Doman Health · Health coaching in Ogden, Utah

Discover your best self.

I went from cancer and nearly 100 pounds overweight to fit and healthy, and I feel better today than I did at my peak as a young adult. That is the real goal here: not just the best version of yourself, but a better one than you thought was still available. It is a lot of small decisions, and it is not slow. Stacked in the right order, the body answers in weeks. Every decision compounds, built around your body and your actual life.

How it works

How Doman Health works, in under a minute

What I actually work on

Everything affects everything else.

Weight is rarely a weight problem. It is a sleep problem, a glucose problem, a stress problem, or all three at once. This is the ground I cover with people.

Hover to pause.

Pull on one and the rest move. That is why a plan built on a single lever stalls, and why the right order moves everything at once. Small decisions, fast results.

Two more from the heavy years. I was not hiding it. I just did not know yet.

Why I do this

I was fat. I was sick. I had cancer.

280peak → 180today

I had been overweight since I was a teenager. Then came a cancer diagnosis. I chose a path that did not include chemotherapy, radiation, or traditional cancer drugs, and I rebuilt my body through food, sleep, movement, rest, and the right support. My health came back. So did my life.

What I learned on the way is the thing this whole practice rests on. Everything affects everything else. Sleep changes what you eat. What you eat changes your glucose. Your glucose changes your energy, your mood, your decisions, and whether your body will let go of weight at all.

One better decision led to the next, and the next, until everything changed. Not slowly, either. Once the order was right, the weight came off faster than anything I had tried in twenty years. That is the whole method. Everything compounds.

I am not a doctor and I do not treat disease. Anything medical stays between you and your physician, and when something belongs in front of a doctor, I will say so and point you to one.

The questions I get most

Peptides, and using AI without getting hurt by it.

Two areas where the information is uneven, moves fast, and a lot of confident advice comes from people with something to sell.

On peptides. I have used them personally for years and I know this space well. What I bring is experience and context: what the research actually says and where it stops, how to think about quality and sourcing, which questions are worth taking to a physician, and which answers should make you walk away. Where something belongs with a doctor, I say so, and I make referrals.

On AI. I teach people how to use AI for their own health, which is harder than it looks. It will hand you confident, badly wrong advice if you ask it badly, and the model you pick matters. I show you how to ask, how to check what comes back, and how to build something you actually understand and can adjust yourself.

Either way, decisions about what goes into your body stay between you and your physician. My experience is offered as experience.

The order that matters

Most people start at the top. That is the problem.

The Doman Health Hierarchy

Seven levers, built from the ground up. Nothing near the peak holds without the base.

Tap a tier to see what it means.

This is the order I lost the weight in, and the order I coach in. Exercise is near the top on purpose.

Writing

Start with the one that primes the rest.

Long, free, and written the way I actually think. Begin here, then the weight loss series picks up the thread, with more writing beyond it as it comes.

Health coaching in Ogden, Utah

Questions people ask first.

Where is Doman Health?

Doman Health is a health coaching practice in the Ogden area of Northern Utah. Consults happen at Laird's office at 5492 S 500 E, Washington Terrace, UT 84405, a few minutes from Ogden, South Ogden, Riverdale and Roy. Clients come from across Weber and Davis counties and the rest of Utah.

Do I have to meet in person?

In person at the Washington Terrace office is the best way to do it, but it is not required. If you cannot make it in, or you live outside Utah, the consult and coaching work by phone or Zoom.

How much does it cost?

The one-time, one-hour consult is $149 and includes the Doman Health Wellness Guide. Ongoing coaching is $199 a month with weekly check-ins, month to month.

Is Doman Health medical advice?

No. Doman Health provides health guidance, education and coaching, not medical diagnosis or treatment. Anything medical stays between you and your physician, and when something belongs in front of a doctor, Laird will say so and point you to one.

What do you actually work on with clients?

Metabolic health, blood sugar, food order, meal planning, macros, water fasting, sleep and recovery, stress, strength training, longevity, reading your own bloodwork, peptide education, and how to use AI to run your own plan. Weight is rarely a weight problem, so the work is the whole picture.

What does “every decision compounds” mean?

Sleep changes what you eat. What you eat changes your glucose. Your glucose changes your energy, your mood and your decisions. One better decision leads to the next, and the results stack. That is how Laird lost nearly 100 pounds and how he coaches.

About Laird

Who you would actually be talking to.

I have been overweight since I was a teenager, and I tried everything a reasonable person tries. In 2023 I was diagnosed with cancer. I chose a path that did not include chemotherapy, radiation, or traditional cancer drugs, and I wrote myself an eleven-page protocol so I would not be standing in the kitchen at 6pm making decisions I was too tired to make well. Three years later I am fit, healthy, and cancer-free, 100 pounds lighter, and I feel better than I did at 22.

I wore a continuous glucose monitor for six straight months and watched foods I had believed in for years spike my blood sugar hour after hour. That is where this practice comes from: measure the actual person, not the average. It is the same idea my father built NACD on in 1979, and the one I grew up inside, traveling with him to evaluations as a kid. I still run NACD’s operations today.

Day to day: water fasting, strength training, the post-meal walk, sauna, cold plunge, pickleball, and a lot of reading. I have a wife and two kids in South Weber, Utah, which is most of the reason I take this seriously. I am a functional health coach, not a doctor, and I will tell you when something belongs in front of one.

Lived it: Cancer recovery without chemotherapy or radiation. Peaked at 280 pounds, around 180 today. Six months wearing a continuous glucose monitor, logged and reviewed.
Works on: Metabolic health, nutrition, sleep and stress, water fasting, movement sequencing, strength, longevity, anti-aging and healthspan, recovery, peptides.
Also teaches: How to use AI for your own health without getting bad advice from it. Which models to trust, how to ask, and how to check what comes back.
Across clients: More than 2,000 pounds lost, and counting.
Family background: Son of Bob Doman, founder of NACD, 45 years in individualized human development. Grandson of Dr. Robert Doman Sr., Medical Director of the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential.
Writing: The Doman Health weight loss series, a seven-part walk through the whole hierarchy. Four published, free to read.
Not: A physician. I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. I work alongside your doctor, and refer out when that is what you need.
Based: Northern Utah. I live in South Weber, and I meet clients at my office in Washington Terrace, just south of Ogden. Can’t make it in? Phone and Zoom work too.

Forty-five years in the making

Individuality is the family business.

My father, Bob Doman, founded NACD and spent forty-five years proving that no two people develop the same way and no plan should treat them as if they do. My grandfather, Dr. Robert Doman Sr., was Medical Director of the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. I grew up inside the idea that your body is not an average. It is yours.

Doman Health is that same idea, applied to adult health, by someone who had to use it to save his own.
