For athletes, performance isn’t just about being “healthy”—it’s about being optimal. Bloodwork allows us to go beyond the surface, assessing critical markers like hormones, nutrient status, inflammation, and recovery capacity. This data gives a clear picture of how the body is functioning under the demands of intense training, fat loss phases, or competition prep. Athletes often train at a higher intensity and may need to maintain lower levels of body fat, which places significant stress on the body—particularly the endocrine system. This can lead to hormonal dysfunction in both males and females. In females, we commonly see disruptions in the menstrual cycle, which is a major red flag for health, performance, and recovery. In males, under-fueling and overtraining often result in reduced testosterone levels, leading to difficulty building muscle, lower energy, and diminished athletic output. Using your bloodwork results, Jake can create a precise supplementation protocol and optimise your nutrition strategy—not just to support health, but to accelerate fat loss, improve hormonal balance, boost muscle growth, and ultimately enhance sport performance. The goal isn't to be average—it's to perform at your peak.
