Quiz Outcomes

1.
Energy & Recovery

You might recognize this pattern if:You hit a midday energy dip even after decent sleepYou find yourself needing caffeine, sugar, or quick snacks to stay focusedYou feel more depleted than recharged after workouts or busy days First steps to focus your efforts:Pay attention to how your body responds to meals, sleep, and stress Support steady energy with protein-rich breakfasts, consistent meal timing, and real recovery daysFoundational labs like glucose, insulin, A1C, and cortisol can reveal how your body is handling energy demands. Functional testing (like the Organic Acids Test or Metabolomix) can uncover early blocks in mitochondrial health, nutrient metabolism, or changes in stress hormones.Your Next Step:If you’re looking for a structured, lab-informed strategy tailored to your pattern— schedule a call to get started.
2.
Mood & Cognitive

You might recognize this pattern if: You feel more impatient, distracted or reactive than usual You're having difficulty focusing or staying motivated Sleep is disrupted or no longer feels fully restorativeFirst steps to focus your efforts:Pay attention to shifts in mood, focus after meals, exercise, or sleepPrioritize sleep consistency, gentle recovery (walking, breathing, or time outside), and higher protein meals, especially breakfastFoundational labs such as magnesium, vitamin B12, and glucose can offer clues to neuroendocrine stressTo assess deeper patterns, functional testing to evaluate hormones or neurotransmitters can offer insight in cortisol, amino acids, and nutrient support.Your Next Step:If you’re looking for a structured, lab-informed strategy tailored to you and your pattern— schedule a call to get started.
3.
Body Composition & Metabolism

You might recognize this pattern if:Weight is creeping up—even though your habits haven’t changedYour body composition is shifting, especially around the middleYou feel hungrier between meals or more sensitive to carbsFirst steps to focus your efforts:Prioritize meals that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats — especially early in the dayPrioritize strength training to support muscle mass and metabolic stabilityFoundational labs like fasting glucose, insulin, A1C, thyroid markers, and cholesterol can highlight early metabolic shiftsFunctional testing such as Metabolomics or hormone testing can assess how your body is handling nutrient signaling, mitochondrial output, and fat storage regulationYour Next Step:If you’re looking for a structured, lab-informed strategy tailored to you and your pattern— schedule a call to get started.
4.
Inflammation & Gut/Skin
Image Source
You might recognize this pattern if:Your digestion feels unpredictable — bloating, discomfort, or shifts in regularitySkin changes like redness, breakouts, or irritation have become more commonYou feel puffy, inflamed, or more sensitive to foods or productsFirst steps to focus your efforts:Begin identifying patterns in digestion, skin changes, or environmental reactions. Notice if symptoms tend to flare after certain meals, stress, or sleep disruptions.Reduce inflammatory load with whole foods, stable meal timing, and digestive supportFoundational labs like hs-CRP, vitamin D, a CBC, and liver markers can help assess early signs of immune activation or inflammation. Functional testing options such as GI stool test or nutrient testing can reveal where your system needs additional support.Your Next Step:If you’re looking for a structured, lab-informed strategy tailored to you and your pattern— schedule a call to get started.
