For qualified professionals
The research behind every Body Recode report.
Body Recode reads what someone reports about their sleep, stress, training, eating and hormonal change, and tells their coach what their body can handle right now. Coaches write the plan. This site holds the method and the research it rests on, so you can check it.
We’re asking you to read it, compare it with the literature you know, and tell us where it doesn’t hold.
What we’re asking
Tell us where it doesn’t hold.
Read the overview
A plain-English account of the method: how a report is worked out, and what it does and doesn’t claim.
Check the claims
Every claim says how strong its evidence is. Where the research is divided, both sides are given. Where a claim is ours, it says so.
Send your feedback
Comment on any section as you go. Disagreement is the most useful thing you can give us.
Behind your access code
Three documents, each for a different job.
The overview
The method as it stands today, version 1.0, September 2026. This is the document under review. It cites 89 published sources, and every substantive claim was checked against the literature one by one.
The source documents
The 366 working documents the reading part of the method was built from, so you can see where each rule came from.
The full archive
All 443 documents as they were written in April 2026, kept unedited so the history can be examined. Where the archive and the overview disagree, the overview is the current version.
What it is
A structured way to apply research that already exists.
None of the science is new. The method draws on well-studied links between long-term stress, sleep, recovery, hormones and how the body stores energy, and turns them into the same careful steps for every person.
What it is not
- It does not diagnose or treat anything.
- It does not write programs or meal plans. The coach does.
- It has not been proven to change outcomes yet. A pilot with coaches is how that is tested.
- The research supports the parts. Nothing yet validates the method as a whole, which is what we’re asking you to examine.
