📘 The First Dose — What I wished I knew before starting

Brady Michaels

Aug 6 • General discussion

Over the past year, I’ve been asked more questions than I can count.

Some I had answers to. Some we figured out together. Others?

We’re still learning in real time.

That’s what this story is about.

The First Dose isn’t a manual full of perfect protocols. It’s a map of the mistakes I made—so you don’t have to.

🧠 I waited too long to act.

🧬 I fasted when I should’ve fueled.

💉 I stacked too many peptides too fast.🍽 I chased weight loss and lost structure.

🔥 I ignored my gut, misunderstood metabolism, and mistook comfort for success.

And still—I’m here. Still learning. Still adjusting.

Because this journey isn’t linear.

And most of us weren’t handed the right map to begin with.

📖 The First Dose is now available in the BHPP Classroom.

It’s written for those of you who are just starting, starting over, or finally starting for real.

It’s not a celebration of wins. It’s an invitation to talk about the struggle behind the science—the part no one wants to admit.

Because if you’ve never made a mistake?

Maybe you haven’t actually started learning.

👇 Drop a comment if:• You’ve hit a wall• You’ve adjusted protocols mid-cycle• You’ve made a mistake that taught you more than a win ever did. Let’s have the real conversation—about what it takes to rebuild the body, the mindset, and the trust we lost along the way. Ill go first...
