Creating a yearly health maintenance schedule helps ensure that all necessary checkups and tests are performed on time.
Most people only think about their health when something goes wrong.
Pain shows up. Fatigue hits. Blood work comes back “off.”
Then it’s a scramble to fix what’s already broken.
But that’s not health — that’s damage control.
At YFS (Your Form Sux), we take a different approach:
We build a proactive health maintenance strategy that works all year round — just like a training program, a nutrition plan, or a business strategy.
If you want to stay strong, clear, injury-free, and inflammation-resistant — you need more than a “see how I feel” mindset. You need a schedule that keeps your systems tuned up before they fail.
🔁 Step 1: Shift Your Mindset from Fixing to Maintaining
This isn’t about avoiding doctors or obsessing over data.
This is about building in checkpoints, support, and recalibration windows throughout the year — so you:
- Catch imbalances before they become issues
- Stay ahead of injuries, burnout, and metabolic decline
- Actually track what’s working (and change what isn’t)
- Age better, train better, and live stronger — without waiting for a crisis
Health isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a system that needs regular maintenance.
🧩 Step 2: Understand What Needs to Be Monitored
Your body isn’t a machine. It’s a dynamic system with interconnected parts.
To maintain long-term health and performance, monitor:
- Metabolic health
- Hormonal health
- Digestive health
- Musculoskeletal health
- Mental health + nervous system regulation
- Lifestyle patterns
At YFS, we track these consistently — so we can optimize, not just react.
