The Company
About Outliyr
Outliyr is a health optimization platform and research hub for high performers, founded in 2018 by Nick Urban. One promise runs through everything we make: find what works for your body. And what doesn’t.
Why Outliyr Exists
Health research describes how groups respond on average. Your genes, gut, environment, and history make your response different. That gap costs people years of money, energy, and missed wins.
Verification over description
Competitors capture biomarkers and describe them. Outliyr verifies what works per person through structured self-experiments against each member’s own baseline.
Both directions of fit-finding
Some popular, well-researched protocols quietly fail for an individual. Some overlooked ones work shockingly well. Outliyr surfaces both.
No wearable required
Daily check-ins, labs, and logs work on their own. Members who have a wearable can connect any major device and switch brands anytime.
What we make
Three Things, One Mission
The research hub
370+ evidence-based guides on biohacking, health optimization, and longevity, plus free tools like the light therapy dose calculator and Braverman assessment. Everything is written to shortcut the trial and error between reading about an intervention and knowing if it earns a place in your life.
High Performance Longevity
The podcast: 270+ deep conversations with researchers, clinicians, and practitioners across modern science and ancestral systems. Episode notes and key takeaways live on the site for every episode.
The platform
Members log their supplements, devices, and protocols, run structured self-experiments against their own baseline, and get keep-it-or-drop-it answers graded Experimental, Under test, or Confirmed.
How We Test and Review
Recommendations here are earned, never assigned. Nick has personally tested 200+ tools, devices, and protocols over 14+ years, including instrument-level testing like spectrometer measurements for light therapy devices. Endorsements he doesn’t completely stand by get turned down.
Some links on the site earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides what gets recommended, and plenty of reviews say “skip this one.” The full policy lives on the disclosures page.
The Frameworks Behind the Work
BioHarmony is the evaluation engine: every intervention is weighed across multiple lenses of evidence, with downsides counted as heavily as upsides. More than 130+ interventions carry published ratings in the BioHarmony library.
CONTEXT is the lens for evaluating any single intervention: Client, Objective, Now, Terrain, Execution, eXchanges, Tracking. The full framework is published at outliyr.com/context-framework.
PerformanceSpan is the goal we optimize for: how long you can perform at a high level across the life domains that matter most, beyond lifespan or even healthspan.

The Founder
Built by the guy who needed it most.
Conventional advice left Nick pre-diabetic with chronic fatigue at 18. The system he built to fix his own biology became Outliyr. He hosts High Performance Longevity, coaches as a CHEK Integrative Health Coach, and teaches the School of Biohacking certification.
