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.

October Q&A Saturday 25th 12 noon EST (link posted at the bottom of this announcement)
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
peptide source
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.
Big increase in RHR
June - August 2024 I was living in Portugal, lovely sun in the morning. Morning steps, cold plunge and sauna everyday. Super cool room on a night. I was on TRT and GH and RHR got down to about 48bpm. This year June 2025 I started reta, still on gh, trt......and I only went up to 3mg a week. My RHR has gone up to almost 70. Even when I stopped in for 4 weeks it didn't really move lower. Now I'm not sure why it's staying spiked, I was considering adding in a low dose Nebivolol but I know I shouldn't need to take something just to counteract that. We all know RETA increases RHR in a lot. But what else can I look at to see if anything else is causing this? Thanks
