Your bloodwork might be lying to you

Published 5 days ago • 1 min read

Many physicals check cholesterol, hand you a statin, and argue if you try to get more information on your hormones or blood work.
​
Hormone clinics only look at testosterone with 2-3 biomarkers and hand out “TRT” scripts without any attention to overall health.
​
Both fail.
​
And neither builds out a nutrition program, a training program, and gives you daily coaching to optimize your health around your life or your biology.
​
But we do.
​
A big piece of that is getting lab work. Lab work helps us see what’s working, what’s not, what long-term red flags you need to monitor for your health…and then we build a solution around that info.

I put together a short document with my partners at Marek Health highlighting exactly what we test and how we integrate lab work into our coaching.

Check it out below, and if you want to learn more, let's book a call (link in the document).

You probably already know a lot about getting in shape. Eat more protein.Lift weights.Walk more.Sleep better.Stop eating like an asshole on the weekends. The people we coach usually aren’t missing information. They’re successful, driven people who’ve gotten to a point where what used to work isn’t working like it used to. I hear versions of this constantly: “I know what to do. I just need a clear plan.” Or… “I’m doing more than I used to, but somehow I look softer.” That’s exactly why we...

I used to be the guy writing articles about why men didn’t need TRT—and why women didn’t need HRT. And I had the bloodwork to back it up. My testosterone sat in the 700s–800s through my mid-20s and into my early 30s. I figured I’d stay that way forever. I was wrong. Because something happens as you get older: Life speeds up at the same time your physiology starts slowing down. And when you’re carrying more than the average person, a generic “pass/fail” approach to your labs doesn’t always...

I get asked about peptides constantly. Here's where I actually stand.Personally, I don’t use any peptides. They can work, sure.However, they're not a shortcut. They're not a replacement for sleep, protein, training, or stress management. Think of them as a force multiplier — something layered on top of fundamentals that are already dialed in, not a fix for fundamentals that aren't. Since you're on this list, here's slightly more of the real picture than I'd post publicly: the categories worth...
