CRP is not “the inflammation marker.”
It’s a data point.

CRP (C-reactive protein) is produced by the liver in response to inflammatory signaling. It’s useful for trend tracking over time, especially when something acute is happening.

But here’s the problem:
“Inflammation” is an umbrella term. CRP doesn’t tell us where, why, or what system is involved.

You can have:
• Gut inflammation
• Hormonal inflammation
• Neuroinflammation
• Metabolic dysfunction

…with a perfectly “normal” CRP.

And you can also have an elevated CRP from a recent workout, infection, poor sleep, stress, or even a minor injury.

This is why lab interpretation is not about chasing red or green numbers.
It’s about context.

Real medicine looks at patterns, symptoms, history, and multiple systems together — not a single serum marker in isolation.

Data without clinical reasoning is noise.

Most men don’t need to pick one therapy — they need a strategy.
TRT replaces what’s missing.

Peptides repair what’s underperforming.

Lifestyle builds what you already have.

At Neos, we combine all three — testing, optimization, and precision therapy — to get you back to peak function without guessing.

Comment or DM “TRT” to start your assessment.

After age 30, men lose roughly 3–5% of muscle mass per decade.�
And it happens faster with chronic stress, poor sleep, or low testosterone.

The problem is muscle isn’t just tissue.�It’s a metabolic organ.

Muscle burns calories, stores glucose, releases anti-inflammatory myokines, and keeps testosterone signaling active.

When muscle declines, metabolism slows, recovery suffers, and fat storage increases — especially visceral fat.

That’s the cycle behind�“I’m training. I’m eating clean. Nothing’s changing.”

The solution isn’t more cardio or eating less.
�It’s resistance training, adequate protein, hormone balance, and proper recovery. That’s how you slow aging and restore performance.

Peptides aren’t just for bodybuilders.

They’re the future of regenerative and functional medicine.

Compounds like BPC-157, MOTS-C, and CJC/Ipamorelin help your body do what it’s supposed to do — repair, recover, and optimize.

No quick fixes. Just cellular precision.

Everyone talks about discipline — consistency, grit, pushing through.

But discipline only works when the body can respond to it.
Energy, focus, drive, and resilience are outputs of hormones, metabolism, and inflammation — not character flaws.

When testosterone drops, cortisol stays elevated, insulin resistance builds, or inflammation rises, your performance declines no matter how hard you push.

That’s not weakness.
That’s data.

And high performers know when to stop forcing output and start fixing the system.

My men’s optimization consult is designed to identify where your physiology is limiting performance and correct it so your body can finally keep up with your ambition.

Testosterone production is influenced by daily habits more than most people realize.

Your body needs the right inputs to produce testosterone effectively:
• Adequate protein and healthy fats
• Deep, consistent sleep
• Strength training without chronic overtraining
• Morning light and a stable circadian rhythm
• Low cortisol and proper stress recovery
• Key micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, and B vitamins

When any of these are off, hormone output adapts downward.

Optimization isn’t about guessing or chasing trends.
It’s about identifying what’s holding production back and fixing it at the root.

At Neos Functional Medicine, we look beyond the number on the lab and rebuild the system that supports it.

“You’re just getting older that’s why you’re stiff and achy.” We hear this all the time. But what if your body is aging faster than your calendar says?

Stiffness and joint pain aren’t always about the number of candles on your birthday cake. Often it’s tied to:

👉 Chronic inflammation: from processed foods, stress, or hidden gut issues that keeps tissues irritated and slow to repair.
👉 Leaky gut (intestinal permeability): which allows tiny food particles and bacterial fragments to slip into your bloodstream, stoking more inflammation that lands in joints.
👉 Micronutrient depletion: low levels of magnesium, vitamin C, zinc, or collagen-building amino acids can mean your cartilage and connective tissue aren’t getting the building blocks they need to stay strong and cushioned.

The best part? These are things you can actually work on. From personalized nutrition and targeted supplements to gut repair and lifestyle shifts that cool inflammation. You don’t have to settle for “just getting older.” Let’s help you feel younger in your joints so you can keep moving with ease.

If the fat in your lower belly will not budge no matter how clean you eat or how hard you train, this isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a hormone problem.

In women, stubborn lower-belly fat is often driven by estrogen imbalance, cortisol signaling, insulin resistance, thyroid output, and low progesterone. When those signals are off, your body is literally told to store fat in that area as protection. You can meal prep perfectly, work out six days a week, and still feel like nothing changes because the physiology is working against you.
This is why throwing money at random workout plans, challenges, and supplements keeps leading to frustration. The input looks right, but the internal signals are wrong.

Quit being hard on yourself. And quit trying to outwork a hormone imbalance.

Listen to the end because I’m sharing exactly what you should focus on in the meantime to stop reinforcing the problem.
