The Science
Four pillars, backed by the world's best science.
The research, the people, and the studies behind everything Clubwell does. Curated against our CRIMES framework for evidence you can actually trust.
Our Four Pillars
Everything Clubwell does maps to four principles of metabolic health. Tap a pillar to see the science behind it.
Addition
99%of restrictive diets fail long-term. We do the opposite.
Our approach starts with one powerful step: adding fibre first. Unlike restrictive diets that fail 99% of the time, this method focuses on abundance rather than deprivation. From here, members progress through our proven pathway — Fibre First, transitioning to the Human Diet, evolving into a low-carb lifestyle, and ultimately unlocking the freedom to practice intermittent fasting with confidence.
- Start with fibre, build from there
- Immediate wins: energy, sleep, weight
- A proven pathway to lasting longevity
Knowledge
10 years of health research
Metabolic knowledge drives real transformation, and we make it practical. Through our advisory panel, expert interviews, and funded research, we translate complex science into clear, usable guidance — cutting through jargon, dogma, and bias. As the science progresses, so do we.
- Peer-reviewed research, translated clearly
- Expert interviews and funded studies
- Evidence-based, not diet-dogma
Monitoring
5 critical biomarkers, tracked in one score
Metabolic dysfunction silently develops years before chronic disease appears — yet conventional testing only spots problems after symptoms emerge. Our MST device measures five critical biomarkers, while our biometric scales sync 12 body composition readings. Abstract health concepts, made measurable and actionable.
- MST Score: metabolic health, one number
- 12 body composition measurements
- See your progress over time
Connection
2x stronger outcomes with community-based programmes
Research consistently shows community-based health interventions outperform individual efforts. Inside theClub Chat, members join topic-based conversations, share scores, swap recipes, and celebrate progress together — building the accountability that turns what felt impossible into something achievable.
- Topic-based groups and live discussions
- Share scores, recipes, and wins
- Accountability that actually sticks

Research & Partnerships
The Work We've Helped Fund
From Dr Isabella Cooper to the Public Health Collaboration, we fund research that drives real health outcomes. Tap any partner to see the work.
The Public Health Collaboration
Our five-year funding partnership with PHC supports vital health conferences bringing together the brightest minds in metabolic health — challenging conventional dietary guidelines and pharmaceutical dependency.
Food For The Brain
Funded groundbreaking research exploring optimal strategies for driving behaviour change in Alzheimer's patients — focusing on dietary interventions and lifestyle modifications for cognitive protection.
Oxford University Research
Funded the public release of Dr Ali Ibrahim's ground-breaking research examining ultra-processed foods and eating disorders — making critical findings accessible beyond traditional academic circles.
Dr Isabella Cooper — Ketosis Research
Supporting pioneering research into ketosis applications for longevity and cancer treatment protocols — advancing understanding of metabolic therapies in oncology.
The Lifestyle Club
Funded training programmes supporting type 2 diabetes patients through lifestyle interventions — proving dietary changes can reverse metabolic dysfunction without pharmaceutical dependency.
IFACC
Two-year support of the International Food Addiction Consensus Conference — working to establish food addiction as a recognised condition with the WHO through evidence-based advocacy.
Built by Clubwell
Your metabolic wellness. In one number.
The MST Score brings together five critical biomarkers into a single, clear measure, so you can track the health of your metabolism in one place.

Our Approach To Evidence
The Research That Actually Matters
We curate studies that drive real health outcomes — not corporate profits. Every piece of research is weighed against our CRIMES framework: six critical criteria that reveal whether research deserves your trust. When longevity and lives are at stake, quality evidence comes in many forms.
The CRIMES framework
Six questions we ask of every study, before it influences your health
-
C
Controlled
Was there a proper control group? Observational studies can suggest connections, but only controlled trials can prove cause.
-
R
Randomised
Were participants randomly assigned? Self-selected groups often reflect lifestyle, not the treatment itself.
-
I
Interventional
Did researchers actually change one variable and measure the effect — or just survey existing habits?
-
M
Meaningful
Was the study large and long enough? Four months on a handful of participants tells you very little about real-world impact.
-
E
Extension
Did it actually extend life? Lower cholesterol isn't the goal — a longer, healthier life is.
-
S
Statistics
Are the numbers honest? "50% risk reduction" often hides an absolute difference of less than 1%.
