GLUCENOVA
You're in

Here's your protocol.

All four pillars. Start with the one in your hand.

The full designed version is on its way to your inbox. Everything you need to begin is on this page.

Pillar One — already yours

The bottle in your hand.

You bought the piece that can't be improvised. Protein, training and sleep can be built out of things you already own. A standardized ingredient at the dose the research actually used cannot be.

Pillar One — Metabolic support

Glucenova

One ingredient: 250 mg of eriocitrin, from 357 mg of Eriomin® — 78% above the dose used in the studies, printed on the panel exactly as it sits in the capsule. No blend, no rounding, nothing riding along to pad the label.*

What to do

Two capsules daily, before your biggest meal. Same time every day. That is the entire instruction.

Eriomin® is the subject of published human clinical trials. This is the pillar that doesn't ask you to have a good week — only a consistent one.*

Do this today — five minutes

Write down four numbers.

This is the step almost everyone skips, and it's the one that decides whether any of this feels worth it in three months. You cannot see progress you never measured. Change over ninety days is gradual enough to be invisible from the inside — the only way to catch it is to have written down where you started.

Your Day 0 baseline

Phone notes, paper, anywhere. Just make it exist.
1
WaistMeasured at the navel, first thing in the morning, before eating. Same spot every time.
2
Energy, 1–10How you'd rate a typical day this week. One number, no overthinking.
3
SleepYour honest average hours per night over the last week.
4
ProteinA rough estimate of what you eat in a normal day. A guess is fine — it only has to be your guess, measured the same way later.
Then set three reminders: day 30, day 60, day 90. Same four numbers, same conditions. That's your whole tracking system.
Pillars two, three and four

What the bottle unlocks.

After significant weight loss the body pushes back. Appetite signaling shifts. Energy expenditure settles below what your size would predict. Lean mass takes a real hit — a meaningful share of what comes off isn't fat at all. These changes are measurable, they're documented, and they persist long after the loss is over.

That was never a character problem. It's physiology — and physiology responds to a plan.

Almost nobody gets handed that plan. Here it is. Three pillars, each with the best evidence behind it for this exact stretch, and each with one thing to actually do.

Pillar Two

Protein

The most-studied lever there is for holding onto what you kept. Protein is what tells the body to preserve muscle while everything else is adjusting downward — and muscle is what keeps your daily energy burn from sliding further than it has to.

What to do

Aim for roughly 0.6–0.7 g per pound of body weight per day (about 1.2–1.6 g per kg). If that sounds like a lot, start with one change: 30 g at breakfast. It's the single highest-leverage meal, and it's the one most people skip entirely.

Across 24 controlled trials, higher-protein eating during energy restriction preserved roughly half a kilo more fat-free mass and about 140 more calories per day of resting energy expenditure than standard-protein eating. If you have kidney concerns, clear the target with your doctor first.

Pillar Three

Resistance

The pillar almost everyone skips, because it never feels urgent — until the window has already closed. Protein tells the body to keep muscle. Resistance training is the signal that gives it a reason to.

What to do

Two to three sessions a week. Full body. Add a little load or a little difficulty each week. It doesn't need a gym — bands and bodyweight count. The only variable that matters is that it gets progressively harder.

In a review of 114 trials covering more than 4,000 people, resistance training combined with reduced intake produced the largest reduction in fat mass of any approach studied — and lean mass was maintained rather than lost.

Pillar Four

Sleep

The quietest pillar and the one that decides how well the other three land. Short sleep doesn't just make a day harder — it changes what your body does with the food you eat and where it takes weight from.

What to do

Seven to nine hours. If that's out of reach right now, change one thing instead: a consistent wake time, seven days a week. It's the cheapest lever here and it moves the most.

In a controlled trial, extending sleep by about 1.2 hours a night reduced daily energy intake by roughly 270 calories with no change in energy expenditure. In another, short sleep during reduced intake shifted losses away from fat and toward lean tissue.

Why it exists

I built this for myself first.

A while back, I went on a GLP-1.

It worked. The visceral belly fat I'd been trying to lose for years — years — finally came off, and for the first time in a long time I caught my reflection and actually liked what I saw.

And then I started counting down.

Because I'd read the stories. I knew what was supposed to happen next. Everybody talks about the part where the weight comes off. Almost nobody talks about the part that comes after — where your appetite comes back. Not the way it used to be. Louder. Hungrier. Like it had been sitting in the next room the whole time, waiting for the door to open.

I was scared I'd gain it back. I had worked too hard for that to be the ending.

So I went looking for something — anything — that would support my body's own GLP-1, so I wouldn't walk into that stretch with nothing in my corner.

What I kept running into was a word: eriocitrin. I chased it into the clinical literature and found published human trials on it.

I thought: perfect. I'll just go buy that.

Except I couldn't. Every product I found had it buried inside a "proprietary blend" — a dozen ingredients, no amounts disclosed, and when you worked out what was realistically in there, it was a rounding error. Just enough to put the word on the label. Nowhere near enough to matter.

That's the moment I stopped shopping and started building.

Glucenova is one ingredient, at 357 mg per serving, using Eriomin® — the standardized extract the research was actually conducted on. The dose is on the label because I think you deserve to see it.

Then I looked up and realized how many people are standing exactly where I was standing — proud of what they'd done, and quietly worried about losing it. The protocol on this page is everything I wish someone had handed me on day one.

So I made it.

What's ahead

Your next ninety days.

This isn't a stimulant and it was never meant to feel like one. It compounds — quietly, day over day. Here's the shape of it.

Weeks 1–3
Foundation. Nothing dramatic here, and nothing is supposed to be. You're building the habit; all four pillars are getting switched on. The only job is not missing days.
Weeks 4–8
The build. Where consistency starts to matter more than intensity. This is also where most people quietly drop pillars two and three — we'll be there that week.
Weeks 9–12
The window. Twelve weeks is the stretch the published research on this ingredient measured. It's also long enough for the other three pillars to have changed something you can see.
Day 90 →
Not a finish line. It's where the researchers stopped measuring — not where the protocol stops working. Pull out your four numbers and compare.
One bottle is 30 days.
The protocol runs 90.
Worth sorting out now rather than on day 28. Running out halfway is the one thing that undoes the work.

Watch your inbox

You won't be doing this alone, and you won't be guessing.

Every week for the next twelve weeks I'll send you a short note — which pillar matters most right now, what's happening underneath, and the one small thing that makes the biggest difference at that specific point. If you gave us your number, a quick text lands alongside it.

Your first one arrives in seven days. Until then: write down your four numbers, take two capsules, and pick which of pillars two, three or four you're starting with.

Any question at all — about the ingredient, the research, the protocol, or anything I haven't covered — write to me. It reaches my actual inbox and I answer it myself.
