About

I'm Jacob Parker.

I read health data for a living, and I build the plan that moves it. Evidence-first, honest about what we do and do not know, and firmly in your corner.

// my background

Three skills, pointed at one problem.

I did not arrive at this from one direction. I studied biology, so I spent years reading the mechanisms in the primary literature rather than headlines. I worked as a scientist in the medical industry, giving me a much deeper understanding of drug development and research. Then I spent years in data analysis at a leading global investment bank, where the whole job is finding real signal in noisy numbers, finding and fixing problems and presenting data in a meaningful way.

Parker Health is those three things pointed at one problem: reading your health data properly, and building a plan that actually moves it.

Biology degree

The science from the source, not the headline.

Medical research

Years as a scientist inside the medical industry.

Data analysis

Signal from noise, honed in investment banking.

// why parker health

For the people the system keeps sending home.

I kept meeting people who had been told their results were normal, and who clearly were not well. Small issues that a little attention would have caught early, left to quietly become big ones.

That is who this is for. Someone in your corner who takes the time to get to the root cause, on real data, and stops small problems becoming large ones. Call it modern functional medicine if you like. I care less about the label than about the result.

// how I grade everything

Honest about what we know.

I separate what is established from what is emerging from what is still speculative, and I never let those layers blur. Where the human data runs out, I will still lean and give you my best read, but I will tell you plainly that it is my reasoning and not a proven fact. Absence of proof is not proof of absence. Every substantive claim carries its grade, and my opinions are labelled as mine.

Established

Consistent human trial data, or overwhelming replicated evidence with no credible dissent.

Let's talk.

Tell me what is going on. I will tell you honestly whether I can help, and exactly what it would involve.
