My regimen has become far more refined yet complicated since I joined this forum early last year. I thought I'd lay it out for my own sake.
I am doing *some* intermittent fasting and time restricted eating, I am also cycling the keto diet in and out for a couple weeks or more at a time where convenient. I am also following my own version of the fission/fusion protocol from Turnbuckle's thread.
Supplementation / Augmentives on 3 day Cycle:
Day 1 to 3 (fission):
- Nicotinamide Riboside (750mg) sublingually (HPN)
- DMSO solution with urea and rosmarinic acid (35%) mixed with NR and CeraVe before face application.
- Mg + K + calcium + sodium (electrolytes for keto diet)
- Berberine 300mg x 3 per day with meals
- D3 (4000 IU) and K with meals.
- Garlic Extract (Kyolic) 2, 2x per day.
- Fisetin 1 to 2x per day
- Add NAM+Ribose on day 2, 1.5 hrs prior to calisthenic/weights workout.
- L-theanine as desired
- 3g Glycine just before bed with BioCell Collagen II from Jarrow
- MCT oil (helps with tremor and appetite)
- Smoothie: 50g spinach, 20 sprigs parsley (300+mg apigenin), whole tomato, 50g blueberries, 2 celery stalks, 3tbsp ground flaxseed, 2 cups water, walnuts, pecans or macadamias.
- End of day 3 vitamin C 1000mg
Day 4 to 6 (fusion):
- EGCG (green tea extract) on empty stomach in morning.
- 10g stearic acid twice a day on day 4.
- Muscle Feast Whey Isolate 1 serving before and after 20 min HIIT workout.
- 1x Gamma E and tocopherols from LifeExtension (with food) 1 hr+ after workout
- D3 (4000 IU), K, vitamin A (5000 IU) with food 1 hr+ after workout
- Curcumin (500mg) with food. 1hr+ after workout
- Garlic Extract (Kyolic) 2, 2x per day
- PQQ 1 to 2 times a day
- Broccomax with food 1 hr + after workout.
- L-theanine as desired
- 1000mg Vitamin C before bed
- 3g Glycine just before bed with BioCell Collagen II from Jarrow
- Smoothie: 4 kale leaves blended with 1 cup water first, then add 50g spinach, one tomato, 80g blueberries, 3tbsp flaxseed, (usually add stearic acid here on first day), walnuts, pecans, or macadamias, 1 more cup water. I usually take the broccomax with the smoothie.
I use the sauna regularly at the gym, sometimes just a single 20 min session after a workout and sometimes two 20 min sessions back to back (10 min cooldown in between). This boosts HSF1 which apparently boosts NAMPT expression which helps with the NAD+ cycle.
When I'm not doing keto I try to stay low carb and higher fat/protein. On fusion days I aim for more fat, on fission days I aim for more carbs. I tend to blood test my ketones every couple of days and stay around 2.9 to 3.1 but yesterday I tested at 5.1 which was a bit shocking. It's been two weeks though so I may back out of keto again.
I also have been taking carnosine more on fusion days than fission days but when I'm on keto I'm not sure if that's good or not since it cleaves transition metals.
Hope this helps.
