Our Mission:
Your Optimization
Surgery can be a daunting experience — both mentally and physically. We want to equip you with the right tools to maximize your recovery, before and after. Available via telehealth throughout California.
Our Mission: Your Optimization
Our optimization program is designed to empower you to play an active role in your surgical journey. Similar to a marathon, surgery is a major event for your body. Proper training and preparation with the right supplements and nutrition can help improve outcomes and recovery.
Gearing up your body to heal more efficiently means you can avoid complications and get back to doing what you love sooner — with the confidence of knowing you've taken the steps to achieve the best possible outcome.
Dr. Andre Atoian is a triple board-certified physician in anesthesiology, pain management, and addiction medicine — with over a decade of operating room experience and a deep understanding of exactly what physiological state gives patients the best surgical outcomes.
What Proper Preparation Can Help You Achieve
Increase Immunity
Strengthen immune function before surgery to reduce infection risk and support a more resilient recovery.
Reduce Inflammation
Lower baseline inflammation so your body can mount a more targeted, efficient healing response after surgery.
Accelerate Wound Healing
Targeted nutrition and peptide therapy prime the body's repair mechanisms for faster, more complete tissue healing.
Speed Up Recovery
Get back to doing what you love sooner — with a body that was ready for surgery and built to recover from it.
Surgical Optimization — Before & After
Our program wraps around your surgical journey — preparing your body before the procedure and supporting your recovery after.
Pre-Operative Optimization
Patients who arrive at surgery with optimized nutrition and reduced inflammation recover faster and experience fewer complications. Dr. Atoian's pre-operative protocol focuses on the factors most predictive of surgical outcomes.
Comprehensive Pre-Op Labs & Blood Work
Advanced testing beyond standard pre-surgical panels — establishing your complete physiological baseline and identifying factors that could affect your procedure or recovery.
Nutritional Optimization
Targeted nutraceutical protocols and nutritional recommendations to correct deficiencies, build cellular reserves, and prime your body's repair mechanisms before surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory Protocol
Reducing baseline inflammation before surgery supports a more targeted, efficient healing response — and can meaningfully improve your comfort and recovery timeline after the procedure.
Surgical Team Coordination
Dr. Atoian works collaboratively with your surgeon and primary care physician. We optimize the patient they receive — we do not replace your surgical team.
Post-Operative Recovery
Surgery creates acute physiological stress — inflammation, tissue damage, and oxidative stress — that can linger for weeks without targeted intervention.
Peptide & Growth Hormone Therapy
BPC-157, the Wolverine Blend (BPC-157 + TB-500), and growth hormone therapy where eligible accelerate tissue healing, reduce scarring, and support more complete recovery.
Nutritional Recovery Protocol
Continuing and refining the pre-operative supplement protocol based on how your body is responding in the weeks after surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory Support
We calibrate anti-inflammatory interventions to support healing without suppressing the beneficial phases of repair.
Outcome Monitoring
Progress is tracked against your pre-surgical baseline using validated outcome monitoring tools — giving you a measurable picture of your recovery at every stage.
Your Surgical Optimization Timeline
A structured program from initial intake through full recovery — every step timed to maximize your outcome.
Comprehensive Intake & Baseline Labs
Complete intake forms and advanced blood work to establish your baseline. We assess your starting scores using validated outcome monitoring tools — giving us a clear before/after picture of your progress and recovery.
Initial Virtual Consultation with Dr. Atoian
A thorough telehealth appointment to review your lab results, medical history, surgical plan, and goals. Dr. Atoian presents your personalized optimization protocol and answers all your questions about what to expect.
Begin Supplement Regimen & Therapies
Your personalized supplement and nutraceutical protocol begins. Where eligible, short-term peptide and hormone therapies are initiated. This two-week window is when measurable changes in inflammation, nutrient status, and metabolic readiness can be achieved before surgery.
Pre-Surgery Carbohydrate Loading
A targeted pre-surgical carbohydrate drink protocol, timed precisely before your procedure. Evidence shows this reduces insulin resistance, improves patient comfort, and supports faster post-operative recovery.
First Virtual Follow-Up Visit
A telehealth check-in to assess your immediate recovery, review your supplement protocol, and adjust recommendations based on how your body is responding.
Final Follow-Up & Outcome Review
A comprehensive second post-operative visit to review your outcome scores against your baseline, assess functional recovery, and determine whether additional therapies would benefit your continued healing.
