All protocols
4,984 protocols across every category, most recommended first.
- ▶ 1ToolsPulse Dye Laser
Dermatologist-office laser treatment for stubborn rosacea or visible superficial broken vessels/angiomas; targets superficial blood vessels for clearance using a specific wavelength laser.
- ▶ 1SupplementsPrescription Interleukin-Targeting Drugs for Psoriasis
Prescription drugs targeting immune pathways such as interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 for psoriasis; described as very effective.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid Concentrated Cannabis Products
Recommended from a harm-reduction perspective because concentrates can reach 90–98% THC, are hard to titrate, produce much higher blood THC levels, and are more associated with tolerance and adverse responses.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid Getting Dogs High
Explicit warning not to expose dogs to cannabis.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsStore THC Edibles Properly Away From Children
Recommended because many THC products look like gummies or candies; improper storage can lead to accidental pediatric ingestion and severe intoxication.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsTake a Child to the Emergency Room if You Suspect THC Ingestion
If a child is acting strange and may have ingested THC-containing products, seek emergency care immediately despite possible legal consequences.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsWait 30 to 90 Minutes Before Redosing an Edible
Edible onset is described as a minimum of 30–45 minutes and can take up to 90 minutes for some people. Redosing before that window increases risk of overconsumption and is a common cause of adverse events with edibles.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse Low and Slow Dosing With Cannabis
General harm-reduction recommendation to proceed cautiously and avoid ingesting too much too quickly, especially relevant for edibles and inexperienced users.
- ▶ 1ToolsVolcano Vaporizer
Cannabis vaporizer device that heats plant matter to the point where THC and other cannabinoids vaporize without combustion; discussed as a harm-reduction tool compared with smoking. Referred to as the 'big bag' device, like a Volcano.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse Oral or Vaporized Cannabis Instead of Smoking for Harm Reduction
Suggested as a harm-reduction strategy because oral routes bypass combustion-related lung damage, and vaporizing plant matter avoids combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide and may reduce lung-related harms compared with smoking. Oral use, however, comes with dosing and timing issues.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid Cannabis if You Have Cardiovascular Issues
Recommended as a precaution because cannabis can cause vasodilation, postural hypotension, and compensatory tachycardia, which may unmask vulnerabilities or contribute to cardiac events or strokes.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse a Hot Shower for Cannabis Hyperemesis Symptoms
Discussed as something that seems to relieve cyclic vomiting syndrome associated with heavy cannabis use; mechanism unclear but repeatedly noted.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid activities outside your natural structural predisposition
Use your body type and structural tendencies as a guide; avoid pushing into extreme activities that mismatch your anatomy, especially at high levels.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsStay below the tipping point of stress
Apply enough stress for adaptation, but do not cross the threshold where cumulative trauma begins.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse provocative testing to identify pain triggers
Purposefully provoke pain to identify the mechanical cause; if pain cannot be provoked mechanically, that suggests a non-mechanical component.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsRemove exercises that replicate symptoms
If a specific exercise or movement reproduces pain, avoid it temporarily rather than repeatedly provoking symptoms.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid movements that trigger pain
Initially avoid the exact movement or loading pattern that reproduces pain, especially while sensitization is high.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsDesensitize pain by not repeatedly provoking it
Repeatedly triggering pain can heighten sensitivity; instead, create a desensitization wind-down by avoiding repeated provocation.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsSit upright instead of slouched
If slouched sitting triggers pain and upright sitting relieves it, maintain upright posture while sitting.
- ▶ 1ToolsLumbar Support
Use while sitting, including on airplanes, to maintain lumbar posture and reduce back pain during prolonged sitting.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsPractice spine hygiene
Learn and use movement strategies that reduce unnecessary spinal stress in daily life, including hip hinging, squatting, lunging, floor transitions, and rolling without twisting the spine.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsBaby Crawl
Use crawling to eliminate torso twisting that would otherwise aggravate a sensitized pain trigger.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsControl training volume near pain triggers
Sometimes the key is not removing an exercise entirely but controlling exposure volume and allowing deloads or rest.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsLimit end-range spine mobility in jiu-jitsu training
For jiu-jitsu athletes with pain, reduce how often you push end-range spinal mobility; keep the skill but lower the volume.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsTrain consistently and reasonably hard while avoiding injury
Maintain regular training over time, use meaningful but not maximal effort all the time, and treat injury avoidance as a primary goal.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsProtect your joints during training
Do not judge training only by muscle burn or muscle gains; prioritize preserving joints for long-term function.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse mostly submaximal training intensity
For general exercisers, make about 85% of workouts around 85% of maximal intensity/output for that day.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse occasional high-intensity training
For general exercisers, make about 10% of workouts around 90–95% of maximal intensity/output for that day.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse very rare all-out training
For general exercisers, keep all-out efforts to about 5% or less of workouts.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsIncrease rest days with age
Older individuals recover more slowly and may need more deload and rest days between hard sessions.
