Today 12:58 AM
Awake again at 1am, third night this week. Heart pounding. My labs looked normal last year. What is going on?
12:58 AM
Waking between 1 and 3am with a pounding heart usually points at blood sugar dropping overnight and adrenaline covering the gap. Two questions before I give you a plan: how many hours between dinner and bed, and how much protein and carbohydrate is in that last meal?
12:58 AM
About 5 hours. Dinner is mostly meat and vegetables, barely any carbs.
1:04 AM
That fits. Start here tonight: a small carbohydrate and protein snack 30 minutes before bed, salt with it. Log your wake-ups for 5 nights and send them back to me. If the pattern holds after that, we look at your morning cortisol and thyroid panel together before adding a single supplement.

You Have Questions About Your Health. The Options Are Bad.

Option 1

Book a functional medicine consult. That's $500 to $1,500, and you wait weeks, sometimes months, for a slot. You get one hour. Hope you asked everything you needed to.

Option 2

Google your symptoms. You will get 47 conflicting answers, three supplement ads, and a forum post from 2012 telling you to eat more liver. Good luck.

Option 3

Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity. It will give you a confident, polished answer that sounds right. It might even cite studies. The problem: it has no idea which of those studies are garbage, which protocols I have actually tested, and which advice would make your specific situation worse. It cannot tell you "I do not know enough about this." It just talks.

Option 4

Book coaching with me directly. That's $1,000+ a month, and my calendar is not getting any emptier.

Option 5

Read my articles yourself. I have published hundreds of them. Somewhere in there is the answer to your question. You could spend hours searching, cross-referencing, and trying to remember which article covered which protocol. Most people give up before they find it.

Most people just stay stuck. They keep buying supplements that do not move the needle. They keep eating foods that work against them. They keep running in circles because nobody has connected the dots across their labs, their symptoms, and their history.

The real cost is not the money you spend trying things. It is the months you lose feeling like garbage while you figure it out alone.

What Connecting the Dots Looks Like

An example
  • A medication you take every day
  • Trouble digesting fat
  • Too much of one vitamin
  • Too little of another

One plan, in the right order

Each one looks small on its own. Together they explain how you feel. A practitioner who sees you for an hour looks at one piece at a time. A supplement stack treats each piece separately. Ask Hans reads them together, finds how they connect, and gives you something pragmatic to do about it, often cheaper than the bottles you were about to buy.

Ask Hans Is Built for a Specific Kind of Person

This is for you if

  • You are familiar with bioenergetics, Ray Peat's work, or the pro-metabolic approach and want a modern, male-perspective update that actually applies it to your life
  • You are navigating the pro-metabolic transition and need specific, tested guidance instead of piecing together forum posts and old articles
  • You have spent too much money on supplements that did not move the needle and you want to stop guessing
  • You have lab results sitting in a drawer, or in your email, and no one to help you interpret what they actually mean across multiple panels
  • You want coaching-level insight but cannot justify $1,000+ a month, or you are on a waitlist and need answers now
  • You have read my articles and want instant recall instead of spending hours searching through the archive
  • You are a practitioner who wants to apply these frameworks to your own clients

This is not for you if

  • You want a doctor to prescribe medication. Ask Hans is not a doctor, and it will tell you that
  • You want a quick fix without doing the work. You still have to do the labs, make the dietary changes, and follow the protocols
  • You want general AI health advice. ChatGPT already exists. Ask Hans is trained on my specific framework, and when it does not know something, it says so instead of making it up

If you are still reading, you are probably in the right place.

Ask Hans Is the AI I Built to Solve This

I trained it on my entire body of work. Every article. Every protocol. Every piece of clinical reasoning I have published. It thinks the way I think because it is built on the same framework I use when I sit across from a client and trace a symptom back to its root cause.

It tells you how sure it is, so you know the weight behind every answer.

If I have tested it, you get exactly how I did it. If I have only read the research, it says so. If I have not covered it, it reasons it through with you and says plainly that it is not my recommendation, instead of inventing a dose. And when you want a human check, you can send any answer to me for review.

It remembers everything, so you never start from zero.

You forget what you ate three days ago. Your doctor forgets you between visits. Ask Hans does not. It keeps a dated record of your diet, supplements, symptoms, and labs, so when something flares up, it can trace it back to what actually changed.

It checks in every week, so your protocol never drifts.

Most protocols fall apart in week two, when life gets busy and nobody is watching. Ask Hans checks in every week with a quick 1 to 10 score for each symptom. It keeps you accountable, tells you when to hold steady and when something needs to change, and stops you from quitting too early or changing five things at once.

It tracks your symptoms, so you finally know what works for you.

Every check-in goes on your timeline. Over weeks and months, Ask Hans shows you when you felt your best and what you were doing at the time. No more guessing whether it was the food, the supplement, or the extra sleep. You get proof, not a vague feeling.

It reads all your labs together, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Upload your bloodwork, hormone panels, and organic acid tests in one go. Ask Hans reads across every file and every date, and catches what a single doctor visit misses, like a marker creeping up across three tests that each looked normal on their own.

It tells you what not to buy, so you stop wasting money.

Sometimes the most valuable thing it says is "you do not need that supplement." It flags the tests worth running before you commit to a protocol, so you are not paying for bottles and bloodwork that were never going to move the needle.

And it does all of this in seconds. Not weeks. Not after a consult call. Right now.

Everything Included at $100/Month

Ask Hans, Unlimited Access

Ask anything, anytime. No usage caps, no throttling, no per-question charges. You get an answer the moment the question comes up, not three weeks later in an appointment you had to wait for.

A Memory That Never Forgets You

Your history, labs, diet, supplements, and symptoms, all dated and all remembered. You never re-explain yourself, and when a symptom shows up three days after a change, Ask Hans connects the dots for you.

Weekly Check-Ins That Keep You Accountable

A quick 1 to 10 score for each symptom, every week. It keeps you on track, catches problems early, and tells you when to give something more time instead of giving up too soon.

A 30-Day Review of Your Progress

Every month you see how your symptoms compare with 30 days ago and what changed. Real proof that you are moving forward, so you stay motivated and know exactly what to keep doing.

Your Protocol and Notes, One Tap Away

One tap shows exactly what you are doing right now: diet, supplements, symptoms, and your latest lab values. Every answer you want to keep goes into your notes and exports as a PDF, ready to bring to your doctor.

File and Lab Upload

Upload bloodwork, hormone panels, urine tests, and full lab reports, several at once. Ask Hans reads across years of data and surfaces the connections a single-panel review would miss.

A Guided Discovery Process

Do not know how to phrase the question? Ask Hans asks the questions instead, narrows in on your root cause, and hands you a plan you can start today.

Your Starting Report, Reviewed by Me

Once you've told your story, Ask Hans writes your starting report: the pattern it sees, the likely causes, your first change and what to expect. Send it to me and I review it personally.

Ask Me to Review Any Answer

Who It's For, and Who It's Not For

It's for you if

  • You want to fix your gut, energy, sleep or hormones at the root
  • You are willing to change what you eat
  • You have tried things that didn't stick

It's not for you if

  • You are looking for a pill that fixes everything
  • You need urgent medical care, a diagnosis or prescriptions: see a doctor for that

Real People. Real Results.

Having AskHans is the safety net to make sure I am performing at my peak capacity. It's better than any doctor's appointment you can schedule. I say that as a physician. It gave me the exact blueprint on what supplements move the needle when my capacity was pushed to the brink, smoked oysters, magnesium malate, creatine, and l-tyrosine gave me an almost instant noticeable improvement.
ER physician, Ask Hans subscriber

A doctor, someone who could walk into any specialist's office for free, chooses to use Ask Hans instead. He is managing rotating shifts, a newborn, and a toddler, and is still adding to his strength numbers using a supplement blueprint Ask Hans helped him build. That is a physician voting with his own time and money against his own field's standard of care.

It saves me from digging through conflicting Google results. Answers are detailed, informative, and immediately helpful without the guesswork. It's saved me tons of time researching virtually every topic under the sun, short of doing my taxes. Having reliable, instant answers has been helpful.
David Baran, subscriber
I had years of normal-looking sleep studies and labs. Ask Hans looked at my sleep studies, labs, and history together instead of separately, and noticed my cortisol, while technically in range, sat toward the high end across multiple tests. Addressing that led to roughly an 80-90% improvement in my sleep, about an extra hour a night.
Ask Hans subscriber
I don't fully trust anything coming from Google or doctors or even AI. Having a resource I fully trust is huge help.
Ask Hans subscriber
It combines Ray Peat philosophy, bioenergetics, with a male perspective, but in a modern, up to date consideration.

You Already Know How to Use It

If you have ever sent a text message, you know how to use Ask Hans. There is no dashboard to learn. No dropdown menus. No forty-five minute onboarding video. You type what is going on. It responds. It asks follow-ups. It builds a plan with you.

It gave structured and well thought out and detailed responses to my health related questions, and it was able to listen and absorb all of my data and questions with no appointments needed.
Ask Hans subscriber
I was going through severe constipation and Ask Hans was one of the best tools I used. Cannot even compare to anything I used.
Ask Hans subscriber
I felt like I was chatting with you.
Ask Hans subscriber

No training required. No learning curve. Just a conversation that gets you to an answer faster than scrolling through articles or waiting for a consult.

You Bring the Questions. It Brings the Framework.

You do not need to know how to prompt it well. Ask Hans is built to guide you through a structured discovery process, the same methodology behind my paid reports, running as a live conversation instead of a static document.

I wanted the necessary tests listed up front for a protocol, before committing to anything. Ask Hans flagged what needed testing and gave me time to get the right products. It saved me time and eased my stress and anxiety.
Ask Hans subscriber
Forming part of the discovery process together with the AI creates this effect where people are much more invested in implementing the plan, because they put in a bit of time on their side while also being massively supported, which avoids frustration.
Ask Hans subscriber
It gave me specific guidance on dosages for specific supplements. Had I not received that guidance, I would have wasted a lot of time troubleshooting dosages, and likely delayed improvement since I would have stayed at a minimally effective dose for longer.
Ask Hans subscriber

The effort is not zero. You still have to do the labs, take the supplements, and make the changes. But the part that used to require hours of research and second-guessing yourself is now a conversation, and when you want a second opinion, I am in the Andronaut Academy to confirm it.

Why Trust What It Tells You

  • Over 10 years doing this, not a recent pivot
  • Stopped trusting research built on in vitro or animal studies once I saw how often it didn't translate to actual humans, so I started testing everything on myself instead
  • I address root causes, not symptoms, starting with diet first, since it makes a bigger difference than any compensatory supplement that only half fixes the problem
  • Resolved 20+ conditions in myself and 40+ in my wife, tracked with repeat testing over time, not a single set of markers called “done”
  • Testing goes beyond blood work: urine, stool, urinary hormones, genetics
  • Helped hundreds of clients directly
  • Physicians reach out directly, including for paid consulting and staff education on the testing methods above
  • Still actively experimenting, even now, at my healthiest, because there's more to find that nobody's mapped out yet

Ask Hans is trained on the actual protocols and case data behind all of it, not generic health content. The physician testimonial above is a live example of that trust, not a hypothetical one.

You Are Not Locked Into Anything

Cancel anytime, in the app, in a few taps. No calls, no emails asking you to stay. You'll see one option to keep your history for $9 a month instead. Say no and you're cancelled.

I hope you lock me in for that price.
Ask Hans subscriber

People already value the rate they have, that is worth remembering as pricing evolves down the line.

Huge fan of it. Coaching can be out of a lot of people's price range so this is valuable.
Ask Hans subscriber

Current annual Substack members get Ask Hans free, permanently, for as long as they stay annual. That is a grandfather clause for the people who supported my work before this product existed. If that is you, you already know.

When Ask Hans Hits the Edge of What It Knows, I Fill the Gap

Ask Hans is trained on everything I have published. It does not know what I have not written yet, and when it hits that edge, it says so instead of guessing.

It is not a replacement for your doctor. It will not diagnose you. It reasons the way I would about your situation, but it works from what you tell it and what you upload, not a physical exam.

You will always know the difference between an answer built on something I have specifically tested and one reasoned from general principles. On topics I have not directly covered, Ask Hans says as much, one subscriber called that distinction “fascinating” rather than concerning, because it means you can trust the weight behind each answer instead of assuming it is all the same.

Two things I am actively tightening, named honestly rather than hidden:

Consistency across similar questions.

A few people have noticed that asking the same question twice can produce slightly different answers. That is a real quality issue, not a feature, and the fix is standardizing a priority order per common issue instead of letting the model freestyle each time. Work in progress.

Knowledge base freshness.

New articles and Academy discussions need to flow in continuously, not as a one-time load. I am building that as an ongoing pipeline rather than a static snapshot.

The current answers can be too generic sometimes, retrieving and restating article content instead of reasoning through my specific case.
Ask Hans subscriber

That exact feedback is what drove the discovery-questions flow above, this is a live example of the loop working: you tell me where it falls short, I fix it, everyone gets the better version.

This is what the Andronaut Academy is for. You ask something the AI cannot answer well yet, I answer it personally, and that answer becomes part of what Ask Hans knows. The faster I close the gaps, the faster the product improves, and your rate stays the same while it does.

$100/Month. One Price. Everything Included.

$100
$100/month (about $3.30 a day). 14 days free first.

No tiers. No “premium” plan that unlocks the features you actually want. No per-query charges. No usage caps.

Cancel anytime, before your next bill, no questions asked.

14 days free. Cancel any time in two clicks.

If It Does Not Help You, Cancel.

There is no 30-day money-back guarantee because there is nothing to refund, you pay month to month. If Ask Hans does not give you value in your first month, cancel before the second one and you are out $100.

That is a fair trade. If the product is not good enough to keep you, that is my problem to fix, not your problem to pay for.

Questions People Ask Before Subscribing

Is this a replacement for my doctor?
No. It is designed to give you clear, informed answers and better questions to bring to your own doctor, not to replace medical care.
Does it know my personal labs and markers?
Yes, upload your bloodwork, hormone panels, or other lab files directly and Ask Hans reads across them. You do not need a Root Cause Report first.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?
It is trained specifically on my protocols, doses, and real case outcomes. It knows what I would actually tell you to do, not just what is technically possible, and it will tell you when something is outside what I have covered instead of guessing.
What does 'connecting the dots' mean?
Your symptoms, diet, meal timing, supplements, medications and labs get read together instead of one at a time. Most stuck cases are not missing one more supplement. They're missing how the pieces they already have fit together.
What happens when Ask Hans does not know something?
It tells you. It reasons through your situation with you, says clearly that it is not my recommendation, and does not invent doses or recommend medications. Those questions get logged, so I know exactly what to write next.
Does it remember me between conversations?
Yes. It keeps a dated history of your diet, supplements, symptoms, and labs, so you never re-explain your situation. Over time it shows you what worked best for you, which is something neither you nor your doctor can reliably remember.
Can I upload my lab results or a PDF?
Yes. Bloodwork, hormone panels, urine tests, and full lab reports can all be uploaded directly.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel in the app before your next billing date and you will not be charged again. You'll see one offer to keep your history for $9 a month; say no and you're cancelled.
What if I fall off the protocol?
That is exactly what the weekly check-ins are for. Ask Hans notices, asks what got in the way, and helps you get back on track without starting over.
I already bought a Root Cause Report, do I need this too?
Your first month of Ask Hans is already included with your report. This is for continuing after that, or for people who want ongoing access without a full report.
Will this help me talk to my own doctor?

Yes. It is built to prepare you with real, specific questions and information, not replace the conversation.

“It gives more advantage when I'm at the doctor's office or on a call. The doctor gets mad when I tell the alternative options, lol.”

Ask Hans subscriber

What's the Andronaut Academy?
It is included in your $100/mo. It is where I personally answer questions Ask Hans cannot yet, confirm answers as a second opinion, and stay connected with the community using this approach.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your conversations, labs and history are yours. I only see something when you choose to send it to me, and you tick exactly what's included each time.

Not sure it's for you?

Answer 7 quick questions and get the 2 or 3 most likely drivers behind your symptoms, from Hans's own work, plus one thing to try first. Free, takes 2 minutes, no card.

Before You Start, Ask Yourself

  • Will I actually use it? One good question a week is enough to make progress, and the check-ins remind you.
  • Can I afford it? $100/month after 14 free days. Need a break later? Keep your history for $9/month.
  • Have I compared the alternatives? See the table above.
