"I have prostate cancer and this 50 minute conversation was absolutely invaluable… He truly cares about his patients."
~ Dr James Nels, Metabolic Care PatientMetabolic Care is a direct-pay telehealth practice led by board-certified physicians. We work the metabolic side of cancer care, nutrition, labs, medications and lifestyle, alongside the treatment your oncology team is already giving you. Four services, four starting points, and a free 15-minute call if you are not sure which one is yours.
Telehealth · Direct Pay · Licensed In All 50 States · HIPAA CompliantMetabolic Care complements your oncology care. It does not replace your oncologist or your cancer treatment. Individual results vary and no outcomes are guaranteed.
Pick the line that sounds like your situation. It jumps you to the right service.
I have questions about my diagnosis and I want a physician's time.
Second opinionI have a tumor genomic report and nobody told me what to do with it.
Active treatmentI am in treatment now and I want structure between oncology visits.
After treatmentI finished treatment and I want a plan for what comes next.
The Care Navigation Call is non-clinical. No medical advice is provided on it. It exists to help you pick the right service.
Your oncologist stays your oncologist.
Surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, imaging, staging and every cancer-treatment decision stay with your oncology team. Metabolic Care works on the metabolic health surrounding that care. Nothing we recommend asks you to stop, change or second-guess the treatment you are on.
Dedicated time with a physician who understands the metabolic side of cancer care.
Cancer care comes with a lot of decisions. Some questions deserve more time than a treatment visit allows. This is a one-on-one telehealth appointment with a Metabolic Care physician, focused on nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, the laboratory information you already have, and whether metabolic medications may be clinically appropriate alongside your current treatment.
You can upload existing laboratory results, medical records, imaging reports, medication lists and supplement lists before the visit so your physician reviews them in advance. You leave with a written plan and personalized next steps.
Not included: laboratory panels, any new testing suggestions (arranged separately), medications and supplements (purchased separately), ongoing messaging between appointments, and emergency or urgent care.
Your tumor genomic report is done. This turns it into options you can act on.
You have the report. Nobody told you what to do with it. Astron Health takes the genomic or transcriptomic tumor report you already have, searches the peer-reviewed literature for options that match your specific findings, and produces a written report with the citation behind each one. A Metabolic Care physician then walks you through it one to one.
This is a second opinion on molecular data you already have. It does not replace your oncologist or the treatment you are on, and nothing in the report asks you to stop or change it.
The report takes 7 to 12 business days after you upload your data. Total timing runs 2 to 4 weeks from upload to your physician consultation, depending on physician availability.
There is no membership and nothing renews. Direct-pay. Metabolic Care does not file or contest insurance claims.
Your cancer treatment has a plan. Your metabolic health should too.
A consultation ends when the call ends. C-MOP does not. It is a 90-day physician-led metabolic care program for adults in active cancer treatment, with a clinical contact you can reach between oncology appointments.
Optional renewal continues at monthly rates after the first 90 days. Prescription medications and supplements are purchased separately, typically $100 to $250 a month for medications and $50 to $100 a month for supplements. Laboratory testing is billed separately. No controlled substances are prescribed.
Remission is a milestone. This is the plan for the life you fought for.
Treatment ended. The questions did not. R-MOP pairs physician-led metabolic care with board-certified health and wellness coaching for people who have completed active cancer treatment and are navigating remission or survivorship. A medical plan is only valuable if it becomes part of your life, so this program includes the coaching that makes it one.
Nothing in R-MOP is built on the idea that your lifestyle caused your cancer. Cancer has many causes and most of them are outside anyone's control. No part of this program is about looking backward.
Then $229 a month for as long as you want to continue.

Anne, Metabolic Care PatientReviews are the experiences of individual patients. Individual results vary and reviews are not a guarantee of outcome.
No. Your oncologist is your own physician and is not part of Metabolic Care. Surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, imaging, staging and cancer-treatment decisions all stay with your oncology team. Metabolic Care complements standard oncology care and does not replace it.
If you have questions about your diagnosis and want a physician's time, start with the Cancer Care Consultation. If you have a genomic or transcriptomic tumor report you do not understand, start with the Astron Health Report. If you are in active treatment and want ongoing structure, start with C-MOP. If you have finished active treatment, start with R-MOP. If none of those is obviously yours, book the free 15-minute Care Navigation Call and a coordinator will help you choose. That call is non-clinical and no medical advice is provided on it.
Physicians are licensed state by state, and between them they see patients in all 50 states. Select your state at booking to see only physicians licensed where you live.
Metabolic questions surrounding cancer care arise across cancer types and at every treatment stage, including before treatment begins and after it ends. Physicians tailor the discussion to your diagnosis, your current treatment and your present situation.
Metabolic Care is direct-pay. Fees are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or commercial insurance, and Metabolic Care does not file or contest insurance claims. Some patients use HSA or FSA funds, and receipts are available on request.
Yes. You can upload existing laboratory results, medical records, imaging reports, medication lists and supplement lists before your visit for physician review.
Neither consultation includes laboratory testing or a lab panel. New testing is arranged and billed separately, and typically ranges from $50 to $150. C-MOP and R-MOP include metabolic lab monitoring in the program structure, but the laboratory testing itself is billed separately.
No. No specific medication or supplement is mandatory. Recommendations are individualized based on your history, your lab results and your clinical needs, and many patients receive nutrition, lifestyle and monitoring guidance without any prescription. When medications are recommended, physicians use low-dose approved medications reviewed for interactions with your treatment. No controlled substances are prescribed. Medications and supplements are purchased separately.
You receive a written plan with the priorities you discussed and your next steps. For continued structure and support, C-MOP is available during active treatment and R-MOP is available after it. You can book another consultation whenever you want. Ongoing messaging between appointments is not included with a consultation.
Metabolic Care does not replace your oncologist. You are encouraged to share your written metabolic strategy and other program information with your oncology team.
