The Numbers Don't Lie
6-month transformation told through biomarkers
Six months ago I weighed 220 lbs. My inflammation marker (hs-CRP) was 3.5 - that's "elevated cardiac risk" territory.
My doctor said my labs were "fine."
They weren't fine. I just wasn't looking at the right numbers. Here's what happened when I started. 🧵
I ran comprehensive bloodwork - not the standard 20 markers your annual physical checks. I tested 100+.
Then I sequenced my genome and analyzed 178 genetic variants to understand what my body actually needs vs. what I was guessing at.
Six months later:
- Weight: 220 → 170 (-50 lbs)
- hs-CRP: 3.5 → 1.0 (-71%)
- Testosterone: 616 → 722 (+17%)
- HbA1c: 5.3 → 5.0 (now optimal)
- Vitamin D: 46 → 82 (+78%)
The weight loss was discipline. The rest was understanding my biology.
The biggest unlock was genetics.
My genome has 9 variants that impair a single critical pathway (methylation - it controls detox, energy, DNA repair, mood).
My doctor had never tested for any of them. I was supplementing with the wrong form of every B vitamin for years.
I also found a cluster of 6 inflammation genes that explained why my CRP was elevated despite eating clean and exercising.
Knowing the cause → targeting the cause → 71% reduction.
That's the difference between guessing and knowing.
I'm going to start sharing all of this publicly.
My genetic data. My bloodwork over time. The protocols I run and why. The AI tools I built to analyze all of it.
No gatekeeping. Just data.
Not a doctor. Just a tech founder who got obsessed with his own biology.
Everything lives on my site — my genetic data, bloodwork over time, all the protocols. I also write a newsletter called The Manual where I go deep on the science. Links below.
This is what I put in The Manual every week.
