RESULTS

15–22: Regulated & Responsive

Your system appears well-regulated and adaptable. Your body is likely able to receive and utilize nutrients effectively, and your foundational systems such as your blood sugar, nervous system, and digestion are working in your favor.

Focus: Maintain consistency and support what’s already working.

23–34: Early Dysregulation

You’re beginning to see signs that your system is under strain. This is often where subtle symptoms show up like energy dips, mild sleep disruption, occasional cravings.

Focus: Supporting blood sugar stability and daily rhythm can make a significant impact here.

35–48: Compensating but Stressed

Your body is working hard to keep up, but underlying stress and imbalance are showing through. You may be relying on caffeine, supplements, or willpower to get through the day.

Focus: Shift from doing more → supporting regulation (nervous system, digestion, recovery).

49–60: Dysregulated & Depleted

Your system is likely operating in a chronically dysregulated state. This can impact energy, mood, digestion, and overall resilience.

If you’ve been “doing everything right” but still feel off, this is often why.

Focus: Simplify. Stabilize. Support foundational physiology before adding more.
