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
Hey Bryce. I have been working on gathering my data on a candida cleanse. The hard thing with these protocols is I can't just say what I did, but need to make it more conclusive/nuanced.
I'm working on it, but what I might do is make a succinct version and post it in the chat for everybody
King, how would a "Shredmaxxing protocol" adapt if the goal is to optimise metabolism and energy but with a stronger focus on building mass rather than purely shredding?
Would the evening meal be even higher fat and maybe have 2 or 3 higher fat days a week instead of 1?
Great abstraction on that, somewhat similar. Prioritize supplementation & PUFA avoidance and incorporate more protein in your otherwise fruit/carb only windows half of the days
So instead of having just a fruit smoothie, have a fruit smoothie with non-fat kefir or skyr.
Have a few days of anabolic breakfast, steak & eggs or my favorite: rice & ground beef
Optimize digestion so you can fit 3+ meals in post-fruit session.
If you still need to gain weight, +1 on starchy carbs and +1 on fat
Hey Hashem, yes you can. I think its most important to avoid having high glycemic fruits WITH starches or high iron foods. That seems to be where the problem lies. Mainly conjecture here but I solved my candida problem while consuming higher amounts of fruit consistently
To switch it up and not ask about health stuff. If you were to give yourself three challenges right now, what would they be? And out of curiosity what’s your take on God and faith?
What are some lifestyle decisions that my brother should make before considering Accutane? (he’s tried cutting out gluten, lactose, and has eaten only whole foods but it hasn’t provided him with relief. he’s also tried different supplements with Zinc and Vitamin A as well as glutamine) Additionally, would there be any supplements that would be particularly supportive when faced with acne? (assuming his health is already dialed)
I had severe acne when younger, and took Accutane. After that, have a little acne here and there.
Trying the fruit till noon is making me a bit anxious because a few acne is appearing and disappearing. I'll keep on it for now, but fearing needing to stop due to more acne coming up.
Hey brother, I haven't seen you speak much about Raw Milk or honey throughout your diet stuff - I know some people also recommend to consume that up until noon too? whats your thoughts?
Any supplements you recommend that can help chronic back issues/tension? Maybe to help heal? I am considering injecting PRP or that about that BPC-157? I'm desperate man.
You can't out-supplement lower back issues unfortunately, Agmatine sulfate for neuropathic issues and BPC-157/tb-500 for regeneration, but beyond that, don't rest your hopes on supplementation
Hey Noah, curious to hear your thoughts on taking small dosage exogenous DHT (prescribed by doctor) in order to create 5ar up regulation positive feedback loop. Accutane messed with 5ar. Thank you!
I’m 16 and struggling with pretty severe, painful acne. I’m trying to avoid Accutane because I’ve seen how it has harmed others, including you. I’ve noticed you talk a lot about the negative effects of Accutane, which is why I’m reaching out for your advice.
I’ve been doing a lot to improve my health , but despite all my efforts, I’ve seen no real changes in my skin. After trying countless diet and lifestyle changes with no success, I finally went to a dermatologist. The first thing he did was prescribe Accutane without asking anything about my diet, lifestyle, or what I’ve already tried.
What I’ve tried so far:
Diet:
• Sticking to a strict diet of organic, pasture-raised or wild-caught animal proteins and organic fruits and vegetables.
• Eating fermented vegetables, drinking kombucha, ACV, and kefir to support my gut health.
• For a while, I included grass-fed dairy (a lot of it raw) and some sourdough, but after my acne worsened, I cut out all dairy and lactose for almost two months. My skin only got worse, so I reintroduced it and noticed no changes either way.
• I’ve also tried low-carb, low-sugar, keto, and intermittent fasting.
• Completely avoiding processed foods and sticking to whole foods only.
Lifestyle Changes:
• outdoor workouts (calisthenics and kettlebell training).
• Grounding as much as possible and getting daily sun exposure
• Cleaning clothes and bedsheets often with natural detergents.
• Using only stainless steel and wood in my kitchen.
• Almost 100 percent of my clothing is made from natural fabrics.
• Getting about 8 hours of sleep every night.
• Staying hydrated, reverse osmosis water and coconut water.
• Spending time at the beach, playing tennis, and sprinting.(daily movement)
• Turning off WiFi at night and using blue light blockers.
• No alcohol, drugs, or smoking.
Supplements I’ve Tried:
• PoreFavor Acne Supplement
• Magnesium glycinate + potassium
• Glutamine
Skincare I’ve Tried:
• Just water
• The beach
• Norse Organics
• Grass-fed tallow
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Clindamycin lotion
• Salicylic acid
• ACV
• Olive oil soap
• Icing my face
• Heating/steaming my face
• Facials
• Baking soda
Despite all of this, I haven’t made progress. I don’t know what else to do at this point.
I am scheduled to start on Accutane in four days.
Do you have any advice or suggestions? I would really appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Whats up man. This is going to be paradoxical but more is not better. You are operating from a state of franticness right now & likely only exacerbating the issue. When I was your age I was in the same boat. Total pizza face doing everything under the sun to try and fix it
What you need to do is reset. Just let it be for a little bit. No crazy treatment, no more protocols. Just go low & slow
Keep acne out of your diet. Eat easily digestible carbohydrates and protein. Keep it simple. Use a gentle cleanser like aleppo or ivory soap. Get some full spectrum sunlight on it if you can, but don't overdo it.
You have disrupted the natural balance of your skin, it needs time to re-regulate. I'm going to DM you to hear a little bit more about it
Hey Noah, hope you’re ok! Have you got any advice/tips on how to most effectively approach the fat loss on a skinny fat body? I don’t seem to be able to get rid of the fat around my belly no matter what protocols I use. Thanks
Has it only been a month? Are you staying physically active enough? The objective with the shredmaxx protocol is to use that newfound energy to be highly active.
You're probably having too much food in the evening. Try cutting out starchy carbs & reeling in fat
As for smelly sweat, read my cosmetic overhaul guides I lay out how to not smell in one of them
Hey Noah, any recommendations on a good moisturizer? I already have the GHK-CU serum, and the moisturizer I’m using currently seems to be clogging my pores a bit. I have a feel a tallow balm wouldn’t be much better. Thoughts?

Cheers mate.
How much protein on the shredmax? Don’t anabology and exfatloss advocate for protein restriction?
Exfatloss's protocol is for losing hundreds of pounds. My protocol is for getting jacked and shredded
I advocate for 1g per lb of bodyweight
Hey Noah
What was the biggest needle movers in terms of fixing your bileflow after accutane?
Yo! Avoidance of PUFAs, Taurine, TUDCA, dandelion root, and NAC
Also would add colostrum here
Hey noah, Can you manage/kill Candida while consuming high glycemic fruits?
Hey Hashem, yes you can. I think its most important to avoid having high glycemic fruits WITH starches or high iron foods. That seems to be where the problem lies. Mainly conjecture here but I solved my candida problem while consuming higher amounts of fruit consistently
Amazing, I’ll try this approach thanks Noah!
To switch it up and not ask about health stuff. If you were to give yourself three challenges right now, what would they be? And out of curiosity what’s your take on God and faith?
Challenges as in endeavors to overcome? Or challenges I'm currently facing?
As for my take on faith, I gave a long-winded answer on my last Q&A that you'd find interesting
honestly be interested to get your opinion on both but primarily something you want to better yourself or endeavors to overcome

Unfortunate reality
Hey Noah, curious to hear your thoughts on taking small dosage exogenous DHT (prescribed by doctor) in order to create 5ar up regulation positive feedback loop. Accutane messed with 5ar. Thank you!
I've seen promising outcomes but I don't mess with exogenous hormones personally and can't recommend. But It is something i'm interested and open to

Hey Noah, recently cut porn out of my life. How would you go about hyper repairing your prefrontal cortex if you needed to?
Hyperrepairing? Go spend crazy amounts of time in nature. Become a camping fiend, or move to the beach
I'd personally use some psilocybin but thats not medical advice. I'd also consider bromantane, also not medical advice
Hey Noah, hope you’re ok! Have you got any advice/tips on how to most effectively approach the fat loss on a skinny fat body? I don’t seem to be able to get rid of the fat around my belly no matter what protocols I use. Thanks
Yes, the shredmaxxing protocol! L-carnitine can also help mobilize that extra fat. Keeping fat away from carbs as well
Yeooo Noah.
1. Do you have any fixes for normal smelly sweat? I'm taking chlorophyllin to try to do the "internal deodorant" thing.
2. I think my fat loss on shredmaxx has plateaud. And not lean yet.
What might be typical pitfalls? Maybe too much food/fat in evening?
Has it only been a month? Are you staying physically active enough? The objective with the shredmaxx protocol is to use that newfound energy to be highly active.
You're probably having too much food in the evening. Try cutting out starchy carbs & reeling in fat

That clicks..... 😂
100% then my issue is being sedentary on my laptop lock in days
