The question everyone asks first is simple: what do I actually buy? This is the shopping list, in the order the protocol uses it, so you can get set up without guessing at 2am. The early phases are laid out here in full. The deeper you go, the more the right answer depends on you: your labs, your dose, your reaction. That layer is built with you inside the members portal.
Start here: your instrument panel
Basal thermometer, two decimalsGearYour waking temperature is the dial you titrate T3 to (target 97.7 to 98.6 F). Buy a good one before anything else.
Blood-pressure cuff and a heart-rate readerGearYour two hard safety gauges through the fast and T3.
Body scaleGearTrack fast loss and the refeed ramp.
Electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesiumOTCEnter the fast reloaded, not depleted.
Prep, the weeks before
Magnesium glycinateOTCMost people are low going in. If a blood test already flags a specific vitamin or mineral deficiency, correct it before you fast.
TUDCAOTCLiver and bile support as fat-soluble junk starts to clear.
Magnesium-citrate clear-outOTCOne gentle colon flush, two days before you start.
Carb juicing to hydrateFoodReal hydration is more than water. The carbohydrates in fresh juice help your body hold water and carry minerals and vitamins into the cells, so carb juicing is the ideal way to hydrate in. The one exception is the ketogenic path: if you are cleared for a keto prep, stay on water and electrolytes instead.
Whole-food taper, plant-based or ketoFoodBuild the high-metabolism baseline the fast works against.
The fast
Monolaurin and L-lysineOTCYour always-on antiviral stack.
IvermectinRxRuns continuously through the vulnerable window: antiparasitic double duty plus supportive antiviral value.
ValacyclovirRxThe targeted antiviral, kept on hand to catch a cold-sore prodrome early.
HumidifierGearCuts water loss through the skin on the dry-fast days.
Refeed, the first days back
Break the fast gentlyFoodCoconut water, then broth, then a slow food ladder. No T3 yet.
Methylene blueOTCMitochondrial support as the cell comes back online, decided per case, no fixed dose. Hard stop: not with SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs, and not if you are G6PD-deficient.
B1, benfotiamineOTCA refeed requirement, not optional. Replete thiamine before the carbs scale up.
Electrolytes and live fermentsOTC / FoodPotassium salt to replace what the fast burned, and kefir to start rebuilding the microbiome.
T3 therapy and the rebuild: personalized to you
This is where the protocol stops being a shopping list and starts being a decision about your body. The items are no secret, they are below. What matters is the part a page cannot give you: the dose, the sourcing, the timing, and whether a given lever is even right for your case. Inside the portal, Yannick turns this into your sheet: he sets your doses, strikes what is not for you and tells you why, adds how-to notes, and helps you source the harder items.
T3 therapy
🔒SR-T3 — the engine, dosed to your waking temperature
🔒T4/T3 taper bridge — keeps you from crashing as T3 comes down
🔒Aspirin with vitamin K2 — inflammation, cortisol, and insulin support
🔒Cyproheptadine — opens the eating window T3 throws wide
🔒Vitamin D3 with K2 — the co-factor that pairs best with T3
Rebuild
🔒hGH — the rebuild signal, and the preferred base
🔒Thymalin — rebuilds the immune system after the fast
🔒Fluconazole — antifungal for specific cases
🔒Testosterone — the final lever, only after the earlier cycles are done
🔒Microdosing psilocybin — optional, adjacent to the rebuild for neuroplasticity, with a secondary lift to mood and drive. A controlled substance in most places, so legal status varies by location and it is a per-case conversation.
Baseline labs
🔒Full thyroid + metabolic panel — your starting picture, if you have access
🔒Sex-hormone panel — for the rebuild decision later
