Client: Sarah, 52 (Anonymized)

Initial Concern: Persistent afternoon fatigue, slow recovery after light exercise.

Assessment Findings: Comprehensive blood panel revealed suboptimal levels of Coenzyme Q10 and several B vitamins (B6, B9, B12), essential for cellular energy production. Lifestyle questionnaire indicated inconsistent meal timing and occasional processed food intake.

Personalized Recommendation:

1. Dietary Focus: Increase intake of whole foods rich in CoQ10 (e.g., wild-caught salmon, grass-fed beef, spinach, broccoli) and B vitamins (e.g., lentils, eggs, fortified cereals).
2. Supplementation: Begin a high-quality, liposomal B-complex supplement daily and a CoQ10 supplement (200mg/day) for targeted repletion.
3. Meal Timing: Implement consistent meal and snack times to stabilize blood sugar and energy levels.

Outcome (4 Weeks): Sarah reported a significant reduction in afternoon energy dips and improved stamina for her daily activities. Her self-reported energy levels increased by 35%, and she noted faster recovery post-walks.

Client: David, 48 (Anonymized)

Initial Concern: Difficulty falling asleep, waking up tired, unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdomen.

Assessment Findings: Salivary cortisol test revealed an elevated evening cortisol pattern, indicating a disrupted circadian rhythm and chronic sympathetic nervous system activation. Lifestyle assessment highlighted high-stress job and late-night screen time.

Personalized Recommendation:

1. Evening Routine: Implement a strict 60-minute pre-bed wind-down routine: no screens, dim lights, gentle stretching, and a guided 10-minute mindfulness meditation.
2. Supplementation: Introduce Magnesium Glycinate (200mg before bed) to support relaxation and a targeted adaptogenic herbal blend known to modulate cortisol.
3. Dietary Adjustment: Limit caffeine after 2 PM and ensure dinner is consumed at least 3 hours before sleep.

Outcome (90 Days): David's evening cortisol levels normalized, confirmed by follow-up testing. He reported falling asleep faster, experiencing deeper, uninterrupted sleep, and a noticeable reduction in anxiety. His midsection weight also began to decrease gradually.

Client: Lisa, 45 (Anonymized)

Initial Concern: Constant fatigue despite regular intense exercise, difficulty losing weight, and occasional joint pain.

Assessment Findings: Blood work showed elevated inflammatory markers (hs-CRP) and suboptimal thyroid hormone conversion. Exercise logs indicated daily high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and long-distance running, with minimal rest days. This pattern suggested overtraining stress.

Personalized Recommendation:

1. Exercise Shift: Reduce HIIT to 2x/week, replace long-distance running with brisk walking or hiking 2x/week, and incorporate 3 strength training sessions per week. Add 1-2 restorative yoga or stretching sessions.
2. Recovery Focus: Emphasize active recovery, adequate protein intake post-workout, and ensure 8 hours of sleep per night.
3. Nutritional Support: Increase Omega-3 rich foods (flaxseed, walnuts, fatty fish) and anti-inflammatory spices.

Outcome (2 Months): Lisa's inflammatory markers decreased by 20%. She reported feeling significantly less fatigued, more energized during workouts, and experienced a noticeable reduction in joint discomfort. Her body composition also began to shift positively.
