Raised DHEA-S. Waking at 3am, alert. Worse for two days after every hard session. Wired at night, flat in the morning.

Cortisol response to exercise scales with intensity — a measured 39.9% rise at 60% of VO2max, 83.1% at 80%, and no significant rise at 40%. This is twenty-eight days built at the bottom of that curve.

What is inside

11 pages · PDF

  • A five-marker readiness score that decides each session, not the calendar
  • Four weeks with intensity capped by design
  • The evidence, and the study that points the other way, printed in a box
  • What improves, in what order — and what a training plan cannot do

Who this is not for

Most guides skip this. It is the most useful section on the page, because a guide that is wrong for you does not fail gently — it costs you a month and convinces you the problem is your willpower.

  • Anyone who recovers well from hard sessions — buy the 4-Week Workout Plan instead, it will get you further and costs less
  • Anyone using this instead of getting investigated for thyroid, ferritin or sleep apnoea

This is education, not medical care

Nothing in this guide is a diagnosis, a prescription, or a treatment plan. Talk to a qualified clinician before acting on it — especially if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, breastfeeding, under 18, taking prescription medication, or living with an eating disorder.

Questions

How do I know this is the right one?
Page 3 lists five markers. If fewer than three describe you, buy the standard 4-Week Workout Plan instead.
Is this for adrenal fatigue?
"Adrenal fatigue" is not a recognised medical diagnosis and the book does not use the term. It uses HPA-axis language and cites what is actually measured.
