A new wave of preventative healthcare is gaining momentum as ISHP Labs expands its precision human performance platform across Canada, aiming to shift healthcare from reactive treatment to early detection and optimization. Founded by Dr. Lauren Elise Karatanevski, ISHP Labs focuses on translating advanced physiological diagnostics into clear, actionable insights that help individuals better understand and improve how their bodies function. The company combines lab-grade testing with expert analysis and ongoing education, positioning itself at the intersection of healthcare, performance science, and longevity optimization.
“Most people train and manage their health based on guesswork and a one-size-fits-all approach,” said Dr. Lauren Elise Karatanevski, Founder and CEO of ISHP Labs. “We replace that with precise diagnostic data that reveals how the body actually performs, then turn it into simple strategies people can use immediately.”
Strong growth across clinical and performance testing
ISHP Labs has reported rapid expansion over the past two years. The company more than doubled its appointments, growing from 545 at year-end 2024 to 1,207 at year-end 2025, representing a 91.8 percent increase. It is forecasting continued growth of approximately 20 percent heading into 2026.
Alongside rising demand, ISHP has expanded its physical footprint. The company now operates advanced testing labs in Toronto and Collingwood, with Ottawa scheduled to come online in 2026. It is also rolling out mobile testing capabilities designed to bring assessments directly to clients in new markets. Turning physiology into actionable intelligence
At the core of ISHP’s model is a shift in how health data is interpreted and used. Rather than leaving patients with complex diagnostic outputs, the company focuses on converting results into personalized, practical guidance.
Dr. Karatanevski described this approach as central to the company’s mission.
“Health data only matters if people can understand and act on it,” she said. “Our goal is to give people real ownership over their health by making physiology understandable, measurable, and usable.”
This includes insights into metabolic function, performance capacity, recovery, and early indicators of potential health risks, all framed in a way that supports daily decision-making.

Expansion into longevity and subscription health models
As demand grows for preventative health and longevity-focused services, ISHP Labs is preparing to scale its offerings beyond diagnostics. The company is developing a subscription-based model centered on long-term health optimization, including weight management and longevity programs.
It is also expanding partnerships across healthcare providers, fitness organizations, and corporate wellness programs, reflecting a broader industry shift toward preventative and performance-based care models. Hiring is underway in sports science, physiology, and health analytics to support the next phase of growth.
Industry observers have noted increasing interest in precision health platforms as consumers and employers look for alternatives to traditional reactive healthcare systems. ISHP’s model aligns with a growing market for data-driven wellness, where continuous measurement and personalized interventions are replacing generalized health advice.
With new labs, mobile expansion, and subscription services on the roadmap, ISHP Labs is positioning itself as part of a broader transformation in how health systems approach prevention, performance, and longevity.
