Now more than ever we need a credible voice in science and medicine. The reason for this is 2-fold. On the one hand there is a deep distrust of the current healthcare industry where the business model is “No-one gets paid till you get sick.” On the flip side are influencers, untrained or inappropriately trained individuals touting simplistic and incomplete solutions for health.
In response to this atmosphere of distrust, fear, fake news and lack of direction I’ve created Wellth-e, an e-zine dedicated to deep dives on the latest science and medical developments. Wellth-e is complete with references to the latest research, and produced with my usual OCD rigor to accuracy. But knowledge is only half the solution. The other half is Action. To this end, Wellth-e is published as a Main Issue every month, accompanied by 3 weekly supplements per issue with a checklist of action steps to address the topic of the month. That’s why Wellth-e’s tagline is: Evidence distilled. Action Amplified.
Each main issue of Wellth-e has 6 sections: Pulse (latest news and updates on health), Psyche (brain effects, mindset, mind-body solutions), Probe (deep dives into the science/mechanisms), Prosper (compounding health through investments and opportunities), Phagocyte/Play (things I’ve been thinking about or doing), Postscript (summary and takeaways on the Main Topic).
And why Wellth-e?
Old Germanic wela, from which “well-being” and “wealth” arise, led to the Middle English word, wellthe. This e-zine is dedicated to Living Wellth-e, with vigor and vitality. It is to thrive, excel and flourish well beyond mere riches. It is the abundance and exuberance that is Life. Wellth-e is your e-zine for translating science into Human Performance Medicine.
Who is Wellth-e for?
My dream reader is someone who understands the difference between being Rich and being Wealthy. Rich people just have Money. Wealthy people have Money and Time. And I’ve noticed that the wealthiest people spend most of their Money buying Time. The only true currency of value that we own is our health. Longevity and anti-aging are secondary to how functional our bodies are and what we can get out of them in this lifetime. The aim and quality of living are expressed in the functionality and performance our bodies provide. Trials and tribulations come to all but they’re far easier bourne on a Ferrari than a tricycle. My dream reader understands this and invests in Human Performance Medicine, the science of engineering our bodies for the fullness of what life offers.
To Life!

Wellth-e‘s Founder
Dr. Vyvyane Loh is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, a novelist, dancer, and founder of Wellth-e — a platform dedicated to human performance, metabolic health, and the science of living at full capacity.
She began her academic life in the classics, studying Ancient Greek, Latin, and Biology, before earning her MD and completing her residency in Internal Medicine, where she also served as Chief Resident. She later earned an MFA in Fiction from Warren Wilson College and became both a Radcliffe Institute Fellow and Guggenheim Fellow in Fiction.
Dr. Loh has spoken at national medical conferences, presented to diverse public audiences, and been a guest on numerous podcasts. Across medicine, literature, and movement, her work is driven by a singular, lifelong preoccupation:
How do humans think, move, and metabolize in ways that maximize performance, resilience, and the ability to live life at our fullest potential?
Her teaching blends rigorous metabolic and physiological science with a literary sensibility, clarifying the relationships among muscle, immunity, body composition, stress, and behavior. As a dancer, she studies movement as a foundational intelligence and uses this perspective to understand performance, aging, and the neuromechanics of the human body.
She is the creator and host of vlmd rounds, a podcast where she dismantles complex biology and reframes it into meaning, agency, and actionable clarity.
Wellth-e is the culmination of her interdisciplinary work — a home for people who want depth, precision, and beauty in their pursuit of optimal health and human performance.
Her mission:
To bring brilliance and humanity back into medicine, and to equip people with the physiological and psychological tools to live at their highest capability.
