I help you live a longer, richer, fuller life.

I read what your data is actually saying and turn it into a plan for the life you want.

Dr. Daniel Tagge, MD - Health Optimization Medicine Physician

Physician-led virtual direct care

I’m building this for you.

I’m building a medical practice oriented around your health, grounded in two simple beliefs: that medicine should be driven by your data, and that the relationship between physician and patient is where real change happens. If you’re trying to improve your health, or you’ve grown tired of conventional care that doesn’t have the time to know you, I’d love to talk.

Three ways to start

Pick the door that fits.

Every path leads to the same thing: a clear picture of what your biology is doing and a plan built from your data.

Not sure which is right? Start with the Call. We’ll decide together.

The deliverable

Inside the Plan.

A clinical synthesis of your health, specific to you.

  • Your priorities, ranked by impact
  • Your biology, interpreted against optimal ranges
  • Your protocol, with the reasoning behind every recommendation
  • What to track over the next thirty days

Who this is for

If any of this sounds like you.

  • Your labs are “normal,” but you don’t feel normal.
  • You’re tired of being managed instead of seen.
  • You’re tracking yourself, and you want a physician who will actually read your data.
  • You’re ready to invest seriously in your health.

Cash-pay. North Carolina. Built around relationship and data.

The Physician

Trained in disease. Practicing for health.

NC’s only certified Health Optimization Medicine physician

I’m a third-generation physician. I trained at MUSC and completed my residency at Carolinas Medical Center. I spent years inside the conventional system trying to make it work before finally leaving to build a practice oriented around health, not disease.

I’m board-certified in family medicine and fully certified in Health Optimization Medicine, the only clinical framework built around a definition of health.

From a patient

I'm an optometrist who built and sold a practice. I know what good medicine looks like and I know what it costs to deliver it. I came to Daniel after trying everything. He found bottlenecks in my metabolism that nobody had even looked for. The work he does is a different category of medicine. If you're tired of being told everything looks fine, or you know your health could be better, start here.

Questions

Common questions.

Health Optimization Medicine. It is a clinical framework built around what optimal physiological function looks like, not around the thresholds that define disease. My job is to read your data, find what is holding you back from feeling and performing your best, and build a plan to fix it.

A regular visit is built to catch disease. The reference ranges, the time on the clock, the codes that get billed: all of it is designed for that. This is built to define and improve health. I spend the time, I read all of your data, and I write a plan you can actually use.

Start with the Precision Consult if you already have data and want a one-time read and plan. Start with the Precision Workup if you want a full diagnostic baseline and a longer engagement to act on the results. The Precision Partnership is for ongoing care after that. Every path begins with a free Precision Call so we figure out the right fit together.

The Precision Consult is information-only and available anywhere in the United States. The Precision Workup and Precision Partnership involve ongoing clinical care, so they are limited to states where I am licensed (currently North Carolina).

No. I do not provide primary care or urgent care. Keep a relationship with a primary care provider. I am happy to communicate with them directly and share my recommendations.

This is a cash-pay practice. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Labs and prescriptions may be covered by your plan; I provide superbills you can submit toward your deductible.

Book a Precision Call. It is free, twenty minutes, and information-only. We figure out whether what I do fits what you need before any commitment.

The infinite game

Health is a long game.

Some things in your biology shift fast. Energy, sleep, inflammation can move in weeks when you pull the right levers. But the deeper work, your muscle, mitochondria, microbiome, resilience, takes years to build. The relationship that supports it has to last as long as the work.

That’s why I’m building a relationship-based practice, focused on health. A physician you can trust who actually knows you, your patterns, your history, your biology.

That’s the job. You’re hiring me to optimize your health over the long term. The work compounds when the relationship does.

Healthspan is what we are after. Longevity is its echo.
