Biobi Health is 100% focused on your metabolic health. We've defined six key areas that together form the foundation of lasting vitality:
Peak Performance & Longevity (executives, athletes, exercise recovery, longevity hackers, and activating your genetic edge)
Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health (obesity, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, anemia and nutrient deficiencies)
Cognitive & Energy Balance (brain fog, diabetes, family history of dementia, reduced concentration, micronutrient deficiencies, and inflammaging)
Gut & Detox Optimization (IBS, bloating, acid reflux, microbiome imbalance, toxin accumulation, liver health, indigestion, and malabsorption)
Stress & Hormone Balance (burnout, adrenal fatigue, poor sleep, mood changes, postpartum, perimenopause, and andropause)
Genetics & Prevention (genetic risks and strengths, post-op recovery, osteoporosis, mitochondrial health, improving healthspan, and pharmacogenetics)
We've defined our niche - trimming away general diagnostic imaging and procedures to focus exclusively on prevention and the six core areas of your metabolism. As a result, Biobi Health is NOT focused on these areas:
Conditions requiring a medical diagnosis, surgical conditions, severe acute or chronic pain, cancer diagnosis or treatment, acute or chronic infections, fertility medicine, pregnant or breastfeeding, autoimmune conditions, allergy testing, severe mental health conditions, and substance use disorders.
Precision testing (at physician pricing) is almost half the cost. No upsells - your one-time investment contains a lifetime of value. Your dedicated multidisciplinary team designs a personalized health plan so you can take control of your health.
Yes, Biobi Health tests and services are HSA-eligible and CRA-eligible in BC, Canada. It is recommended to submit our detailed invoice for pre-approval with your Health Spending Account (HSA), and also to consult your accountant about the Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC). The following examples are NOT tax advice:
High income with $2,000 in HSA: Pay Biobi Health $9,500 and reimburse yourself $2,000 through your HSA. Then, deduct $4,750 ($7,500 minus $2,750) via METC.
Spouse makes $50,000 in net income without HSA: Your METC starts after $1,500 in medical expenses (3% of net income). Pay Biobi Health $9,500 and deduct $8,000 ($9,500 minus $1,500) via METC.
No, but you can claim medical expense tax credits (METC) as described above. Consult your accountant on combining family medical expenses into one tax year.
All of the testing, reports, personalized health plan, and physician visits for 6-12 months are included in one upfront cost. Supplements are NOT included in the cost.
I provide personalized supplement recommendations through Fullscript at the full provider discount. As a Canadian physician, I do not receive any profit from these recommendations — you’re free to purchase supplements from any source you prefer.
Yes, but which of the thousands of lifestyle habits and oral supplements are right for you? Precision testing of your genetics and metabolism reveals exactly what your body needs. After evaluating countless interventions - from devices to iv therapy - we believe oral, liposomal, and transdermal supplements offer the most natural, effective, and sustainable way to enhance your metabolism.
Yes, your health data is on the double-encrypted and PIPA-compliant Arya EHR which secures your questionnaires, notes, test results, and telemedicine visits. Also, your results are de-identified for AI and multidisciplinary team discussions and we'll never sell your health data.
Yes, that's what is unique about our team - we're trained in traditional Western medicine yet take a truly holistic approach to health. Dr. Obayashi has a B.Sc. in genetics and MD from UBC. Medicine is still catching up with science, but we believe genetics and personalized metabolic health represent the future of preventive healthcare.

No, Biobi Health focuses on disease prevention. You need your current primary care provider for disease diagnosis. Dr. Obayashi will initiate investigations, referrals, and treatments if medically necessary, but followup is with your primary care provider. Biobi Health services are designed to compliment -not replace- your regular medical care.
Yes, just pause your program for vacations, work, or unexpected events.
