Which Data Do We Analyze?
A detailed look at how our Pathway Protocol evaluates prolonged stress exposure through subjective and objective health data.
Understanding your stress isn’t guesswork — it’s data science. Our Pathway Protocol evaluates prolonged stress exposure through both subjective and objective health data across metabolic, sleep, inflammatory, and emotional domains.
Here’s exactly what we look at in each program.
Foundations Program
The initial program aims to identify chronic stress drivers and their physiological impact. The primary instrument is our Stress Assessment Tracking Survey (SATS), which evaluates:
- Perceived Stress: Anxiety levels, worry patterns, coping mechanisms
- Metabolic Health: Energy fluctuations, dietary habits, weight changes
- Sleep Quality: Sleep onset difficulties, nighttime awakenings, morning restfulness
- Chronic Inflammation: Joint/muscle pain, digestive issues, skin problems
Additional factors include caffeine and alcohol consumption, exercise frequency, BMI, and health objectives.
Empower Program
This program narrows focus to specific domains using expanded measurements.
Subjective Measures
- 1-week dietary and exercise recall
- Perceived Stress Scale (standardized instrument)
- Social Readjustment Rating Scale
- GAD-2 and PHQ-2 screening (anxiety and depression)
- Comprehensive sleep questionnaire
- Multi-system symptom tracking
Objective Markers (When Available)
- Insulin metrics and glucose regulation
- Body composition analysis
- Blood pressure trends
- Heart rate variability (HRV)
- Cortisol panels (diurnal pattern)
- Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
- Hormonal assessments
The combination of subjective experience and objective biomarkers gives us a complete picture that neither alone can provide.
Resilience Program
The most comprehensive tier emphasizes recovery and lifestyle resilience. It features:
- Twice-weekly coaching sessions for intensive support
- Health timeline development — mapping your health history to identify patterns
- Health matrix analysis — connecting symptoms across systems to find root causes
- Continuous monitoring — tracking progress across all measured domains
The timeline and matrix approach often reveals connections that years of specialist visits have missed, because we’re looking at the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.
Why This Matters
Most healthcare assessments look at single systems in isolation. A cardiologist checks your heart. A gastroenterologist checks your gut. A psychologist checks your mind. Nobody connects the dots.
Our approach is different: we treat these systems as interconnected (because they are) and look for the upstream drivers — usually chronic stress and inflammation — that affect everything downstream.
