Keep patients on the statin, and get more out of it.
TeraHealth coaches away the muscle symptoms that make patients quit a statin, and runs a diet and exercise protocol shown to lower LDL and triglycerides and raise HDL beyond what the drug does alone — delivered inside your app, under TeraHealth’s own clinical protocols.
discontinue within the first year — most over muscle symptoms
further triglyceride reduction from adding prescription omega-3 to statin therapy, per a 2019 American Heart Association science advisory
LDL reduction from the Portfolio diet (fiber, plant sterols, soy protein, nuts) in a controlled trial — stacked on top of the statin, not instead of it
Most muscle symptoms aren’t the statin. Patients quit anyway.
Statin discontinuation runs near 50% in the first year. Blinded trials show reported muscle symptoms occur almost as often on a placebo as on the drug itself — but a patient who isn’t told that, and isn’t coached through it, stops anyway. Nobody is running that conversation, or the diet and exercise protocol that would make the statin work harder, today.
US adults on a statin (78M eligible)
discontinue within the first year
average HDL increase from aerobic exercise in a meta-analysis of 51 trials
LDL reduction from the Portfolio diet in a controlled trial, matching a common statin dose
What the evidence says, outcome by outcome
The same coaching layer that keeps a patient on the statin also runs the diet and exercise protocol shown to move the numbers the drug is prescribed to move.
Muscle symptoms
Strongest evidence-backed levers
Almost the same symptom pattern occurs on placebo and on no pill at all in blinded trials; the truly pharmacologic rate is about 0.5%, far below the ~10% reported in practice. Continued moderate exercise does not worsen symptoms in supervised trials
What TeraHealth runs and tracks
Not a treatment for the ache — expectation-setting so a patient doesn’t wrongly quit the statin or quit exercising over it, since either one gives up a real benefit the ache has nothing to do with
LDL
Strongest evidence-backed levers
The Portfolio diet — viscous fiber, plant sterols, soy protein, and nuts, combined — lowered LDL by 28.6% in a controlled trial, matching 20 mg of lovastatin. It stacks on top of the statin, not instead of it
What TeraHealth runs and tracks
A dosed nutrition plan tracked against a 12-week lipid recheck
Triglycerides
Strongest evidence-backed levers
Statins already lower triglycerides somewhat, more at higher doses; structured aerobic exercise and omega-3 intake move them further — a 2019 American Heart Association science advisory, reviewing 17 randomized trials, found prescription omega-3 lowers triglycerides by a further 20–30% whether taken alone or added to a statin
What TeraHealth runs and tracks
A training plan and an omega-3 protocol tracked against the same lipid panel
HDL
Strongest evidence-backed levers
Statins raise HDL only modestly; a meta-analysis of 51 aerobic-exercise trials found a 4.6% average HDL increase with 12 or more weeks of training
What TeraHealth runs and tracks
An aerobic activity target, tracked over 12 weeks
New-onset diabetes risk
Strongest evidence-backed levers
Statins raise new-onset diabetes risk by about 10%, concentrated in patients near the diagnostic threshold; a lifestyle intervention producing modest weight loss cut diabetes incidence by 58% in a landmark trial — several times the protective effect needed to offset it
What TeraHealth runs and tracks
A weight-management protocol with a glucose recheck at 12 weeks
How TeraHealth helps
A registered dietitian and a specialized trainer build the plan under TeraHealth’s clinical protocols, with a licensed physician available to review any finding that needs one. The Tera Coaching App carries the plan daily.
Intake
Health history, medications, the statin and dose, and any labs.
Safety check
One health picture, so no plan contradicts a condition.
Plan
A dietitian and a trainer build a pre-set phase plan under TeraHealth’s clinical protocols.
Daily coaching
Meals, sessions, logs, and an AI coach — inside your app, under your brand.
Lifestyle only. The app never recommends a medication or a dose change. Any dose question is hers to bring to her own doctor — the app doesn’t assume it’s already been reviewed by one.
Statin discontinuation runs near 50% in the first year — and the generic manufacturer has no budget to fix it. A retail pharmacy can offer this as an upsell the moment a statin prescription is filled — on the order-confirmation page, by text, or by email — a Medicare Advantage plan can offer it because it’s paid on adherence, and a patient can simply buy it herself.
Part D adherence Star measures Medicare Advantage plans are scored on — statins is one of them
Safety and clinical governance
Every plan runs under TeraHealth’s own clinical protocols. The app coaches lifestyle; it never touches the prescription, and it doesn’t assume the prescribing doctor has reviewed it.
Practitioner-signed
A licensed dietitian and trainer build the plan under TeraHealth’s clinical protocols. It is not reviewed by the doctor who wrote the original statin prescription — TeraHealth’s own physician reviews anything that needs one instead.
Auditable by design
The Clinical Reasoning Engine works from a curated, cited clinical knowledge base — reasoning is traceable at every step, and the AI only summarizes for the practitioner to decide.
