Your biology has a story.Nobody has read it yet.
Your labs come back normal. You don't feel normal. That gap is where most of modern medicine stops looking. I read deeper. 250+ biomarkers across cellular energy, hormone metabolism, gut function, and inflammation. Every finding interpreted by a physician. Every recommendation traceable to your data.
Your physician
Board-certified.Metabolomics-trained.Built for this.
I'm a third-generation physician. Board-certified in Family Medicine. One of a small number of U.S. physicians fully trained in Health Optimization Medicine. I left conventional medicine because the fifteen-minute appointment had no room for what I actually knew about how cells work. This practice was built around the opposite premise. Start with the deepest possible picture of your biology. Interpret it at the systems level. Hold every recommendation accountable to the data that justified it.
“Conventional medicine taught me to diagnose disease. Health Optimization Medicine taught me to detect health.”
— Dr. Daniel Tagge
The process
We measure what matters. And build you a personalized Precision Health Plan based on your data.
01
Measure
A comprehensive metabolomic workup. Blood, urine, and stool where indicated. 250+ biomarkers across seven biological systems. Panels shipped to your door.
02
Compare
Your biomarkers read against optimal physiology, not disease-detection cutoffs. The difference between ‘you don’t have a diagnosis’ and ‘your biology is functioning.’
03
Balance
A written Precision Health Plan. Findings prioritized. Every recommendation assigned a mechanism and an evidence tier. Nothing in the protocol that can't be justified by the data.
Patients who have worked with me
What changes when someone finally reads the whole story.
“He’s one of the good ones that don’t throw pills at everything and really try to find the root cause while making a personalized plan.”
Katie C.
“He stays invested in my ongoing care. Always looking for underlying reasons for certain symptoms and doesn’t just throw medicine at me. He is always looking for ways to better myself for not only the short term but the long term.”
Krystle R.
“He is a passionate and caring Doctor. He has really changed my life and motivated me when I was down about my struggles with weight.”

What your data reveals
Most labs check for disease. We read the whole picture.
Cellular energy
How your cells produce ATP. Carbohydrate processing, fatty acid oxidation, and TCA cycle function measured directly.
Hormone metabolism
Not just levels. Metabolites. Estrogen clearance pathways, cortisol patterns, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal output.
Digestive health
Where chronic inflammation starts. Digestion, absorption, microbiome composition, and short-chain fatty acids.
Nutrient utilization
Whether nutrients are reaching your cells. B-vitamin enzyme function, methylation status, and functional deficiencies standard panels miss.
Environmental burden
Heavy metals, mycotoxins, and organic pollutant metabolites that accumulate below clinical thresholds.
Cardiovascular risk
The markers that predict events, not just cholesterol. ApoB, Lp(a), NMR particle counts, and advanced lipoprotein phenotyping.
The cost of waiting
Every year without a baseline is a year of decisions made blind.
Supplements that may or may not be doing anything. Hormone levels that drift below optimal before anyone thinks to measure them. Mitochondrial function that declines quietly for a decade before it shows up as ‘fatigue’ nobody can explain. The interventions that take six weeks in your forties take six months in your sixties. You do not have to keep guessing.
