Wellness Programs

DJN offers two personalized nutrition programs: Transform and Optimize. Both programs begin with a comprehensive 75-minute initial consultation and include Metabolomics Spotlight™ and GI Spotlight™ advanced lab testing, a personalized Food Program and a comprehensive lab results review.

Transform is DJN's flagship program, providing approximately four months of personalized guidance with eight one-on-one sessions. Optimize provides approximately 6–8 weeks of focused guidance with four one-on-one sessions and is designed for clients who are comfortable implementing their personalized recommendations more independently.

Both programs are designed around your individual health goals, lifestyle and lab results rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Transform is Derek’s flagship and most comprehensive personalized nutrition program, designed for individuals who want meaningful, lasting improvements in their health, weight, energy, sleep, performance and overall wellness.

Over approximately four months, you’ll work one-on-one with Derek through eight sessions, giving you time to not only understand what your body needs, but put your personalized plan into practice with continued guidance along the way. As you make progress, Derek can evaluate how you’re responding, refine recommendations, address challenges and adjust your strategy as your needs and goals evolve.

Transform includes a comprehensive initial consultation, both advanced lab tests, a personalized Food Program, an in-depth lab results review and five progress and follow-up sessions. It’s recommended for clients who want the highest level of personalized guidance, accountability and ongoing support.

Optimize is a focused, personalized nutrition program for individuals who want deeper insight into their health and a clear strategy for improving how they feel, function and perform.

Over approximately 6–8 weeks, you’ll work one-on-one with Derek through four sessions and receive the same advanced lab testing included in Transform. Your results are used to develop personalized nutrition, Food Program and supplement recommendations when appropriate, giving you a targeted plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Optimize is ideal for clients who are comfortable putting their personalized plan into practice more independently, with one 30-minute progress and follow-up session. For clients who want more time for ongoing guidance, accountability, progress monitoring and adjustments along the way, Transform provides the more comprehensive level of support.

Both Transform and Optimize include two advanced lab tests: Metabolomics Spotlight™ and GI Spotlight™.

Metabolomics Spotlight™ provides deeper insight into how your body is producing energy and using nutrients, while GI Spotlight™ provides a detailed look at your gut microbiome and digestive health. Together, these tests give Derek valuable information he can use alongside your health history, lifestyle and goals to develop a more personalized nutrition strategy.

Both lab tests are included in the cost of your program.

Getting started is simple. Schedule a complimentary 20-minute Discovery Call with Derek to discuss your health goals, what you’d like to improve and any questions you have about working together. Derek will learn more about what you’re looking for, explain his approach and help determine whether Transform or Optimize is the best fit for your goals and desired level of support.

From there, our team will help you get everything set up so you can begin your personalized nutrition program.

The Discovery Call is a complimentary 20-minute Zoom conversation with Derek. You’ll have an opportunity to share what you’d like to improve, discuss your current health and wellness goals and ask questions about Derek’s approach and the DJN programs.

Derek will also explain the differences between Transform and Optimize and help you determine which program and level of support may be the best fit for you. There’s no obligation — the goal is to give you a clear understanding of how DJN works and what your next steps could look like.

Both Transform and Optimize include advanced lab testing, a personalized Food Program and one-on-one guidance from Derek. The main difference is the amount of time you’ll work together and the level of ongoing support you’ll receive.

Transform is Derek’s flagship and most comprehensive program. Over approximately four months, the additional progress and follow-up sessions give you more time to implement your plan with Derek’s guidance, evaluate progress, make adjustments and refine your strategy as your needs and goals evolve.

Optimize provides approximately 6–8 weeks of focused guidance and is a great fit for clients who want advanced testing and a personalized strategy but are comfortable implementing their recommendations more independently.

Your personalized nutrition journey doesn’t have to end when your initial program is complete. Many clients continue working with Derek through ongoing nutrition and wellness coaching to maintain their progress, continue working toward their goals and make adjustments as their health, lifestyle and needs evolve.

Ongoing coaching is personalized to each client and may include weekly, twice-monthly, monthly or quarterly sessions depending on your goals and desired level of support. Periodic re-testing may also be recommended when appropriate.

The goal is to build on what you’ve learned during your initial program and create a long-term approach that can evolve with you.

Yes. DJN is a virtual nutrition practice, allowing Derek to work one-on-one with clients throughout the United States and internationally. Consultations, Food Program sessions, lab reviews and follow-up appointments are conducted virtually.

Advanced lab testing is incorporated when appropriate and available, although the specific tests and laboratories used may vary based on your location and applicable regulations. For international clients, Derek may use comparable testing available through regional laboratory partners.

The specific advanced lab tests used may vary depending on where you live. Metabolomics Spotlight™ and GI Spotlight™ are included in DJN's standard Transform and Optimize programs where available, but laboratory availability, shipping and testing regulations can vary by state and country.

When these specific tests are not available in your location, Derek may use comparable advanced testing through an appropriate regional laboratory partner. The DJN team will confirm testing availability and any location-specific requirements before your program begins.
