Evidence-based projections for your 180-Day Metabolic Protocol. Individual results vary based on genetics, lifestyle, and adherence. These are not guarantees—they are informed expectations with Allah's permission.
Magnesium glycinate's GABAergic effects begin within 7-14 days. You may notice falling asleep 10-20 minutes faster and less midnight waking.
Muscle creatine stores approximately 50% saturated. ATP regeneration improving. May notice slightly better workout recovery.
Animal Flex's glucosamine beginning to incorporate into cartilage matrix. Too early for symptom relief—building foundation.
At 300-450mg dose, cortisol modulation beginning. Full anxiolytic effects require 4-6 weeks. Be patient.
Triple sleep stack (Mag + Ashwagandha 600mg + Tart Cherry) now synergized. WHOOP should show improved sleep scores, potentially 15-30 min additional sleep.
Muscle stores at maximum. ATP regeneration optimized. Strength training should feel more sustainable, less fatigue between sets.
Improved sleep + stress reduction starting to lower sympathetic tone. May see 1-2 BPM reduction from baseline.
Collagen (Day 29-30) just added. Glucosamine from Animal Flex reaching therapeutic levels. Joint lubrication improving.
Last day of glucosamine/chondroitin loading. Synovial fluid viscosity improved. You may notice less stiffness after sitting. Cartilage repair ongoing.
COX-2 inhibition from curcumin beginning (added Day 31). Joint inflammation markers starting to reduce. Synergy with Omega-3.
CoQ10 (added Day 31) now supporting ATP production in heart and muscle tissue. May notice improved exercise tolerance.
HPA axis reset in progress. Sleep maintained by Mag Glycinate alone. Cortisol may temporarily rise—this is normal.
EPA/DHA now integrated into cell membranes (6-8 weeks). Resolvin and protectin production optimized. Systemic inflammation reducing.
Type I/III collagen peptides supporting cartilage amino acid supply. Glycine aiding sleep. Early structural benefits may be felt.
Combination of better sleep, reduced inflammation, and CoQ10 support. RHR should be approaching 68 BPM zone.
Glutamine and glycine from collagen supporting intestinal barrier integrity. Foundation for probiotic introduction later.
The only magnesium form proven to cross the blood-brain barrier. Brain Mg levels significantly elevated. Memory, focus, and processing speed improving.
Second cycle benefits establish faster than first. Cortisol modulation and GABA enhancement returning. Stress resilience improving.
Both compounds support brain ATP. Cognitive fatigue reduced. May notice sustained focus during demanding tasks.
12+ weeks of joint support. Cartilage matrix receiving sustained amino acid supply. Some people notice reduced grinding sounds.
Mag L-Threonate + Ashwagandha + Omega-3 + CoQ10 all at peak. This is likely your sharpest mental state of the protocol.
3 months of compounding benefits. Sleep, stress, inflammation all improved. RHR should be in 66-68 range if lifestyle factors aligned.
90 days of collagen + prior glucosamine loading. Cartilage matrix receiving sustained support. Joint function noticeably improved.
Mitochondrial function (CoQ10), ATP regeneration (Creatine), cellular membrane health (Omega-3) all optimized. Energy levels stable throughout day.
Triple sedation stack (Mag 240-320mg + Ashwagandha + Tart Cherry) maximizing deep sleep. This is when tissue repair and memory consolidation peak.
Better sleep quality → improved vagal tone → higher HRV. WHOOP recovery scores should be consistently higher.
Collagen in AM provides amino acids. Deep sleep at night is when growth hormone peaks and tissue repair occurs.
Clinical studies show maximum benefit at weeks 6-8. You're in the optimal window for stress resilience.
4 months of progressive sleep optimization. If lifestyle factors aligned, you may be achieving or approaching 7h. Circadian rhythm stabilized.
Sleep + inflammation + stress all optimized for 4 months. RHR should be at or near 66 BPM target. Autonomic balance restored.
120 days of collagen support. Cartilage remodeling is slow but ongoing. Knee crepitus may be noticeably reduced.
8-week cycle ending. HPA axis well-regulated. Preparing for gut reset phase. Resilience established.
60B CFU establishing in gut. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains colonizing. Digestive regularity improving.
90% of serotonin is made in the gut. Healthy microbiome supports neurotransmitter production and vagal communication.
Collagen provides structural amino acids. Probiotics strengthen tight junctions. Gut barrier integrity optimized.
Sleep architecture now stable. Mag Glycinate + established circadian rhythm maintaining gains. Gut health supporting serotonin → melatonin.
30 days of probiotic supplementation. Microbiome diversity improved. Short-chain fatty acid production enhanced.
70% of immune tissue is in the gut. Healthy microbiome + gut lining = optimized immune surveillance.
Healthy gut microbiome supporting serotonin production. Vagal tone improved. May notice more stable mood throughout day.
5 months of anti-inflammatory support (Omega-3, Turmeric, Probiotics). Inflammatory markers should be at protocol minimum.
Broad-spectrum multivitamin addressing any remaining micronutrient insufficiencies. B-vitamins optimizing energy metabolism.
15mg zinc from OPTI-MEN supporting immune function, testosterone production, and wound healing.
Extended probiotic supplementation. Microbiome remodeling well-established. Gut-brain communication optimized.
B-complex from OPTI-MEN supporting cellular energy production, methylation, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
From 5.85h deficit to potentially 7h+ with improved quality. Circadian rhythm stable. Deep sleep optimized. This took patience and consistency.
5 BPM reduction through sleep, stress, and inflammation optimization. Autonomic nervous system balanced. Heart functioning efficiently.
180 days of collagen + 45 days glucosamine/chondroitin. Crepitus likely reduced. Joint comfort significantly improved. Foundation for long-term joint health.
Cognitive clarity, stress resilience, gut health, immune function, energy levels—all optimized through targeted, evidence-based supplementation.
