Key Biomarkers for Mental and Physical Performance
by Vanita Dahia
What is Optimal Physical and Mental Performance?
Don’t wait for disease to strike! Identify the keys to peak performance indicators with personalized biomarker assessment and health care.
To be at your peak state, you need to be at your peak mental and physical performance. Your body is dynamic and continues to change as you age.
You can be proactive. No need to sit back and wait for a disease to strike, mental health to rear its head or performance to decline.
Measuring you full blood exam (FBE) is not enough. All health systems are connected. If a sex hormone is out of balance, it will affect a neurotransmitter which in turn will affect the gut and immune system. It is therefore critical to ensure that the gut-neuro-immuno-endocrine system in a state of homoeostasis.
What happens in the gut is influenced by the diet which impacts the way we manufacture our sex hormones and neurotransmitters. Modulation in these systems will influence inflammation and immunity which leads to chronic and complex health conditions.

Unlocking Peak Performance: Key Biomarkers for Comprehensive Assessment
Identifying the state of the heart, how the body produces energy and where the metabolic blocks lie, identifying nutritional, vitamins, fats, and amino acid status, the state of the brain in mental health, mitochondrial energy production, gut health, and predispositions to diseases in gene tests are paramount in finding the pieces of the body puzzle to reach peak mental and physical performance.
To truly achieve an optimal state, a comprehensive biomarker assessment must go beyond standard blood tests. Key markers include a detailed Lipid Panel and inflammatory markers (like hs-CRP and Homocysteine) to assess cardiovascular risk.
For energy and metabolic function, we look at Fasting Glucose, HbA1c, and advanced thyroid panels (T3, T4, TSH), alongside organic acid testing to pinpoint blocks in the Krebs cycle and mitochondrial energy production.
Nutritional status requires measuring intracellular vitamin levels (especially Vitamin D and B-vitamins) and assessing the essential fatty acid profile (Omega-3s). For brain health and mental performance, neurotransmitter metabolites can be measured alongside stress hormones like Cortisol and DHEA to gauge adrenal reserve.
Finally, advanced stool testing provides a deep dive into gut health, analyzing the microbiome’s diversity and function, while Genetic (SNP) tests reveal predispositions that inform personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies, completing the detailed map required for peak physical and mental functionality.

It is important to work with a qualified health practitioner to identify the underlying cause of mood changes or fatigue.
