High-Performance Health Defined
- High-performance health uses real-time biometrics to optimize workouts, nutrition, and recovery.
- This personalized approach contrasts with generic advice and emphasizes bio-individuality.
Biological Age Reversal
- A 42-year-old with a biological age of 67 improved to 48 in six months by addressing gut issues, heavy metals, diet, and sleep.
- This case demonstrates the potential for reversing biological age through lifestyle changes.

- Those with less ideal genetics may not achieve extremely low biological ages due to how tests measure methylation markers.
