The Challenge
When Treatment Isn't the Whole Story
The Missing Piece of Peak Performance
You're on a GLP-1 medication, but still struggle with emotional eating. Your hormones are balanced with BHRT, but your focus and drive haven't fully returned. You've completed ExoMind treatment, but want to lock in and build upon your cognitive gains. This is where the real work begins.
Advanced medical treatments create the opportunity for change, but they don't automatically create the mindset for success. Open-ended, traditional therapy often misses the mark, focusing on the past instead of building a framework for your future. To achieve true, sustainable results, you need structured mental performance work that is fully integrated with your physical wellness journey.
What Is Mental Performance Coaching?
Structured, Science-Backed Psychological Support
This is not traditional, open-ended therapy. Mental Performance Coaching at ANU is a structured, goal-oriented program designed to run in parallel with our advanced medical treatments. It provides the psychological tools, behavioral strategies, and accountability needed to amplify the effectiveness of services like GLP-1s, BHRT, ExoMind, and sleep optimization protocols.
Our programs are built on evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but applied with a specific focus: performance. We help you deconstruct old patterns, build new mental frameworks, and develop the resilience to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with profound physical change. Each 60-minute initial assessment establishes a clear, measurable roadmap for your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Therapy
01 How is this different from regular therapy?
Our coaching is structured, goal-oriented, and finite (typically 8-12 weeks). It's focused on building specific skills to enhance performance and maximize medical treatment outcomes, rather than open-ended exploration of the past.
02 Do I have to be a patient of other ANU services?
Yes. This program is designed specifically for integration with our medical services like GLP-1s, BHRT, and ExoMind. This synergy is key to the program's success. The initial assessment is 60 minutes.
03 What kind of results can I expect?
Clients typically report better habit adherence, greater resilience to stress, improved clarity and focus, and a stronger ability to overcome the psychological hurdles associated with their physical health journey. We track progress against the specific goals set in your initial assessment.
04 Is this covered by insurance?
Like most performance coaching programs, this is typically not covered by insurance. We offer flexible payment options and find that clients view this as a direct investment in maximizing the results of their insured medical treatments.
05 What happens after my 8 or 12-week program is over?
Our goal is to equip you with the tools to sustain your success independently. Many clients graduate the program feeling confident and prepared. We also offer optional monthly or quarterly maintenance sessions to ensure you stay on track.
06 I'm struggling with depression/anxiety. Is this for me?
While our coaching uses therapeutic principles that can help with mild symptoms, its primary focus is performance. If you are struggling with significant depression or anxiety, we would recommend starting with a psychiatric consultation or traditional therapy first. We can help guide you to the right service.
