Rebuilding After Collapse

This is the topic I didn't learn from a textbook — I lived it. From 105 kg, exhausted and running on stress hormones, back to a body that works with me. Not through harder discipline, but through the right order: remove the metabolic stress, stabilize, then expand. If you're starting from the bottom, this is your room.

The Metabolic Recovery Framework — three stages

Remove metabolic stress. Before adding anything, stop the bleeding — the load, the stimulants, the punishing protocols that keep the system in emergency mode.
Stabilize. Steady meals, steady sleep anchors, steady rhythms. The body only releases what it no longer needs to defend.
Expand flexibility. Only now: fasting windows, training progression, stretch goals. Capacity first — then challenge.
