Guided by data,Rooted in Nature
Reclaim your health through a deeper understanding of your biology.
You deserve answers — not vague "normal" ranges shaped by outdated medicine. Ruminant combines advanced lab testing with ancestral wisdom so you can finally see what standard diagnostics miss.
Tailored to your goals & your body
Health isn't one-size-fits-all. Your biology is unique — and your testing should be too.
With Ruminant, you're not signing up for generic panels or cookie-cutter interpretations. Every insight is calibrated to reveal what modern lifestyles obscure in your metabolism, hormones, and long-term health potential.
Your Data Stays Yours
We exist to improve human health — not to sell your biology to advertisers, insurers, or algorithms. Your results are private, encrypted, and never monetized. Full stop.
Interpreted for Humans, Not Averages
Most lab results are compared against a population that's already metabolically unwell. Ruminant interprets your data through the lens of human physiology — not institutional 'normal.' Because optimal isn't average.
Built for People Who Question
Ruminant is for those who don't outsource their health to broken systems. If you value personal responsibility, biological truth, and data without distortion — you're already one of us.

Three Simple Steps.
Reclaiming your health doesn't require more apps, appointments, or opinions. It starts with understanding what's actually happening inside your body — clearly, privately, and without institutional noise.
Ruminant makes advanced diagnostic testing simple, accessible, and grounded in how human biology really works. No referrals. No insurance games. No vague results that leave you guessing.
Just three steps between where you are now — and real biological clarity.
Send
Choose your test and complete your sample at home or through a local lab. We handle the logistics so you can focus on what matters: getting accurate data without unnecessary friction.
Test
Your sample is analyzed using high-quality labs that go deeper than standard panels. We look beyond surface markers to understand how modern life is impacting your metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.
Results
You receive clear, human-readable insights — not just numbers on a page. Every result is interpreted through the lens of human physiology, so you know what matters, what doesn't, and what to do next.

Meet Our Founder
I didn't build Ruminant because I wanted another health company. I built it because modern medicine stopped asking the right questions.
As a physician, I kept seeing the same pattern: people were told their labs were "normal," yet they felt anything but. Low energy. Brain fog. Metabolic issues that didn't make sense on paper — but made perfect sense when you zoomed out and looked at how far modern life has drifted from human biology.
Ruminant exists to correct that disconnect.
I believe optimal health looks different when you live the way humans evolved to live — eating real, nutrient-dense food, spending time in sunlight, moving daily, and respecting the rhythms of nature. Our lab interpretations are calibrated for that reality, not for a sedentary, ultra-processed baseline.
This isn't alternative medicine. It's human medicine — finally aligned with how your body is designed to function.

Rooted in Science.Aligned with Nature.
Modern medicine built its reference ranges around sedentary, processed-food lifestyles — and that's what it calls normal. We see normal differently.
Ruminant's interpretations are grounded in evidence and calibrated for people who want real performance, metabolic clarity, and health that actually feels like thriving — because your results are analyzed through a lens that honors human physiology, not insurance averages.
This isn't alternative medicine.
It's human biology — finally aligned with how your body evolved to perform.
