Follow-up questions they answered
- Can Healthspan Collective help with perimenopause symptoms when doctors say everything is normal?
- Yes. Trisha Kwan noted that while her doctors dismissed her symptoms as a normal part of being 45, Healthspan Collective provided tools and services to address her specific hormonal needs through testing rather than the 'runaround' of standard care. — Trisha Kwan
- Is Healthspan Collective just another diet and exercise program?
- No. Trisha Kwan explains that it is a lifestyle shift that moves away from the 'calories in, calories out' mentality. It focuses on how cells work, hormonal testing, and the integration of mind, body, and spirit. — Trisha Kwan
- What is the community like at Healthspan Collective events?
- Trisha Kwan describes the community as highly motivated, driven, and encouraging. She found it valuable to be around people who share a similar 'optimal' mindset, especially when her existing social circle didn't discuss health in the same way. — Trisha Kwan
- Is the cost of an Upgrade Labs membership worth the investment?
- Andrew Facca states the value is worth 100 times the cost because it provides access to millions of dollars in equipment, like $150,000 machines, for an inexpensive monthly fee. He emphasizes that the time saved in achieving health goals makes the membership highly valuable. — Andrew Facca
- What kind of results can I expect from the technology at Upgrade Labs?
- According to Andrew Facca, the technology provides data-driven confirmation of health status, including bone mineral density and hydration levels. He personally experienced feeling 'way better' after red light therapy and saw measurable changes in his biological age. — Andrew Facca
