For people in Durham who step in when something needs doing — and have finally met the thing that won’t budge.
Durham runs the largest agricultural fair in New England on volunteers alone — no paid staff, roughly 1,700 people who each take a piece and make sure it holds. That’s the town in miniature: something gets done here because someone decides it’s theirs to do. Not for credit, not because anyone asked — because the alternative is watching something worth keeping fall short. You’ve been one of those people your whole life. The one who notices what needs doing and takes it on, at work, at home, wherever you are.
It isn’t one thing you could point to. The reserve you used to run on isn’t there the way it was. The energy that got you through a full day and left something over now runs out somewhere short of the end. Things you used to do on autopilot now take a push to get going, and leave you paying for it. Recovery that used to come with a night’s sleep doesn’t fully arrive. You’ve absorbed it the way you absorb everything else — without making it anyone’s problem — but it’s been quietly stacking up.
At Touchpoints180® serving Durham, CT, what’s been wearing on you has a biological explanation. Over the years, the metabolic machinery that turns fuel into steady, all-day capacity — and clears the wear that a demanding day leaves behind — starts running less efficiently, so the same day quietly costs you more than it used to.
A routine workup isn’t built to catch that kind of gradual shift, which is why the results come back unremarkable while you’re the one living the difference. What’s needed is a look at the whole system — and a physician who knows what the pattern means.
Touchpoints180 was founded by Lori Calabrese, MD, a Johns Hopkins- and Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former faculty member at Harvard Medical School and Yale School of Medicine. Touchpoints180 is a physician-led ecosystem built around Metabolic Brain and Body Health: a structured clinical pathway from understanding what’s changed to building a different trajectory — and a better future for you.
Rather than asking people to fit their lives around healthcare, Touchpoints180 serves individuals throughout Connecticut through a high-touch telemedicine model — bringing physician guidance, education, metabolic coaching, and support directly into daily life.
