EXAMINE is The EPOCH Programme calibrated to the corporate executive. It is a deep-dive into the metabolic biology that determines cognitive sharpness, energy stability and long-arc resilience at the most demanding levels of professional performance.
Most chronic disease in the second half of life is the late expression of a single underlying biology, namely smouldering chronic inflammation, driven by metabolic dysfunction, deeply entangled with the gut microbiome. Addressed early, through what we eat, how we sleep and how we move, this biology is genuinely modifiable. The result is decades of energy, sharpness and capacity.
EXAMINE, BALANCE, ORIGIN and TRANSITION are the four calibrations of a single clinical programme. They run on the same clinical engine, bespoked to your life stage and need. What changes between them is the clinical calibration, not the structure and not the price.
Every calibration begins with the EPOCH Metabolic Lifestyle Questionnaire, which incorporates the internationally validated RAND-36 health survey, capturing how you actually feel and function across physical and mental dimensions. Alongside it: a comprehensive biomarker panel and microbiome analysis. The programme then runs across twelve weeks, delivered online, with live bespoke webinars and one-to-one access to Robin, the consultant physician, and Amanda, the senior specialist dietitian. A single continuous glucose monitoring period during the twelve weeks shows how your metabolism behaves across real days, and is calibrated to drive engagement with the preventive work. The questionnaire, biomarkers and microbiome analysis are repeated at the close of the programme, so change is measured rather than assumed.
The EPOCH Metabolic Lifestyle Questionnaire at baseline and at twelve weeks. A comprehensive biomarker panel, drawn at the start and repeated at the close. Microbiome composition and diversity analysis. One continuous glucose monitoring period during the twelve weeks, with clinical interpretation. Twelve weeks of structured online support. Live bespoke webinars across the five pillars of nutrition, sleep, movement, mind and connection. One-to-one clinical access to Robin and Amanda across the twelve weeks. A bespoke nutrition plan and recipe library. A personal lifestyle plan calibrated to your findings. An in-person introductory day. A full re-test and clinical review at twelve weeks. Continued support beyond ninety days available by request.
Senior professional performance depends on an underlying biology that conventional executive health checks do not examine. Cognitive sharpness across long days, stable energy without the afternoon collapse, recovery between high-demand periods, and the resilience to sustain all of it across a long career: every one of these is a consequence of metabolic and inflammatory biology. EXAMINE calibrates the clinical engine to that context.
It is designed for executives, partners and senior leaders who want their performance examined at the level of the underlying biology, not reassured by a standard panel. The continuous glucose monitoring period is particularly revealing here: it shows exactly how energy and focus track the metabolic response to real working days. EXAMINE is the calibration most often commissioned by organisations for their senior people, and it sits naturally alongside the corporate engagement pathway.
EXAMINE opens with an in-person introductory day for the executive cohort. Participants on the EXAMINE calibration meet others undertaking the same programme, and the cohorts for each calibration do not mix. The day sets the clinical foundation, introduces the team and the twelve-week structure, and begins the cohort relationship that runs through the programme.
EXAMINE is frequently commissioned by organisations for senior staff. Cohort arrangements and volume terms are set per engagement. The corporate conversation begins through the For Your Organisation pathway.
EXAMINE is available at two levels. The twelve-week online programme, at £4,850, delivers the full clinical engine, the deep-dive biomarker and microbiome analysis, the continuous glucose monitoring and the one-to-one clinical access, online across twelve weeks. The residential optimum, at £13,500, delivers the same clinical engine residentially at Lucknam Park, under the four conditions that make behaviour change hold: removal from environment, concentrated engagement, social context and protected cognitive bandwidth.
The residential optimum for EXAMINE is IMMERSE, the executive performance cohort. Each residential cohort is held separately, so the room holds only participants on the same calibration. Additional clinical assessment, such as imaging, is available where clinically indicated. IMMERSE is the most complete way to undertake the EXAMINE work.
“In the current climate, where metabolic health is at the heart of so many chronic conditions, Dr Fackrell's message felt not just relevant but essential.”
GP, Surrey“Amanda Overeynder made everything extremely clear, and her use of evidence-based research was so reassuring.”
Helen, Bath“Robin and Amanda are impressive in their own right but as a team they are exceptional.”
