Work With Anthony Directly: The Invitation You’ve Been Waiting For…
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)

Understanding Redox: The Last Article You Will Ever Need To Read And The Keys To The Kingdom
Redox is one of those concepts that everyone has heard of but very few people truly grasp, and yet almost everything in human physiology depends on it. For trainers and clinicians, redox is the hidden language that tells you why someone can train hard one day and crash the next, why fat loss stalls even with perfect macros, why motivation drops without a psychological trigger, why inflammation rises mysteriously, or why protocols that used to work suddenly stop producing results. Redox isn’t a supplement, a lab marker, or a buzzword. It is the most fundamental process life uses to create energy, repair damage, and adapt to stress. When redox flows, people adapt. When it gets stuck, people stagnate. Understanding redox at a deep level gives you the ability to see beneath symptoms, beneath lab markers, beneath surface-level physiology, and down into the actual physics and molecular dynamics that determine whether a person is moving toward resilience or toward dysfunction. This redox deep dive will walk through what redox is, why it matters, how it gets stuck, what “stuck” actually means at the molecular level, and how different stressors push the system into different dysfunctional patterns. Throughout this, I’ll use analogies and imagery that make the invisible world of electrons and membranes feel intuitive and concrete, allowing you to visualize exactly what is happening inside cells when energy is being made—or when the system jams. You’ll see how mitochondrial membranes behave like electrical waterfalls, how electrons move like crowds of people flowing through hallways, how redox imbalance can freeze a system the way traffic jams choke off a city, and how trainers and clinicians unintentionally worsen stuck redox by focusing on quantity of activity instead of the phase of the system. Redox is short for reduction and oxidation the transfer of electrons. To understand why this matters, imagine every cell in your body as a tiny city. Energy isn’t created in one burst; it’s created by passing electrons down a series of steps, like handing a baton from one runner to the next. Reduction is when a molecule gains electrons, oxidation is when it loses electrons. In biology, electrons fall down an energetic staircase inside mitochondria called the electron transport chain. As electrons move, they power tiny pumps that push protons across a membrane, building what can be imagined as a “pressure gradient” or electrical tension. This tension the mitochondrial membrane potential is like the charged battery that lets ATP synthase spin and generate ATP. Think of it like water flowing through a hydroelectric dam: the higher the water pressure behind the dam, the more electricity you can generate. If the water level drops too low, the turbine stops. If the dam wall gets blocked and pressure rises too high, the system becomes dangerous. Mitochondria work exactly the same way. Redox is the management of electron flow across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Everything hinges on whether electrons are moving, whether they have somewhere to go, whether the membrane potential is balanced, and whether the cell can match energy demand with supply.
SLU - Bioavailable and Safe or NOT
Good morning everyone!! This came up in one of the groups I am a part of. I wanted to share it here to get Anthony and anyone else who we look to as an expert in this subject matters opinion. I know Anthony’s research contradicts the fact that the member of my group is saying SLU is not bioavailable. But the members research and thoughts are concerning. Can everyone share your thought on this and if there is any validity. I know many a RS has had great results with this compound. The below is copied from the group. SLU-PP is hydrophobic and must be dissolved in chemicals not safe for injection. For oral use, early member tests suggest that SLU-PP does not survive stomach acid and may break down into unsafe byproducts, including hydrazine-like fragments, which should not be ingested by humans. Initial data from Jano on the degradation testing for SLU-PP-332 in simulated stomach acid. https://janoshik.com/tests/87013-SLUPP332_PDDAB_DMSO_HCL_NAOH_H2O_SAMPLE_A_HFW3ZIDG7YN1 https://janoshik.com/tests/87014-SLUPP332_PDDAB_DMSO_HCL_NAOH_H2O_SAMPLE_B_XXH9UD6N8HGF Starting reagents were SLU-PP-332 and p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (p-DAB) in DMSO. Sample A was titrated to pH 1.5 with 0.1M hydrochloric acid in water and heated to 37C for 2 hours with constant stirring, then neutralized to pH ~6 with 0.1M sodium hydroxide. Sample B used the same starting reagents, but the heating step was performed without the addition of HCl. Instead, a mixture of 0.1M HCl+NaOH titrated to pH ~6 was added after heating to match the final dilution of sample A. Calculated dilution btw was 1.8mg/mL SLU-PP-332, looks like I got pretty close as sample B tested at 1.719mg/mL. The goal was 2mg/mL but titration is hard and I'm out of practice. Potential breakdown products of SLU-PP-332 are expected to be: 1-napthaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (4-HBH). The latter can further break down to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and hydrazine, which will complex with p-DAB to form the yellow azo dye p-dimethylaminobenzalazine. There may also be some complex formed between p-DAB and 4-HBH, I couldn't find this discussed in any literature I could find, though.
Ketone esters, hypothyroidism
Hi all. Short time listener first time caller. Was introduced to Anthony as part of another program I am a part of. I have received a lot of value in reading some of the topics in this community already, which is appreciated. I am interested in exploring ketone esters for the metabolic benefits. After speaking with Anthony on the topic am likely going to start with KetoneAid shots, assess, then try the Kinetic PRO, and then assess the right protocol. Will be starting at 2.5 grams of ketones a day and then assess if it makes sense keep consistent, to go up anywhere in the range of 5 grams or stop all together. Am curious of the groups perspective on anything to be aware of/dangers of taking ketone esters with hypothyroidism? I understand ketosis makes it harder for the liver to convert T4 to t3. For context I am taking liothyronine and levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. Appreciate any insights you may have on cations with ketone waters and those medications as well as timing so as to not interfere with the medicines absorption. I have also asked my endocrinologist for inputs and will share here once received. Thank you all.
