Performance Bottlenecks

Meaning

Performance Bottlenecks are specific, measurable physiological or biochemical limitations within a biological system that prevent an individual from achieving their full potential in physical, cognitive, or metabolic performance. These constraints are often subtle and non-pathological, existing within the “normal” range but acting as the single weakest link in a complex chain of biological processes. Common examples include suboptimal thyroid function, mild iron deficiency, or a specific genetic polymorphism impairing detoxification. Identifying and removing these bottlenecks is the primary objective of high-performance health optimization.
