If you've experimented with supplements or recovery protocols and struggled to determine what's actually working versus what's just wishful thinking...

Learn how the engineering concept of Confounding Variables reveals why most self-experiments fail to give clear answers – and how to design better ones.

Using my real experience with BPC-157 for shoulder recovery as a case study, discover why changing multiple factors at once creates a "messy dataset" that can mask or amplify results.

Whether you're evaluating a supplement, modifying your training, or testing any health intervention, understanding this framework will transform how you approach self-experimentation.

Main Takeaways:

• Why controlling variables matters for supplement evaluation
• How diet changes can mask or amplify recovery results
• The hidden benefit of "messy" real-world experiments
• A systematic approach to learning from imperfect data

Episodes Mentioned:

• Testosterone, Hormone Therapy, and Peptides for Health and Longevity with Dr. Rand McClain
• Peptides, Hormone Therapy, Medical Aesthetics, and Personalized Wellness with Kristin Gemme
