Eight questions about how you are actually living, to find where your progress is leaking. Free, about four minutes, and nothing to fill in at the end unless you want your result emailed.

What the Hidden Friction Scan is
The Hidden Friction Scan is an eight-question assessment that shows where friction is showing up for you and where it is most likely concentrated. The questions branch on your answers, so every path is exactly eight questions long, but not everyone sees the same eight. It is for anyone, whether you train with me or not, and it is not tied to any coaching tier.
It gives you a starting hypothesis, not a diagnosis. It does not measure your biology and it is not medical advice. It points you to where to look first. A free call is where we settle it: I ask the follow-up the scan can't ask, and I watch you move. Thirty minutes, in person in Sarasota and Manatee or by video anywhere else.
This is the lifestyle half. It reads how you are actually living, when you train, eat, sleep and come down, and shows where that is costing you most. Your DNA is the other half: it is what can explain why a given pattern costs you more than it costs the next man. DNA-informed coaching puts the two together, for clients whose progress points that way.
What it measures
The scan screens five of the nine domains where capacity is built and lost. These five were chosen from clients' measured intake data rather than intuition.
- Stress and emotional load
- The load isn't the problem. Not clearing it is.
- Sleep
- You're sleeping. You're not recovering.
- Training
- Your body is under-asked or over-asked. Rarely in between.
- Timing
- The right things, at the wrong hours.
- Nutrition
- Not what you eat. When, and whether it's decided.
How it scores
Each domain is scored against what it could have earned on the questions you actually answered, so the result reflects your path rather than a running total. When two domains land close together, the scan names both instead of quietly picking one.
What you get
- Your primary friction pattern: the domain your answers point to most strongly, plus a second one when two are close.
- A read-back of the answers that drove the result, so you can see why it landed where it did.
- What that pattern usually looks like, and where the work on it starts.
- The option to book a free call, in person or by video, or the DNA Kit if you already think it is genetic.
