Episode 020 - Before You Fast, Detox, or Biohack—Do This First
Description
Going harder isn’t the answer—going in the right order is.
In this episode, Brandon explains why fasting, detox protocols, and popular biohacks backfire when stacked on an unstable system, and how to use The Metabolic Compass to build readiness first so those tools finally work.
You’ll learn:
• The cost of starting in the wrong place (why stress before safety stalls progress)
• The real purpose of biohacking (signal-first, not stack-first)
• Why Nurture comes first (gut–liver axis, inflammation, genomic stability)
• Signals, not stacks—how repetition creates adaptation
• Red flags that mean “not yet” for fasting/detox (sleep, wired-but-tired, gut issues, low AM appetite)
• The right sequence for YOU using the Drift Quiz + Compass Reset
• The 3 Compass Check questions to ask before any intervention
Note: if mornings are hard, a protein shake with **BIOMEnd® + fiber** is a strong option—and aim to **eat before caffeine** to protect CAR, mood, and glycemic control.
