FLOOR 00Character Creation

At 272 lbs, my bloodwork read like a future heart-attack patient's.

90 days later, I re-tested. No gym. No lifting. Just food, a fasting schedule, a supplement belt, and about an hour of rucking a day — a loaded backpack, basically. I've got the labs to prove what actually moved. Including the two stats that got worse.

▸ SYSTEM MESSAGE  A Level 1 Soft Guy entered the dungeon. Starting weight: 272 lbs. Starting Testosterone: 297 ng/dL. The crowd is not impressed. Neither is his cardiologist.

FLOOR 01The Proof

This is my actual character sheet.

Every transformation shows you abs in good lighting. I'm showing you the thing nobody shows: my before-and-after bloodwork. Same lab, same panel, 90 days apart — buffs and debuffs both.

These are my numbers — one guy, one run. The re-test panel was drawn at the 220 lb checkpoint; I kept going and hit 208 at my lowest. Results are not typical, individual results vary, and none of this is guaranteed. Your sheet is your own — go get it printed.

FLOOR 02The Debuffs
▸ INTEGRITY CHECK

Most programs would crop these out.

I left them stamped on the sheet on purpose. If I hide the ugly numbers, you've got no reason to trust the good ones.

  • ▼ DEBUFF — HDL dropped (40 → 27.9). My "good" cholesterol fell. Low-carb dieting can do that to some people, and mine clearly did. I'm working it with my doctor.
  • ▼ DEBUFF — Ferritin climbed (391 → 464). Already high, went higher. Flagged it, watching it, chasing it down with proper testing.

A run with no debuffs is a run that didn't happen.

The internet is full of "guaranteed results." This is one real guy's logged run — wins and losses on the same screen — so you can watch for the same and talk to your doctor instead of getting blindsided.

FLOOR 03The Run

How I got here

I'm a founder. I run companies, I sit at a desk, and for a long time I told myself I'd "deal with my health later." 272 lbs. Soft. Tired by 2pm. Drive in the basement. The kind of low energy you start to think is just being in your thirties.

Then the blood panel landed. ApoB 144. LDL 156. Triglycerides 202. Total testosterone 297 — bottom of the range. Vitamin D flagged deficient. Inflammation up. I wasn't worried about my abs. I was worried about being around for the long version of my life.

So I went down the rabbit hole — Huberman, Attia, studies, Reddit threads at 1am — and built a plan I'd actually follow. And here's the honest part: there's no squat rack in this story. I didn't lift. I didn't join a gym. I put weight in a backpack and walked about an hour a day, most days. That plus the food, the fasting, and a supplement belt was the whole run.

Then I followed it for 90 days, tracked everything, and re-tested. Stat Check is that exact run — packaged so you can pull your own character sheet and start yours.

FLOOR 04Party Check

Recognize your character?

  • You're a man between 30 and 50, and your body stopped responding the way it used to.
  • You just got a blood panel back with numbers that scared you — and the advice was basically "lose weight."
  • You're carrying a gut you can't shift, your energy craters in the afternoon, and your drive is way down.
  • You don't want a guru lecture or a faceless "shred" program — you want to see what one real guy actually did.
  • You've Googled "how to raise testosterone naturally," but never had it in one place, from someone who showed his receipts and his losses.

Nodded at three or more? This was built for a guy exactly like you.

FLOOR 05The Loadout

Five slots. This is what I ran with.

The whole thing fits in five slots — and the movement slot is the one nobody believes. Each comes with the actual how, not theory.

SLOT 1 · THE FUEL

Eat — the anti-inflammatory plate

Low-carb Mediterranean (under ~100g carbs/day), high protein, high healthy fat. Full 7-day meal plan, recipes, and shopping lists — including a complete avocado-free version, a fat-swap guide, the holiday survival guide, and the "why this food" rationale.

SLOT 2 · THE FAST

Fast — the schedule I ran

18:6 daily, plus one longer fast on weekends. Which potions to keep vs. skip while fasting, how to dose electrolytes so you don't crash, and how to break a long fast without wrecking your gut. (High-risk slot — extended fasting isn't for everyone. Talk to your doctor.)

SLOT 3 · THE GRIND

Ruck — the part nobody believes

No boss fights. No squat rack. No "crushing leg day." I put weight in a backpack and walked — about an hour, ~90% of days. That's the entire movement loadout. The pack is the whole gimmick, and it did a shocking amount of the work.

SLOT 4 · THE POTIONS

Supplement — the belt I carried

The targeted stack I personally took — D3+K2, Omega-3, Magnesium, Zinc, Boron, Berberine, and more. A printable schedule with the doses I used and the brands I chose. Not a prescription. Talk to your doctor before adding anything.

Vitamin D3 + K2CORE
Omega-3CORE
BerberineOPTIONAL
SLOT 5 · THE STREAK

Lifestyle — the boring stuff that wins

Sleep (8–9h, cold and dark), morning sunlight, the daily ruck, and showing up ~90% of days. The least sexy stat, quietly doing the most work. Costs nothing.

+ THE LOOT

The toolkit

Printable supplement schedule · 7-day meal plan + shopping list (standard and avocado-free) · "labs to ask your doctor about" sheet · fasting-day cheat sheet + re-feed protocol · the rucking starter guide.

FLOOR 06Compatibility Check

Who this is for — and who it's not

▸ Compatible

  • You're a 30–50-ish guy who wants to understand and improve his own numbers.
  • You like data, first principles, and doing the work yourself.
  • You want a real person's run, not a clinic and not a hype machine.
  • You're willing to run your own labs and loop in your own doctor.

▸ Not compatible

  • You want a guarantee. I can't give you one, and anyone who does is lying.
  • You want someone to do it for you, or coach you 1:1.
  • You're after medical treatment for a diagnosed condition — that's your physician, not a guide.
  • You won't change your food, walking, or sleep. The run only works if you run it.
FLOOR 07System Notice
▸ SYSTEM NOTICE · READ THIS

The bit stops here. This part is dead serious:

  • I am not a doctor, dietitian, or any licensed medical professional. I'm a guy who got scared by his labs and ran an experiment on himself.
  • This is my personal n=1 experience and education — not medical advice. Not a diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prescription for anything.
  • My results are mine. Not typical, promised, or guaranteed for you. Two of my markers got worse. Your body, genetics, medications, and history differ from mine.
  • Consult your physician before changing your diet, starting fasting, adding any supplement, or beginning new activity — especially with a condition, medication, or family history of heart disease. Extended fasting in particular is not safe for everyone.
  • Supplements can interact with medications and conditions. The doses listed are the ones I used, shown for transparency — not instructions for you.

A full disclaimer and waiver ships with the guide. If that level of honesty makes you trust me more — good. That's the point.

FLOOR 09Lore / FAQ

Questions

Q ▸ Is this medical advice?
No. It's my personal experience and educational material. I'm not a doctor, and nothing here diagnoses, treats, or cures anything. Please run your plan past your physician.
Q ▸ Will this raise my testosterone / fix my cholesterol / guarantee I lose weight?
I can't promise any outcome, and I won't. I'm showing you what happened to me (including two markers that got worse). What happens to you depends on your body, your consistency, and factors neither of us controls. Treat it as a framework to discuss with your doctor — not a guarantee.
Q ▸ Wait — you really didn't lift?
Really. No gym, no barbell, no program during the 90 days. I walked with a weighted backpack for about an hour a day, ~90% of days. That, plus the food, fasting, and supplements, is the whole run. The rucking guide is in the toolkit.
Q ▸ Do I need to buy expensive supplements?
No. The food, fasting, walking, and lifestyle slots cost little to nothing. The supplement belt is optional and clearly split into "core" vs. "optional." If you buy anything, do it with your doctor's input. (Yes, there are affiliate links — see the disclosure below.)
Q ▸ What format is it?
A digital guide (PDF) plus printable toolkit sheets. Instant download. Read it on your phone, laptop, or print the fridge sheets.
Q ▸ Why should I trust you over a "real" program?
You probably shouldn't trust me over your doctor — loop them in. But compared to the faceless "guaranteed shred" stuff, I'm a real person showing real before/after labs including the parts that didn't work. That's rarer than it should be.
