Diet, Exercise, Recovery and Stress Management Programs for Optimal Vitality Based Off Individual Lab Results
Through Hardie Peak Performance, my aim is to craft personalized plans that assist clients across the country in achieving their health and performance objectives. I run a set of foundational functional labs to understand a person's unique current reality in the realm of stress and sex hormones, gut functionality, and energy production. From those results, we work together to create a customized plan that addresses diet, exercise, recovery, stress management, and potentially supplements. Clients can work 1:1 or find someone to work with together for additional support and accountability with for the Partner Program and start anytime. A third option - wait until a group program starts at the beginning of each quarter and meet some new people with similar health and performance values.
I offer support throughout the 100 Day program that includes recordings of all lab results clients will review before our weekly virtual sessions the first month and bi-weekly session the second and third months. Each session reviews progress and next steps for diet, exercise, recovery, stress management, and supplements. I educate on the physiology of lab results and connections with other lab results and symptoms, optimal nutrition specific to each person's metabolic type, tailored meal planning through an interactive app, appropriate training loads based upon hormone levels, recovery to improve energy, mood, and performance, and stress management routines to help clients handle the day and sleep at night.
Functional diagnostic nutrition revolves around identifying healing opportunities within the body. The core of my philosophy is educating and empowering clients to take control of their health. While the process begins with a coaching relationship, the ultimate goal is to serve as a valuable resource and enable clients to take charge of their own care throughout their health journeys.

Whether you're revisiting labs or exploring functional labs for the first time, this group option is ideal if you feel you're doing the “right” things but want personalized insights for your unique needs. Start prioritizing YOU in the new year!
Labs Included in the Program:
Each participant will complete three essential labs:
-
GI-Stool Map: Understand digestion, nutrient absorption, and microbiome health, impacting immune function, gut comfort, and mood.
-
DUTCH Plus (Urine and Saliva Test): Assess stress and sex hormone production, nutrient deficiencies, and gain insight into ways to improve energy and sleep.
-
Comprehensive Wellness Panel (Blood Draw): Includes key markers to detect and address patterns before they become concerns, with “optimal” ranges for proactive insights.
Important Details
Sign up early! Labs take about a week to ship and 2-3 weeks to process results. For menstruating women, DUTCH Plus should be done around Days 19-22 of the cycle—plan accordingly to have results ready by January!
Program Highlights:
-
Personalized Recorded Sessions: Each participant receives individualized results and recommendations for each lab.
-
Weekly & Bi-Weekly Group Sessions: 40-minute group sessions meet weekly for the first month and bi-weekly for months 2 and 3 (9 sessions total). All sessions are recorded.
-
Topics Covered: Weekly discussions on diet, exercise, recovery, stress management, and supplements, with opportunities to explore these topics further as desired by the group.
Additional Options
Our 1:1 program and Partner Program are also available for those looking for individualized or semi-private support.

Foundational Functional Labs
To get a comprehensive picture of a person’s current health status, we start with an extensive health history and symptom questionnaire, combined with the following foundational labs to assess hormones, immune system, digestion, detoxification, energy production, and nervous system function:
DUTCH Plus:
The Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones (DUTCH Plus) is a comprehensive dried urine and saliva test that maximizes the available information from sex and adrenal hormone production and metabolism. With easy, at-home sample collection over the course of one day, providers can gain insights into the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol and cortisone, along with the total distribution of cortisol metabolites. This test also includes organic acid testing, which evaluates potential nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin levels, and neuroinflammation. The DUTCH Plus provides a detailed view of adrenal function by showing cortisol's natural rise and fall within the first hour of waking.

GI-MAP:
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is a comprehensive stool test that uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, H. pylori, fungi, and intestinal health markers by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

FUNCTIONAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS
Blood chemistry reports from your Primary Care Provider offer valuable insights on dysfunction. Interpreting them through a functional lens can reveal information about your health status and suboptimal markers before it gets to the point of dysfunction. From this point, we can implement diet and lifestyle modifications to course correct. Understanding functional ranges, based on disease-free populations, can help identify potential health issues before they arise.
If you’re not ready for the full functional panel and program or you want to dip your toes into the wellness space, you can start with a functional blood chemistry analysis to get tailored recommendations based on your most recent bloodwork from your Primary Care Provider.
