Start with a baseline
Most people piece together their approach to health without a clear understanding of their underlying physiology. The Baseline Assessment combines objective measurement with physician interpretation to identify your priorities and build a strategy around what matters most.
What's included
One appointment. A complete picture.
90-minute physician consultation
A comprehensive history and goals review — unhurried, one on one.
VO₂ max + threshold testing
Gold-standard cardiopulmonary testing with VT1/VT2 identification to anchor your training zones.
Body composition assessment
Lean mass and fat distribution, measured — not estimated.
Movement & training review
How you move and how you train, assessed against your goals.
Interpretation + written strategy
Physician interpretation of every result, personalized recommendations, and a written strategic summary you keep.
What we measure
Three domains. One complete picture.
Each domain is measured in the same appointment and interpreted together by your physician — one visit, one written strategy.
Cardiopulmonary performance
VO₂ max and threshold testing — how your heart, lungs, and metabolism perform under real load.
Body composition & metabolic health
Beyond the scale: lean mass, fat mass, and the metabolic markers that describe how you actually carry weight.
Strength, power & neuromuscular
Grip strength, power, and movement quality — measured, not estimated.

Pricing
Comprehensive Baseline Assessment — $1,250
Covers everything above: testing, consultation, interpretation, and your written strategy. Additional labs and imaging, when indicated, are billed separately by independent facilities. TMD Health is a self-pay practice; superbills are available on request.
Who the Baseline Assessment is for
It is an entry point into the practice, geared toward two people: someone who wants a comprehensive evaluation and an actionable plan but isn't ready to commit to ongoing care, and someone who wants an objective understanding of their physiology but intends to manage the strategy themselves.
How it relates to membership
The Baseline Assessment is not required before becoming a member — and members do not pay for it separately. If you join, a comprehensive baseline evaluation is part of your initial intake. If you complete the assessment first and decide to become a member later, your results serve as the foundation for ongoing care.
Before you book
Who is the Baseline Assessment for?
Adults focused on longevity and prevention, endurance or strength athletes, people reducing cardiovascular or metabolic risk, anyone returning to fitness, and anyone who wants physician-guided interpretation of their own data. You do not need to be an athlete — you need to want an objective starting point.
What happens after the Baseline Assessment?
You receive a written strategic summary and an extended physician consultation covering your strengths, limitations, and highest-leverage opportunities. From there, most people continue into a membership so the plan is implemented, measured, and refined over time — but there is no obligation to.
Do you accept insurance?
TMD Health is a self-pay practice and does not participate with insurance plans. Superbills are available on request for you to submit to your insurer, though reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. To avoid surprises, a Good Faith Estimate is provided whenever possible. Independent labs and imaging centers bill separately.
Do you offer telemedicine?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. New Jersey law requires that patients be physically located in New Jersey during telemedicine visits, and some encounter types need to happen in person.
