What constitutes my research, and why is it considered research?
My Research Philosophy
Research isn’t confined to labs. It lives on the field, in camps, and in real-life outcomes. In my work, research means solving real problems and testing methods in high-performance environments where every variable – nutrition, training, recovery, sleep is optimized and observed.
How It’s Different
Unlike traditional lab studies, my research happens in live settings. When the results are measurable, the method becomes research.
Types of Research I Conduct
- Real-World Experiments – Tested in camps and teams with full variable control – real results under real pressure.
- 1-on-1 Case Studies – Clinic-based interventions backed by data and observation – where transformation meets science.
- Scientific Challenges – Articles that question mainstream beliefs and propose field-backed alternatives.
Even if the evidence is still evolving, results cannot be ignored. What research is proving today is something I had already written about many years ago.

Final Word
Every method I use is grounded in science whether already proven in labs or tested in the real world. Even when traditional research hasn’t caught up, results speak for themselves. This is evidence in motion where performance validates the science, not the other way around.
