Wild Health’s individual health optimization plan is developed through a comprehensive data-driven analysis that may include:

- Blood testing to evaluate lipids, thyroid function, cardiovascular risks, hormone status, minerals, vitamins, and other factors affecting health and performance.
- Longevity analysis to gauge a person’s biologic age through a DNA methylation test kit that is combined with genomic and blood test results.
- Lifestyle review that encompasses exercise routines, eating habits, family and social life, sleep patterns, hobbies, recreational activities, and goals.
“We’ve seen the power of precision medicine impact thousands - from diabetes to helping pro athletes reach career peaks,” said Matt Dawson, CEO of Wild Health. “We’re thrilled to support USA Boxing with this cutting edge practice of medicine and help our nation’s premier athletes continue to optimize and maximize their health and performance - in and out of the ring.”
