Empowering Health Through Knowledge, Innovation, and Coaching
At T2YourHealth, our mission is simple yet profound: to empower individuals to take proactive control of their metabolic health through science-backed education, innovative tools, and personalized coaching. This mission is deeply rooted in the life and work of our founder, David P. Cistola, M.D., Ph.D.
Why This Mission Matters to Dr. Cistola
Dr. Cistola’s passion for preventive health is not just professional; it’s personal.
Throughout his career in medical research, Dr. Cistola has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease can have on individuals and their families. He has seen too many people, including his own family members, struggle with conditions that could have been prevented with the right knowledge, support and early intervention.
Driven by a deep commitment to making a difference, Dr. Cistola has dedicated his life’s work to developing innovative solutions that bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and everyday health practices. He believes that everyone deserves access to the latest scientific advancements, not just to treat illness, but to actually prevent it. His groundbreaking research into early metabolic imbalance (EMI) has led to the creation of patented
T2 Health Screening & Monitoring (TM) tests that detect hidden EMI before cell and tissue damage occurs. This empowers individuals to dodge not only diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but also prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.​​​​​​​​​​​​
What is T2?
T2 is an abbreviation for time constant number 2, measured using a miniaturized tablet-sized portable magnetic resonance device, as shown below. T2 is sensitive to how water or lipid molecules move (rotate) in the sample. In turn, changes in the motions of water or lipids reflect changes in metabolism and metabolic health. The next version of our website will provide details on the menu of T2 tests we offer and what each T2 test measures.
Dr. Cistola’s research led to the unexpected discovery that less-than-optimal metabolic health is linked to a hidden defect in oxygen delivery to vital cells and tissues - even in individuals with no symptoms or disease. By severing the link, increased oxygen delivery can lead to greater human performance and athletic achievement.

For the past 35 years, Dr. Cistola has been training and mentoring future generations of physicians and medical research scientists regarding metabolism and its role in health and disease. Now he is using that experience to educate health-motivated consumers.
Beyond screening tools and knowledge, the achievement and maintenance of good metabolic health is bolstered by personalized support. Dr. Cistola is engaged in a certification program in health and wellness coaching through Duke University Medical Center. By blending medical and scientific expertise with coaching skills and compassion, he brings a personalized approach to your health journey.
For Dr. Cistola, this mission is more than just a professional endeavor; it’s a calling. He is driven by the belief that with the right tools, information and support, people can dodge disease and push their performance to new heights. This belief inspired the establishment of T2YourHealth and continues to inspire the work we do every day.
