Hey Noah, i’ve been running IG theme pages for 7+ years now and struggle to maintain the motivation as I want to pursue other business/career endeavours but the theme pages are my current cash flow so doing them is a NECCESITY right now.
What advice do you have that could help me maintain a minimum standard despite me losing interest in running the pages? 🙏
You have identified that the vehicle you're currently in (IG theme pages) is not the vehicle that will take you to the next level
So the goal is to no longer grow your company, its to make the company as self-sustaining as possible
Every action you take with that co is now with the intent of systematizing, delegating, and abdicating. This is a creative process. Make it your goal to make that co as low touch-point as possible
This will be fun, scary, exhilarating. It will force you to think outside of the box. Most importantly it will give you the space, autonomy, and agency to pursue new paths.
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.
Hi, Noah. 51 year old and need to lose weight/fat, 20 pounds or so. What modifications would you make to your shredmaxxing protocol to do so. I have previously done intermittent fasting the last 7+ years or so. Never keto or carnivore though. Also, when I lift/workout, it is between 11:30 am - 1:00 pm time frame. Thank you.
What is your opinion on the Raw Primal Diet by Aajonus Vonderplanitz? Is raw food really that crucial from a nutrients and digestion perspective, and is a high fat intake for supposed 'detoxifcation of toxins' actually necessary? (Aajonus suggests 200-500g per day which seems crazy). I find lots of dogma about this diet online and just would like to hear your perspective to put my mind at ease really
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?
How would you adjust the shredmaxxing protocol for someone who is 25-30% bf?
1. Be extra conscientious of the fat hierarchy
2. Consume less than you think, avoid honey or fruit juice and stick to whole fruit
3. Avoid starches altogether
4. use this newfound energy to move as much as possible
5. Get EXPLOSIVE at least once a day

You need to fundamentally shift the game

New game. Starting now.
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.
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
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
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?
What are your thoughts on a 5-7 day fast?
Spiritual benefits would far outweigh any potential health benefits. I have never fasted longer than 24 hours (and have only done that a few times).
If you had to start over with zero skills and connections, what’s the first thing you’d do to rebuild momentum?
I'd expand my time frame and follow my gut
I'd ignore all the "get rich quick" schemes and charlatans
I'd make my primary job learning, thinking, and pondering
I'd double down on self-discovery and awareness
I'd find one skill to get me in the door and use that as a vehicle to support my continued search for purpose and meaning
I'd embrace fear and failure as a sign of growth
Candida cleanse (or doing cleanses in general) alongside shredmaxxing protocol --- would you recommend / advise against / permit but not endorse?
I appreciate the way you formatted this question. I would permit. I personally used anti-candida herbs while on the shredmaxxing protocol.
Sugar does "feed candida", but raw honey, berries, and coconut are potentially anti-candida
Pau D'arco, Black Walnut, Wormwood, and monolaurin were tools I used, combined with a binder like activated charcoal

A high fat diet is more likely to be a vector for toxins then a detox mechanism.
As for aajonus as a whole, he has great points but is myopic. Raw foods have their place, but so do cooked foods. The sweet spot is in the middle
I go through periods of eating more primal diet and periods of eating no raw food. Cycled, as all things should be.
Embrace Aajonus's work with curiosity, not dogmatism.
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!
