The Functional Reset

Rebuild the FoundationsPersonalise the Priorities

Most people do not need more health information. They need to know what matters for them, what to do first and how to make it work in their real life. The Reset starts there.

  • Foundations firstSleep, movement, muscle, nutrition, stress
  • Your prioritiesIn the order that fits you
  • Real lifeDaily actions, coaching, the app

Why a reset

You already know what is healthyThe hard part is what comes first

You already know you should

  • Move more
  • Eat more whole foods
  • Eat enough protein
  • Sleep better
  • Manage stress
  • Drink less alcohol

What you need to know is

  • What matters most for me?
  • What should happen first?
  • How much, how often, at what time?
  • What should we measure?
  • What changes if I do not respond?

And how to make it happen around

  • Work
  • Family
  • Travel
  • Restaurants
  • Habits
  • Fatigue
  • Stress
  • Social life
  • Changing schedules

Knowledge is abundant. Personalisation and implementation are the bottlenecks

The foundations

The principles are universalThe priorities are personal

Across very different goals, the same foundations keep mattering. What changes from one person to the next is the entry point, the priority, the dose, the timing and the progression.

01

Movement

Daily steps, walking after meals, less sitting

02

Muscle

Resistance training, one of the foundations of healthy aging

03

Protein

Enough of it, spread across the day

04

Energy intake

Right for your goal, neither too much nor too little

05

Nutrition quality

Whole foods, fibre and meal structure

06

Sleep

Duration, regularity and a real wind-down

07

Recovery

Training load matched to what you can absorb

08

Stress regulation

Breathing, boundaries and routines

09

Circadian rhythm

Morning light, meal timing, caffeine cut-off

10

Cardiovascular capacity

An aerobic base, built progressively

Personalisation is more than changing calories

It is not 2,000 kcal for one person and 2,200 for another. It means adapting

  • Priorities
  • Sequence
  • Intensity
  • Timing
  • Frequency
  • Progression
  • Monitoring
  • Recovery
  • Coaching style
  • Environment

How the Reset works

Understand the personObserve real life. Act. Adapt

  1. Understand

    Not only age, weight and height. Your goals, work schedule, family context, sleep, nutrition, activity, sports history, injuries, stress, medications, symptoms, travel, available time and preferences.

    We start by defining

    • What you want to improve now
    • What you want to stay capable of
    • What success means for you
  2. Observe

    The app shows how you actually live and respond: meals, protein, steps, workouts, sleep, energy, mood, stress, digestion and wearable data. The value is not the single data point. It is the pattern.

    Patterns we look for

    • Poor sleep after late restaurant dinners
    • Low protein until dinner
    • Energy crashes after certain meals
    • Low movement on work-heavy days
    • Stress leading to evening eating
  3. Act

    Patterns become one priority, one action, one adjustment at a time. Every action is simple, understandable, measurable, realistic and repeatable.

    Actions like

    • Morning light
    • Protein at breakfast
    • A 10-minute morning routine
    • Walking after meals
    • Exercise Snacks
    • An earlier caffeine cut-off
    • An evening wind-down
  4. Adapt

    Not a fixed plan handed over once. The best next step today, then we watch how your body responds and change course when it does not.

    What changes the plan

    • Your progress
    • Symptoms, sleep and stress
    • Injuries
    • Work and family life
    • How you respond

The app

A personalisation layer, not just a tracker

It connects your context, your daily behaviour, your physiology and your coaching, so we can see what you actually do, when, how you respond and where the plan breaks down. The objective is not to overwhelm you with data. It is to extract the pattern and turn it into the next action.

  1. Daily data
  2. Patterns
  3. Actions

Human and intelligence

Intelligence finds the patternsPeople help you change

A perfect recommendation that is never implemented has no value. So implementation is part of the product: short routines, Exercise Snacks, daily actions, reminders, group accountability, coaching, a weekly review and practical education.

The intelligence layer helps

  • Organise your data
  • Detect patterns
  • Compare trends
  • Summarise information
  • Surface potential priorities

The human layer brings

  • Judgment and context
  • Trust and motivation
  • Behaviour change
  • Prioritisation
  • Accountability
  • Escalation when needed

Reset tracks

Different entry pointsOne system

The tracks are not separate programmes. They share the same foundations, and the systems are connected: a metabolic client may need sleep work, a perimenopause client may need strength training. The track is the entry point. You determine the final programme.

Men, roughly 45 to 65

Men’s Strength, Energy & Recomposition

Stronger after 50

Typical goals

  • Regain muscle and strength
  • More energy and focus
  • Better sleep
  • Less abdominal fat
  • Understand testosterone and hormonal health

Strength · Protein · Recomposition · Metabolic health · Sleep · Cardiovascular capacity

Training is not binary: strength work stays essential while losing fat, and HIIT is not automatically the best place to start.

Women, roughly 40 to 60

Perimenopause & Hormonal Health

Build strength for the next phase

Typical goals

  • More energy and better sleep
  • Manage body composition changes
  • Maintain muscle
  • Manage symptoms
  • Protect long-term bone and cardiovascular health

Sleep & recovery · Strength · Protein · Stress · Metabolic health

Two women of the same age can be in completely different hormonal situations. Hormonal assessment can be part of this track, with medical collaboration when symptoms warrant it.

Anyone wanting better metabolic health

Metabolic Reset

Improve how your body manages energy, glucose and fat

Typical goals

  • Improve insulin sensitivity
  • Better glucose regulation
  • Better body composition
  • More stable energy
  • Cardiovascular health

Protein-first meals · Fibre · Carbohydrate timing · Strength · Walking after meals · Sleep

We may measure waist, fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipids, blood pressure or use a CGM. The goal is not to avoid every glucose rise. It is better awareness and better decisions.

Bloating, irregular stools, reflux, discomfort after meals

Digestive & Microbiome Reset

“Digestive symptoms” is not one problem

Typical goals

  • Less bloating and discomfort
  • More regular digestion
  • Identify food and stress triggers
  • Understand your pattern

Meal structure · Fibre type and amount · Hydration · Movement · Stress · Triggers

Here deeper testing is more central: GI-MAP or other stool testing when it can clarify the situation, with medical escalation if red flags are present.

Prepare for the sport. Build for life

Golf, skiing, hiking or running can be the entry point too. We prepare you for the season while improving body composition, metabolic health, sleep, energy and long-term capacity.

When we go deeper

Testing is usefulwhen it changes the decision

For many people, the foundations already produce significant change. When symptoms are persistent, complex or clinically relevant, we go deeper, and some tracks start there.

Deeper assessment can include

  • Blood biomarkers
  • Hormonal markers
  • CGM
  • DUTCH Complete
  • GI-MAP
  • Body composition
  • Functional assessments
  • Specialist medical review

And the experts we work alongside

  • Physicians
  • Endocrinologists
  • Gynaecologists
  • Gastroenterologists
  • Physiotherapists
  • Psychologists
  • Nutrition specialists

The specialist brings the clinical expertise. FunctionAlps turns their recommendations into daily action and keeps the continuity between consultations.

FunctionAlps does not diagnose, treat or cure disease, and does not replace medical care. For clinical conditions, we act as a support and implementation layer alongside qualified medical professionals.

The long game

Longevity mattersHealthspan matters more

Healthy aging means remaining capable. We do not wait for capacity to disappear: we work earlier, to preserve

  • Muscle
  • Strength
  • Power
  • Metabolic health
  • Cardiovascular fitness
  • Mobility
  • Cognition
  • Independence
  • Energy
  • Resilience

Strength today protects independence tomorrow
