In Ketone Power, Cristi Vlad, self-experimenter and avid researcher outlines a common denominator in terms of nutrition, health, and physical performance. After all, human DNA is 99% exactly the same. So, there should be a prescription (Rx) that should work for the majority of us. Cristi himself, fed up with not being able to lose the last few pounds of his belly fat, has started studying and experimenting with ketogenic nutrition and ketosis. Ketosis is the metabolic state where your body uses fat and ketone bodies (by-products of fat) as a main source of fuel and it is achieved by...

T-R(x) follows the journey of Cristi Vlad on increasing his testosterone levels (over a 6-months period) through different natural interventions, such as: 1. Well formulated Very-Low-Carb-Low-Calorie-Ketogenic nutrition (without carb-loading) 2. Heavy Lifting Protocol + HIIT Protocol 3. Intermittent Fasting 4. Cold Thermogenesis (you will hate it) 5. Supplementation 6. Fixing the circadian clock 7. Lowering exposure to non-native EMF 8. No masturbation (sex is allowed) 9. Thoughts on alcohol consumption He also tells you how the advent of technology impacted the male status over the past 100...

In a modern world where it's considered normal to consume 3 meals and additional snacks everyday (otherwise you will get sick), fasting can be considered an outrageous and even dangerous practice. One of the biggest fears of fasting is the fear hunger, the false hunger that most people are afraid of while depleting their glycogen stores (the body sugar storage). Fasting has often been associated with religious customs. It is time to define a line between the two. In Periodic Fasting, I embark on a timeless journey from the very beginning of life on Earth, through early human societies,...

Nutritional ketosis is the metabolic state where your body's primary source of fuel is derived from fat. Intermittent fasting is a meal timing strategy in which you restrict your food intake to a certain timeframe everyday. If implemented appropriately, the efficiency of these two combined is unimaginable. Cristi has been using ketosis since September 2013. In 2 months, he reached his maintenance weight. In January 2014 he started practicing intermittent fasting everyday along with his long-term approach of ketosis. He's been in maintenance ever since. Two of his former books are dedicated to...

Living systems maintain biologic equilibrium, homeostasis, by actively regulating different variables to remain within a certain range. Endogenous and exogenous stressors perturb homeostasis. The organism responds adaptively, to restore its equilibrium. This book explores the potential use of stressors to improve the adaptive capacity of organisms and expand their functional homeodynamic space. These endogenous (from within the body) and exogenous (environmental) stressors can be applied for: 1. Exercise Physiology (emphasis on hypergravity and resistance training) 2. Dietary Stress (emphasis...
