I don’t know you yet—why should I trust this?

Look at how we make money: membership, not a profit on tests or supplements. Upstream is built by Dr. Shojai with Dr. Bland, widely known as the father of functional medicine. The annual plan also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Our goal is useful education that helps you ask better questions, not another product to sell you.

What exactly do I get for $49/month?

Everything inside Upstream: the 18-module Upstream Method course with six digital workbooks, the full 52-week curriculum, the Navigator AI learning engine, connection-building and research tools, the supplement database, all three film series with director’s cuts, food and lifestyle resources, weekly group coaching calls with live Q&A from our best coaches, and the member community. The calls help you navigate Upstream and your health journey; the community gives you people to learn alongside. One membership, all of it.

Is The Upstream Course the same as the Navigator?

They are different, and both are included. The course is your structured 18-module foundation with Dr. Shojai and Dr. Bland. The Navigator is an ongoing AI learning engine you can use to explore questions, build understanding, and investigate research. It is educational, not a clinician or a diagnosis service.

Are group coaching calls included?

Yes. Both monthly and annual membership include access to weekly group coaching calls with our best coaches. They field your questions in live Q&A, help you navigate the Upstream course and tools, and support your health-learning journey. These are group educational sessions, not private one-on-one appointments or medical consultations.

What is the member community for?

It’s a place to learn alongside others, share questions and experiences, and find encouragement as you work through Upstream. Together with weekly coach-led group Q&A, it means you don’t have to navigate the material alone. Community participation is included in both membership plans for as long as you’re a member.

Is this medical care? Will you treat or diagnose me?

No. Upstream is an education and learning membership. It helps you understand health concepts and ask better questions; it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your doctor. The AI tools are for learning, not for interpreting your medical records. Keep your own physician.

What’s the difference between monthly and annual?

The same full membership—including weekly group coaching calls, live Q&A, and the member community—is included either way. Annual is $499/year—about $41.58/month, billed annually—and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Monthly is $49/month and you can cancel anytime; you simply won’t be billed the next month. These are recurring membership plans, not one-time testing bundles.

What if it’s not for me?

On the annual plan, you’re covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. On monthly, cancel anytime and you won’t be billed the next month. Review the membership terms presented at checkout before joining.

Do I need to buy testing or supplements?

No. The membership is complete on its own. Personal testing is available to members separately if they choose it, but it is never required. Testing and supplement purchases are not included in your membership price, and we make nothing on the supplements we point you to.

Which film series are included?

Interconnected, Gut Check, and Gateway to Health are all included, with every episode and director’s cut. Access to all three film series, the Navigator, curriculum, and other member services is included for as long as you’re a member.
