Whole-Person Precision Healthspan Healthcare

Measure how fast you're aging. Restore the whole human being.

True healthspan is not an isolated symptom or single lab code. Integrix Health centers your care around the Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul — reading your genetics, epigenetic biological age, and cellular drivers together to build a year-long plan that restores lasting vitality.

What is Precision Healthspan Healthcare? Integrix Health integrates genomic predispositions (3X4 Genetics), epigenetic pace of aging (TruAge DNA methylation), and multi-system symptom burden (MSQ) to craft a customized, data-driven plan targeting the cellular drivers of vitality across the Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul.

By video, or in person at the clinic.

Normal isn't optimal. Average isn't healthy.

Whole-Person Clinical Philosophy

Centered Around the Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul

Restoration by Design (Tier 2)

Your profile indicates functional upstream imbalances that require multi-pillar investigation across Biochemistry, Biomechanics, and Neurology.

The gap standard care leaves open

Lifespan is how long you live. Healthspan is how long you live well.

Lifespan

The number of years you are alive. Modern medicine has extended it substantially — mostly by responding to disease after it appears.

Healthspan

The number of years you live free of disease and disability. This is the number most people actually care about, and the one standard care measures least.

≈12 years

The average gap between lifespan and healthspan in the United States — years lived with illness or disability.1

Standard medicine responds to disease. Precision healthspan healthcare works on the years before it.

Three inputs, read together

What we measure — and what each measurement can and cannot tell you

01

Genetic Blueprint

A one-time genotype (3X4 Genetics) shows where your biology is susceptible — how you handle inflammation, detoxification, methylation, blood sugar, and more. A gene is a predisposition, not a diagnosis. It tells us where to look first, not what will happen.

How genetics fit the Method →
02

Biological Age Tracking

Epigenetic methylation testing (TruDiagnostic TruAge and TruHealth) measures your biological age and your current pace of aging, then tracks the trend over time. It is the metric that keeps moving after symptoms go quiet.

How biological age is tracked →
03

Symptom Burden Score

The Medical Symptom Questionnaire turns "I don't feel right" into a number across fifteen body systems. Your score decides where you start — not a sales page.

Resilient Health by Design

One ladder. You start where your data says you should.

Click any rung on the ladder to see the clinical entry criteria, diagnostic inputs, and first 90-day trajectory.

1

Relief by Design

Pain and symptom relief, with labs brought back toward normal.

2

Rehabilitation by Design

Function restored and measured, not assumed.

3

Vitality by Design™

From "normal" to optimal, with symptom burden driven down.

4

Longevity by Design

Sustain what you built. Track pace of aging over time.

Rung 4 • Longevity by Design

For individuals who are functional and symptom-free, seeking to slow cellular aging, optimize VO2 Max, and sustain lifelong vitality.

Pace of Aging Tracked

01. Diagnostic Inputs Used

3X4 Genetics blueprint + TruDiagnostic TruAge epigenetic biological age testing + baseline metabolic labs.

02. Clinical Strategy

Mitochondrial Zone 2 conditioning, circadian sleep architecture, and targeted metabolic sequencing.

03. First 90-Day Trajectory

One sequenced change per week, establishing your personal pace-of-aging baseline and long-term vitality runway.

Where you start is decided by your symptom score and your exam — not by a sales page.

What you are actually buying

The tests are inputs. The read is the product.

Interpretation

One clinician reads everything together.

Dr. Bekkum reviews your genetics, your labs, and your symptom data as a single picture — not as three reports that never meet.

A plan built for your biology

One change per week, for a full year.

Sequenced by what matters most for you, in the order that works: food first, then movement, sleep, stress, environment, and only then targeted supplementation.

Support between visits

Portal messaging between visits.

Questions about your plan get answered inside your secure client portal, within a reply window set by your program tier. New or worsening symptoms are routed to a scheduled call or your treating physician.

Testing is included where the program calls for it. The tests are inputs. The read is the product.

I spent the first half of my career getting people out of pain. It worked — and it kept not being enough. The same people came back with the same problems, because the thing driving them was never on the plan. Genetics, labs, and lifestyle had to be read together, or the plan was a guess. That is the practice I run now.

Common Questions & Direct Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, evidence-grounded answers about precision healthspan diagnostics and clinical protocols.

What is Precision Healthspan Healthcare?

Precision Healthspan Healthcare is an evidence-based clinical discipline that reads an individual's genetic blueprint (3X4 Genetics), epigenetic biological age and pace of aging (TruAge DNA methylation), and multi-system symptom burden (MSQ) together to build a targeted, non-pharmaceutical healthspan plan.

How does Integrix Health measure biological age versus chronological age?

Integrix Health uses the TruAge Complete DNA methylation test, which measures cellular biological age across millions of epigenetic markers, and the DunedinPACE algorithm to calculate your real-time rate of biological aging per calendar year.

What are the three core diagnostic inputs used in the Integrix Method?

The Integrix Method combines three distinct diagnostic inputs: 1) 3X4 Genetics to identify inherited metabolic and detoxification pathways, 2) TruAge DNA Methylation to measure cellular aging pace, and 3) the Medical Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) to score multi-system burden across 15 physiological systems.

Can I work with Dr. Bekkum virtually or in person?

Yes. Clients can be seen in person at the Moorhead, Minnesota clinic for chiropractic care, Kinetisense 3D motion analysis, and functional consultations, or remotely via secure video consultations.

Why is conventional medicine's "normal" lab range not optimal for healthspan?

Standard laboratory reference ranges are statistical population averages designed to identify end-stage pathology and disease, not optimal cellular vitality. Integrix Health uses functional reference ranges aimed at peak mitochondrial output, metabolic stability, and long-term healthspan extension.
