hey all. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar. I find sometimes when I take ketoneaid in the evening (around 5pm-7pm) I have trouble sleeping (usually Go to bed ariund 1030 or 11 but in those cases can’t fall asleep well past midnight/1am). Am only taking 2.5grams. One change to potentially make is to only Take it before noon as an example but am wondering if perhaps it’s a false positive signal given the quantity is low at 2.5 grams and the effect seems to be lasting way too long? Interested to hear any anecdotes folks may have.

Hi all. Am curious if folks have protocols to improve mitochondrial efficiency without using peptides. Ie eating sardines, taking coq10, ensuring 7-9 hours of sleep etc. Would be very interested in understanding how Folks think about what they are taking (intended effect), timing and dosage. I saw a few historical posts touching on this but nothing that got into the details Of the why and how.

Quick check in for the new year Did everyone start working on their fitness goals yet? If so, what are you focused on this year fat loss, muscle gain, strength, conditioning, consistency, or overall health? Drop your goals below. Accountability matters, and it’s always motivating to see what everyone’s pushing toward. For me: I’m finishing my cut over the next 4–6 weeks, then taking advantage of improved insulin sensitivity with a 6 week lean mass rebound, followed by a dedicated health phase to solidify progress. I already started. That old “I’ll wait until Monday” mindset is gone at that point it’s just procrastination. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today!

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to share some progress with the community. From February 2025 to June 2025, I focused on doing things the right way carb cycling, a consistent Push / Pull / Legs split, hormone optimization, and strategically applied peptide protocols. Over that time, I went from 215 lbs to 188 lbs, recomping throughout the process while improving overall conditioning and muscle definition. In July, I unfortunately had to undergo back surgery, which cost me some momentum and a bit of size but it didn’t take away the foundation that was built. I’m already not far off from where I was, and more importantly, I’m back to pushing forward. This is just a pause, not a setback. 2026 is the real target and it’s going to be even better. Appreciate the knowledge, support, and accountability this community brings. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
