Trained as a scientist and former decathlete, he runs a diagnostics-first process: measure first (labs, sleep architecture, HRV, cognitive speed, recovery), act second (light and rhythm, training, sleep, nutrition, travel), then track the deltas in plain numbers. He blends East + West methodologies - nature’s tools before prescriptions - and aligns each client’s MD, trainer, and nutrition so the plan runs as one roadmap. His practice is referral-led and confidentiality is standard. Current work includes select 1:1 advisories and a small, invite-only cohort for leaders who want a clear, sustainable system for health and performance. As a fruit of his labor, CORE Performance Labs is on the way - an evidence-led program built from his vast experience.
