Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well. A special thanks to @Anthony Castore for giving us the right direction in learning and showing us exactly where to look. I’d really appreciate some feedback on my comeback cycle. It’s been a long year of severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks after losing my sister — but thanks to God I’m finally feeling 100% again. ☺️ Stats - Weight: 96 kg - Height: 181 cm - Body fat: 15–16% - Age: 31 🎯 Goals - Lower body fat - Improve circadian rhythm - Fix hunger issues (especially nighttime cravings) - Increase muscle mass - Improve cardiac output and overall conditioning Morning Routine - Zero phone use for the first hour - Outdoor walk - Hydration: electrolytes + water + apple cider vinegar - Citicoline + nicotine 0.3 mg - No caffeine Compounds Fat loss & appetite control - Reta-Start: 0.25 mg / 0.5 mg (Weeks 1–4) 0.5 mg / 1 mg (Weeks 4–8) - L-Carnitine injection: 200–500 mg Recovery & sleep - Tesamorelin: 300/200 mcg at bedtime Metabolic health - MOTS-C: 200 mcg pre-work Diet Plan Training days - Carbs: 50% - Protein: 40% - Fat: 10% Non-training days - Protein: 50% - Fat: 40% (poly + mono saturated sources) - Carbs: 10% (complex sources) Output / Training Weeks 1–4: - HIIT: 1–2 sessions/week - LISS: 3–4 sessions/week - Hypertrophy: 3–4 sessions (minimum effective volume) Steps: 10k–12k per day Supplement Support •multi vitamins/minerlas - PQQ: 20 mg AM - Urolithin A: 500 mg AM - CoQ10: pre-workout - NMN: 500 mg pre-workout - Vitamin D3: 10,000 IU - Vitamin K2: 200 mcg - Vitamin C: 1 g - EPA: 4 g - Magnesium glycinate: 600–800 mg - Melatonin: 1 mg - Lithium (microdose) at night Cholesterol / Blood Pressure LDL is 200, so I added: - Concor 10 mg - Telmisartan 20 mg (fasted BP ~115/77) - Testosterone: 250 mg/week - Primobolan: 200 mg/week - Anastrozole: 1 tab/week Sorry for the long message — I appreciate every single helpful word and thank you all in advance. 🙏

Join me for our October Live Q&A on Saturday, October 25 at 12:00 p.m. EST. We’ll dig into peptides, mitochondrial medicine, training and recovery design, and real-world protocol troubleshooting. Bring your questions (big or small), wins, sticking points, and labs or metrics you want decoded. Come ready to learn, take notes, and leave with clear next steps you can use the same day. To submit a question in advance, reply to this post with “Q&A” at the top and a concise summary of your question; live questions will be taken in order after pre-submissions. Save the date, invite a friend who’d benefit, and I’ll see you Saturday at noon. Here is the link to watch the replay of the Q&A thank you everone for joining and thank you for sending your questions in! https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/pcj7EkP9JA9hgj2SIcHeiFFgml4klErn_CRj33Nbb10OM0gmzh7itR_vKyHGXXwd.Cs3mioaqFw2jbYHe?startTime=1761407862000 Passcode: e4T2tR!l

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.

Welcome to Castore: Built to Adapt—where performance meets mitochondria, questions are celebrated, and no one gets shamed for not knowing what "redox" means (yet). This is your space. A place to learn, grow, vibe, and get sharper—with zero judgment and maximum collaboration. To make this the best corner of the internet for health, training, and cellular intelligence, here are a few house rules. Think of them like bumper rails at a bowling alley: not there to limit you—just to keep us all rolling forward. 🤝 1. No Ego, No Shame, No Stupid Questions If you're here, you're here to learn. And learning means asking questions—especially the ones you think are dumb.Spoiler alert: They’re not.We don't know what we don't know, and opening up creates space for someone else to learn too. This is a lab, not a lecture hall. Be curious. Be generous. Be cool. 💬 2. All Topics Welcome. Just Keep It Civil. Training, peptides, mitochondria, neuroplasticity, sleep, gut health, goat yoga?Go for it. But...No name-calling, no eye-rolling replies, no “well actually” energy.Disagree without being a jerk. Debate builds better ideas when it's respectful. Rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t say it to someone face-to-face while spotting them on a heavy squat—don’t type it. 🔒 3. Protect the Content = Protect the Community A lot of time, thought, and real-world experience goes into the protocols, breakdowns, webinars, and resources here. Copy/pasting, screen-recording, or distributing any member-only content is a violation of community policy.Doing so gets you removed. No refund. No second chances. We love you, but…We guard the vault so we can all keep adding gold to it. Want to share something? Awesome—share what you learned, not what was written. 🚀 4. We All Bring Value Here Whether you’re a doctor, coach, athlete, parent, or just mitochondria-curious—we want you here.Everyone has a unique lens, and the best breakthroughs often come from unexpected perspectives. If you’ve had success with something, share it.If you’ve failed forward, share that too.This is how we learn faster and go further—together.
