Despite eating well and trying to exercise, still the weight won't move, your energy is unpredictable, and nothing seems to stick.
Metabolic Reset™ is a physician-designed, 6-month clinical program that identifies exactly why your metabolism isn’t working using advanced testing, real lab data, and a personalized protocol then gives you a step-by-step plan to fix it.

Who This Is For.
Weight-loss resistant adult
Despite trying strict diets, cutting calories, maybe even GLP-1s and you’re still not getting the results or the lasting metabolic change you’re after. Something deeper is going on.
High-performer running on empty
Standard blood work might come back looking completely normal but you feel anything but. Brain fog, energy crashes, poor recovery, low drive your body isn’t keeping up with who you’re trying to be.
Longevity-minded investor
Recognizing that metabolic health determines your trajectory. You want the data VO2Max, RMR, body composition, biomarkers and a real plan to optimize it.
Pre-diabetic or insulin-resistant patient
When HbA1c levels creep upward, your fasting insulin is elevated, and your doctor said “watch your diet.” You want more than a warning you want a reversal protocol.
GLP-1 graduate
Successful weight loss using semaglutide but you want to keep it off and build actual metabolic health not just depend on a drug. We build the foundation you need to sustain it.
The 40s–60s adult facing change
Hormones shifting, muscle harder to maintain, fat easier to gain these aren’t excuses, they’re biology. And biology responds to the right interventions.
Weight gain despite eating reasonably.
Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix.
HbA1c between 5.4–6.4%.
Fasting insulin above 10 µIU/mL.
Can’t lose fat despite caloric restriction.
Brain fog or unpredictable energy.
Belly fat that won’t respond to exercise.
Post-40 body composition changes.
Poor recovery from workouts.
Want real data not just a scale.
The Real Problem
Most metabolic dysfunction isn’t about willpower. It’s about broken signals dysregulated insulin, suppressed fat oxidation, cortisol patterns that destroy muscle and store fat, a gut microbiome that’s working against you, and genetic variants that change how your body processes everything from carbohydrates to caffeine.
“Your standard labs are 'normal' because normal ranges were designed to detect disease not optimize health.”
That’s why most people plateau. They’re treating the symptom the weight, the fatigue without ever identifying the mechanism. We identify the mechanism. Then we fix it.
Insulin resistance at the cellular level before it shows on standard labs.
Fat oxidation capacity are you actually burning fat, or just burning sugar?
Mitochondrial dysfunction why your energy production has declined.
HPA-axis dysregulation cortisol patterns that signal your body to store fat.
Sex hormone metabolism how estrogen and testosterone are actually being used.
Gut dysbiosis microbiome imbalances driving inflammation and cravings.
Genetic variants nutrigenomic factors that change how you should eat.
True resting metabolic rate so your caloric targets are actually accurate.
Cardiovascular fitness your VO2Max as a direct proxy for longevity.
How It Works
Every visit with Chip Nguyen, NP is a focused clinical checkpoint reviewing your data, refining your protocol, and keeping you accountable. Between visits, you’re never flying blind. Dr. Scott Gillin, MD oversees your entire clinical plan.
Complete health history, VO2Max testing, RMR/RER metabolic cart, Evolt 360 body composition, grip strength, waist/hip/thigh measurements. Nutrition Rx, Exercise Rx, and supplement protocol established. GLP-1 and peptide candidacy assessed.
Full conditional lab review GI-MAP, DUTCH, Theriome metabolomics if ordered. Evolt 360 re-scan. CGM data analysis if enrolled. First protocol adjustment based on how your body is actually responding.
Mid-program reassessment across all symptom domains. Energy, sleep, cognition, recovery, body composition trend analysis. Fine-tuning of all prescriptions. GLP-1 dose optimization if applicable.
Begin designing your maintenance protocol. Identify remaining gaps. Optimize the final 6 weeks for maximum graduation metrics. Peptide cycle completion. Long-term GLP-1 plan established.
VO2Max retest. RMR/RER retest. Final Evolt 360 scan. Repeat comprehensive labs. Grip strength retest. All circumference measurements. You receive your Metabolic Reset™ Outcome Summary side-by-side comparison of every metric. Maintenance protocol finalized.

Metabolic Reset™ is designed by Scott Gillin, MD. He is a board-certified doctor with IFM functional medicine training and the founder of Seaside Longevity in Cardiff and Encinitas. Crucially, this is not a telehealth subscription. Instead, this is a doctor-led, data-driven health plan.
Furthermore, your clinic visits are led by Chip Nguyen, NP. Dr. Gillin oversees every lab test, prescription, and peptide or GLP-1 decision. As a result, you have a real medical team supporting you, not an algorithm.

Most programs track your weight. In contrast, we look much deeper into your physical health. Specifically, we track your exact fitness levels, fat-burning rate, and muscle mass index. In addition, our team monitors deep belly fat and hand grip strength. As a result, we can check your insulin health, cell energy levels, and hormone patterns.
Our tailored Nutrition Rx relies strictly on your unique RMR and RER data, completely replacing generic calorie tracking apps. Furthermore, your custom Exercise Rx is built directly around your specific VO2Max tier. Finally, the target supplement plan we build for you is triggered dynamically by your real lab results.
Programs like Biograph and Human Longevity Inc. run $7,500–$8,000 for similar data. Telehealth platforms like Lifeforce send you a generic protocol based on a questionnaire. We offer clinical rigor at a fraction of the cost because we’re in your neighborhood.

Common Questions
Where is the Metabolic Reset program located, and do I need to visit the clinic in person?
What is the difference between the Metabolic Reset program and a standard doctor's visit?
A standard doctor's visit lasts only 15 minutes. During this time, your doctor only checks basic symptoms to find active diseases. In contrast, the Metabolic Reset™ is a complete six-month program. To do this, we use deep health tests, genetics, and body scans. Because of this, we can find the exact cause of your slow metabolism. For example, we check for low energy, insulin resistance, or hormone issues. Then, we update your custom plan using your real data.
Does health insurance cover the cost of the Seaside Longevity Metabolic Reset program?
Can I participate in the Metabolic Reset program if I am already taking a GLP-1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Many of our patients already take GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. Fortunately, our clinical team can completely manage your ongoing dosage. In addition, we build a strong, healthy base around your medication. As a result, you will protect your muscle mass and fix deep health issues. Finally, we create a safe exit strategy so you can keep the weight off permanently.
How is Metabolic Reset different from online telehealth or longevity platforms like Lifeforce?
Most online health websites usually rely on simple forms. After that, they mail you a standard package of vitamins. In contrast, Metabolic Reset™ gives you real, in-person medical care. To do this, we measure your actual health data using physical equipment. For example, we track your exact fat-burning rate and muscle mass. Because of this, we can build a highly custom plan at a fraction of the price of big corporate clinics.
What happens after the 6 months?
When you graduate, you will receive a complete maintenance plan and a printed summary of your results. Additionally, you have the option to continue with quarterly check-ins. These visits include a doctor review, an Evolt 360 scan, and basic lab tests. As a result, most of our graduates choose this ongoing monitoring to protect their long-term results.
Metabolic Reset™ gives you a complete clinical picture of your metabolism, a team that knows your data, and a personalized protocol designed to fix the actual cause not just manage the symptoms.
