For Australian men. Three months. From $3,990.
Sound familiar
Getting through the week is not the same as showing up for it.
- You get the job done at work, but you know you are running on less than you used to.
- You get home and there is not much left for the people who matter most.
- You train hard and recover slower than you did five years ago.
- You are doing the things that used to work, and getting less back.
- You want to be strong and sharp for your family and your work for a long time yet, and you would rather get ahead of it than wait for something to go wrong.
Nothing is broken. You are just guessing, and guessing only ever gets you through.
Why men come to us
We get it, because we see it every week.
Most men who come to us are not sick. They are successful, busy and capable, and they have simply never had anyone look at the full picture of what is driving how they feel.
You do not need to be told to sleep more and stress less. You need to see what is actually going on.

14 days on a continuous glucose monitor
A small sensor on the back of your arm reads your blood sugar every few minutes, day and night. You see exactly how your meals, training, sleep and stress land, instead of guessing from one fasting number.
See what your report shows
- Your typical day
- All 14 days laid over each other as one curve, so the pattern behind your afternoon slump or your 3am wake up shows itself
- Time in range
- How much of your day your blood sugar sits steady, and how much it spends running high or dropping low
- Every low
- Each drop below range, when it happened and how long it lasted, including the ones overnight
- Meal by meal
- Your blood sugar before each meal and for three hours after, across morning, midday, evening and night
- Day by day
- Every day on its own graph, alongside your notes on what you ate, how you trained and how you slept
- The swings
- How much your blood sugar moves around, and an estimate of the three month average a blood test would give you
A hair tissue mineral analysis
The mineral and heavy metal story a single blood test cannot show you, plus an insight into your metabolic rate, thyroid function and adrenal function.
An advanced InBody scan, for Brisbane locals
Come into the clinic for a scan on our InBody 770. It reads each arm, each leg and your trunk separately, so your plan starts from your real body composition, not your weight on the scales.
See what the scan shows
- Muscle
- Your skeletal muscle mass, and the lean muscle in each arm, each leg and your trunk
- Balance
- Whether your muscle is even left to right and upper to lower body
- Fat
- Your body fat percentage, where you carry it, and the visceral fat around your organs
- Water
- Your water inside and outside your cells, a sign of how well you are recovering
- Metabolism
- Your basal metabolic rate, the energy your body burns at rest
- Cell health
- Your phase angle, a read on how healthy and strong your cells are
A 90 minute results session
Every number is put in front of you and explained in plain language.
A plan built from your results
Focused on what your numbers show, not a generic protocol.
Three monthly follow up sessions
To put the plan into practice and adjust it as your body responds.
Direct text access to your practitioner
Between sessions, so questions get answered while they still matter.
A starter minerals and electrolytes plan
So you feel a difference from week one, before your results are even back.
How it works
Three months, start to finish. Here is exactly how it goes.
-
Step oneWeek one
We find out what is actually going on.
A kickoff call about your work, your training, your sleep and whatever has been bugging you. Then one blood draw, a hair sample you snip at home and post off, and a sensor on your arm for 14 days. Your minerals and electrolytes plan starts that same week, so you are not just sitting around waiting on results.
You come away withYour testing booked and something to do from day one.
-
Step twoA few weeks in
You see every number, and what it means for you.
Once your labs are back, we sit down for 90 minutes and go through all of it in plain English. Your testosterone. Your blood sugar, day by day. Your minerals, your biological age. You finally hear what is behind the afternoon crash, the 2am wake up and the weight around your middle that will not shift.
You come away withA plan built on your numbers: what to eat and when, how to train, how to sleep, and what to take, if anything.
-
Step threeThe months after
We make it stick, around your real life.
Three monthly follow ups to see what is working and change what is not. Between them, you text your practitioner when life happens: a work trip, a bad week, a question about a result.
You come away withA body you understand, and a plan you can run without us.
Who you work with
You are matched with your practitioner, not left to pick one.
Every program runs on the same method, the one Keriann built and trains the team in. So the question was never which of us you get. It is which of us fits your case, and that is a decision we make with you on the call.

The method does not change hands. Same testing, same sequence, same standard, whoever sits across from you. That is the whole point of running a method rather than a personality.
How It Heals exists because Keriann spent more than half her life being told her results were normal while she felt anything but. Read how that became the method →
In their words
Results you can see on paper.
I initially came to her dealing with low energy, poor digestion, histamine reactions and mild constipation. Over time, these have improved significantly, along with positive changes in my blood test results.
What I appreciate most is that [Keriann] looks beyond just diet. She has helped me address different aspects of my lifestyle and has always been supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my health.

Is this you
Built for the man who is doing fine, and is done with fine.
This is for you if
You are well and driven, nothing is wrong as such, and you want one thorough look under the bonnet and a clear plan to go from getting through to showing up.
This is not the right fit if
Your health has genuinely broken down and you need a full rebuild. Our deeper program is built for that, so book a call and we will point you to the right door.

The choice
You can keep guessing for another decade and deal with things once they have already taken hold, or you can see the full picture now, while you still have every lever to pull. The men who act early are the ones who stay strong the longest.
Not ready to commit? Book a call just to ask your questions. There is no obligation to go any further.
After three months
Imagine showing up.
- For yourselfKnowing your hormones, your metabolism and your biological age, and exactly what to do about each one.
- For your familyWalking in the door at six with something left, not just enough to get to bed.
- For your careerSharp through the afternoon meeting, not reaching for the third coffee to get there.
- For your bodyTraining and eating off a plan built from your own numbers instead of the internet.
That is the man who finishes this program.
What it costs
One program, one price.

Before you book
The questions men actually ask.
Do I have to be unwell to do this?
No. This is built for the man who is doing well and wants to optimise and protect what he has.
Is it all online?
If you need it to be. Every session can be done by telehealth, anywhere in Australia. If you are a Brisbane local, you can come into the clinic instead, and you also get an advanced body composition scan on our InBody.
What is the InBody scan?
An advanced body composition scan on our InBody 770, for men who come into our Brisbane clinic. You stand on it holding the handles for about a minute. It shows your muscle in each arm, each leg and your trunk, your body fat and the visceral fat around your organs, your water balance, your metabolic rate and your phase angle, in far more detail than a set of scales. It gives your plan a real starting point for building muscle and losing fat.
How do I do the blood test?
We send you a form to take to a collection centre near you. Go in within an hour of waking, after fasting from all food and drink other than water for 8 to 12 hours. If you take supplements, especially biotin, pause them for 3 days beforehand. We will remind you of all of this when your form arrives.
How does the hair test work?
It is done at home. We order your kit through Interclinical Laboratories and it arrives with everything you need. You snip a small sample from the back of your head, seal it in the envelope and post it back. It takes about five minutes.
What is the glucose monitor like to wear?
It is about the size of a coin and sits on the back of your arm for 14 days. Most men forget it is there within a day. You can train, swim and shower with it on, and it reads straight to an app on your phone.
How soon do I see my results?
Your results session happens a few weeks after your kickoff, once your labs are back. Your starter minerals and electrolytes plan begins straight away, so you are not waiting around in the meantime.
Is there a retest at the end?
Not in this program. The end of program retest is part of our deeper program, the Male Biological Reset.
What support do I get between sessions?
Direct text access to your practitioner, kept to a sensible cap so it stays high quality.
What if I need more?
If your results show you need the full rebuild, we will tell you in your results session and show you the next step.
You have been getting through for long enough.
One deep look, one clear plan, and the energy to show up for everything that matters.
