Any tips for a lifelong nail biting habit? I’m not an anxious person so I don’t think it’s anxiety related. Anything that may be happening on an internal level that I may be overlooking?
What's up Noah, new subscriber, been devouring your content, awesome stuff...
Recently I've been making my own beet kvass, then drinking a cup of it with a hydrogen tablet before workouts as a blood dilating pre-workout drink. Saw on your latest nutrition post that you were unsure about the nitrates in beets being healthy for you.
Any more insight on the health of beets/nitrates? And if fermenting via kvass does anything to negate would-be negative effects of said nitrates?
Hi Noah, I read your pre-workout nutrition and general advice, and it looks great. Unfortunately, my training typically follows breakfast because it fits well into my routine. I lift three times a week, do a run with sprints on another day, and have a mobility/lifting day. Since I cannot have food 1.5 hours before lifting, what would you recommend if I am lifting just 15 minutes after breakfast and possibly 30 min after waking up where I think cortisol is high?
Your recs for BPC-157 has allowed me to workout without tendon injuries for more than 3-4 weeks for the first time ever. 6 months and gaining some serious muscle at 38.
Any tips for premature greying of hair? Like my chest is totally grey and beard is a Santa Claus. I love rocking it but worried maybe I’m deficient in something.
Hey Noah - thoughts on Nick Bare and his lifestyle/company? Obviously I stay away from those types of supplement companies in general, but that guy is an absolute freak for not only his physique and strength (on gear??) but endurance as well. Dude ran a sub 2:45 marathon at like 195 pounds of just pure muscle lol. Curious your thoughts on the guy if you are still answering questions..
I tore my ACL about 3 years ago from playing AFL and had to have the full knee reconstruction. I thought all was well until about 3 weeks ago and when I sit in a 90-90 for a long period of time, when my left leg is in external hip rotation and i go to get up my knee feels as if it is out of place and locks for a few seconds until i straighten my leg out and it clicks back into place.
I’m not sure what this might be but do you have any protocols for this? Dietary changes, exercises, supps?
I’m assuming you will say BPC-157 but in Western Australia it is really hard finding companies that sell it and hard to import from America.
Hi Noah, I recently got a grade 2 strain in my quad and I’m hoping to expedite and improve the recovery process as much as possible.
I have BPC-157 in the arsenal, as well as collagen, gelatin, respective muscle/tendon animal products and lots of fruits in a balanced diet, and red light therapy. I plan to follow standard load & range of motion regression and then progression in a variety of exercises as my PT approach. Beyond actually going to a PT for manual therapy and any other e-stim, laser therapy, etc type assists, do you think I’m missing anything to tackle my injury recovery from all angles?
I have a 15 month old and am struggling to fit workouts in. I had a typical push-pull-squat week but I haven't seen much progress, or at least not a satisfying amount. Any tips for a father looking to avoid the dad-bod?
I think the biggest killer is the frustration of not being able to workout like I used to. But, getting in snacks throughout the day at home is how I can show my kid the way of rejecting a sedentary lifestyle.
Dad of 2 with another on the way. Like Noah said, be an opportunist and know what works for you. For me, it became working out at night, after dinner and the kiddos go down. I tried working out in the morning, not good for me like it used to be.
I also focused on DHT and T maxxing, which is why I’m a fan of Noah. Not because my levels were low, but because evidence has shown post partum also affects dad’s estrogen levels rising as well. Couple that with less sleep, and everyday life, it got me unmotivated for a bit.
But I stuck with it and tell myself no matter what, I’m not gonna be a dad that isn’t strong and resilient for my kids. So, slower gains cause of less sleep? Oh well, better than no gains.
Also, as soon as I’m done lifting, it’s immediate cold chamomile tea and protein powder mixed together. Calms me down from the lift, and gets my protein so when I’m done showering, I hit the bed.
As a fellow Minnesotan, I am sure you know this time of year is tough! We are turning the clocks back one hour tonight and it will be getting dark at like 5pm. Historically, this time of year is when the seasonal depression creeps up.
What would be your standard Seasonal Affective Disorder Protocol? Supplements, activities, anything thing to spring me into some momentum... I have been forcing myself to go to the lake and take like a 5 minute cold plunge and this has been helping, but I need to gear up!
What's some good material to learn silly goose maxing? (playfulness and teasing in social situations)
Especially for someone who has limited energy and time to maximize social events.

Thanks dude
When are you going to drop DHT maxxing guide ?
We need a post on randle cycle/cutting protocol!

Noah, how would you fuel yourself for an early morning weight lifting session? Assuming you were hitting the gym an hour after waking, roughly.
Need to better my speed and explosiveness for boxing, what exercises would you advise to drastically improve?

Hey Noah, what would you take/do to maximize beard growth (density, thickness, length…)? thanks!
DHT Max!
Butea superba (oral)
BPC 157 (oral)
Topical ashwagandha
Microneedling
Red light therapy
What does topically applied ashwagandha do exactly? Thanks!
What’s your favorite liquor(& brand)?

Hey Josh, you're covering all the essential bases and then some. Muscle is quick to recover compared to tendon & bone.
Don't sleep on micronutrients here. Namely vitamin Consider TB-500 combined with BPC 157 for synergistic healing effect

You must become an absolute opportunist.
Maybe you can't get a square workout in, but can you get 10 pushups in before hopping in the shower?
Can you set up a pull-up bar in your doorway and do five every time you walk through?
Can you do some resistance band pushes while watching cartoons with the kiddo?
Can you go for a ruck with him/her on your back like a rucksack?
All just ideas. This is as much a creative exercise as it is a willpower process. How can you incorporate workout "snacks" in throughout your day?
Thanks Noah! Great questions to ask myself.

Long, but I hope it helps.
Yeah thanks, definitely helps to hear how other fathers are doing it 👊
That’s a good tip at the end too, I always feel amped after working out in the evening and have trouble winding down 😅
Incredible insight!

Thanks brother! Best to you!
Get as much sun as possible while you still can
Consider vitamin D supplementation (5,000 IU w/ Vitamin K2)
Purchase a red light & vitamin D lamp
Get access to a sauna
Have one physical activity that still gets you outside during the winter (ice hockey? Shoveling snow?)
