uae-based hupe unveils 3-stage health optimization program

Hupe, a UAE-based health optimization platform, has introduced its comprehensive 3-Stage Program — a strategic, personalized approach to wellness that combines cutting-edge diagnostics with expert guidance and state-of-the-art health technology.

This program is designed to move beyond conventional healthcare, which often uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, Hype offers its members a structured yet flexible system that enhances both physical and mental performance while proactively addressing potential health risks.

A New Era Of Personalized Health

Stage 1: Discovery

A Hupe user’s journey begins with in-depth diagnostic testing, covering over 100 blood biomarkers, food allergies, and intolerances. Members also consult an Integrative Medicine Doctor, who conducts a detailed health assessment. These insights form the foundation for a personalized Health Insights Program, setting the stage for the next phase.

Stage 2: Personalization

With a tailored Health Insights Program in place, members receive expert guidance from a dedicated team of specialists, including Integrative Medicine Doctors, Clinical Nutritionists, Mindset Coaches, and Sports Medicine Experts.

Depending on individual needs, advanced diagnostics — such as DNA analysis, gut microbiome profiling, hormonal assessments, mycotoxin screening, and DEXA scans — may be integrated. Continuous glucose monitoring and wearable health devices feed real-time data into the Hupe App (for iOS and Android), offering a dynamic roadmap to optimized wellbeing.

Stage 3: Optimization

The final phase is a 12-month membership designed to maintain and build on the progress made in Stage 2. The customized approach allows members to continually enhance their health, extend longevity, and perform at their peak, backed by expert support and a wealth of data.

“Hupe’s 3-Stage Program is designed for those who expect more than a generic health plan — they want precision, personalization, and measurable results,” says Sami Malia, Hupe’s founder. “I created Hupe out of my own frustrations. As a former C-suite executive battling Stage 3 cancer and chronic health issues, I struggled to find a healthcare provider that looked beyond symptoms to address the root cause. So, I spent two years researching the best diagnostic tests, laboratories, and medical experts worldwide to bring them together under one roof”.

Moving Beyond Traditional Healthcare

Unlike conventional medicine, which usually focuses on treating symptoms, Hupe’s proactive model identifies potential risks and optimizes health before problems arise. In addition, because every Hupe member receives a customized health strategy tailored to their unique biology, lifestyle, and goals, guesswork is eliminated, ensuring each plan aligns precisely with an individual’s physiology and genetics.
