#75Hard isn’t a motivation challenge. It's a systems challenge. 1/1/26 could be the start of yours. Discipline without biology leads to burnout. Biology without discipline leads nowhere. We’re running #75Hard through a performance-medicine lens—hydration, recovery, sleep, hormones, and execution. This group exists to do it right. Show up. Track it. Execute daily. Who's in?

Fellas: today we start Mission 1. This is the foundation of performance medicine. If your insulin is out of control, you can’t burn fat, you can’t build muscle, your energy tanks, and your testosterone signaling collapses. Most doctors never teach this. I love to. For the next 7 days, we’re resetting the metabolic pathway that controls hunger, energy, fat loss, and testosterone. THE RULES (they are all labeled #1 as they are all equally important) 1. Walk 10 minutes after your biggest meal. This activates GLUT4 in your muscles — they pull glucose out of the blood without insulin. Less insulin → better testosterone → better performance. 1. Build your meals in this exact order: Protein → Veggies → Fats → Carbs (last) Why? Eating protein and fiber first slows gastric emptying and flattens the glucose spike. Flatter spike → lower insulin → better hormonal signaling. Example: Chicken → broccoli → avocado → rice. Same calories. Completely different physiology. **1. No snacking. Eat 2–3 structured meals only. Minimum 12-hour overnight fast.** Every snack = another insulin spike. Constant spikes = suppressed GnRH → suppressed LH → lower testosterone. A simple structure that works: - Last meal at 7–8pm - First meal 12 hours later (or longer if it fits your training) Keep insulin low between meals so your body can burn fat and restore hormonal rhythm. 1. Sleep 7+ hours. Low sleep raises cortisol, and cortisol shuts down GnRH — the signal to make testosterone. This is a non-negotiable. **1. Check in here daily with: “Day __ done.” Accountability is the engine of this Brotherhood. Every man here is taking ownership of his biology. WHY THIS MISSION MATTERS Most guys think “low testosterone” is the root problem. It’s not. For most men over 30: Insulin resistance is the silent force killing their hormones. Fix insulin → testosterone rises naturally. Fix insulin → energy stabilizes. Fix insulin → fat loss becomes automatic. If you want the mechanism, head over to the classroom tab and deep dive into the Insulin lectures. #Insulin

In today’s lesson, I break down how different peptides stimulate growth hormone and why they aren’t all the same. You’ll learn: - The two different receptors on the pituitary that control GH release GHRH receptor (Sermorelin, Tesamorelin) GHRP / Ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) (Ipamorelin, Hexarelin) - Why GHRH peptides are like the offensive coordinator (calling the play) - Why GHRP peptides are like the quarterback taking a direct snap (fast GH dump) - How Hexarelin is different: it has human data showing improved cardiac function (↑ ejection fraction) through ghrelin receptors on heart muscle - Why business, not science, kept some of these from becoming approved therapies My goal with this lesson: ▶ Help you understand where each peptide works in the pathway ▶ Help you make logical decisions about GH/IGF optimization ▶ Eliminate the confusion and bro-science around peptides If you understand this pathway, you’ll never be sold “random peptide stacks” again: you’ll know exactly what lever you’re pulling and why.

Most men don’t fail TRT because of the dose. They fail because of the delivery. In this lesson, I break down the physiology and the real-world experience of each method: PELLETS - Huge supraphysiologic spike → long slow crash - ZERO control once inserted - If the dose is wrong, you’re stuck for 3–6 months Pellets are like pouring concrete: once it’s in, you can’t adjust it. IM INJECTIONS (weekly) - Big peak → big trough - Mood swings, energy swings, estrogen swings High on day 2, depressed on day 6. SUBQ MICRODOSING (EOD / Daily) - Most stable blood levels - Least aromatization - Easy to adjust dose Closest to natural physiology. TRANSDERMAL CREAM - Lower peaks, steady baseline - Absorption varies - Risk of transference Key principle: TRT is not about the dose: it’s about the delivery curve. You’ll walk away knowing which method fits performance, lifestyle, and long-term hormonal stability. 👇🏼 Comment inside the lesson: Which delivery method have you tried, and what was your experience?
