tools, and strategies to achieve and maintain your optimal state of health.
This order starts with foundational elements of health and progresses towards more targeted and specific goals. It’s important to note that the specific needs and priorities can vary widely between individuals, and your program will be designed specifically for you. Additionally, many of these pillars are interrelated and will be approached in an integrated manner.
Fundamental Biology. Historic Lab Report. Baseline Testing.
Our approach is grounded in what we call the “tripod approach,” which involves a comprehensive evaluation of three critical components: genetics, blood labs, and deep medical interviews. This methodology aims to uncover the root cause (endophenotype) of a patient’s symptoms, ensuring a thorough understanding of their unique biological makeup.
Genetics
By analyzing your genetic information, we can identify inherent predispositions to certain health conditions and tailor preventive or therapeutic interventions accordingly. This helps us understand how your body might respond to different treatments and environmental factors. Your genetics form the blueprint of your biology. Assessing and understanding this blueprint gives you hyper-precision in exploring treatment options.
Blood Labs
Regular and detailed blood tests provide insights into your current physiological state. These tests can reveal imbalances, deficiencies, or markers of disease that might not be apparent through symptoms alone. By tracking these metrics over time, we can gauge the effectiveness of interventions and adjust your personalized health plan as needed. Observing the historic trendlines in your blood data can also reveal actionable hidden patterns and uncover vital opportunities to course-correct.
Deep Medical Interviews
In-depth discussions about your health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms allow us to contextualize the data from genetic and blood tests. These interviews help us to understand the environmental, emotional, and psychological factors that might be influencing your health. This holistic perspective is crucial for developing a truly personalized and effective treatment plan.
By integrating these three components, we can develop a nuanced and dynamic understanding of your health, allowing us to provide highly personalized and effective care. This tripod approach ensures that all aspects of your health are considered, creating a solid foundation for achieving optimal well-being.
What is n=1?
The term “n=1” refers to a personalized approach to health and wellness, where the focus is on an individual as a unique case study. In scientific research, “n” denotes the sample size, so “n=1” means a study of one subject. This concept emphasizes that every person’s health journey is distinct and should be treated as such, rather than applying generalized solutions.
The 10 Pillars of Health
The n=1 Process covers the following 10 pillars:
- Sleep and Stress Management: Fundamental for cognitive function, hormone balance, and overall health.
- Personalized Nutrition and Gut Health: Essential for nutrient absorption, immune function, and metabolic health.
- Detoxification and Oxidative Balance: Important for reducing environmental toxin load and managing cellular oxidative stress.
- Metabolic and Energetic Health: Focusing on energy production, metabolic efficiency, and weight management.
- Hormonal and Neurotransmitter Balance: Regulating hormones and neurotransmitters for mood, cognition, and overall wellness.
- Immune Function and Autoimmunity: Managing and supporting immune health to prevent and address chronic conditions.
- Physical Fitness and Mobility: Enhancing physical strength, flexibility, endurance, and mobility.
- Cognitive and Mental Performance: Improving memory, focus, and mental clarity.
- Longevity and Cellular Health: Implementing strategies for healthy aging and cellular regeneration.
- Holistic Wellness and Lifestyle Optimization: Including sexual wellness, allergy management, and overall lifestyle adjustments for optimal health, fertility, and performance.
Patient Onboarding Process
Initial Consultation:
We begin by sending an in-depth intake questionnaire and reviewing your detailed medical history. This includes requesting your recent lab work and electronic medical records. During this step, you will discuss your goals, challenges, and desired outcomes from this program. This information will guide our AI Concierge towards designing a personalized protocol to match your goals, symptoms, and unique biology.
In-Depth Diagnostics:
At the time of the initial intake, the AI Concierge will requisition comprehensive genetic testing as well as any additional diagnostic tests needed for making personalized recommendations. The average wait time for genetic testing is 17 business days. The average wait time for diagnostics is 7-14 business days.
Personalized Program Design:
The creation of your personalized program requires an in-depth analysis of your diagnostic testing. After results are received, the AI Concierge will instantly integrate these data into an updated program designed specifically for your unique biology and needs.
Program Initiation and Monitoring:
From the initiation of your program until the completion, we will be monitoring your progress through short interviews and wearable integrations. Depending on the length of your program, we may re-test your bloodwork to evaluate your progress or suggest follow-up labs to suggest new treatment pathways.
Program Refinement & Follow-Up Diagnostics
Periodic follow-up lab tests will be recommended to ensure that vital biomarkers remain within optimal ranges. Based on these results, we will continue to fine-tune your program to align with your evolving health goals and needs, ensuring that each step of your journey is calibrated for maximum efficacy and benefit.
Summary
The n=1 concept emphasizes individualized health and wellness, treating each person as a unique case study rather than applying generalized solutions. Enov.one’s n=1 Process tailors comprehensive health programs based on personalized, functional medicine principles. This approach integrates sleep, nutrition, cellular regeneration, and cognitive performance, customized to each individual’s biology, symptoms, and goals. Utilizing a “tripod approach”—genetics, blood labs, and deep medical interviews—enov.one aims to uncover root causes of health issues, ensuring a personalized treatment plan. The program covers ten health pillars and involves continuous monitoring and adjustments based on regular diagnostics and patient feedback.
