Overview

In the evolving landscape of health optimization, clinicians and health coaches are looking for strategies that are both evidence-based and practical for real-world implementation. In a recent interview, Dr. Jesse Greer, a former Army physician and founder of Preamble Clinic, shared three high-impact biohacks that can enhance patient outcomes—particularly for high performers and proactive individuals.

At Heads Up Health, our mission is to empower professionals to make data-driven decisions with their clients. Here’s how you can apply Dr. Greer’s strategies within your clinical framework.

1. Create Structured, Time-Bound Goals

Dr. Greer reflects on the effectiveness of the Army’s physical training tests as a form of accountability. Translating this to civilian health management, he suggests encouraging patients to set clear, measurable goals like training for a 5K, committing to 30-day fitness challenges, or scheduling regular assessments.

Clinical Application:

• Embed these goals in patient health dashboards.
• Use biometric data (HRV, resting heart rate, VO2 max) to track progress.
• Reinforce behavior through visualization tools inside Heads Up Health.

2. Simplify Nutrition with Ten Staple Meals

Nutrition compliance often fails due to decision fatigue and complexity. Dr. Greer’s strategy? Get patients to prepare ten simple, nutrient-rich meals each week. These meals act as a nutritional anchor, allowing flexibility during evenings or weekends.

Clinical Application:

• Create patient-specific meal templates based on macro tracking.
• Monitor weight, body fat, and muscle mass using DEXA or InBody integrations.
• Correlate meal adherence with trends in glycemic control or metabolic panels.

3. Customize Training Zones with Metabolic Testing

Most patients plateau in their fitness because they unknowingly train in inefficient zones. Dr. Greer uses metabolic and lactate testing to determine each individual’s ideal zones, especially for fat oxidation and endurance development.

Clinical Application:

• Recommend VO2 or lactate threshold testing to fitness-focused clients.
• Align exercise data with CGM (continuous glucose monitor) or heart rate telemetry.
• Visualize Zone 2 time vs. total activity to optimize aerobic foundation building.

Why This Matters for Health Professionals

As practitioners, your goal is to move patients from reactive care to preventive empowerment. Dr. Greer’s tools are:

• Repeatable across diverse populations
• Scalable for group or individual care
• Integrated easily into data-centric platforms like Heads Up Health

Whether you’re managing executives, athletes, or health-committed individuals, these biohacks offer a personalized, scientifically grounded approach to transformation.
