Success Rate Data: The Scorch Protocol Results
This page presents real data from participants who have completed The Scorch Protocol, showing measurable improvements across multiple chronic illness symptoms. All data is based on tracked studies from the Dry Fasting Club. All data is anonymized and aggregated from the participants, all of whom worked 1-on-1 with Yannick Wolfe.
The participant funnel. These 141 are the people who were medically cleared and chose to proceed. Over 100 others were assessed and advised not to attempt the protocol (see below). The 97% describes the 32 who completed the full protocol, T3 and hGH together. The largest group never needed that: they reached partial or full resolution on the deep fast and refeed alone.
Who the Scorch Protocol Is Not For
Over 100 people who came to Yannick were assessed and advised not to attempt the Scorch Protocol. The 141 tracked participants are those who were medically cleared and ready, which is part of why the outcomes look the way they do. This is careful screening, not cherry-picked data.
Key Findings
Key Symptom Improvement Data
Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Insomnia are among the most common and debilitating symptoms in Long Covid, ME/CFS, and autoimmune conditions. The data shows remarkable improvements through each phase of the protocol. Participants rated symptoms on a scale of 1-10, where 10 represents normal/healthy and 1 represents severe symptoms.
Before Scorch Protocol (141 Participants)
Before starting the protocol, most participants were experiencing severe symptoms:
- Fatigue: 27.7% rated themselves at level 1 (most severe), with 17% at level 5
- Brain Fog: 24.8% rated themselves at level 1, with 18.4% at level 5
- Insomnia: 25.5% rated themselves at level 1, with 16.3% at level 5
- Most participants scored 5 or lower across all three symptoms

Baseline: 141 participants before protocol
After Dry Fast + Water Fast: 10 Days Total (117 Participants)
The transformation after the full fasting block is remarkable:
- Fatigue: 31.6% reached level 10 (normal), with many others in the 8-9 range
- Brain Fog: 29.1% reached level 10, showing significant cognitive improvement
- Insomnia: 35% reached level 10, with 13.7% at level 9
- Many participants improved from the 5-9 range into level 10 (normal/healthy)
- Those who reached 10 did not need T3 Therapy: the preparation, dry fast, and refeeding were sufficient
- Participants who improved significantly often considered themselves healed after 1-2 months of refeeding
Most participants stopped here. They were healed enough on the fast and refeed alone, and this largest group tended to be the lower-severity patients, not the most chronically ill. Only the sicker, most-motivated minority continued to T3 and hGH (next section).

After 10-day fast (5 dry + 5 water): 117 participants
After T3 + hGH Therapy (32 Participants)
For those who continued to the full T3 and hGH protocol, the results are exceptional:
- Fatigue: 40.6% reached level 10, with 18.8% at level 8 and 12.5% at levels 7 and 9
- Brain Fog: 53.1% reached level 10 (over half achieved normal cognitive function)
- Insomnia: 56.3% reached level 10 (more than half achieved normal sleep)
- 97% of participants experienced significant improvement after T3 Therapy
- The combination of dry fasting + T3 therapy produced remarkable, consistent results in this cohort that neither intervention produced on its own

After T3 + hGH Therapy: 32 participants (97% success rate)

Important Notes About the Data
What This Means For You
The data shows that The Scorch Protocol offers real hope for those suffering from Long Covid, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions, and other chronic illnesses. The combination of:
- Strategic Preparation (ketosis, anti-parasitics, anti-fungals)
- 10-Day Fasting Block (5 Dry + 5 Water): intense autophagy and stem cell activation during the dry phase, followed by a supercharged water fast with T3 already running
- Proper Refeeding (stem cell proliferation and tissue regeneration)
- T3 Therapy (metabolic reset and energy restoration)
- hGH Therapy (for those who continue: directs the released stem cells into tissue rebuilding), plus symptom-specific add-ons where needed
...creates a powerful healing cascade that addresses the root causes of chronic illness, not just the symptoms.
