the formula for peak energy is simple
your highest excitement is the compass
be true to yourself and act on it with zero expectation
then the tapestry of your life will rearrange to support you
sharp mind(s) + imagination = the power to channel raw energy into purposeful (co-)creation
baseline DIY shake (carb / keto) with different boost paths: medicinal, bang-for-buck, peak performance & advanced
covers most people's daily essentials for performance and longevity
focuses on ingredients that are well-established with strong evidence bases for safety and efficacy
treat this as a menu, not a mandate. adapt it to your own goals
carb for classic glucose-fueled energy or keto to fuel a fat-burning state instead
primarily supports a whole-foods diet but could potentially fully replace it
ease in; the fiber load is significant
individual responses to supplements vary; start low and listen to your body + intuition
highly recommended to do your bloodwork & study potential (side) effects before starting
choose reputable vendors that lab-test every batch, like the one linked, as many contain contaminants
