Cohort 01

Find your best operating mode.

Regulations took healthcare out of your hands.
You can take the measurement back.

Learn faster what actually works for you:

  • Continuous monitors + multiomics to track change across several organs
  • Borrowed Noise® to see your own result, not the average
  • Several interventions compared head to head

Join Somaforming cohort 01, where we measure the personal efficiency of performance protocols.

Find out what would help you sleep better, recover more, in less time. You, not the average.

Calibration

A blinded 2-day placebo-vs-caffeine probe, four 6-minute sessions a day. You find out whether you are even a caffeine responder. Most people in this cohort have never tested it.

Baseline

14 days, 4 sessions a day, ring worn every night. We compute your own noise and, from it, how long your trial actually has to run.

Interventions

Blinded blocks, identical capsules, order randomised and held by a third party. Three arms from us, one chosen with your practitioner.

$0 to start. $5,000 total, paid stage by stage, only if you pass the stage before it.

How selection works

  1. A 2-day calibration test (placebo vs. caffeine) to evaluate participant compliance.

    Free if you qualify

    Only 32 admitted to phase 1 based on baseline similarity

  2. A 14-day caffeine test to measure individual baseline noise and trial duration

    $1,500

    Only 16 admitted to phase 2 based on baseline similarity

  3. An intervention testing phase (3 from us + 1 together with your practitioner)

    $3,500

    Only 12 graduate and set noise baseline

If our instrument cannot distinguish caffeine from placebo on you, you are refunded and you do not pay for the next phase.

The full protocol, including what we will not claim, is at the protocol page.

Cohort 01 is 35–60. Outside that range we keep you on the list for cohort 02.

Yes, this is expensive.

Not everyone can afford it. Without relevant peers there is no personalisation — that is the constraint, not a policy.

If we find a way to finance $25k for people on the waiting list, we start sooner.
