Lifestyle

Behavioral Rhythm

Lifestyle measures repeated rhythms that reinforce or disrupt circadian alignment, metabolic stability, and structural recovery.

Domain 1 of 5

Sleep Rhythm

Sleep duration, consistency, and timing patterns that regulate hormonal signaling.

Mechanism

Hormonal regulation and glymphatic clearance

Sleep Rhythm captures a primary mechanism within Lifestyle and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 2 of 5

Circadian Behavior

Behavioral interaction with light timing, schedule regularity, and phase alignment.

Mechanism

Clock entrainment and endocrine phase signaling

Circadian Behavior captures a primary mechanism within Lifestyle and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 3 of 5

Movement Baseline

Everyday non-exercise movement that supports metabolic and vascular stability.

Mechanism

Glucose regulation and vascular stimulation

Movement Baseline captures a primary mechanism within Lifestyle and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 4 of 5

Structural Strength & Load

Intentional musculoskeletal loading for muscle retention, bone integrity, and resilience.

Mechanism

Musculoskeletal demand and anabolic signaling

Structural Strength & Load captures a primary mechanism within Lifestyle and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery

Domain 5 of 5

Recovery Cycles

Rest and downregulation patterns that resolve stress and normalize autonomic tone.

Mechanism

Parasympathetic tone and inflammation resolution

Recovery Cycles captures a primary mechanism within Lifestyle and is evaluated independently for clarity.

Common Misalignments

  • Pattern inconsistency over 60-90 days
  • Chronic compensatory behavior
  • High exposure with low recovery
