Training and workouts: what it changed, and what it did not

One intervention, every measured benefit and result that did not improve. See who it moved for, where it stayed neutral or went the other way, and the next hypothesis Phoenix can validate.

How to read this

Observational research: real APOE4 carriers tracked over time, each compared with their own earlier self. Members chose their interventions, with no randomisation or placebo group. Everything else they changed is shown beside each result.

Key findings

Phoenix has measured Training and workouts against 3 exact outcomes for APOE4 carriers. Across 32 members with at least ten workout tags, workout nights averaged about 11 fewer deep-plus-REM minutes. Member #B2E9BC's same-night deep sleep was 30% to 35% lower across two computations. Member #B2E9BC's next-day HRV was 29% to 32% higher across two computations. A separate case was not published as a finding.
