**Define / Fix / Train / Sustain**

# ***Built By Biology***

A personalized coaching, training, and medical collaboration — built around your biology, with optional lab and peptide support — to lose fat, build strength, and take control of your body through perimenopause.

[Get Started](https://tally.so/r/ja2ByE)

## **How Built by Biology Works**

Most plans start with a workout and hope for the best. Built by Biology starts with answers. Every client moves through four phases, each one built on the last.

**Define.** We find out why your progress has stalled. A DNA and blood test, done together, shows what’s happening in your body. Then I walk you through the results in plain language and we set targets based on your data.

**Fix.** Your nutrition and supplement priorities are set by what your results show. Doctor and lab access is included, and peptides or GLP-1s are always optional and require physician approval. Your plan is adjusted as your data changes, not set once and forgotten.

**Train.** You get progressive strength training built around what your results flagged, with sessions that fit a busy schedule. The goal is to build muscle and support bone density through perimenopause.

**Sustain.** We retest at the midpoint and again at the end, so you can see where you started and where you landed. You finish with a plan for keeping your progress going.

The plan is built from your biology, not a template, so every part of this is personalized to you.

## ***Meet Coach Sam***

I'm Samantha Porter — ISSA and ACE-certified in strength, nutrition, and coaching women. I built Built By Lifting Coaching because too many women in their late 30s and 40s did everything "right" and still got nowhere — because nobody tested *why*. Built by Biology fixes that: lab and genetic testing, coordinated medical support when it makes sense, and strength programs built around what your body actually shows.
