Stop guessing what's holding back your metabolism, fat loss, or muscle gains.

Learn how to use performance bloodwork analysis to identify your body's biggest constraint and fix it using the engineering principle of Constraint Theory.

Main Takeaways:

  • Your body is an engineering system limited by its weakest link
  • Performance bloodwork uses optimal ranges (not just "normal" disease-prevention ranges) to identify constraints
  • Pattern recognition reveals hidden issues that standard bloodwork misses (like being both inflamed and dehydrated)
  • Max impact interventions can improve 5-7 biomarkers at once instead of chasing individual symptoms
  • The most efficient improvement comes from using a feedback loop to identify your constraints
