General Health Systems
A practical framework for understanding health as a dynamic, interconnected system.
What this is
General Health Systems is a practical framework for understanding health as a dynamic, interconnected system.
Rather than focusing on isolated behaviours—training plans, diets, supplements—this book helps you see how health actually emerges from the interaction between physiology, behaviour, stress, environment, and time.
The aim is not to tell you what to do, but to help you understand how to evaluate options, recognise trade-offs, and make better decisions under real-world constraints.
Why this exists
Most health advice fails quietly.
Not because it's wrong, but because it assumes conditions that rarely persist: perfect routines, high motivation, unlimited recovery, and minimal cognitive load.
This book exists to address that gap—to provide a way of thinking that holds up when life is busy, imperfect, and demanding.
What the book focuses on
- → Health as a system, not a checklist
- → First principles that apply across training, nutrition, and recovery
- → Constraints as design inputs, not obstacles
- → Long-term consistency over short-term optimisation
- → Recognising patterns instead of chasing tactics
What this book is not
This book is not:
- → a training program
- → a nutrition plan
- → a 30-day reset
- → personalised medical or coaching advice
It will not give you a routine to follow.
It will give you a framework to think with.
Who this is for
This book is for people who:
- → care about their health and capacity
- → are tired of conflicting advice
- → want approaches that work alongside work, responsibility, and stress
- → prefer understanding over compliance
It may not be for you if you want a rigid plan or guaranteed outcomes.
