Every person who walks into Code 1 is carrying a different story. Different labs, different goals, different history, different life. The protocols below are the tools we draw from. Which ones belong in your plan, and in what combination, gets determined after we actually know you.
Most people have experienced fragmented care. A Primary Care Doctor for general health. A specialist for one thing. Another for something else. Nobody owns the full picture, nobody connects the dots or speaks to each other, and you spend half your appointment re-explaining your history to someone who's seeing you for the first time.
That's not how this works.
At Code 1, every protocol you're on is managed by the same physician who ran your labs, reviewed your history, and built your plan. Dr. Cashio isn't handing you off to a PA for your TRT and a nutritionist for your weight and a different provider for your peptides. He knows the full picture because he built it.
The protocols below exist inside that relationship. They're not standalone services you can pick from a menu. They're tools a physician deploys when they know enough about you to deploy them well.
For men who are tired of being told their testosterone is "normal" when nothing about how they feel is normal. Fatigue, declining strength, low drive, brain fog, weight that won't move. These aren't just aging. They're addressable. APEX is a medically supervised Men's Health Program built around your specific labs, your symptoms, and your goals.
For women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or hormone imbalance who are tired of being dismissed. Fatigue, weight changes, sleep disruption, mood shifts, low libido. These aren't things to manage around. They're things to address. ATHENA is a physician-led hormone optimization protocol built around where you actually are hormonally, not where a reference range says you should be.
Physician-guided fat loss and body recomposition for people who've tried the standard approaches and know that willpower and a calorie deficit aren't the full story. REFORGED addresses the metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral drivers of body composition, and builds a plan you can actually sustain in your real life.
Evidence-informed peptide protocols for patients who are already doing the work and want to go further. BPC-157, Sermorelin, and others, medically supervised and precisely dosed. VITAL EDGE is for patients in the performance optimization phase of their care, not a shortcut for people who haven't done the foundational work yet.
The standard lipid panel your GP runs tells part of the story. ApoB, Lp(a), advanced inflammatory markers, full hormonal analysis, metabolic depth, that's the rest of it. Our 60+ marker panel gives us a complete picture of what's actually happening inside your body so the plan we build is based on real data, not educated guesses.
His approach is just totally unique. It's totally different. Someone that genuinely is invested. There just isn't anyone else that does that in standard medical practice.
With Dr. Cashio, it's more of: let's take a step back. Who are you? What are your goals? Let's take an assessment. Let's do the bloodwork. Let's not rush you out of here. Let's have a long-term relationship. Let's make you as healthy as possible.
Between the medical attention that he gave me and doing the cold plunges, I not only healed, I was able to actually go back to the gym and become a bodybuilder. I've hit new records where doctors told me you'll never lift weights again.
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. Thirty minutes with the Code 1 team to talk through where you are, what you've tried, and what a real plan might look like for you. No pressure, no commitment.
