Memberships Options: Read This If You’re New or Deciding How to Engage More Deeply
This community exists to correct a problem I see every day: smart, motivated people making avoidable mistakes because they are reacting to information instead of reasoning through it. Everything here is built around clear thinking, proper sequencing, and confident restraint. There are several ways to engage. Each one is designed for a different level of responsibility. The question is not whether to invest. The question is where you are right now. The Cellular Intelligence Circle For Orientation, Context, and Staying Current The Circle is where confusion gets resolved before it turns into action. This is the right place if you want to: - Understand emerging science without overreacting to it - Learn how decisions are actually weighed - Separate signal from noise - Avoid unnecessary intervention It is a content-first environment designed to compound over time. Membership provides access to a growing, curated body of work that functions as a reference library, not a feed to keep up with. Inside the Circle: - Peptide of the Month (mechanism, context, restraint) - Protocol and case reasoning breakdowns - Science article reviews focused on interpretation, not hype - Monthly live Q and A - Periodic synthesis webinars The Circle is not coaching. It is not protocol delivery. It is where judgment is built. Pricing - $79 per month - $219 for three months - $499 for twelve months This level is appropriate when your primary goal is orientation, understanding, and staying sharp. One-Time Consultations For Specific Decisions. Consultations exist for moments when a decision needs to be handled correctly. They focus on: - Identifying what actually matters - Removing unnecessary complexity - Clarifying what not to do Pricing - One hour consultation: $350 - One hour consultation with follow-up: $500 This option makes sense when a single decision needs careful thought. Ongoing Advisory Core For Continuity and Guardrails. This is for people who no longer want to think through complex decisions in isolation.

Understanding Redox: The Last Article You Will Ever Need To Read And The Keys To The Kingdom
Redox is one of those concepts that everyone has heard of but very few people truly grasp, and yet almost everything in human physiology depends on it. For trainers and clinicians, redox is the hidden language that tells you why someone can train hard one day and crash the next, why fat loss stalls even with perfect macros, why motivation drops without a psychological trigger, why inflammation rises mysteriously, or why protocols that used to work suddenly stop producing results. Redox isn’t a supplement, a lab marker, or a buzzword. It is the most fundamental process life uses to create energy, repair damage, and adapt to stress. When redox flows, people adapt. When it gets stuck, people stagnate. Understanding redox at a deep level gives you the ability to see beneath symptoms, beneath lab markers, beneath surface-level physiology, and down into the actual physics and molecular dynamics that determine whether a person is moving toward resilience or toward dysfunction. This redox deep dive will walk through what redox is, why it matters, how it gets stuck, what “stuck” actually means at the molecular level, and how different stressors push the system into different dysfunctional patterns. Throughout this, I’ll use analogies and imagery that make the invisible world of electrons and membranes feel intuitive and concrete, allowing you to visualize exactly what is happening inside cells when energy is being made—or when the system jams. You’ll see how mitochondrial membranes behave like electrical waterfalls, how electrons move like crowds of people flowing through hallways, how redox imbalance can freeze a system the way traffic jams choke off a city, and how trainers and clinicians unintentionally worsen stuck redox by focusing on quantity of activity instead of the phase of the system. Redox is short for reduction and oxidation the transfer of electrons. To understand why this matters, imagine every cell in your body as a tiny city. Energy isn’t created in one burst; it’s created by passing electrons down a series of steps, like handing a baton from one runner to the next. Reduction is when a molecule gains electrons, oxidation is when it loses electrons. In biology, electrons fall down an energetic staircase inside mitochondria called the electron transport chain. As electrons move, they power tiny pumps that push protons across a membrane, building what can be imagined as a “pressure gradient” or electrical tension. This tension the mitochondrial membrane potential is like the charged battery that lets ATP synthase spin and generate ATP. Think of it like water flowing through a hydroelectric dam: the higher the water pressure behind the dam, the more electricity you can generate. If the water level drops too low, the turbine stops. If the dam wall gets blocked and pressure rises too high, the system becomes dangerous. Mitochondria work exactly the same way. Redox is the management of electron flow across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Everything hinges on whether electrons are moving, whether they have somewhere to go, whether the membrane potential is balanced, and whether the cell can match energy demand with supply.
Endometriosis and PCOS
My girlfriend has endometriosis and pcos. I am looking for any protocols or information that may lead to healing. She has been diagnosed with intersistal cystitis as well. If anyone has experience with things that have helped them or someone they know, please share.
WHY MIXING PEPTIDES IN THE SAME SYRINGE BREAKS THE RULES OF PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY
Peptides are often treated like supplements you can stack for convenience. One for repair, one for metabolism, one for inflammation. That mindset leads people to assume they can simply mix peptides in the same syringe and inject once. The problem is peptides are not pills. They are fragile, information-carrying molecules whose behavior is governed by physics, chemistry, and biology at the same time. A peptide is not just a chain of amino acids. In solution it exists as a three-dimensional structure held together by weak forces like hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic effects. These forces are highly sensitive to the environment. Small changes in pH, ionic strength, or solvent conditions can change the peptide’s shape, stability, and behavior. When a peptide is manufactured, it is stabilized in a very specific formulation. That formulation controls pH, charge, ion balance, and solubility so the peptide stays folded correctly and remains biologically active. When you mix two peptides together, you destroy that controlled environment and create a new, untested chemical system. One of the first things that goes wrong is charge balance. Peptides carry electrical charge depending on pH. That charge helps keep molecules from sticking to each other. Mixing peptides can shift pH just enough to reduce repulsion between molecules. When repulsion drops, attraction wins, and peptides begin to stick together. Ionic strength matters too. Mixing solutions often increases ion concentration, which compresses the electrical “buffer” that keeps peptides apart. This allows molecules to drift close enough for hydrophobic regions to interact. Water dislikes exposed hydrophobic surfaces, so peptides clump together to lower free energy. This is basic solution physics. Once aggregation starts, it accelerates. A few misfolded molecules form a nucleus, which seeds further aggregation. Early clumps may be invisible, but they still matter. They reduce the amount of active peptide, alter absorption, and change signaling behavior.
The Coach’s Protocol — Pulling Back the Curtain
The members have spoke and I listened....Most coaches talk about principles. Some share theory. Very few show you exactly what they do themselves. about to change that. I’m opening up my personal playbook, the protocol I run on myself, to show you how I structure my training, nutrition, supplementation, peptides, and recovery strategies to stay at the top of my game. This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” plan. It’s the real system I use, built from: - Lab data and cellular feedback loops - Peptide science and mitochondrial optimization - Periodized training matched to performance goals - Nutrition timing dialed to physiology, not fads You’ll see the exact tools, dosages, timing, and reasoning I use and how I adjust based on metrics, recovery, and results. If you’ve ever wondered how a coach integrates the science into a living, breathing system… this is your chance to see it in action. Drop a 🔥 below if you want to see the full breakdown of The Coach’s Protocol.I will likely do this as a webinar. Let me know your thoughts who would be interested in seeing this to kick off our monthly case study feature.
