Standard medicine is designed to find disease after it arrives. It runs the same basic panel on everyone, compares your results to a population average, and calls you normal — even when you know something is wrong. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, you weren't imagining it. The tools they're using simply weren't designed to catch what's happening to you right now.
Fasting insulin creeping up. Energy tanking at 2pm. Sleep getting lighter. Weight that won't move despite doing everything right. These aren't mysteries — they're signals. But only if someone is running the right tests and actually knows how to read them.
The elimination diets. The supplements from the podcast. The fitness tracker that confirms you're exhausted. Generic programs produce generic results because they're not designed around your specific markers, your specific history, or your specific risk profile. Precision requires precision data.
What's manageable at 42 becomes structural at 52. Insulin resistance quietly advances. Inflammation accumulates. Cognitive and cardiovascular risk compounds over time. The window for proactive intervention is right now — not after a diagnosis forces your hand.
Your Starting Point
For $197, you'll walk away knowing more about your metabolic health than most people discover in a decade of annual physicals. The Snapshot targets four of the most predictive markers of chronic disease risk: inflammation, insulin efficiency, cardiovascular load, and metabolic function ... and then delivers them in a format you can actually act on. One session. One clear summary. A personalized starting point that's built around your numbers, not a population average.
hs-CRP, comprehensive metabolic panel, fasting insulin, and ApoB — the four markers that reveal what's quietly happening with your inflammation, blood sugar regulation, and cardiovascular risk right now.
A focused session with Dr. Tyler Wicks to walk through your results, explain what they mean in the context of your life, and answer the questions your regular doctor never has time for.
A clean, one-page overview of your three key health levers: inflammation, insulin efficiency, and lipid balance. Written in plain language with your specific numbers and what they mean for you.
Practical, specific recommendations across nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise — calibrated to what your labs actually show, not generic wellness advice.
Answer three quick questions first. Takes 90 seconds.
The Snapshot is an educational health-coaching service, not a medical diagnosis.
Lab testing is ordered through independent third-party laboratories.
Results reviewed for educational purposes only.

Tyler Wicks has spent years studying the intersection of metabolic health, genetic science, and functional wellness, not because a curriculum required it, but because his own family needed it.
When his wife was diagnosed with cancer, everything Tyler had been learning and teaching crystallized into something urgent and personal. He watched her move from taking her health for granted to becoming one of the most intentional, proactive people he knows. The transformation wasn't accidental. It was the result of finally having the right data, the right interpretation, and a clear plan built around her specific biology.
That experience became the foundation of everything Columbia Family Health does today.
Tyler's approach is built on a simple conviction: the standard model of healthcare waits for problems to arrive and then manages them. He's not interested in that model. He's interested in what your markers are telling you right now ... before anything goes wrong, and what you can do about it while you still have maximum leverage.
He works with a small number of clients at a time, by design. Every Snapshot review, every Legacy Map dossier, every conversation is personal. If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room, this will feel different.

The Snapshot is a targeted lab assessment focused on four of the most predictive markers of chronic disease risk — hs-CRP, comprehensive metabolic panel, fasting insulin, and ApoB. After your labs are processed, you'll have a 30-minute review with Tyler Wicks, a one-page Snapshot Summary showing where you stand on inflammation, insulin efficiency, and lipid balance, and a set of personalized action levers across nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise. It's a complete, standalone service for $197.
Standard panels are designed to rule out disease, not optimize health. They typically miss fasting insulin entirely — one of the earliest and most actionable indicators of metabolic dysfunction. They rarely include ApoB, which is a significantly more precise cardiovascular risk marker than standard LDL. The Snapshot is specifically designed around the markers that functional medicine has identified as most predictive — and the review is focused on what's optimal for you, not just what's technically normal.
No. The Snapshot is an educational health-coaching service. You don't need a referral, a diagnosis, or an existing relationship with our practice to get started. Lab testing is ordered through independent third-party laboratories and is available to you directly.
After purchase, we'll connect you with a local lab location based on your address. You'll go in for a simple fasting blood draw — typically takes less than ten minutes. Results are usually returned within a few days, at which point we'll schedule your 30-minute review with Tyler.
The Snapshot is a direct-pay educational service and is not billed through insurance. However, many clients use FSA or HSA funds to cover the cost. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility.
That's entirely up to you. Some clients take their Snapshot Summary and work with it independently. Others find that their results open up questions they want to go deeper on — in which case Tyler will walk you through your options. There's no pressure and no automatic enrollment in anything further.
No. Columbia Family Health operates as a clinical education and health-coaching service. Engaging with us does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Tyler reviews your data in an educational context — to help you understand what it means and what you can do about it. For medical treatment, diagnosis, or prescription management, you should work with your licensed physician.
