The Baseline Score

Your morning blood panel says "normal." Your afternoon energy, sleep, and waist say otherwise.

Four minutes. Nothing to look up.

What brought you here today?

Pick the option that is closest to where you stand right now.

What happens to your energy and focus between 2 PM and 5 PM?

A standard morning panel is drawn at your best hour. It is not measuring the part of the day you are asking about.

Your age and your weight today.

Roughly is fine on the weight. These two numbers set your daily protein target for holding and rebuilding lean muscle after 35.

Already, from that alone

0g

of protein a day, roughly 0g at each of three meals.

That is your exact target at 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight (Morton et al., 2018), not a generic range. After 35, anabolic resistance rises and most men under-eat protein at breakfast and lunch, forcing their body to break down lean tissue when work stress is high.

How are you sleeping and recovering right now?

Seven hours in bed is not the same as seven hours of recovery, which is why we ask how you wake rather than how long you were down.

Over the last 12 months, what has happened to your stress load and midsection?

Sustained stress and midsection changes often travel together, which is why we score them as one input rather than two.

Two quick ones about this week.

Rough is fine. Nobody is checking, and a guess tells us more than a blank.

When you think about the next 90 days, what matters most to you?

Pick the one that actually sits with you.

Where should your score and plan go?

Your Cellular Depletion Score, your daily protein target, and your four-week baseline plan. Free, no card.

We use your numbers to calculate your baseline and compare against your 30-day re-test. Nothing else.

What you get at the end

  • 1
    Your Cellular Depletion & Recovery Risk Score (0 to 100). Scored across the four biological bottlenecks that govern male performance after 35: mitochondrial ATP output, daytime cortisol load, deep slow-wave sleep, and anabolic protein signaling.
  • 2
    Your exact daily protein target. Worked out from your own body weight at the clinically supported 1.6 g/kg threshold for preserving and building lean mass (Morton et al., 2018), broken down per meal.
  • 3
    Your Day-1 Morning Protocol. The single highest-leverage breakfast and timing adjustment to flatten the 2 PM crash and switch on muscle protein synthesis before noon.
  • 4
    A 30-day re-test. One score now is a snapshot. Two is a trend line, and a trend line is the only way to prove whether what you are doing is actually working.
