Operation Evolution: A 3 Year Plan to Rebuild Health From the Ground Up
Join the evolution...
Learn about our upcoming Certification Program and how our campus works
We started Physiology First in 2019 with an ambitious plan. To change how we approach youth mental health by building accessible, engaging, empowering health programs for teens and families around the world.
A place the world had never seen before.
Not a clinic, a classroom, or a gym. A community health center that blends world class education, training, and the world’s leading health technologies to create a personalized health program for every member.
The future of health and fitness is not generic. One size never fits all.
When we personalize the health experience we unlock the potential of every child, family, and community member.
David kicked off the initiative with a solo 24 run around the local high school track to raise seed money and we were off to the races. (The run ended up being far from “solo” as the community came out to support the event.) David managed to cover 100 miles while talking with reporters about our initiative - a new personal record for him as he’d never been interviewed during a 100 mile race before :)
Since starting the organization we’ve empowered hundreds of students and families with the latest science of mental and physical health.

The journey led to David speaking around the world on the topic of youth mental health - and why we need a physiology first approach.

Evolution Isn’t Over: A 3 Year Plan to Rebuild Health from the Ground Up
The next 3 years are going to be critical on the battleground of youth mental health. Job automation as we accelerate into the AI Age, the shifting economic prospects for new graduates, and the declining mental and physical health of our society at large presents unprecedented challenges for our kids.
Physiology First is responding with a 3 year plan to rebuild the health of our communities from the ground up.
The Vision: Health Infrastructure in Every City Where We Can Train Leaders - 100 Physiology First campuses by 2030
Imagine a place where teens can go learn about the power of their brain and body with the support of a community.
