The First Hybrid Program

Your Relationship Doesn't Need
More Talking.
It Needs a System Rewire.

The first program that combines personal training for each partner with the 8-module Zeaba Couples Protocol. Because couples therapy can't work when both nervous systems are running on empty.

Why Couples Therapy Alone Isn't Working.

You've done couples therapy. You learned the scripts. Then stress hit and everything you learned evaporated in 3 seconds.
One of you is always "the problem." The framework keeps blaming personality instead of neurology.
Date nights, communication tools, love languages — none of it survives a bad week at work.
You fight about the same three things. Over and over. The pattern never changes because the wiring hasn't changed.
You both know what you SHOULD do. You can't do it when it matters — in the moment, when your nervous system takes over.
The therapist asks you to be vulnerable. But your nervous system reads your partner as a threat. You can't override neurobiology with instructions.
Category of One

The Training Fuels the Therapy.
The Therapy Gives the Training Purpose.

No one on earth combines personal training with a molecular-neuroscience-based couples protocol. This is a Category of One.

Here's why the hybrid works: every couples therapy modality fails when V2 is depleted. V2 is your neurochemical state — serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, GABA, norepinephrine. When V2 is low, your prefrontal cortex goes offline. When your PFC goes offline, you lose V5 — consciousness, the witness, the ability to observe your own reaction instead of being consumed by it.

Zone 2 cardio is the single most powerful V2 restoration tool on earth. It raises serotonin, BDNF, and vagal tone. It tunes the brain to criticality — the exact state where neuroplasticity happens. Without it, the couples protocol has no neurochemical foundation to build on.

Your couples therapist tells you to communicate better. Your trainer tells you to work harder. Neither knows they're treating the same system. I do.

The Equation: Relationship Behavior = f(V1, V2, V3, V4, V5) × ΔTime. Your partner's nervous system IS your V3 (environment). Their words are V4 (content — the least important variable). Your engram history is V1. Your neurochemistry is V2. And V5 — consciousness — is the only variable that can interrupt the pattern in real time. But V5 goes offline first when V2 is depleted.

The Dual System

Two Tracks. Running in Parallel.
Feeding Each Other.

Track 1
Individual V2 Optimization
Personal Training for Each Partner
  • Zone 2 cardio 3x/week (ANP production, vagal tone restoration)
  • Strength training 2–3x/week per partner
  • Sleep protocol (fixed wake time, temperature, screen cutoff)
  • Nutrition protocol (anti-inflammatory, blood sugar stability)
  • V2 daily self-report tracking (polyvagal, emotional, mental)
  • Parasympathetic restoration exercises between sessions

Each partner trains individually. The goal: raise the neurochemical baseline high enough that the couples work can actually take hold.

Track 2
Zeaba Couples Protocol
8-Module Relationship Rewire
  • System Mapping — both partners' V1–V5 architecture
  • V3 Principle — your chronic V2 state IS your partner's environment
  • Power Levels — why PL5 impacts are 100,000x stronger
  • Cross-Link ID — which traits activate which engrams
  • 130ms Protocol — shared dysregulation signals and pause protocols
  • Co-Regulation — ventral vagal exercises together
  • Repair & Reconsolidation — recoding under safety
  • Maintenance & ΔTime — long-term system practices

Couples sessions (biweekly or weekly). Based on the science published at zeaba.ai/relationships.

The Science

Built on Molecular Neuroscience.
Not Personality Tests.

The Zeaba Model is the first unified behavioral science framework — integrating molecular neuroscience, chaos theory, quantum biology, polyvagal theory, and mathematical measurement into one equation: B = f(V1, V2, V3, V4, V5) × ΔTime.

In relationships, the math becomes exponential. Your spouse operates at Power Level 5 — meaning their impact on your nervous system is 100,000 times greater than a stranger's. Their voice frequency can cross-link with engrams encoded decades before you met. The 130ms latency gap between amygdala activation and prefrontal access means two limbic systems can enter a feedback loop with no conscious override in less than 5 seconds.

Every major couples therapy modality — Gottman, EFT, Imago, PACT, RLT — is describing a different facet of this molecular reality. The Zeaba Model provides the unified framework that explains why they all work when they work, and why they fail when they fail.

The Protocol

Eight Modules. Sixteen Weeks.
One Complete Relationship Rewire.

Module 1
System Mapping
Weeks 1–2
Each partner maps their V1–V5 architecture. Identify key engrams, V2 baseline, environmental factors, triggers, and V5 capacity.
Module 2
The V3 Principle
Weeks 3–4
You ARE each other's environment. Learn how neuroception reads your partner's autonomic state — not their words.
Module 3
Power Levels
Weeks 5–6
Why partner impact is exponential, not linear. Map specific CTZ scores for relationship-relevant engrams.
Module 4
Cross-Link ID
Weeks 7–8
Forensic mapping of which sensory signatures in Partner A activate which engrams in Partner B, and vice versa.
Module 5
130ms Protocol
Weeks 9–10
Train to recognize the latency gap in real time. Develop shared signals for "V5 is offline" and structured pause protocols.
Module 6
Co-Regulation
Weeks 11–12
Active ventral vagal co-regulation exercises. Use your nervous system state to regulate the other's. Build Ventral–Ventral.
Module 7
Repair
Weeks 13–14
Structured repair sequences using the reconsolidation window. Recode cross-linked engrams under safety.
Module 8
Maintenance
Weeks 15–16
Build the long-term practice. Daily V3 audits, weekly system checks, monthly reviews. Change what ΔTime multiplies.

Is This For You?

This Program Is Built for Couples
Who Are Done with Band-Aids.

🔁
Stuck in the Loop
You fight about the same things over and over. The pattern never changes because the wiring hasn't changed. Communication skills don't survive the 130ms gap.
💬
Post-Therapy
You've done couples therapy. You learned the tools. They work in the therapist's office and evaporate under real stress. Because the neurochemistry was never addressed.
💼
High-Performing Couples
Both successful individually. Relationship suffering because the same drive that fuels careers depletes V2. Two depleted systems triggering each other at PL5.
👶
New Parents
The stress of children has depleted both nervous systems. Sleep loss, chronic cortisol, zero recovery time. The relationship is running on fumes.
🔧
Rebuilding After Crisis
Infidelity, loss, trauma, major life change. The old pattern is broken and you need a new one built from the molecular level up.
🛡
Preventative
Not in crisis but smart enough to build resilience before it hits. Understand your system now so ΔTime compounds in the right direction.

The Process

Five Steps from Where You Are
to Where You Want to Be.

01
Free Discovery Call (30 min)
One or both partners. We talk through your relationship history, recurring patterns, and what you've already tried. I'll be honest about whether this program is right for your situation.
02
Individual Assessments
Each partner completes a full Zeaba Model V1–V5 assessment. We map your engram architecture, neurochemical baseline, environmental factors, common triggers, and V5 capacity. This is the blueprint.
03
Cross-Link Session
A couples session where we map the interaction architecture — which of Partner A's characteristics activate which of Partner B's engrams, and vice versa. The forensic work that no other program does.
04
Dual Track Launch
Individual training begins for each partner (Track 1) alongside the first couples protocol module (Track 2). Both tracks run in parallel from this point forward.
05
Ongoing Protocol + Training
Biweekly protocol modules, weekly training sessions, continuous V2 tracking, and real-time adjustments. As your neurochemistry improves, the couples work deepens. The system feeds itself.

Common Questions

FAQ

Do both partners have to train?
Yes. The training IS the neurochemical foundation. Without V2 restoration for both partners, the couples protocol doesn't have the substrate to build on. This is not optional fitness — it is structural.
What if only one partner is willing?
Start with 1:1 Coaching. One partner changing their V2 baseline and V3 output changes the environment for both. When the other sees the shift, they often join.
Is this couples therapy?
No. It is a couples protocol based on molecular neuroscience. I am not a licensed therapist. I am a behavioral scientist and personal trainer who built the Zeaba Model over 25 years of research. If you need clinical therapy, I can work alongside your therapist — the V2 optimization makes existing therapy more effective.
Do we need to be in DC?
In-person is preferred for the physical training component (Washington Harbour, Georgetown). Remote is available for the couples protocol modules and coaching check-ins. Hybrid arrangements work well.
How long is the program?
16 weeks minimum (8 modules, biweekly). Extended to 24 weeks for deeper cross-link work or if V2 baselines need longer to stabilize. Most couples continue with maintenance sessions after graduation.
What if we're already in therapy?
This complements therapy powerfully. V2 optimization makes existing therapy sessions dramatically more productive because both partners arrive with V5 online. I'm happy to coordinate with your therapist.
How much does it cost?
Investment is discussed on the discovery call based on your specific program design. This is a premium, individualized service that includes training for two people plus the couples protocol. If you've invested in therapy that hasn't worked, this addresses the layer that therapy can't reach.
Can we do the protocol without the training?
Not recommended. The training is not a bonus — it is structural. Without V2 restoration, the protocol doesn't have the neurochemical foundation to hold. The training IS the therapy foundation.
