Getting Started
Meridian is a personalized health and performance coaching platform designed to help bring your fitness, nutrition, recovery, testing insights, and wellness resources together. Rather than leaving you to navigate disconnected recommendations on your own, Meridian helps you understand your information and build a practical path forward around your goals, needs, and real life.
Crystal founded Meridian and developed its approach based on more than a decade of experience in fitness coaching, wellness, functional medicine, and telehealth operations. Depending on the service you select, you may work with Crystal or an approved Meridian coach using the same personalized framework and standards of support.
Start with the pathway that best reflects what you need now. You can explore a Meridian membership for ongoing coaching, book a Pathway Strategy Session for personalized direction, or access selected testing and wellness resources individually. If you are still unsure, contact Meridian and we’ll help you identify the most appropriate starting point.
Membership & DNA
Memberships combine personalized coaching, structured planning, progress support, and selected testing insights based on the membership level you choose. Each option is designed to help translate your information into practical action across areas such as fitness, nutrition, recovery, and long-term wellness. Full inclusions and enrollment pricing are provided on the Membership Options page.
Not for every Meridian service. DNA testing is central to Meridian’s most personalized coaching pathways because it can provide useful insight into areas such as nutrition, fitness response, and recovery. If DNA testing is included in your selected membership and you do not already have eligible raw DNA data, you can begin with a new testing kit.
In many cases, yes. If you already have downloadable raw DNA data from 23andMe, MyHeritage, or AncestryDNA, you may be able to use it instead of purchasing a new collection kit. Meridian will help you determine whether your existing file is compatible with the selected testing option.
Medical Access
No. Meridian Performance Health is not a medical clinic and does not diagnose, prescribe, or provide medical treatment. Meridian provides non-clinical coaching, education, strategy, and coordination. When medical care is requested, clients may access independent licensed healthcare providers who make all clinical decisions.
Meridian has built the infrastructure to connect interested individuals with independent licensed healthcare providers. Those providers determine whether an evaluation, laboratory testing, prescription, or treatment is medically appropriate. Completing an intake or requesting an evaluation does not guarantee that a medication will be prescribed.
Pricing & Logistics
Yes. Selected laboratory testing, DNA and gut-health testing, supplements, and access to independent medical providers may be available separately from a Meridian coaching membership. Pricing, eligibility, and provider requirements vary by service.
Meridian’s virtual coaching and coordination services can be accessed nationwide. Access to medical services is provided through independent licensed providers and may vary based on your state, clinical eligibility, provider availability, and the service requested.
