Thoughtful, local healthcare

At Compri Health we provide flexible, relationship-driven primary care for working adults. In your life, there are dozens of things you could do for your health, but which is right for you? Is it likely to increase your personal resiliance and stamina, and at what cost?

As a board certified family nurse practitioner and applied behavioral scientist, Sarah Bragdon has been wrestling with these questions for over 15 years. Compri Health is a place for thoughtful adults to expand the health & resiliance they have with science and measurement, not hype or guess-work.

What We Do Differently

Your health isn’t separate from your work, your focus, or your energy. Your health is your engine.

Most care is built around problems—wait until something breaks, then fix it. That works for emergencies but fails in real life.

Here at Compri we look at how your health & attention work across the day and where that system is predictably breaking down. Then we build simple behavioral experiments to support attention, stamina, and recovery.

Because you don’t have time to arange to your health around every social media challenge. You need one that works under real conditions, with real constraints and real load. Because you built this life on purpose, so let's make the most of your health, together!

Understanding your body

You’ve Invested in Mastering Complex Skills.

Who Taught You How to Manage Your Body?

If you’re reading this, you’ve spent years mastering complex skills. But where did you learn to manage your biology? Usually, it’s from locker rooms, grocery store magazines, or generic advice designed for "everyone" but fitting no one.

Your body doesn’t respond to general principles. It responds to what you actually do in your 24-hour day.


Your Brain Plans Ahead. Your Cells Live in the Present.

Your brain thinks in strategies. Your cells? They only have one question: Is there fuel and material for this workload right now?

Your cells cannot borrow against your good intentions. When meals are skipped and stress is unrelenting, your body compensates. Stress hormones and gluconeogenesis to "manufacture" energy, frequently from existing body proteins you'd built with care. Now, finding yourself in an energy crisis, you don't burn fluff, you burn protein.

The cost of compensation is real:

  • You slowly replace muscle (used as emergency fuel).

  • Your liver overloads with fuel held in reserve.

  • Your range narrows. You’re still you, but it takes longer to recover from effort, stress, or illness.


Measurement Reveals What Guessing Can't

That afternoon fog isn't a character flaw; it’s a resource management error. We help you move past the "Eat better, sleep more" clichés. By measuring labs, patterns, and load tracking, we identify your biological bottleneck—the specific place where your system is working hardest just to keep up.

We don't give you a new "plan" to push through. We make the smallest effective change to your biology so your body has the room to maneuver again.

Steady energy isn’t a reward for discipline. It’s the condition that allows discipline to exist.

How we help

How Compri Health Helps

We don't guess. And we don't add to the load. Our goal is to find the largest biological bottleneck — the place where your body is working hardest to compensate — and reduce the pressure there first.

For some people, this looks like replacing irregular fueling patterns that drive hepatic insulin resistance: instead of overwhelming the system at unpredictable times, we shift to smaller, scheduled inputs the body can anticipate. For others, the entry point is perimenopause, protein timing, iron deficiency, sleep architecture, or accumulated recovery debt.

While lives are different, the laws of biology are universal. Adaptation to your life is where we win or lose.  examples differ. The principle doesn't.

We're not trying to override biology with discipline or change what's already happened. We meet the body where it is, asking it to adapt less on ordinary days, so it performs brilliantly on extraordinary days.

We study how your days actually unfold: fuel timing, sleep, movement, stress, recovery. Then we intervene precisely — using the smallest effective change that restores predictability and frees up capacity.

Because when biological load comes down, options open up.

Sarah Bragdon

Nurse Practitioner & Applied Behavioral Scientist

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a Nurse Practitioner and applied behavioral scientist. I help high-performing adults channel their focus and energy to recover or expand their health.

From medical weight loss and body recomposition, hormone replacement, to supporting mental health and focus, we're here to help you thrive.

When there's so many things you could choose to do in a day, it helps to remember that a remarkable life depends more on resiliance than perfection. We're here to help you understand your body, your health and what parts of your routine are best amplifying your health. 

Together, we can build a flexible, sustainable routine to support effective health habits and physical stamina.  

Sarah Bragdon has been a trusted advisor for me since our very first appointment together. She took time to review the complicated background I gave her. She took her time explaining things to me and also listening to my experience and concerns, helping me understand more about the challenges I have.

We love race day's and PR's. We're also here if you're feeling stuck.  Because helping you understand and take action is the heart of our practice. 

[Sarah] has been instrumental in my wellness journey. She helped me get updated labs, walked me through the results, and built a thoughtful, realistic plan tailored to my needs. But more than that, she listens. She validates my concerns, asks the right questions, and brings a level of compassion that reminds me how far I’ve come. As Sarah said, "your 20-year-old self would be so proud".
