BRAIN

Why Your Body Runs on ATP

Every movement you make — from blinking to sprinting — is powered by a single molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Your body makes it from the food you eat, primarily in your mitochondria. The better you feed your mitochondria (real food, not processed junk), the more ATP you produce, and the better you perform. This is why diet and training are inseparable.

The Framework

Built on Real Science.
Designed for You.

ATP is built on two evidence-based frameworks: the MetFix Foundations Course (metabolic health, insulin resistance, mitochondrial function) and functional fitness methodology (movement mechanics, nutrition, teen-specific programming, scaling).

The Daily Fix format is adapted from brokenscience.org/fix/ — the BELLY/BODY/BRAIN daily structure that makes health simple and consistent.

No supplements. Bodyweight and at-home workouts. No perfect diet. Just the right information, applied consistently, over time.

MetFix Foundations

Metabolic health, insulin, mitochondria, behavior change

Functional Fitness

Functional movement, nutrition, 10 physical skills

Teen Programming

Teen-specific programming, mechanics-first, scaling
