The symptom checklist

Five areas, thirty questions, about four minutes. It will not tell you what you have. What it will do is show you whether your symptoms cluster, which is the thing a seven minute appointment almost never has time to look for.

Free, instant, nothing to fill in. Print it and bring it to any clinician you like, including one who is not us.

Hormones
What this cluster commonly points to

A cluster here often points toward sex hormones, thyroid function, or the stress axis that sits above both. It is also the cluster most often dismissed as normal aging without anyone actually measuring it.

Metabolism and weight
What this cluster commonly points to

Weight that resists effort is usually a signal rather than a discipline problem. Thyroid function, insulin handling, sex hormones and gut health all sit underneath this cluster and are all measurable.

Sleep
What this cluster commonly points to

Sleep is where a lot of hormone and stress problems show themselves first, and it is also the fastest lever to pull. Cortisol patterns, sex hormones, blood sugar overnight and thyroid all show up here.

Energy and cognition
What this cluster commonly points to

This is the cluster that most often comes with a normal chart. A standard screen is a small number of values. Thyroid seen fully, iron stores, vitamin D, B vitamins and hormones frequently explain what the screen missed.

Recovery and performance
What this cluster commonly points to

Recovery is the first thing to go when hormones, sleep, fueling or thyroid are off, and the last thing most people connect to a medical cause. For anyone training seriously, this cluster is worth taking seriously.
