Mind. Body. System.
Most doctors treat symptoms. We treat the operating system underneath them.
Three cornerstones — nervous system recalibration, calibrated diagnostics, continuous monitoring — delivered by emergency physicians. For professionals in the fight, and the ones asking what comes next.
For the Professionals in the Fight.
Different roles. Balancing the sympathetic nervous system that carried you here will determine how the next 50 years feel.
Health Care Providers
ER, trauma, surgery, critical care. Mid-career through pre-retirement.
Military & Special Operations
Active duty and veteran. Professionals who deployed long, recovered little, and are still going.
First Responders & Law Enforcement
EMS, flight teams, tactical medics, patrol, SWAT, federal agents.
Backcountry & Endurance Athletes
Bowhunters, mountaineers, ultra runners, expedition climbers. The work doesn't end at the trailhead.
Founders & Executives
Leaders running on pressure. The career compounded. So did the load.
Professionals Re-Calibrating
Late-career professionals winding down the run. Looking for balance, agency, and what comes next.
An Unbalanced Nervous System Runs the Show.
Resilience is something we never thought we'd need in residency or special operations. It's not soft — it's the foundation of agency, of gathering power back into your own system.
Fight-or-flight, on by default.
Where most professionals live.
- 01Metabolic DysfunctionInsulin resistance, weight gain, energy crashes.
- 02Hormonal DisruptionCortisol elevated. Testosterone, thyroid, and sex hormones suppressed.
- 03Cardiovascular StrainElevated resting heart rate. Inflammation. Long-term cardiac risk.
- 04Sleep CollapseDeep sleep disappears. REM shortens. Recovery never completes.
Rest-and-repair, on by design.
The Forge target state.
- 01Metabolic RecoveryInsulin sensitivity restored. Steady energy across the day.
- 02Hormonal RestorationCortisol regulated. Testosterone, thyroid, and sex hormones return to range.
- 03Cardiovascular RepairLower resting heart rate. HRV improves. Inflammation drops.
- 04Deep Sleep RestoredDeep and REM cycles complete. Body and brain repair on schedule.
We identify the imbalances before they become the symptom — burnout, fatigue, anxiety.
Three Cornerstones. One Custom Protocol.
We identify the operating system and calibrate the diagnostics and monitoring around it.
Nervous System Rebalance
Structured 60 to 90 minute sessions with your physician. We identify the spiritual and parasympathetic barriers holding the system in fight-or-flight, so recovery can actually begin. The work that determines whether the rest of the protocol holds.
The Inner WorkCalibrated Diagnostics
Customized for your unique physiology, genetic make-up, metabolic, endocrine, and cardiovascular needs. One size does not fit all. Customized with your unique nervous system baseline — not a population average.
The EvidenceContinuous Monitoring
Daily biometric signal via Garmin. Sleep, recovery, training load, HRV — read by your physician and adapted to your protocol.
The SignalYour Playbook.
Comprehensive sessions with your physician. Diagnostics in parallel. From those inputs we build your personal field manual — calibrated to your biology and how you actually live.
A complete map of you. A manual of resilience.
- 01
The Inner Work
Your nervous system regulation protocol. The specific work, sequenced and scheduled, that the rest of the plan is built around.
- 02
Your Baseline
Full biomarker map, body composition, cardiopulmonary capacity, history. Read in the context of what the inner work surfaced, not against a population average.
- 03
The Protocol
Targeted clinical interventions, supplementation, training load, and recovery prescriptions, calibrated to both the baseline and the inner work.
- 04
The Signal
What we're tracking on your wearable, what each metric means for you specifically, and when we adjust.
- 05
The Road Map
Quarterly recalibration plan. Annual reassessment. The next thirty years on paper.
The Work is Communal.
Forge connects you to other professionals.
Sustainable change is discovered in community.

Built From What We Lived.
We built this for ourselves first.
Forge Medicine grew from our own journey as physicians working in high-stress, high-stakes environments. We spent years searching for better ways to improve our own resilience, recovery, performance, and balance while navigating the demands of career, family, and service.
The Forge Method combines decades of medical practice, personal experience, performance training, and wellness education into a clear, evidence-based roadmap for better health. We built it to provide the guidance we wish we had earlier in our own careers — and to help others realize their full potential.
Dr. David Hile, MD
Co-Founder & Physician
Spent two decades reading what high-performance bodies do under stress — and what breaks. Forge is the practice he built around what actually holds up over time.
Dr. Ben Peery, MD
Co-Founder & Physician
EMS, and Medical Director. Built his career treating frontline workers, military, law enforcement, and high performers in crisis — now treating them before the crisis hits.
You ask. We answer.
Membership, pricing, diagnostics, and what's actually included. No fluff.
Begin Your Journey→Three tiers, differentiated by access and depth of ongoing optimization. Every tier includes comprehensive diagnostics, your personalized protocol, and direct physician contact. Pricing is discussed on your consultation call.
Concierge primary care gives you better access to a generalist. Longevity clinics run lab protocols without an ongoing physician relationship. Forge runs a structured method — nervous system regulation, calibrated diagnostics, and continuous monitoring — delivered by physicians who built it around what holds up under load.
Yes. Forge is not a replacement for insurance — keep your coverage for emergencies, specialists, and hospitalization. We handle primary care, optimization, and the daily relationship. Your insurance handles everything else.
Depends on your tier. Core: email, 48-hour response. Elite: direct physician messaging. Executive: on-demand access. Every tier means direct physician contact — not a nurse line, not a portal queue.
Advanced bloodwork (lipids, hormones, metabolic, inflammation), DEXA, VO₂ max, resting metabolic rate, EKG, and full history intake. Reviewed together by your physician to build your baseline. Not delivered as a PDF dump.
