About Twin Cities Metabolism
A functional medicine clinic that measures before it acts.
We’re a functional medicine practice in Roseville, Minnesota, with a sharp focus on metabolism and the diagnostic depth to match. Our job is to find the upstream causes of metabolic, hormonal, and gut dysfunction — and to walk patients through a sequenced restoration protocol grounded in actual testing.
Our mission
Better care — whether you’ve been told you’re “fine,” or you just want to know.
Most patients arrive here after years of pushing through symptoms a standard workup couldn’t explain. They’ve been told their thyroid is fine, their hormones are fine, their gut is fine — and yet they don’t feel fine.
Twin Cities Metabolism exists because the conventional system isn’t set up to find what’s actually causing those symptoms. Insurance reimbursement doesn’t pay for the time required. Standard lab panels miss the upstream drivers. The 12-minute appointment can’t hold the complexity of a real metabolic case.
We work outside of insurance specifically so we can take the time the work requires. Comprehensive functional testing. Sequenced protocols. Continuous adjustment. Honest answers, including when the answer is “this isn’t our scope.”
THE FULL PICTURE
Your whole physiology, read as one picture.
A standard panel checks about 15 markers and clears you. We measure 200+ — across blood, hormones, gut, and metabolism — and read them together, not in isolated silos. That’s usually where the real answer is hiding.
How we work — the four principles
The Metabolic Blueprint Method.
Every patient we see goes through the same four-step clinical method, regardless of which condition brought them in.
PRINCIPLE 1
Measure before we act
Clinical decisions follow the data, not a template. Every protocol is grounded in your specific RMR, body composition, full chemistry, gut function, and hormone metabolite testing.
PRINCIPLE 2
Find the upstream driver
Symptoms are downstream. The actual problem usually lives two or three steps back. We trace the cascade to its source before recommending a single intervention.
PRINCIPLE 3
Sequence in phases
Restoration follows an order: stabilize the foundation, address the loudest driver, layer in the next, monitor and adjust. Stacking everything at once rarely works.
PRINCIPLE 4
Adjust continuously
Bodies respond differently. We monitor InBody, RMR, and lab markers throughout the program and adjust the protocol based on how you respond.

What we work on
The conditions we map.
If your case sits anywhere in this map, we can almost certainly help. If it sits outside, we’ll tell you on the first call — and point you to who can.

“Finding Dr. Jared and Twin Cities Metabolism was one of the best decisions I’ve made in awhile. I had been struggling for years with stomach problems, joint pain, concentration issues, anxiety — the whole gamut. No one was helping. And then I found TCM and Dr. Jared. In a matter of months I was already feeling better.”

“No matter how much I exercised or how strict I was with my diet, my weight was stuck. I was fatigued and frustrated. After just a few weeks on the program, my husband and I are feeling great, sleeping better, and the scale is moving in the right direction.”
