(r)evolutionizing wellness.
Hearth Science is a translational and clinical research firm focused on Autonomic Physiology and Indigenous Lifeways, developing the world’s most powerful tools for activating the root drivers of human flourishing and removing the obstacles to wellbeing.
Look around at the world today, and it is obvious that people are surrounded by cues of threat: from family dysfunction to economic uncertainty to political instability to social upheaval to environment catastrophe.
Our bodies respond to threat through stress.
Over time, stress becomes stress-related disorders, including addiction, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, suicidality, gastro-intestinal illness and disease, complex chronic illness, traumatic stress disorders, auto-immune disease, and sleep difficulties: all of which are increasing at an unprecedented rate.
The common denominator of all of these conditions is deviation of the Autonomic Nervous System from our ancestral baseline in safety and connection.
Modern medicine and mental health are not able to effectively diagnose or treat stress-related disorders at their roots because
a) they conceptualize these ailments as existing in siloes (e.g., psychiatric problems versus digestive issues), and
b) because neither modern medicine nor mental health correctly conceptualizes stress-related disorders.
Hearth Science is charting a new path in addressing the roots of stress-related disorders that is focused on turning on the root drivers of human flourishing.
Based on 28 years of trans-disciplinary clinical research, refined over nearly 3,000 trainings, crowdsourced from 5,000 wellness professionals, and with input from more than 100 mentors and advisors, including mentorship and advising from a dozen of the world’s leading experts on connection and wellbeing including

we have developed the world’s most refined clinically-applied General Autonomic physiology model.
This tradecraft undergirds our diagnostics and clinical intervention product ecologies. We have applied it with 15,000 patients and clients in 50 countries with astonishing results.
From it we have elaborated a highly effective, scalable, and low-cost diagnosis and treatment model effective with any stress-related disorders. It changes the ways clinicians diagnose, treat, and manage patient/client care. It decreases diagnostic costs exponentially, and produces superior clinical outcomes. We are positioning ourselves to become the category-defining company and global benchmark in this space.
“More transformation took place in that one session [with the Autonomic Treatment Atlas] than all of the work I've done with her [my client] in the past year.
This changes everything.”
