Protocol / Dashboard
Dashboard
A lightweight weekly experiment board: clear targets, daily observations, measurement plans, and visually obvious adherence.
Weekly target KSM-66 + Tongkat continuation Week 2 experiment recorded
Daily observations 5/7 71% recorded, 71% hit recorded
Body signal 5 days logged Anxiety, sleep, vitals, grip, peak flow, training, skin recorded
Weekly verdict Pending Keep, modify, or discard pending
Daily Observation Fields
| Signal | Current | Cadence | Interpretation note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Did I do the target? | 5/7 | Daily | Hit, partial, miss, or pending. Adherence comes before interpretation. |
| Dose / timing | 5 updates | Per dose | Exact supplement, dose, time, AM/PM, with food, and missed doses. |
| Anxiety / calm | 5 updates | Daily | Manual 1-10 scores plus a short note about stress context. |
| Vitals / grip / peak flow | 5 updates | Daily if measured | SpO2/pulse, seated blood pressure/pulse, grip strength, peak flow, and sleep HR/respiration range. |
| Training response | 5 updates | Daily | Workout quality, RPE, best set, new maxes, pump, soreness, unusual fatigue. |
| Appearance / side effects | 10 updates | Daily | Skin, puffiness, under-eyes, GI, headache, jitteriness, sleep disruption. |
| Confounders | 5 updates | Daily | Stress, illness, caffeine, pre-workout, late meals, hard workouts, bad data. |
Materials / Setup
| Item | Status | Timing | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSM-66 ashwagandha | ordered | Late April Amazon order | Week 1 primary material. |
| Tongkat Ali | ordered | Late April Amazon order | Week 1 primary material. |
| Structured daily observation template | active | Daily | Keeps adherence, subjective signals, side effects, and confounders comparable. |
| Future experiment materials | ordered | Ordered May 5 | Required and optional queue materials are in the pipeline; mark owned when they arrive. |
Measurement Plans
7 markers Core Daily Markers Collected every week so different experiments can be compared against the same body-state baseline. 6 markers Supplement / Compound Tests Tracks dose, timing, intended effect, side effects, and visible/body signals without pretending subjective changes prove causality. 8 markers Home Measurement Lab Non-invasive home tests and scan-like captures that make ambitious experiments measurable without pretending they are clinical diagnostics. 6 markers Strength / Hypertrophy Tests Captures whether a training experiment changes output, effort, soreness, and recovery instead of subjective impressions alone. 6 markers Sleep / Recovery Tests Separates sleep opportunity from actual sleep and watches next-day performance rather than one wearable score. 6 markers Nutrition / Meal-Timing Tests Tracks intake patterns, satiety, digestion, training output, and sleep without turning the log into a diet narrative. 6 markers Mobility / Pain / Posture Tests Makes stretching, neck work, mobility drills, and pain experiments measurable enough to keep or discard. 6 markers Skin / Appearance Markers Keeps visible changes trackable without turning the project into progress-photo theater. 6 markers Looks / Structure Experiments Handles bounded appearance experiments such as hard gum, jaw/neck work, posture, or face/appearance routines while watching for overuse. 6 markers Endurance / Cardio Tests Tracks aerobic output, fatigue cost, and recovery around running or conditioning experiments. 6 markers Cognition / Mood / Output Tests Measures whether an experiment changes work output, focus, emotional tone, and decision quality.
