Episode 027 - The Strengthen Reset: Rebuild Repair, Defense, and Resilience
Description
Feeling slower to heal, more fragile, or less responsive to training—even with ‘normal’ labs? You might be in **Strength Drift**.
In this episode, Brandon lays out **The Strengthen Reset**—how to rebuild repair, defense, and resilience systems so your body can adapt again. We cover the three hallmarks that quietly erode strength (telomere attrition, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion), the nutrients that restore signal and structure (omega-3s, collagen+glycine, creatine, Urolithin A, senolytics), movement that **rebuilds** instead of breaks, and the sleep/circadian and dopamine tools that make strength stick.
What we cover:
• Strength is more than muscle: the signals behind resilience
• 3 hallmarks behind strength loss: telomeres, senescence, stem cells
• Nutritional tools that matter: omega-3s, collagen+glycine, creatine, Urolithin A, quercetin/fisetin (pulsed)
• Regenerative training: tempo work, eccentric focus, movement snacks, readiness
• Sleep & circadian alignment: deep sleep, wind-down rituals, caffeine timing
• Emotional burnout & motivation: restoring dopamine and identity
• The 2-Week Strength Reset—AM anchor → midday micro-wins → PM recovery
