A lot of people in this community are doing the work training, learning, cleaning up nutrition, experimenting with protocols yet still feeling like they’re not fully accessing the performance, clarity, energy, or momentum they know is inside them. It’s not because they’re missing discipline. It’s because they’re missing precision. Your physiology is speaking all the time. Recovery patterns, inflammation, redox shifts, sleep architecture, mitochondrial output these are signals. When you know how to interpret them, progress becomes inevitable. That’s where I come in. For the first time, I’m opening up clear paths for those who want deeper support and a guided transformation inside the Castore Core ecosystem. I take on only a handful of new clients each month to maintain the level of detail, personalization, and precision this work deserves. Option 1 Introductory Consults For the person seeking clarity, direction, or troubleshooting without a long-term commitment. These sessions do not include ongoing email support. Introductory Special $500 1-hour consult 30-minute follow-up Written notes + actionable plan This is the cleanest on-ramp to breakthrough momentum. Single Consult $350 1-hour targeted consult Strategic direction or troubleshooting Direct. Focused. High impact. Perfect if you want clarity right now but don’t need ongoing support. Option 2 Castore Core: Evolution Tier $600/month or $1500 paid upfront (3-month commitment) For those who want guided progress, accountability, structure, and steady forward movement without overwhelm. You get: 1-hour Zoom check-in each month Unlimited email support with a 48-hour turnaround Protocol refinements as your training, stress, and recovery evolve Evolution is where you take action and I help you sharpen the edge every step of the way. Not for: Those needing high-frequency access or rapid protocol iteration. Option 3 — Castore Core: Ascension Tier $1400/month or $3600 paid upfront (3-month commitment)

I’m wondering where everyone gets their injectible peptides from? Anthony, does SSRP have a preferred source that us in the community could purchase from? Any online clinic where a virtual consult could be done and the peptides prescribed from a compounding pharmacy and shipped to our residence? I have a functional medicine doctor in miami but he requires you pick them up and they are already reconstituted which affects their expiration.

@Anthony Castore Your boy has been on my mind. Do we have any updates? Hope he’s doing amazing and recovering?!!! 🙏🏼💕 Avocado, my Mal, isn’t fully back, but a lot better. Appears to me it is a strain of some sort in his left hind leg. The CBD, love and attempt to keep him from being his spunky self seem to aid toward healing… 🙏🏼

Last night, I woke up to something that shook me in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. My bulldog Jeter, who’s ten now and basically my shadow, was shivering on the inhale while he slept. At first I thought maybe he was cold, or dreaming. Bulldogs dream with their whole soul, so that wasn’t unusual. But something felt off. The tremor wasn’t rhythmic like dreaming. It was sharp, almost like a nerve misfiring. When he got up from bed to walk to another room, he seemed weak like his legs weren’t receiving the normal signals from his brain. His shoulders and legs trembled slightly, his paws looked unsure beneath him, and he kept repositioning like he couldn’t get comfortable. That’s when my stomach dropped. I scooped him up, put him in the car, and Julie and I drove straight to MedVet. If you’ve ever loved a dog deeply, you know that feeling where you go from half-asleep to wide awake with one single thought: “Please let him be okay.” At MedVet they gave him a ketamine and methadone shot for pain, and they suspected a disc issue in his spine. They didn’t run an MRI that night, so we were left with the kind of diagnosis most dog owners get at first: “Likely disc compression, monitor closely.” In other words, an entire universe of things could be happening under the surface. When we finally got back home, Jeter was sedated, wobbly, and tremoring. He was trying to be strong bulldogs have a level of pride that honestly rivals ours—but he was struggling. And in moments like that, both as a practitioner and as a dog dad, you are forced to sit between two worlds: the scientific understanding of what’s happening, and the emotional weight of watching someone you love suffer. That’s what inspired me to write this for you today not just to share the story, but to teach you what’s actually going on inside a dog’s body when a disc bulges, why the symptoms show up the way they do, and how targeted regenerative peptides like Pentosan, ARA-290, TB-500, BPC-157, and SS-31 can create a powerful recovery pathway when used correctly.

When people talk about “redox,” they often imagine a simple on/off switch: too much oxidation is bad, too little is good, and antioxidants somehow fix everything. But redox isn’t a static level. It is a movement, a rhythm, a pulse. It is the cell’s equivalent of breathing: electrons are passed, accepted, handed off, and recycled in a constant dance that allows mitochondria to do the one thing that keeps everything else alive create a stable flow of energy without generating destructive chaos. When that movement slows or stops, the body becomes metabolically stuck. It can’t shift gears. It can’t adapt. It can’t repair. And one of the simplest, most reliable ways to know whether that electron pulse is moving or jammed is something most people overlook entirely: your resting lactate and your resting heart-rate variability. These two markers act like a window into how well mitochondria are moving electrons through the respiratory chain and how much stress your nervous system is carrying while trying to compensate. To understand this, it helps to picture metabolism the way you might imagine traffic moving through a city. If everything is functioning well, cars move smoothly through intersections. Some lanes slow down at certain times, others accelerate, but the rhythm remains fluid. In the mitochondria, electrons are the cars, and the electron transport chain is the road network guiding them from one stop to the next. When the road ahead is blocked because of infection, stress, injury, hypoxia, toxic burden, inflammation, or even intense training the cars have nowhere to go. They pile up. The system becomes backed up. In cellular terms, that backup shows up as elevated NADH relative to NAD+, sluggish electron transfer, a reduced ability to pass electrons to oxygen, and an emergency diversion of energy processing toward lactate production because it’s the only exit ramp left open. This is why elevated resting lactate is so revealing. A healthy cell at rest does not need to rely heavily on lactate production. Lactate is not the enemy in fact, it’s a valuable metabolic currency during exercise but at rest, consistently elevated lactate is like seeing rush-hour gridlock at midnight. Something is blocking the flow. And when lactate stays elevated several mornings in a row, it often means the mitochondria can’t clear electrons efficiently, so cells are forced to rely on the “quick and dirty” energy pathway instead of the high-efficiency mitochondrial one. The body becomes stuck in a pseudo-hypoxic state where the cell is not lacking oxygen, but from the mitochondria’s perspective, it might as well be.
