Minneapolis Comprehensive and Preventive Medicine

Proactive medicine for a longer, healthier life.

Archetype Medicine is a physician-led clinic for people who want to perform better, live longer, and stay ahead of disease — not just wait for something to go wrong. If you're active and care about how your body performs, or you're focused on longevity and want a complete clinical picture — including cardiovascular health, metabolic function, body composition, and cognitive performance — we help you understand what's happening and build a clear, personalized plan around it.

Healthcare is fragmented and reactive.
Clarity changes outcomes.

Most people leave their appointments with more questions than answers — scattered results, rushed visits, and advice that doesn't connect. Archetype brings everything into one integrated model: physician evaluation, interpretation, nutrition strategy, and performance planning. The result isn't just better data. It's knowing what matters, what to do about it, and feeling like someone is genuinely in your corner.

Why It Works

Physician-Led

Board-certified physician judgment — not algorithms or referrals to referrals — guiding every decision from interpretation to plan.

Not Insurance-Driven

Time, depth, and diagnostics chosen around your health outcomes, not billing codes or covered-service lists.

Integrated Team

Physician, dietitian, and performance specialist working together so every part of your plan reinforces the others.

Ongoing Optimization

Regular monitoring and refinement so your plan stays current as your body, your goals, and your life evolve.

Health Authorship Series

Before the Numbers, We Start With You

Reflection changes how you engage with your own health. Before any result is reviewed, you work through a structured set of questions — where your health has been, where it stands today, why you're here, and where you want to go. Putting that into writing isn't administrative. It's the first act of owning your health rather than having health care happen to you.

The intake closes with an Authorship Statement — a plain, first-person declaration of what better health would make possible in your life. Writing it down matters. People who articulate what they're working toward, in their own words, stay more committed to the work. That's the point of authorship: your health becomes something you're actively building, not passively receiving.

The series doesn't end at your evaluation. Follow-up questionnaires at 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months bring you back to the same essential questions — tracking how your thinking has shifted, keeping you oriented toward your goals, and giving the care team what they need to adapt your plan as your life and priorities evolve.

Initial

Before your evaluation

Every patient

Four reflection questions on your health history, where you are now, why you're here, and what you're working toward — followed by your Authorship Statement: a written commitment to what better health would make possible.

90-Day

At your 90-day physician review

Every patient

A follow-up questionnaire that revisits your authorship: what's shifted, what you've noticed, and how your thinking has changed. Keeps you oriented toward what you said you were building.

6-Month

Mid-year check-in

Membership

For Foundation and Optimize members, a mid-year authorship update the care team uses to refine ongoing plans and address evolving goals.

12-Month

Annual review

Membership

A full authorship review at one year — reflecting on the arc of the past 12 months and setting intentions for the year ahead.

How It Works

A complete understanding of your health.

The model is simple: understand deeply, interpret carefully, then implement consistently. The goal is for your results review to be the clearest conversation you've ever had about your own health.

01

Initial Evaluation & Diagnostics

Before any data is reviewed, you complete the Health Authorship intake — a structured reflection on your history, priorities, and goals that the physician reads first. From there: an unhurried physical exam and the advanced diagnostics that fit your situation — DEXA, VO₂ max, coronary calcium, advanced bloodwork, and more.

02

Personalized Plan

Your physician walks you through every finding — in plain language, without rushing — and delivers the Executive Health Report: a scored, written clinical document covering cardiovascular health, body composition, movement and performance capacity, metabolic function, sleep, nutrition, and more — with a prioritized 90-day roadmap built specifically around your data.

03

90-Day Review & Beyond

At day 90, every patient returns for a physician review — tracking what changed and setting the next direction. Foundation and Optimize membership extend that support for those who want continued team involvement over the long term.

What Changes

Clarity is not a small thing. When you understand what your body needs — and why — everything becomes easier to act on.

The Deliverable

The Executive Health Report.

Every evaluation ends with a written report — authored by your physician, scored across the health domains covered by your chosen workup, and structured around what you specifically need to focus on over the next 90 days. It's not a printout of lab values. It's a clinical document built for you.
