Optimizing human performance through science, hormones, and data.
Biohacking
NAD+ is the compound I can't feel and pay the most for — and I run it anyway. What it is, where the human longevity evidence is real and where it's still a promissory note, the slow-push that kills the flush, and why the most expensive line in my stack buys the slowest payoff to verify.
Biohacking
Most people inject growth hormone. This stack makes your own body release it — CJC-1295 is the signal, Ipamorelin the trigger. The mechanism, the one-minute warmth, my pre-bed dose and CBD sleep ritual, and the real question: when do you graduate to real HGH, and how do you do it smart?
Biohacking
Retatrutide hits three receptors and makes semaglutide and tirzepatide look like the warm-up act. The mechanism, the trial numbers, my dose and where I'm taking it next — and the one thing nobody warns you about: it works so well you'll stop eating protein and drinking water, and burn muscle.
Biohacking
TRT is the floor. Blast and cruise is what you do when the floor isn't enough — without the crashes. Sit at a maintenance dose, push to a supraphysiological one for a window, then drop back and hold. Where the line is, the timing, the ancillary stack, and the 250mg I aim for from a 100mg base.
Biohacking
BPC-157 and TB-500 — the "Wolverine Stack" — get sold as a comic-book healing serum. The reality is more useful: two repair peptides that keep you training when your tendons want to quit. What they do, what the evidence actually shows, and the bodybuilding reframe most write-ups miss.
Biohacking
I spent a long time treating carbohydrates as the enemy. Timing them around training instead became the best change I've made to my physique in a year — and somehow the fat is still coming off.
Biohacking
Week 5 of the protocol, three updates: a NAD+ technique that finally works, an abdomen running out of real estate, and a primary-site switch to the lateral thigh.
Biohacking
The NAD+ protocol moves to 100mg Wed-Sun AM: same 500mg weekly exposure, 60% lower per-session peak, cleaner timing, simpler hardware, and a monitoring window to prove it.
Biohacking
Day 11 of the protocol. First seven-plus-hour sleep in the entire dataset. New HRV ceiling, weight a kilogram and a half down, blood pressure dialed in. Then the morning NAD+ pulse hit harder at half the dose than the original at full dose.
Biohacking
Yesterday's nasal-strip article promised the Oura the next morning would be the discriminator. The discriminator landed. BDI dropped 67%, SpO₂ jumped 5.5 percentage points — both the best readings in the three-week dataset. Plus the awkward complication.
Biohacking
Years of nasal-spray rebound turned me into a chronic mouth breather. Then a $60 box with two magnets showed up — and 30 seconds later I was breathing through my nose for the first time in a decade.
Biohacking
Day 6 of the protocol. Sunday is empty on purpose — the bridge between the old Tuesday-anchored week and the new Monday-anchored cadence. Plus NAD+ splits from one weekly pulse to two.
