The Executive Health Gap · Research by Everlab
Executives look fine. Their blood work says otherwise.
Everlab tested more than 4,200 Australian professionals. On the markers that matter most for long-term disease risk, executives came out worse than everyone else.
1 in 4
executives have a cholesterol ratio linked to heart attack and stroke.
40%
of executives show early warning signs for diabetes.
50%
of executives have elevated uric acid, a sign of stress from diet, alcohol, or both. The biggest gap in the dataset.

03 · The contradiction
Fit on the outside. Flagged on the inside.
By their mid 40s, executives are leaner and fitter than their peers. Everlab found they carry healthier body fat levels and better VO2 max by 45 to 54. Yet across the blood markers, the executive gap widens with age. Training changes how you look. It doesn't fix what's in your blood on its own.
60%
of executives aged 35 to 44 carry excess body fat for their height.
37%
of younger executives have suboptimal VO2 max.
