So I thought I'd document what I'm up to as I've felt crap for many years overall, sometimes just a little niggle.
Realistic expectations by phase:
Week 2-4 (Post-FOX04):
- Slight improvement in baseline energy
- Reduced inflammation feeling
- Foundation cleaned
Week 6 (End of SS-31 phase):
- 20-40% better mitochondrial function
- Noticeably better workouts
- Improved recovery
Week 10 (End of MOTS-c addition):
- This is the big jump
- Metabolic flexibility restored
- Energy dramatically more stable
- Fasted training comfortable
- 50-70% total improvement from baseline
Week 14 (End of NAD+ addition):
- Mental clarity peaked
- Full optimization beginning
- 70-85% total improvement from baseline
Week 20 (Full optimization maintained):
- Peak benefits
- 85-95% total improvement from baseline
- New normal established
- Can maintain or adjust as needed
