About Yannick Wolfe
Founder, The Scorch Protocol
I built this site because I was the patient first. The Scorch Protocol is the recovery approach I pieced together for myself after conventional medicine ran out of answers, then refined by tracking it across other people living the same nightmare.
How this started
I crashed with severe ME/CFS and Long Covid. For a long stretch the basics of a normal life were gone, and the standard workups kept coming back with the same message: nothing definitive, nothing that helped. So I did what a lot of people in this position eventually do. I started reading everything, running careful self-experiments, and paying attention to what actually moved the needle instead of what was supposed to.
Dry fasting was the turning point. Layered with thyroid (T3) support to restart a stalled metabolism, and later a growth-hormone phase to rebuild, it pulled me out. That sequence (prepare, dry fast, refeed, T3, hGH) is what became the protocol on this site.
What the Scorch Protocol is
It is a structured, data-driven metabolic recovery protocol aimed at ME/CFS and Long Covid, grounded in the physiology of dry fasting, T3 therapy, and hGH. It is not a single miracle switch; it is a sequence with preparation, timing, and exit steps that matter. The outcomes I publish come from real people who ran it and reported back, laid out honestly on the results page, including who it works best for and everything those reports cannot tell you.
What I am, and what I’m not
I am not a physician and I hold no medical license. My authority here is lived experience plus years of independent research and hands-on work with others running the protocol. That is a real form of expertise, and it is also a boundary I take seriously: everything on this site is educational, not medical advice, and it is written to be used with a doctor, not instead of one. Several phases involve prescription medication and are genuinely not safe for everyone. The contraindications page exists for a reason, and I would rather you skip the protocol than get hurt by it.
How I work now
Recovered, I now spend my time documenting the protocol in the open, working one-on-one with people through coaching and the members portal, and running the Dry Fasting Club community. Every claim I make, I try to tie back to the research it came from.
