Question 1

Am I required to travel to a Humanaut Health clinic?

Accepted Answer

The Executive Physical is available at any Humanaut Health clinic. Many participants choose to make it a focused two-day health retreat, combining a thorough diagnostic experience with time to reset.

Question 2

Are peptides safe?

Accepted Answer

When prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, peptide therapy is generally well tolerated. Protocols are designed to align with your biology and adjusted as needed.

Question 3

Are prescriptions and supplements included in my membership?

Accepted Answer

Path includes prescription management for hormones, peptides, and supplements. With Bond, everything Dr. Navarro prescribes — hormones, supplements, and advanced diagnostics — is fully covered in your membership. No add-ons, no itemized charges.

Question 4

Are prescriptions and supplements included in my membership?

Accepted Answer

Path includes prescription management for hormones, peptides, and supplements. With Bond, everything Dr. Navarro prescribes, including hormones, supplements, and advanced diagnostics, is fully covered in your membership. No add-ons, no itemized charges.

Question 5

Can I do this as a standalone treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but outcomes improve when HBOT is combined with a broader care plan that addresses underlying health drivers.

Question 6

Can I do this as a standalone treatment?

Accepted Answer

You can, but outcomes are stronger when TPE is used within a broader care plan that identifies and addresses the underlying drivers of inflammation and immune dysfunction.

Question 7

Can I just do EBO2 without being a member or doing other testing?

Accepted Answer

You can, but it limits the outcome. Without understanding your baseline data, it becomes a standalone intervention instead of a targeted one. The highest ROI comes when it is used as part of a broader plan.

Question 8

Can I upgrade from Path to Bond?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your health goals evolve and you're ready for a more fully managed experience, our team can walk you through what a transition to Bond would look like. Book a consultation and we'll find the right path forward.

Question 9

Can I upgrade from Path to Bond?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many members start with Path to establish their baseline and upgrade to Bond when they're ready for a more fully managed experience. Your existing data, care history, and protocol carry forward so nothing is lost in the transition.

Question 10

Do I need a membership to book a test?

Accepted Answer

No. Every health testing service is available à la carte. You can book a single assessment like a DEXA scan or VO2 Max test directly, with no membership required. That said, members receive preferred pricing across all diagnostics and gain access to provider-guided interpretation of their results.

Question 11

Do I need lab testing before starting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Accurate baseline data is critical to building a safe and effective protocol. Without it, treatment becomes less precise and outcomes are less predictable.

Question 12

Do I need lab testing before starting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Accurate baseline data is critical to building a safe and effective protocol. Without it, treatment becomes less precise and outcomes are less predictable.

Question 13

Do I need testing before starting peptide therapy?

Accepted Answer

Testing is strongly recommended. Without baseline data, peptide therapy becomes less targeted and outcomes are less predictable.

Question 14

Do I need to already have health concerns to benefit from Humanaut Health's Path membership?

Accepted Answer

No. In fact, Path is most valuable when started before symptoms appear. The goal of proactive care is to identify risk factors, optimize performance, and reduce the likelihood of disease developing - not to manage conditions that already exist. Many Path members are healthy, high-functioning individuals who want more precision, more insight, and more accountability in how they manage their long-term health.

Question 15

Do I need to prepare for my tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To ensure the accuracy of metabolic markers like glucose and insulin, you will need to fast for eight to twelve hours before your blood draw. If you prefer to complete all tests on a single day, you will have the opportunity to eat between your lab draw and your fitness assessments. For your in-clinic visit, loose clothing or activewear and sneakers are recommended. You will be moving through a DEXA scan, a VO2 Max test, and a grip strength assessment, so comfort matters. All preparation instructions will be provided through your portal and confirmation email.

Question 16

Do you offer support for my condition?

Accepted Answer

We recommend starting the eligibility and consultation process to determine if we can help support your personal health needs.

Question 17

Do you treat andropause?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TRT can support men with suboptimal testosterone levels due to age. TRT often improves vitality, energy, muscle mass, and mood.

Question 18

Do you treat menopause?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BHRT is specifically designed to support women through perimenopause and menopause and significantly reduce symptoms.

Question 19

How cold does it get?

Accepted Answer

Temperature is calibrated to your protocol. The cryotherapy chamber delivers clinically effective cold exposure with consistent, even distribution across the body throughout the session.

Question 20

How do I know if Bond or Path is the right fit for me?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is the best starting point. Our team will walk you through both memberships, understand your goals, and help you determine which level of care is the right match. There's no pressure, just clarity.

Question 21

How do I know if I need TRT?

Accepted Answer

Lab testing combined with symptoms determines whether testosterone is suboptimal.

Question 22

How do I know which test is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The right test depends on where you are and what you're trying to learn. From a single-focus assessment to a full 1,000+ biomarker panel, every option is built around a different starting point. Not sure where to begin? Book a consultation and we'll help you find the right fit based on your goals.

Question 23

How do advanced therapies fit into my care?

Accepted Answer

They are never offered speculatively. Stem cell therapy, hormone optimization, peptide protocols, and others are indicated by your diagnostics. Your care team presents each recommendation with clinical rationale grounded in your numbers.

Question 24

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy work?

Accepted Answer

HBOT works by increasing atmospheric pressure, which allows oxygen to be absorbed at higher levels into the blood and delivered more efficiently to tissues, supporting repair and recovery.

Question 25

How does Therapeutic Plasma Exchange work?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange works by separating plasma from blood cells, removing the plasma that contains harmful compounds, and replacing it with pharmaceutical grade albumin before returning the blood to the body.

Question 26

How is Bond different from Path Membership?

Accepted Answer

Both memberships are rooted in the same Humanaut philosophy of proactive, data-driven care, but Bond is a significant step up in depth and access. Where Path is provider-led with quarterly reviews and 700+ biomarkers annually, Bond is physician-led by Dr. Navarro directly and includes 1,000+ biomarkers, monthly physician consultations, weekly coaching, and a multidisciplinary team coordinating your care end-to-end.

Question 27

How is Humanaut different from my current doctor?

Accepted Answer

A standard primary care visit averages seven minutes and 15 to 20 markers. Humanaut starts at 300 biomarkers, adds imaging and functional testing, and pairs every result with a provider who builds a plan around what they find. We work alongside your existing care. We cover everything it doesn't have time to.

Question 28

How is my peptide protocol determined?

Accepted Answer

Your protocol is based on your biomarkers, symptoms, and goals. Peptides are selected for their mechanism and relevance to your physiology, not based on generalized protocols.

Question 29

How is this different from EBO2 therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange removes and replaces plasma to eliminate inflammatory and immune-related compounds. EBO2 focuses on oxygenation and filtration of blood. TPE targets immune drivers directly, while EBO2 supports oxygen delivery and cellular function.

Question 30

How is this different from a cold plunge or ice bath?

Accepted Answer

Our cryotherapy chamber uses cold air rather than water, requiring no draining, cleaning, or maintenance. It delivers consistent, even temperature distribution across the entire body and is always sanitary, with an automated hygiene cycle built in. Sessions are significantly shorter than water immersion at equivalent therapeutic effect.

Question 31

How is this different from a standard physical?

Accepted Answer

A standard annual exam measures 15 to 20 basic health markers. The Executive Physical analyzes more than 1,000 longevity biomarkers across 14 key systems including cardiovascular health, brain function, hormones, metabolism, and cellular aging. It is not about confirming that you are fine. It is about revealing how your body is actually performing and what it would take to extend that performance for decades.

Question 32

How is this different from lab-direct services?

Accepted Answer

At-home kits and lab-direct services give you data. We give you data, interpretation, and direction. The Advanced Health Check is the only assessment that combines in-depth bloodwork with advanced imaging like DEXA and CIMT, plus functional testing like VO2 Max, and a provider-led insight report. Those who want to go further, it is the entry point into a fully managed care membership where your results become the foundation of an ongoing plan.

Question 33

How is this different from my a standard physical?

Accepted Answer

A standard annual physical tests 10 to 20 basic markers and is designed to detect illness, not optimize health. The Advanced Health Check goes significantly deeper, analyzing over 300+ biomarkers alongside in-clinic imaging and functional testing that most providers overlook. More importantly, your results are interpreted by a provider who builds you an actionable plan. Not a printout. A plan.

Question 34

How is this different from my existing primary care or annual physical?

Accepted Answer

A standard annual physical typically involves a basic blood panel, a brief appointment, and generic guidance. Humanaut Health's Path annual membership goes significantly further:
- 300+ biomarkers tested at baseline vs. 10-20 in standard care
- Advanced imaging and functional tests including DEXA, VO2 max, CIMT, and grip strength
- Quarterly retesting so your progress is tracked continuously, not once a year
- 4 dedicated hours of provider time annually. Far more than the average primary care visit total
- A care plan that actively manages protocols, therapies, and adjusts as your data changes
Path membership at Humanaut Health doesn't replace your existing care, it fills the significant gaps traditional medicine leaves behind.

Question 35

How long does it take to see results from joint stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

It can take 8 to 12 weeks or more to see results from stem cell therapy for joint pain. Results take place gradually. Unfortunately, some individuals do not respond to therapy.

Question 36

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Some effects can be noticed within weeks, particularly in recovery and energy. More significant changes in body composition, inflammation, and performance typically occur over a longer period with consistent use.

Question 37

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Some improvements in energy, mood, and sleep can occur within weeks. More significant changes in body composition and performance typically develop over a longer period.

Question 38

How long does the in-clinic visit take?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 90 to 120 minutes to complete your DEXA scan, CIMT ultrasound, VO2 Max test, and grip strength assessment. If you are having your blood draw done at the clinic on the same day, add approximately 15 minutes.

Question 39

How long is a session?

Accepted Answer

Sessions run 3 to 10 minutes depending on your experience level, goals, and clinical guidance. Even a 3-minute session is sufficient to drive meaningful physiological benefit.

Question 40

How long will I need to stay on the program?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your goals and response. Some individuals use medical weight loss for a defined period, while others continue with long-term support for maintenance.

Question 41

How many sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Some patients notice meaningful improvement after one to two sessions. Most conditions respond best to a course of three to six sessions. Your provider will recommend a protocol based on the nature and duration of your injury.

Question 42

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions depends on your goals. Some individuals use HBOT periodically for recovery, while others follow a structured protocol for more significant results.

Question 43

How much does stem cell therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

Stem cell therapy typically starts at $4,500. For skin and scalp treatments, the cost may be slightly less.

Question 44

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Accepted Answer

Results vary based on your starting point, consistency, and overall health. Most individuals experience steady, progressive weight loss rather than rapid short-term changes.

Question 45

How often should I get scanned?

Accepted Answer

Every 3 to 6 months is typical to track meaningful changes in body composition and adjust your plan accordingly.

Question 46

How often should I get tested?

Accepted Answer

Testing every 1 to 2 years is typical to monitor changes in arterial health and track progression or improvement.

Question 47

How often should I receive cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Daily or near-daily use is associated with the most consistent results. Many patients integrate cryotherapy sessions into their morning routine or around training. Frequency can be adjusted based on your health goals and clinical protocol.

Question 48

How often should I retest?

Accepted Answer

Annual testing is the minimum we recommend for a meaningful baseline. Quarterly retesting is ideal for members actively working a care plan, since your biomarkers shift as your protocol evolves. The goal isn't a single snapshot. It's a trend line that shows you exactly how your health is moving over time.

Question 49

How often should I schedule PEMF Therapy?

Accepted Answer

For best results, one to two sessions per week is recommended as part of an ongoing wellness or recovery protocol. Frequency can be adjusted based on your goals and clinical response.

Question 50

How often should I schedule sessions?

Accepted Answer

Frequent use is associated with longer-term benefits. Frequency can be tailored to your goals — many patients schedule sessions weekly as part of a broader wellness or recovery protocol.

Question 51

How often should I test?

Accepted Answer

Testing every 3 to 6 months allows you to track progress and adjust your training or health strategy based on measurable changes.

Question 52

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some effects can be felt within days, particularly in energy and mental clarity. Deeper changes related to inflammation and recovery build over multiple sessions.

Question 53

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some individuals notice improvements in energy and clarity after a few sessions. More substantial changes in recovery and inflammation typically occur over consistent use.

Question 54

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory markers can shift meaningfully within the first 90 days of an optimized protocol. Body composition and cardiovascular markers build across two to three quarters of consistent care. The annual membership structure exists because meaningful change requires sustained attention, not a single visit.

Question 55

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some individuals experience noticeable changes shortly after treatment, particularly in inflammation and cognitive clarity. More durable improvements typically occur across multiple sessions.

Question 56

How quickly will symptoms improve?

Accepted Answer

Some symptoms improve within weeks, while full stabilization typically occurs over a few months.

Question 57

How soon will I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Some patients experience immediate relief from muscle tightness or joint discomfort. For recovery, inflammation, and energy-related benefits, results typically build with consistent use over multiple sessions.

Question 58

Is Bond Membership covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Like Path, Bond operates outside of the traditional insurance model. Many members use HSA or FSA funds to cover eligible components. We recommend discussing your specific plan with your benefits provider, and our team is happy to help clarify during your consultation.

Question 59

Is EBO2 therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

EBO2 therapy is performed in a controlled clinical setting using a sterile, closed-loop system and is administered by trained medical professionals. When done correctly, it is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure.
