About Qonscious Health

Agency is the foundation.

Qonscious Health was founded by Dr. Jarik Conrad around a simple conviction: people need more than information to make lasting changes. They need understanding, meaningful choices, and support that fits the conditions of their lives.

A personal purpose

Built from lived experience.
Grounded in agency.

Dr. Jarik Conrad founded Qonscious Health after seeing chronic illness affect his own family, including the loss of his sister Jessica to complications of diabetes in 2023.

His work brings behavioral science and emotional-intelligence education to a deeply personal question: what helps people put healthier choices into practice?

Choice exists
in context.

Culture, cost, convenience, and daily demands influence what people do. Recognizing those influences helps us move beyond blame and toward useful support. Agency grows when people can see their options and practice actions that are within reach.

Intelligence™

Neurometabolic Intelligence™ is the Qonscious framework connecting how people think, feel, and act with the daily patterns that influence metabolic health. It guides how we bring reflection, learning, and coaching together to support greater agency.

A broad purpose.
A focused beginning.

Qonscious was conceived with seven lifestyle-related chronic health challenges in view. We are beginning with type 2 diabetes and safety-net organizations so that our work has a clear focus. That starting point sits within a longer-term commitment to whole-person health and greater agency in everyday life.
