SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Whether it's the beginning, the middle, or just a
few races left this season, areyou feeling like you are running
on fumes?
Today we're talking about how tocatch burnout before it crashes
your performance by reading yourown dashboard, your metabolic
blueprint.
Stay tuned.

(00:25):
Hello, I'm Jeffrey Morton.
If you're like most in NASCAR'stop tiers, drivers, crews,
owners, or executives, whileyou're busy chasing podiums,
have you fully considered who'staking care of you?
Right here, you're about tostart transforming your mind and
body for peak race dayperformance with high

(00:46):
performance health, designedexclusively for the demands of
NASCAR.
As a certified high performancehealth coach and consulting
hypnotist, I've coached eliteentrepreneurs and athletes to
higher energy, sharper focus,and greater resilience,
naturally, safely, and backed byscience.
And right now, I'm bringing thatsame engineered approach to the

(01:10):
best in motorsports.
Here you'll find no wasted time,just a unique blend of
integrative health, mentalconditioning, and proven
recovery strategies delivered inplain language that you can use
right away.
Imagine a season withoutburnout, brain fog, or the
costly crash of your health.
Because the truth is, the realrace starts within.

(01:33):
I'm grateful you're here.
Yes, always grateful for youjoining us.
Welcome back to BreakingBoundaries for Champions, the
podcast for drivers, crews, andowners who know performance
starts long before race day.
If you haven't already, hit thatsubscribe button so you never
miss a strategy to keep yourbody and mind race ready.

(01:55):
Now, let's be honest, the finalstretch of the season can hit
hard.
That travel, the pressure, theadrenaline swings, the long
hours and poor sleep, it alladds up.
And you may or may not evennotice it at first, but that
constant stress starts to wearyou down.
Burnout doesn't happenovernight, it creeps in slowly.

(02:18):
The afternoon fog, the shortertemper, the slower recovery.
It's like running a race with aslow leak in your tire.
You can still drive, but you'relosing traction every lap.
And that's why high performancehealth isn't about waiting until
something breaks, it's aboutspotting the warning signs
before you hit the wall.

(02:40):
Now you might be wondering,Jeff, how do you see burnout
before it happens?
Well, I'm glad you asked.
This is where your metabolicblueprint comes into play.
Think of it like your car'sdashboard, but for your body, it
shows you what's running hot,what's low, and it also shows
what needs attention.

(03:00):
And how do we do this?
We use a simple functional testcalled a hair tissue mineral
analysis.
It's known as the minerals andmetals test, or also the HTMA.
We can literally see how yourbody is handling stress and how
your body is responding to it.
It tells us whether your bodyhas the raw materials it needs

(03:22):
for things like hormoneproduction.
This is the chemistry behindyour energy and behind your
recovery.
It also tells us your level ofmetabolism, how efficiently your
body converts food into fuel.
And most importantly, it alsotells us your immune function,
how well your system can defenditself, yes, even from cancer

(03:45):
risk factors.
And saying that now, we don'tdiagnose, we don't treat, we
don't cure, we don't provide anymedical advice, but this is your
inside view of performance andprevention all in one snapshot.
And in the famous words of BillyMays, but that's not all.

(04:06):
The HTMA test also reveals yourlevels of toxic, heavy metals.
Talking about metals like lead,mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and
aluminum, and even though theseare natural elements of the
earth, they have no businessbeing in the body.
These metals can come from fuelfumes, come from tire and track

(04:26):
compounds, come from brake dustand contaminated food and water,
and even the garage or your shopenvironment.
And when they build up in yoursystem, they can cause things
like brain fog and memoryissues.
I know so many people that arehaving that.
You know, it starts as brainfog, then it becomes memory
issues, then it becomes aconcern.

(04:47):
We can see these things beforethat starts to happen.
Also, hormonal and thyroiddisruption, very important,
cardiovascular strain, bloodpressure spikes.
I mean, about one in threepeople are on blood pressure
medication.
It's absolutely crazy.
Uh, it also shows us nerve andmuscle fatigue, uh, underlying

(05:07):
root causes of uh nerve andmuscle fatigue, low mood and
anxiety, and underlying rootcauses of weakened immunity.
These aren't random symptoms,they are performance drains, and
they're 100% measurable 100% ofthe time.
And the beauty of this test,though, is in its simplicity.

(05:27):
You don't need a visit uh to alab or go to a clinic or have a
phlebotomist take a blood draw.
It only takes a small snip ofhair, and it can be done at home
or even at the track.
That sample gives us a 90 daysuh view of metabolic data.
This is a rolling snapshot ofhow your body's been performing

(05:50):
under real-world conditions.

And here's the kicker (05:53):
this isn't anything new.
The HTMA has been a foundationaltool in functional medicine
since the 1970s.
It's trusted because it worksand because it tells the truth
about what's really happeninginside your body long before
standard blood work ever would.

(06:13):
For those who are looking forthe data on more of short-term
toxicities, we also have anadvanced environmental toxicity
functional lab test that uses asimple urine sample, and that's
also done right or at the track.
Once we see your metabolicblueprint, we can fine-tune your
performance plan based on yourunique biology, the same way a

(06:37):
race engineer tunes a car fromthe unique data, not from a
cookie-cutter template.
We can show you how to balanceyour minerals, remove toxicity
safely, and rebuild yourbiological system so that you
can perform stronger, recoverfaster, and sustain your edge
all season long.

(06:59):
This isn't guesswork, it'sprecision health engineered for
top performers like you who wantto run a pace and not be slowed
down.
Imagine crossing that finishline with the same energy and
focus you had at the start ofthe season.
No burnout, no fog, no crash.
That's what happens when youtake control of your physiology,

(07:21):
when you use real data to driveyour performance instead of
waiting for your body to failyou.
