The Investigation
Nobody has described
your body to you.
You have a weight, or you have the word normal. Neither one describes what your iron is doing after months of eating less, or whether the strength you had a year ago is still there.
A full blood panel, five strength tests you run at home, and a written read of what the two say together.
Two to three weeks from the day you start to the day it is in your hands.
The scale recorded how much. It did not record what came off. Fat leaving and muscle leaving look identical to a scale, and nobody has told you which one you did.
An average can't tell you
anything about yourself
In the STEP-1 extension, people regained about two thirds of what they had lost within a year of stopping semaglutide. That number gets quoted at you constantly and it can't tell you a thing about your own body, because it's drawn from thousands of women whose bodies were never described to them either.
Here is what would tell you something about yourself.
What your iron and ferritin are doing after months of eating less. Where your insulin sits now. What your thyroid markers look like. Whether your protein-related markers have held up. And whether your body still does the work it did a year ago.
None of that is on your chart.
Blood tells you one part. Performance tells you another. The Investigation puts them together.
One client's loaded carry came in at twenty-eight pounds a hand for two and a half minutes, so her grip was clearly fine. Her dead hang was under fourteen seconds.
Those two numbers told us something different about the same body. The answer turned out to be her shoulders, and her six knee push-ups confirmed it from the other direction.
Her panel would never have shown me that. Neither would any single test.
That's what an investigation is.
From the draw to the document in your hands
The panel
A comprehensive blood panel drawn at a LabCorp location, covering the markers I use to understand your current metabolic, nutritional and physiological picture, and to inform the training and fueling priorities we investigate.
One draw. Nothing in it is there to make the list look longer.
Insulin, A1c, glucose
Iron, ferritin, TIBC, saturation
Hemoglobin, hematocrit, red and white cells, platelets
Ultra-sensitive TSH, T4, free T4
Total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio
Vitamin D, B12, magnesium
CRP, ESR
Full metabolic picture, enzymes
Total, HDL, LDL, triglycerides
The Baseline
Five performance tests you run yourself at home, in about twenty minutes, with no gym. You send me the sheet.
- Getting off the floor
- A dead hang
- Push-ups
- A goblet squat
- A loaded carry
There's no passing score, and that's deliberate. Published numbers for women in midlife are thin and drawn from small samples, so nobody can honestly tell you where you rank. What these give you is a before.
The read
A written document that arrives in your inbox, written in plain language rather than printed with reference ranges beside it.
What each number means, ordered by what matters. Where the panel and the performance tests tell different stories, and what that difference points at. What to change about how you eat. What to change about how you train. And what to watch.
You read it on your own time, as many times as you want. If you'd rather talk it through afterward, we can.
That document is the deliverable. It is where The Investigation ends.
You will not be left wondering
what to do Monday morning
Your read tells you what to prioritize. The training is where you act on it.
With your document, you also get a four-week session guide. Two sessions a week, thirty to forty minutes, bodyweight only, nothing to buy, and a log sheet to record every session. They are the same sessions a Precision 90 client runs in her first weeks. What she also gets is somebody adjusting them as her numbers move.
Four weeks is deliberate. Long enough to build the habit, short enough that the next question becomes whether it is working, and that is a measurement question.
- Where you stand right now.
- Which markers deserve attention.
- What your strength is today, in numbers you can run again in twelve weeks.
- What to change about how you eat and train.

The five tests, on their own
The Baseline is step two of The Investigation, and it works without the panel. The same five tests, about twenty minutes, at home. Free, and it arrives in your inbox with a sheet to write your results on.
What you get is a before, dated, in your own handwriting, so that running the same five in twelve weeks tells you something.
The blood work is what explains why the numbers look the way they do. That can wait until you want it.
What I do with
what comes back
Sixty-some markers come back and most of them are unremarkable. The work is knowing which ones matter for you, what they say in combination, and what changes on Monday because of them. That is what you are paying for.
The line, drawn once. The Investigation is not medical care and I am not your doctor. Diagnosis and treatment belong to your physician.
When something in your results needs a doctor, I say so plainly, I help you work out which kind to see, and I tell you what to ask.
That has already happened. One client's panel had findings worth acting on and nobody to take them to, because her physician had retired a year earlier.
Four days after her read she had a cardiologist booked, a gynecologist booked, and a written list of what to ask each one.
Whether you stay on the medication, taper, or stop is your call with the person who prescribed it. My job is to make sure you can see your own body clearly while you decide.
I don't guess. I measure.
Before you decide
Do I have to be on a GLP-1?
No. This is built for a woman who wants a more complete picture of where she is now, and coming off a GLP-1 is one reason she might want one.
The Investigation works the same whether you're currently taking one, coming off one, or have never taken one at all.
What if I'm still taking it, or only thinking about stopping?
Either way. Currently taking it, tapering, three weeks off, eight months off, or still deciding. The panel and the tests describe where you are now, which is useful at every one of those points.
What if I already have recent bloodwork?
Send it before you buy anything. If it covers enough, I'll tell you what it's missing and what it would cost to fill the gap.
Where do I get the blood drawn?
Any LabCorp location that offers the required collection. The requisition and instructions arrive after purchase.
Do I need equipment for the tests?
Something to hang from and something to hold. The instructions cover substitutions.
What if I am not ready for this yet?
Run The Baseline on its own. Five tests, twenty minutes, free, no panel. You will have a before, and the blood work can come later.
Is this coaching?
No, and that is intentional. The Investigation is an assessment. It establishes your baseline and tells you what it means. If you want individualized programming and ongoing adjustment over twelve weeks, that is Precision 90.
Your $497 is applied in full toward Precision 90 when you enroll within 30 days of receiving your written read.
