Blood reports are often seen as a direct reflection of long-term lifestyle choices, which is why improving them can feel overwhelming. But even small, daily habits can influence key markers over time. Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, an interventional cardiologist and functional medicine expert with over 20 years of experience, shares in his January 22 Instagram post how one micro-habit led to a significant improvement in a patient’s overall blood panel.

Why do mornings matter more than we think
Dr Bhojraj explains that many patients overlook how their mornings shape their overall health. “When patients come to see me, most don’t realise that stress hormones peak before breakfast, blood sugar instability can begin before your first meal, and one poor morning pattern can override an entire ‘healthy’ day,” he says.
He adds that over time, a clear pattern emerges. “After 20+ years in medicine and cardiology, the pattern is clear: it’s the signals your body receives every morning that matter most,” Dr Bhojraj notes.
Inside his programs, Dr Bhojraj and his team closely review bloodwork and track weekly health data. Almost consistently, they notice the same underlying problems, misaligned stress signals and poor metabolic timing. These hidden issues often impact energy levels, fat loss, and recovery, even in people who believe they are doing everything right.
Can small early-day changes really transform bloodwork and longevity
“When we correct those signals early in the day, the results follow,” he explains. Importantly, these improvements don’t come from extreme lifestyle changes. Instead, patients often experience measurable benefits over time, including consistent fat loss without stricter calorie cuts, noticeable energy improvements within weeks, and better recovery even before weight changes become visible.
“This is the work I do every day, and it’s why ageing well looks very different when it’s done correctly,” Dr Bhojraj says. He believes that sustainable longevity isn’t about doing more or pushing harder, it’s about sending the right biological signals at the right time.
As he puts it simply, “Longevity isn’t about doing more. It’s about sending the right signals, early.”
