About this course
Health & Performance is the course that treats the body like the prime input it is. Sleep, food, movement, recovery, hormones, brain. The framing is honest about what's well-established (a lot), what's emerging (some of what the wellness internet treats as gospel), and what's speculative (most longevity protocols sold by people with something to sell).
The five micro-courses cover metabolic mastery (the small set of numbers that quietly predict most lifestyle-disease risk); sleep and circadian rhythm (the multiplier on every other intervention); brain and mental health (what protects cognition over decades); strength and lifelong mobility (why grip and leg strength predict longevity better than VO2max for older adults); and hormones, fertility, and the long game of ageing (educational only, conservative, no protocols).
Sequencing matters. Most readers should start with sleep, then strength, then metabolic basics, then brain and hormones. This is the order we run people through in the Health Foundations for Busy Adults learning path.
Health content here is educational, not medical advice. We don't prescribe, diagnose, recommend doses, or endorse specific supplements, peptides, or hormones for individuals. If a topic touches medication, fertility, hormones, or a clinical concern, please work with a qualified clinician.
Who this course is for
- Time-poor adults (30s-60s) who want a defensible health baseline before optimising.
- People who own too many supplements and not enough consistent sleep.
- Adults navigating the start of perimenopause / andropause / midlife shifts who want educational framing before reaching for protocols.
- Anyone whose self-image is “healthy enough” but whose labs would tell a different story.
Common problems this course helps with
- “I sleep 7 hours but feel exhausted by 3 pm.”
- “I've done five diets and none stuck.”
- “I've never trained strength properly and I'm noticing the cost.”
- “My labs are ‘normal’ but I feel off.”
- “I'm worried about cognitive decline in my family and don't know what to act on.”
- “I'm sold the next supplement every week and want to know what actually matters.”
- “I'm in perimenopause / on TRT / curious about peptides and want a non-hype source.”
