Overview

This protocol turns a broad recovery goal into a repeatable sequence. The point is not to add complexity; it is to make the behavior easy to run the same way every time, then let the consistency compound.

Expected benefit

Improved recovery, reduced inflammation, increased stress tolerance, and a daily practice of choosing discomfort over comfort.

How to think about it

Run it as written for the first block, then adjust one variable at a time. The useful signal comes from repeating the same inputs long enough to see what actually changes.
