Whether it's the beginning, the middle, or just a few races left this season, are you feeling like you are running on fumes? Today we're talking about how to catch burnout before it crashes your performance by reading your own dashboard, your metabolic blueprint. Stay tuned. Hello, I'm Jeffrey Morton. If you're like most in NASCAR's top tiers, drivers, crews, owners, or executives, while you're busy chasing podiums, have you fully considered who's taking care of you? Right here, you're about to start transforming your mind and body for peak race day performance with high performance health, designed exclusively for the demands of NASCAR. As a certified high performance health coach and consulting hypnotist, I've coached elite entrepreneurs and athletes to higher energy, sharper focus, and greater resilience, naturally, safely, and backed by science. And right now, I'm bringing that same engineered approach to the best in motorsports. Here you'll find no wasted time, just a unique blend of integrative health, mental conditioning, and proven recovery strategies delivered in plain language that you can use right away. Imagine a season without burnout, brain fog, or the costly crash of your health. Because the truth is, the real race starts within. I'm grateful you're here. Yes, always grateful for you joining us. Welcome back to Breaking Boundaries for Champions, the podcast for drivers, crews, and owners who know performance starts long before race day. If you haven't already, hit that subscribe button so you never miss a strategy to keep your body and mind race ready. Now, let's be honest, the final stretch of the season can hit hard. That travel, the pressure, the adrenaline swings, the long hours and poor sleep, it all adds up. And you may or may not even notice it at first, but that constant stress starts to wear you down. Burnout doesn't happen overnight, it creeps in slowly. The afternoon fog, the shorter temper, the slower recovery. It's like running a race with a slow leak in your tire. You can still drive, but you're losing traction every lap. And that's why high performance health isn't about waiting until something breaks, it's about spotting the warning signs before you hit the wall. Now you might be wondering, Jeff, how do you see burnout before it happens? Well, I'm glad you asked. This is where your metabolic blueprint comes into play. Think of it like your car's dashboard, but for your body, it shows you what's running hot, what's low, and it also shows what needs attention. And how do we do this? We use a simple functional test called a hair tissue mineral analysis. It's known as the minerals and metals test, or also the HTMA. We can literally see how your body is handling stress and how your body is responding to it. It tells us whether your body has the raw materials it needs for things like hormone production. This is the chemistry behind your energy and behind your recovery. It also tells us your level of metabolism, how efficiently your body converts food into fuel. And most importantly, it also tells us your immune function, how well your system can defend itself, yes, even from cancer risk factors. And saying that now, we don't diagnose, we don't treat, we don't cure, we don't provide any medical advice, but this is your inside view of performance and prevention all in one snapshot. And in the famous words of Billy Mays, but that's not all. The HTMA test also reveals your levels of toxic, heavy metals. Talking about metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum, and even though these are natural elements of the earth, they have no business being in the body. These metals can come from fuel fumes, come from tire and track compounds, come from brake dust and contaminated food and water, and even the garage or your shop environment. And when they build up in your system, they can cause things like brain fog and memory issues. I know so many people that are having that. You know, it starts as brain fog, then it becomes memory issues, then it becomes a concern. We can see these things before that starts to happen. Also, hormonal and thyroid disruption, very important, cardiovascular strain, blood pressure spikes. I mean, about one in three people are on blood pressure medication. It's absolutely crazy. Uh, it also shows us nerve and muscle fatigue, uh, underlying root causes of uh nerve and muscle fatigue, low mood and anxiety, and underlying root causes of weakened immunity. These aren't random symptoms, they are performance drains, and they're 100% measurable 100% of the time. And the beauty of this test, though, is in its simplicity. You don't need a visit uh to a lab or go to a clinic or have a phlebotomist take a blood draw. It only takes a small snip of hair, and it can be done at home or even at the track. That sample gives us a 90 days uh view of metabolic data. This is a rolling snapshot of how your body's been performing under real-world conditions. And here's the kicker: this isn't anything new. The HTMA has been a foundational tool in functional medicine since the 1970s. It's trusted because it works and because it tells the truth about what's really happening inside your body long before standard blood work ever would. For those who are looking for the data on more of short-term toxicities, we also have an advanced environmental toxicity functional lab test that uses a simple urine sample, and that's also done right or at the track. Once we see your metabolic blueprint, we can fine-tune your performance plan based on your unique biology, the same way a race engineer tunes a car from the unique data, not from a cookie-cutter template. We can show you how to balance your minerals, remove toxicity safely, and rebuild your biological system so that you can perform stronger, recover faster, and sustain your edge all season long. This isn't guesswork, it's precision health engineered for top performers like you who want to run a pace and not be slowed down. Imagine crossing that finish line with the same energy and focus you had at the start of the season. No burnout, no fog, no crash. That's what happens when you take control of your physiology, when you use real data to drive your performance instead of waiting for your body to fail you. Now, if you're the kind of person who's ready to uncover your own metabolic blueprint and see exactly what's slowing your system down, head over to victory lanewellness.com or hit the link in the bio. And that's where you'll find our free functional health assessments and the option to book your complimentary high performance health consultation with an HPH certified coach. We will walk you through your blueprint, show you what's holding you back, and map out exactly how to fix it naturally, safely, and sustainably. And remember, you can subscribe and listen to Breaking Boundaries for Champions across all platforms. Your edge isn't found in your car, it's found in your biology. Protect it, fuel it, and watch what happens when you race from your highest potential. Bye bye, everybody.
