All protocols

Include fat as part of meals, but monitor portions because fats are more calorically dense than carbohydrates and proteins. Even healthy fats and foods like olive oil and avocado can quickly drive calories up if added excessively.

Occasional indulgences like carrot cake can fit if they help prevent feelings of deprivation and bingeing; for example, once a week may be fine if it does not disrupt overall goals.

If eating calorie-dense healthy fats, cut back a bit on other portions to accommodate them calorically.

Place a towel on the floor, put a bare foot on it, and scrunch the towel with the foot to assess intrinsic foot strength; cramping suggests weakness.

Use towel scrunching drills to strengthen intrinsic foot muscles.

Can place the foot in better alignment and reduce ongoing knee damage from flat feet, though they do not fix the underlying problem.

For more isolated hypertrophy-focused exercises, train to objective failure to maximize stimulus in shorter workouts. Safe examples include single-arm cable pulldowns and Bulgarian split squats, where ugly partials or dropping the weights add stimulus with little extra risk.

Do not take compound or technically demanding lifts like rows, big presses, squats, and deadlifts to true failure; stop when form breaks down or get close without reaching true failure.

Suggested per-workout volume for smaller muscle groups like biceps.

Suggested per-workout volume for larger muscle groups like quads and lats.

Instead of always doing 3 sets per exercise, use 2 sets and rotate through more exercises that hit the muscle differently.

Count indirect work from compound lifts toward total stimulus for a muscle group. If you want more indirect biceps stimulus during back work, choose chin-ups, underhand rows, or underhand pulldowns.

If tired or constrained by life, divide a planned workout across two days; for example, do non-compound/high-intensity accessory work one night and strength work the next or a couple days later. On nights when neurologically drained, focus on the non-strength/non-compound portion instead of heavy compound work.

Named as a preferred hip exercise used in split sessions.

Discourages very young people from injecting BPC-157, arguing they already have the peptides they need.

If getting full-body imaging, ask for thymus scoring or assessment to track thymic status over time and in response to interventions.

Use the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio from a CBC with differential as a simple immune-risk marker; the guest notes most people already have this inexpensive test.

Use a well-formulated topical GHK-Cu product for skin effects; formulation should preserve the copper complex. Also mentioned as potentially useful after UV exposure to alleviate some photo damage. Presented as useful alongside, not instead of, a skincare routine.

Mentioned as the dermatologist-preferred way to avoid UV damage in the first place.

Use GHK-Cu with the rest of your skincare routine rather than in place of it.

Use sunlight as a free source of long-wavelength red, near-infrared, infrared, full-spectrum light, and better blue light, with the caveat to avoid excessive UV exposure.

Switchable full-spectrum lighting recommended for circadian support: bright, blue-inclusive full-spectrum light during the day and candlelight-like light in the evening; ideally without flicker. The quote references Raw Optics as an example product, but this is kept as the broader equipment recommendation rather than a brand-specific sponsor item.

Prefer indoor lighting that does not flicker.

While using GLP-1 drugs, ensure adequate electrolytes, micronutrients, and macronutrients; inadequate intake was mentioned as a possible reason for feeling poorly, along with low blood sugar.

Do not use tesamorelin without checking IGF-1 levels.

Before ibogaine, screen people for cardiac risk using an electrocardiogram to reduce risk.

Discussed as a psychedelic explored as an antidepressant agent; described as appearing very safe in the cited work, including small sacramental doses in Amazonian tribes.

Use awareness of sleep deprivation to question cravings and make more deliberate food choices.

More refined carbohydrates and simple sugars were associated with more nighttime arousals.

If you had sufficient sleep opportunity but still need naps and feel unrefreshed, check what is going on with nighttime sleep.
