This Retatrutide carbs vs no-carbs discussion is a perfect example of the kind of work we’ll be doing inside the Cellular Intelligence Circle. I am attaching a video so you guys can get a sense of what to expect. Not hot takes. Not protocols copied from the internet. Not arguing teams or tribes. Instead, I’ll show you how I actually think. How I zoom out, identify what system is really being affected, and trace decisions back to first principles like cellular energetics, redox balance, signaling hierarchy, and context. You’ll see how to move beyond surface-level debates and start asking better questions. The kind of questions that cut through hype, confusion, and false certainty. The goal of the Circle isn’t to tell you what to think. It’s to teach you how to think for yourself. If you’re tired of conflicting advice, overconfident influencers, and protocols that work in theory but fall apart in real humans, this community is built for you. We’ll break down topics like peptides, metabolism, training, recovery, fat loss, and longevity in a way that connects the dots instead of fragmenting them. We kick off in February, and each month will center around a focused agenda designed to build real understanding, not just information overload. Members will get long-form breakdowns, case studies, monthly live Q&A discussions, and practical frameworks they can actually apply. If this video made you stop and rethink the question instead of picking a side, you’re exactly who this was built for. More details coming soon…. The Cellular Intelligence Circle launches February.

I was just wondering what everyone’s favorite non peptide,sarm, steroid supplement was. Heres mine

Most people think performance improves by pushing harder. More intensity, more volume, more effort, more stimulation. That belief makes sense because intensity is visible. You can see heavy weights, fast running, deep breathing, sweat, and fatigue. What you cannot see is what actually determines whether the body adapts or breaks down. That hidden factor is how well the body handles transitions. Biology does not reward force. It rewards coordination. At every level of the body, from a single cell to the entire nervous system, health and performance depend on how smoothly systems shift from one state to another. These shifts include rest to effort, effort to recovery, fed to fasted, stress to calm, inflammation to healing, and sleep to wakefulness. The quality of these transitions determines whether the system becomes stronger or weaker over time. A transition in biology is any moment when demand changes faster than structure can adapt. When exercise begins, muscles suddenly require more energy. When exercise stops, energy demand suddenly drops. When food is eaten, nutrients flood the bloodstream. When fasting occurs, energy must be mobilized internally. When stress hormones rise, immune and metabolic priorities shift. These changes are not steady states. They are moments of adjustment, and they are where the system is most vulnerable. Most people misunderstand how energy works in the body. Energy is not something you simply have or run out of. Energy is controlled flow. At the cellular level, this flow is managed by mitochondria. Mitochondria are often called powerhouses, but a better way to understand them is as traffic controllers. Their job is not just to make energy, but to regulate how electrons move through a tightly controlled system. Electrons enter mitochondria from the breakdown of food and stored fuels. These electrons move through a series of protein complexes called the electron transport chain. As electrons move through this chain, energy is released in a controlled way to produce ATP, the molecule used to perform work. ATP is not the goal. It is the result of proper electron flow. When electron flow is smooth, energy production is clean and signaling is preserved. When electron flow becomes congested, problems arise.

Just wanted to share this…. stumbled upon an extract called maizinol….. derived from corn. Has some pretty impressive effects for increasing deep sleep by up to an extra 30 minutes a night over the course of a few weeks which is pretty astounding. here’s the pubmed links if anyone is interested https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12759108/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9889011/ Interestingly it looks like cvs brand has the only product i could find that only has maizinol as the sole ingredient it’s called “deep sleep support” . Please chime in if anyone has tried this for sleep

What protocol do you follow to minimize jet lag, avoid drops in HRV, and improve sleep after traveling to a different time zone? @Anthony Castore
