Find my starting pointWhat is the PREKURE Clinic?
An online clinic where a certified PREKURE Coach gives you regular 1:1 coaching over 6 to 12 weeks, a PREKURE Doctor is there when you need one (opening soon), and your progress is measured on your own Metabolic Map.
We're building it the way the best academic medical centres work, with research and care under one roof. PREKURE already brings together professors, PhD researchers, practising clinicians and the more than 1,000 health coaches we've trained.
With your permission, what we learn in the clinic will feed back into the research, and the research back into your personalised care.

What's included.
A coach in your corner
A Certified PREKURE Coach who listens first and starts with what matters to you. Together you change the habits underneath your health, one practical step at a time. Then they check in regularly over 6 to 12 weeks, until it sticks.
Support with ongoing health problems
PREKURE Doctor appointments are opening soon. The aim is to give you more time to get to what’s behind health problems that are hard to shift.
Measured outcomes
You choose what matters. We measure it through your programme, on your Metabolic Map, and show you what changed.
Science that informs your care
Our approach draws on PREKURE's work in public health and cutting-edge metabolic science and behaviour change.
Why we built the clinic.
Modern medicine is brilliant at what it was built for.
If you break a leg, have a heart attack or need surgery, you want a hospital and a good doctor. It's very good at diagnosing disease and treating it with medicines and procedures.
However, it's not so good at cutting edge behavioural and metabolic medicine: helping people change how they eat, sleep, move and handle stress, and staying with them long enough for it to last.
A standard GP appointment is fifteen minutes. Often long enough to get a prescription, but rarely long enough to get to what’s behind it.
The science of behavioural and metabolic health has moved fast over the last ten years, but very little of it has made it into everyday care. The PREKURE Clinic is where it does.
Professor Grant SchofieldCo-founder and Chief Science Officer, PREKURE
Get in earlier. People should be able to get support before a health problem becomes harder to manage. We start with what is happening now and the practical changes you can make.
Prevention is cure. Prevention is at the heart of PREKURE. Everyday habits can help prevent some health problems and improve others. We help you work on those habits alongside the clinical care you need.
Behaviour is medicine. Knowing what to do is only the start. Food, sleep, movement and stress all matter, but changes have to fit your life. Your coach works with you to turn a plan into habits you can keep.
Research and care in the same place. The clinic sits beside PREKURE's science team, so current metabolic and behavioural research shapes the care you get. As you go, your coach uses what you learn together to adjust your plan.
World-class ambition, New Zealand scale. We think a small country can be among the best in the world at keeping people well. Research, teaching and clinical practice work under one roof to make that happen.
Frequently asked questions.
How much does it cost?
There are two ways to start.
Start with a coach. Your first step is a 30-minute Action Plan Session with a PREKURE Coach. It’s free for the first 100 bookings. Coaching programmes start at $490 NZD for 6 weeks, and every programme includes your Metabolic Map.
Start with a PREKURE Doctor. PREKURE Doctor appointments are opening soon. When bookings open, a 30-minute online consultation with a PREKURE GP, plus your Metabolic Map, will cost $299 NZD.* If you then start a coaching programme within 30 days, $150 of that fee goes towards it. For a $490 6-week programme, you would pay $340 more for coaching, making $639 in total for the GP consultation, Metabolic Map and programme.
You’ll see all options and pricing before you book anything. All prices include GST.
*The $299 GP consultation and Metabolic Map fee is not refunded if you choose not to start coaching. This doesn’t affect your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
What happens in the free Action Plan Session?
A 30-minute online video call. You’ll talk through your story, what matters most to you and what’s getting in the way. If a programme makes sense, your coach will explain the options and pricing, with no pressure to sign up.
Do I need a referral?
No.
How is this different from my GP?
PREKURE works alongside your GP. It doesn’t replace them. Your GP diagnoses conditions, prescribes medicines and manages your medical care. A PREKURE Coach works with you over several weeks on the everyday habits that shape your health: food, sleep, movement and stress. Together you track your progress on your Metabolic Map. PREKURE Doctor appointments are opening soon, with longer consultations so there’s more time to talk through your health in depth.
