Serapath's Pathway Protocol
The purpose of the Foundations Program is to understand what's driving an individual's chronic stress response and to determine the probability chronic stress has impacted their physiology.
We use both Subjective and Objective Data to determine risk along the following domains:
- Metabolic Imbalance
- Sleep Imbalance
- Chronic Inflammation
- Emotional and Psychological
The SATS - Stress Assessment Tracking Survey - is the intake form for the Foundations Program.
Here are some of the symptoms we take into consideration:
Perceived Stress:
- How often do you feel nervous or anxious?
- Do you experience frequent worry or negative thoughts?
- How well do you cope with daily challenges?
Metabolic Health:
- Do you experience energy fluctuations or fatigue after meals?
- How often do you consume sugary or refined foods?
- Have you noticed significant changes in your weight?
Sleep Quality:
- How often do you have trouble falling asleep?
- Do you wake up frequently during the night?
- How rested do you feel upon waking?
Chronic Inflammation:
- Do you experience frequent joint or muscle pain?
- Have you had persistent digestive issues?
- How often do you experience skin problems or allergies?
We also take into account coffee and alcohol consumption patterns, snacking and technology consumption behavior, caregiver status, the amount of exercise and your BMI, along with your desired health goals.

Whereas the purpose of Foundations is to understand broad drivers of chronic stress, the Purpose of Empower is to narrow down into a specific domain and to understand data markers with which to benchmark and against which to measure progress.
In addition to SATS these are the following Subjective and Objective Measures analyzed in the Empower Program.
Subjective
- 1 Week Dietary Recall
- 1 Week Exercise Recall
- Perceived Stress Scale
- Social Readjustment Rating Scale
- GAD-2 and PHQ-2
- Sleep Questionnaire
- Multi-system Questionnaire - Tracking symptoms across 15 domains
Objective Data - where available
- Insulin, Homa-IR, CGMs, Insulin Response to Glucose
- Waist to Hip Ratio
- Body Composition
- Blood Pressure
- Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
- Diurnal Cortisol and Cortisol to DHEA Ratio
- Melatonin
- hs-CRP
- Tests for Leaky Gut
- Comprehensive Hormonal Panels
- Estrogens, Progestogens, Androgens, Glucocorticoids.
All these tests are available through your healthcare provider or can be easily obtained in most States within the US through online retailers such as Verisana, delivered conveniently at home. Here are some competitively priced devices to monitor health metrics at home (Amazon) as well.
Before spending money on any of these tests, consider scheduling a call with us to discuss your needs.
Both the Foundations and Empower Programs are designed to understand the root cause of an individual's chronic stress response, as well as, creating a benchmark against which to track progress.
The Resilience Program is designed to help individuals recover from and build resilience against demanding lifestyles. We do this with twice weekly interactions with clients focusing on developing autonomy in Nutrition, Exercise, and Healthy Habits. In addition to SATS and selected Level II data, your Health Coach will also construct a Health Timeline and Health Matrix for you so that you can understand lifelong patterns that are holding you back from the change you've been trying to make. Our Health coaches are IFM Certified and are trained to work with you to rebuild lifelong patterns for productivity, longevity and vitality.
