AT A GLANCE
Vitality, our energy available to think, feel and act, is a top asset, and our best defense against premature aging and preventable disease. It dictates our ability to heal and regenerate and influences every aspect of our life. Yet it is poorly understood and inadequately supported. As a result, it typically declines from our 3rd decade on. Fortunately, when addressed soon enough, with the right understanding, systems and support, it can be improved. Yet once it declines beyond a point, it becomes much more difficult, and at times it’s not possible, to fully recover it. Don’t let this happen to you or your loved ones. This Lab will lay the foundation for you to understand your vitality in important new ways. Equipping you to effectively trend it going forward, learning what works for you and what does not and making the adaptations you need to build and preserve it.
HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
- How does the ability to measure and trend key biomarkers of your vitality and functional health, influence your understandings? How will new, deeper understandings influence your choices and habits?
- Will being able to accurately gauge how a new habit is impacting your health make it easier to decide whether to keep it or not?
- How much time, attention, money and effort might you save by being able to determine how you are responding to new habits more objectively?
- How much more vital and successful might you become when equipped and empowered in this way?
HYPOTHESIS
Our vitality is a critical and finite resource that influences every aspect of our lives. Our vitality is dependent on the quality of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Each of us have potential for levels of vitality and resilience which we have yet to explore.
We cannot improve on what we do not know. We cannot know what we do not measure. To understand what we measure more effectively, we are best to trend it over time.
Engaging this Lab and the physiologic biomarker assessments it details, will result in deeper understanding of your vitality. Understandings that empower you to invest your attention and energy in new ways. Ways that will pay you higher dividends and improve the quality of your life.
