I think I’m late but, you don’t care about Fats % intake? I saw Thermobolic aim to lees than 15% of calories from fats. Is this something you take in consideration?
Not sure if you're still answering these but figured I'd ask... Been dealing with constant fatigue for years & have tried many things to improve. Eat mostly primal with a ton of raw foods which have helped and only grass fed/organic, mitigate EMF & bluelight at night, workout consistently, sun. Took a lot of antibiotics during teens as well as accutane twice and think my liver may be sluggish? Started drinking carrot and beet juice which has helped a little but not sure where to go from here?
I have been diagnosed with dimorphism on a scale from 1 to 10, I was given 3,7.
I have a weak beard, I look unmanly and very young. I am 37 years old. My testosterone level is 630 and the norm is from 280 to 900.
I tried playing with butea superba, I felt that my beard improved a little but I felt that my estradiol level decreased a lot which killed my libido and self-confidence. I also tried tongat ali but differently I felt that my estradiol was decreasing and on my face I was getting very slim and wrinkles and crow's feet started to show. I thought about switching to trt but I know that it is not healthy. Please advise me master what to do. thank you and I wish you all the best.
I’ve been running the shredmaxxing protocol and noticed a couple things. I’m not at all hungry in the morning (I’ve been intermittent fasting for 10 years) but I’m eating a couple fruits. For lunch I’m eating average kcal meals. But at dinner/night time I’m EXTREMLY hungry. I become ferally hungry which makes me over eat which leads to caloric surplus and not getting shredded. I can easily eat a 2k kcal meal. Do you have any tips to leverage this? Should i up the kcal during day time, more fruit bigger lunch?
Well, by overeating in the evening you’re obviously not hungry in the morning. Break the cycle by loading up on fruits in the morning, you’ll be less hungry later and end up with less overall calories for the day. Earlier timing of meals is consistently tied to lower hunger levels in circadian research.
I’m in a pretty similar boat as you in terms of getting acne from dairy so I’ve historically been pretty hesitant to make it a regular part of my diet. Though I’ve been doing pretty well recently while supplementing with L-glutamine, so appreciate the advice on that!
My question is - what are the best ways to mix in dairy to the shredmaxxing protocol?
Full fat dairy doesn't have much of a place in the shredmaxxing protocol
No-fat dairy is a cheat code here:
- Low fat kefir
- Low fat greek yogurt
- Colostrum
Then during your refeed day, have some cheese or goat kefir. Dairy is designed to be a complete food source. Fat, protein AND carbs. Great for getting you big. Not great for getting you shredded
How would you go about fixing a muscle imbalance? My right trap is noticeably smaller than my left, every time I take a photo, my head and shoulder is tilting one way. Is this a muscle issue or a postural issue?
What carb side would you recommend to have with eggs cooked in coconut oil? Or should eggs only be in high fat meals? Ex) Eggs and yogurt for high fat?
Hi Noah - how would you deal with high stomach acid levels? I’ve done the baking soda test a few times indicating my levels are high. Tried a few things like cutting out coffee and taking baking soda.
Hi Noah, what's your typical week / 10-day training period looks like? How long is your session, do you train twice per day? how do you incorporate martial arts, rotational exercises, tendons / bones maxxing protocols, etc.? Thank you
I cycle my training priorities almost monthly. No week looks the same. I will always have "priority" training and "maintenance" training
My pillars are:
- Hypertrophy
- Martial arts (skill)
- Functional movements
- Strength
- Endurance
- Explosiveness
Each gym session incorporates some combination of explosiveness, strength & hypertrophy. I'll move weights fast & move weights slow
I'm currently focusing on martial arts, namely striking. So My week looks like:
4 martial arts sessions: boxing, MMA, Muay Thai
2 45 minute Gym sessions:
1 cardio session: assault bike in the sauna, 5k run, or sprints
1-2 functional sessions: Gymnastic rings, landmine, or kettlebells. Done outside
If I'm doing two a days (usually 1-2x/week), I'll have my first session in the AM, recover all day, then do martial arts in the PM. I'll purposefully stop myself from going too hard in either session to make sure I recover. Focus on skill & intention especially in the afternoon session.
Its hard to progress multiple modalities at once, so pick a priority and build your other maintenance pillars around it
What are the top three things about nutrition that you’ve glean from coach Paul. Is he gonna make his second appearance on season two? I feel like an article on nutrition with you and him would go hard.

Hello friend. I would like to ask you for help.

How much fruit do you usually eat in the morning ?
What was the hair regrowth protocol you referenced in the podcast with Anabology? Could you go into that in more detail?
In my personal protocol:
- Oral BPC 157
- Scalp massager/scrubber in the shower
- Dermarolling
- Topical Ghk-cu
- Topical Caffiene
Another tool here can be niacin (both topical and oral) in small doses
Legend! What doses do you normally use with those?

A simple protocol to mitigate the effects of a long airplane flight. Some things you personally do. Or if you don’t do anything in particular.
On a plane right now
- NAC or Liposomal glutathione pre-flight
- (up to) 5 grams of vitamin C
- Some lean beef patties prepped for the flight & airport
- Spring water with a molecular hydrogen tablet in it
- A few drops of methylene blue
- keep foot on metal seat frame in front of you
- Blue light blockers
- set an agenda for what you want to get done on the plane. Flying is a great time for introspection & new perspectives
how can i structure my ramadan fast as best as possible for my diet?
How would you go about fixing a muscle imbalance? My right trap is noticeably smaller than my left, every time I take a photo, my head and shoulder is tilting one way. Is this a muscle issue or a postural issue?
Postural issue. check spine and hip alignment. Consider some functional pattern movements and re-addressing your gait while walking barefoot.
What carb side would you recommend to have with eggs cooked in coconut oil? Or should eggs only be in high fat meals? Ex) Eggs and yogurt for high fat?
Eggs are best as high fat meals
Eg eggs, avocado, cheese
I have eggs, arugula, and kimchi often. Sometimes with sardines
If you're going to have a carb with it, have resistant starch potatoes
Would love to hear the process of making resistant starch potatoes? And I assume you can do it with rice as well?
Thank you for getting back to me!
What are your top foods for bulking? I know you mentioned dairy as one - what forms of dairy would you start on, i.e easiest to digest?
Colostrum
Raw milk
Cheese
Full fat greek yogurt
Also: Rice, eggs, and fattier meats like lamb and 85/15 ground beef

What is the “baking soda test”?
Hi Noah, if you train in the morning - would you consider egg whites + fruits as a good pre-workout or how would you approach it? Thank you
When I train in the morning I eat a large dinner the night before. When waking up hydrate & fuel up with coconut water, salt, taurine, and caffeine.
After my lift I have more fruit with "light" proteins such as greek yogurt & collagen powder. Then I have my first real meal an hour afterward or so
Do you feel tired waking up after large meal at night?

I hang out with Paul in person quite frequently. The main things I glean from him are:
- Quality is of utmost importance
- If you have enough muscle, you can get away with eating what you want
- Being present when eating is crucial
His training is what is the most insightful. Full intentionality with every movement. No wasted time or movement
