Fit logic is a simple rule: measure your body before you choose a training, nutrition or hormone plan, then measure again to see if it worked. Forget the brand names. The idea underneath is simple: if you aren't testing, you're guessing.
What is fit logic?
Fit logic means you test first and build the plan from the results. Without it, you are taking a guess. You will own five, six, maybe ten cars in your lifetime. You will own exactly one body. And yet most adults have never measured that body properly.
Here is the real problem. Most fitness and wellness programs hand everyone the same plan. The logic runs backwards. They start with the treatment and never take a baseline, so nobody can show you whether the plan worked.
What is BodyLogicMD, and is it the same thing?
No. BodyLogicMD describes itself as a U.S. physician network founded in 2003 that provides bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. That is one tool. It’s a good one for some people. But a tool is not a plan.
Picture a guy who starts hormones without a strength baseline, a body scan or an HRV number. Six months later he says he feels better. Better than what? Nobody wrote down where he started. Before you compare costs, read why pellets and patches price apart.
Which tests show where your body really stands?
Try this. Could you sit down on the floor right now and get back up without using your hands? Most people have no idea until they try. Start with the measures that big studies tie to how long people live, then add the ones that show how you recover.
- Cardio fitness: in a large JAMA Network Open study of treadmill testing, higher fitness was linked to lower long-term mortality.
- Grip strength: the PURE study in The Lancet found it predicts mortality.
- Sit-to-rise: in a study of 2002 adults aged 51 to 80, how well people got down to the floor and back up predicted all-cause mortality.
At Functionised, our FIT Age Reveal takes about 40 minutes. It covers a 3D body-composition scan, an ARX strength baseline, grip strength, sit-to-rise, a VO2 estimate and an HRV snapshot. You finish with a FIT Age number and a 20-minute plan session. FIT Age is an educational estimate, not a medical test.
Why does one plan not fit everyone?
Your genetics works like software, and nobody else runs your version. I have seen it in my own work. When Dr. Mike and I did the 600-burger project, he did best on vegetation with some fish. I thrive on grass-fed beef with organs.
Same project, same team, opposite needs. That is precision nutrition. You learn which plan suits you from your own results, not from a stranger who sells you a diet.
What does retesting show that one test cannot?
One test is a snapshot. A retest is the movie. It shows which direction your body is heading. In the 600-burger project, we tested Dr. Mike’s labs, brain scans, HRV, fitness and body scans before, during and after.
His HRV was cut in half within a week. My wife Chantea measured it, and by Day 19 it was a little over halfway back to baseline. Sit with that for a moment. Without the test, nobody would have seen the damage. For more on retest timing, read why one retest proves nothing.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I retest?
Match the retest to how fast the measure moves. Strength and HRV often shift faster than body composition. And test the same way every time, under the same conditions. Change the setup and you’re not comparing anything. Keep it consistent and you’ll know whether your training is working.
The Bottom Line
Fit logic is not a brand. It is a discipline. Measure, act, measure again. Boring is good, and boring compounds over time.
