The interview
What is the core realization you had after starting at Upgrade Labs?
Coming to Upgrade Labs, you run into yourself and realize that your health is something that can be worked with and improved and help you love your life more and yourself more and your friends more and your work more because when we don't feel good we don't like life.
How would you describe the community and staff at the facility?
When I came to Upgrade Labs I felt men and women who really knew me and I felt like I was talking actually to many people who had experiences that I'd had. The people that we work with are so ready and so available and so excited to teach you.
How has the program impacted your schedule and budget?
In our overall budget, it costs less time and it costs less money. So we can get in here twice a week and get done what five days a week we were trying to do and couldn't get done. We're an hour away and to get the best facilities that were available in the region we were having to drive all the way here anyway so we've got a much better deal going.
What makes the Upgrade Labs approach to health data unique?
They help you work out a personal program from your cell health analysis and where else can you get that? You can get it at the doctor's office but you may not know what to do with it once you've got that. Here everything is concentrated into one place—the whole person.
What specific physical improvements have you noticed?
For me, I hurt less. I tore out my right shoulder and I tore up my right knee trying to get fit, and they both work pretty damn good. I could go on but it's like, everything's working. I'm getting better. You feel good.
Frequently asked
Is the drive to Upgrade Labs 5th St worth it for those outside Austin?
Yes. David and Aryana drive an hour from San Marcos because the facility offers unique technology and expertise not available elsewhere in the region, making the commute worthwhile for their health goals.
How does Upgrade Labs compare to a traditional gym or doctor's office?
David Armistead explains that while a doctor provides data, Upgrade Labs provides the personal coaching to act on it. They concentrate cell health analysis and physical training into one place, focusing on the 'whole person' rather than just isolated metrics.
Can biohacking help with chronic joint injuries?
David reports that after tearing his right shoulder and right knee while trying to get fit elsewhere, the protocols at Upgrade Labs have helped both joints work 'pretty damn good' and reduced his overall pain.
