Tracking Multiple Outcomes in Trendwell

By Trendwell Team·

You've been tracking one outcome successfully. Now you want to add another. Weight AND blood pressure. Energy AND sleep quality. Here's how to track multiple outcomes effectively.

When to Add Another Outcome

Good Signs You're Ready

  • First outcome tracking is habitual
  • You understand the correlation insights
  • You have bandwidth for more
  • You have a clear reason to track another outcome

Not Ready If

  • First tracking still feels like effort
  • Missing days frequently
  • Overwhelmed by current tracking
  • Adding just to add

Start simple. Master one before adding more.

Key Insight: Multiple outcomes share inputs. You don't double your tracking burden.

How Multiple Outcomes Work

Shared Inputs

Many inputs affect multiple outcomes:

InputWeightBPEnergySleep
Sleep quality
Stress
Movement
Sodium
Meal timing

If you track sleep for weight, it also applies to BP and energy.

Outcome-Specific Inputs

Some inputs matter for specific outcomes:

  • Sodium: Primarily BP
  • Caffeine timing: Primarily sleep/energy
  • Last meal time: Primarily weight/sleep

Add these as needed.

Correlation Across Outcomes

Interesting insights emerge:

  • "Poor sleep correlates with both higher weight AND higher BP"
  • "High stress days show in energy AND BP"

Adding a Second Outcome

Step by Step

  1. Continue current tracking (don't stop)
  2. Add outcome measurement (new reading to log)
  3. Review inputs - Add outcome-specific inputs if needed
  4. Watch for shared patterns

Example: Adding BP to Weight

Already tracking for weight:

  • Sleep opportunity
  • Eating window
  • Movement
  • Stress

Add for BP:

  • BP readings (new outcome)
  • Sodium input (new input)

You're not starting over—you're expanding.

Managing Multiple Outcomes

Dashboard Views

Switch between outcome views:

  • Weight dashboard shows weight trend + related inputs
  • BP dashboard shows BP trend + related inputs
  • Shared inputs appear in both

Daily Logging

Still simple:

  • Log inputs once (they apply to all outcomes)
  • Log each outcome measurement separately
  • Exception-based still works

Weekly Review

Review each outcome:

  • Check weight trend
  • Check BP trend
  • Note which inputs affect which outcomes

Common Multi-Outcome Combinations

Weight + BP

Shared inputs: Sleep, stress, movement

Unique inputs:

  • Weight: Eating window, meal frequency
  • BP: Sodium, alcohol

Connection: Weight loss often improves BP

Energy + Sleep

Shared inputs: Stress, caffeine

Unique inputs:

  • Energy: Movement, hydration
  • Sleep: Bedtime, last meal time

Connection: Better sleep usually means better energy

BP + Energy

Shared inputs: Sleep, stress, movement

Unique inputs:

  • BP: Sodium, alcohol
  • Energy: Caffeine, hydration

Connection: Same lifestyle improvements help both

Tips for Success

Don't Add Too Fast

  • Master one outcome first (1-2 months)
  • Add one at a time
  • Give each addition time to settle

Leverage Shared Inputs

  • One set of inputs serves multiple outcomes
  • Focus on inputs that affect everything (sleep, stress, movement)

Simplify If Overwhelmed

  • Remove outcome-specific inputs temporarily
  • Reduce to shared inputs only
  • Quality over quantity

Notice the Connections

  • Same inputs often affect multiple outcomes
  • Improving one often improves others
  • Holistic health view emerges

When to Stop Adding

Enough Outcomes

For most people, 2-3 outcomes is plenty:

  • Captures major health areas
  • Manageable tracking burden
  • Sufficient insight

Diminishing Returns

More outcomes don't always mean more insight:

  • Complexity increases
  • Focus decreases
  • Consider whether you need another

Next Steps

Multiple outcomes provide a fuller health picture. Add them wisely, and you'll see how everything connects.
