I Took 10 g Essential Amino Acids During Fasted Training for 90 Days and My Muscle Gains Went Nuclear I Took 10 g Essential Amino Acids During Fasted Training for 90 Days and My Muscle Gains Went Nuclear Most savage alternative title: “The $0.80 “Cheat Code” That Let Me Train Fasted, Protect Every Ounce of Muscle, and Still Add 12 lb of Lean Mass While Staying Shredded” For years I was a fasted-training purist. Wake up, black coffee, hit the gym hard, break the fast at noon. I loved the mental clarity and fat-burning benefits, but I always paid for it: flat muscles, crappy workouts after 45 minutes, and the nagging fear I was eating my own muscle for breakfast. Then in January 2025 I started one tiny change: 10 g of essential amino acids (EAAs) sipped during every fasted session. No carbs. No BCAAs. Just pure EAAs in water. Ninety days later I’m 12 lb heavier (scale + DEXA confirmed almost all lean mass), my workouts last 50–70% longer with better ...

I Started Eating Fermented Turmeric Paste Every Day and My Joints, Gut, and Skin Feel 15 Years Younger I Started Eating Fermented Turmeric Paste Every Day and My Joints, Gut, and Skin Feel 15 Years Younger Most click-magnet alternative title: “The 30-Day Fermented “Golden Paste” That Killed My Knee Pain, Healed My Leaky Gut, and Turned My Skin Glow Into a Superpower” I used to be the turmeric guy who took two capsules with black pepper and called it a day. It helped a little — maybe 20% less joint stiffness, maybe slightly better digestion. But it always felt like I was missing something. Then in January 2025 I discovered fermented golden paste — the traditional Ayurvedic method where you actually ferment fresh turmeric with black pepper and a starter for 5–7 days before cooking it into the classic paste. I started taking one heaped teaspoon (about 5 g) every morning in warm water or mixed into food. Ninety days later my knee that used to swell a...

I Started Eating Anchovies Straight From the Tin 3×/Week and My Skin, Hair, and Mood Have Never Been Better

I Started Eating Anchovies Straight From the Tin 3×/Week and My Skin, Hair, and Mood Have Never Been Better I Started Eating Anchovies Straight From the Tin 3×/Week and My Skin, Hair, and Mood Have Never Been Better Most click-worthy alternative title: “The $3 Tin of Fish I Eat Like Candy That Reversed My Thinning Hair, Cleared My Adult Acne, and Gave Me Omega-3 Levels Doctors Can’t Believe” I used to be terrified of anchovies. The smell, the salt, the little hairy fish staring at me from the tin — hard pass. I got my omega-3s from capsules like a civilized person, thank you very much. Then in early 2025 my bloodwork came back with the lowest omega-3 index my doctor had ever seen in a non-vegetarian (2.8%). My skin was dull and breakout-prone, my hair was shedding in the shower like a golden retriever, and my mood was… let’s just say winter was winning. Desperate, I bought a $3 tin of wild-caught anchovies in olive oil and forced myself to eat it s...

I Took 1–3 g Vitamin C + Bioflavonoids With Every Meal for 120 Days and My Gums Stopped Bleeding, Skin Glowed, and I Haven’t Been Sick Once I Took 1–3 g Vitamin C + Bioflavonoids With Every Meal for 120 Days and My Gums Stopped Bleeding, Skin Glowed, and I Haven’t Been Sick Once Most addictive alternative title: “The Old-School Vitamin C Trick That Reversed My Receding Gums, Erased 10 Years of Sun Damage, and Turned Me Into an Immune Superhero (Linus Pauling Was Right)” I used to think vitamin C was just the stuff in orange juice that “might” keep a cold away. Then I hit 40 and everything started falling apart quietly: gums bleeding every time I flossed, skin that looked perpetually tired no matter how much retinol I used, easy bruising, and getting sick 3–4 times every winter like clockwork. In February 2025 I finally decided to test what Linus Pauling, Dr. Frederick Klenner, and decades of clinical research had been screaming about: take vitamin C ...

I Sprayed Magnesium Oil on My Legs Every Night for 90 Days and Finally Started Sleeping Like a Rock Again

I Sprayed Magnesium Oil on My Legs Every Night for 90 Days and Finally Started Sleeping Like a Rock Again I Sprayed Magnesium Oil on My Legs Every Night for 90 Days and Finally Started Sleeping Like a Rock Again Most click-worthy alternative title: “The $12 Spray That Ended My 3 A.M. Wake-Ups, Killed My Restless Legs, and Turned Me Into a Deep-Sleeping Machine (No Pills, No Grogginess)” For eight years I was a terrible sleeper. I’d fall asleep okay, but like clockwork at 2–4 a.m. I’d wake up wired, heart racing, mind spinning, legs twitching like they had their own agenda. Magnesium pills helped a little — but only if I took enough to give me bathroom emergencies the next morning. Then in April 2025 I started the simplest bedtime ritual imaginable: 8–10 sprays of magnesium chloride oil on my calves, thighs, and feet, rubbed in for 30 seconds, every single night. Ninety days later I fall asleep in under 10 minutes, sleep 7.5–8.5 hours straight almos...

Citrulline, beet root, 100 g carbs, salt loading — I tried it all. Some worked okay, but nothing ever stuck. And the whole time I was fighting chronic knee tendonitis that flared every leg day and made me scared to go below parallel. Then in February 2025 I added one overlooked compound to my pre-workout: 500 mg agmatine sulfate, 30–45 minutes before training. Ninety days later my arms and legs look permanently pumped even on rest days, my veins are roadmaps I’ve never seen before, and — this is the crazy pa...
