Happy Sunday peeps!

I’ve heard this SO MANY times throughout my career.

Usually it's related to a peptide someone used, but it could be anything.

Like supplements or fasting protocols I've recommended…

They *try it* - usually just for a few days - and then come screaming at me in all caps about how it just doesn’t work for them.

And of course, they provide no context.

No explanation about their specific situation or current health status (tell me the truth…are you a flaming dumpster fire 🔥? 😂)

Just a screeching, incoherent message expressing their frustration.

And the worst part is most of these people aren’t even clients or paying Fully Optimized Health members.

Just random service to self parasites hitting me up looking for free coaching (one more reason why I only work with SERIOUS CLIENTS).

But it does raise a very good question.

One requiring some nuance to answer:

What’s the deal with “non-responders”?

Is this even a thing?

Or is every single person who’s hitting me up doing something horribly, horribly wrong?

Let’s dive into this…

First things first, yes - “non-responders” are real.

As I’ve continually said, we’re all N of 1.

Every single one of us is biochemically unique.

Every single one of us has diet models that work particularly well, variations in anatomy and physiology that MUST be accounted for when training, and supplements and peptides that work better than others.

And at the far edges, certain people will find there are things that just don’t work for them.

Even I have certain peptides that don’t do anything for me.

HOWEVER…

Before you jump on the “I’m a non-responder” train, I want you to stop and take an honest look at your situation:

✅ Do you have the UNIVERSALS down pat?

Are you living insulin-controlled?

Are you performing cardio and resistance training regularly?

Are you sleeping 8 hours a night?

Are your hormones optimized?

✅ Have you truly given it enough time?

No, not “I tried it for 2 days and it didn’t work broooo!!”

Have you given it a good month?

If you haven’t, you must be more patient and stick with it longer.

But most importantly:

✅ Is it actually doing its job…and you just haven’t noticed?

Let me give you an example:

Take GLP-1 agonists as an example.

I promise you nearly every single person you read about complaining *how Semaglutide and Tirzepatide make them feel terrible* is eating like a dumpster fire.

What’s that?
​
Tirzepatide makes you wanna puke?

Great - it means it's WORKING.

And it’s telling you something.

DON’T shove 6 Taco Bell taco's down your throat at 11:00 pm and wash it down with Dorito's and Mountain Dew 😂

You should probably listen to your body and heed its advice.

Another example is Metformin.

Most of you know I’ve been recommending everyone get on metformin for 10+ years now.

It’s cheap, it’s readily available, it has a century of research behind it, and it WILL ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY extend your life and improve your health.

And yet, I get COUNTLESS men and women messaging me to rant and rave about how it made them feel terrible.

How it gave them gastrointestinal distress 🤢

My answer?

Great - it means it’s WORKING.

It means IT IS cleansing your microbiome of all the harmful critters you've got growing from the poor nutritional choices you've made over time.

And like Tirzepatide, the medicine is telling you something…

It’s telling you “oh my god, we’ve got a lotta work to do here!”

But let’s even take it beyond peptides and supplements into the realm of diet and lifestyle - specifically FASTING.

Back when I used to respond to emails from the public, not a day would go without someone hitting me up telling me "I Can't Fast".

They would get “hangry” if they went more than 12 hours without food.

My answer to them?

You guess it - IT’S WORKING 😁

The fact being hangry means all of the nasty sh*t in your gut is being taken to the cleaners.

That’s why it’s SCREAMING at you to stop.

DO NOT STOP!

Soldier on, and after a few weeks you’ll be wondering why you didn’t start fasting years ago.

In conclusion, if any of this is happening to you…

You are not a “non-responder” - you just have to increase your intestinal fortitude and suck it up:

✅ Keep taking the metformin

✅ Stick with the Tirzepatide (Click HERE to join my FREE Jay C Insiders Club for access, or loginHERE if you’re already a member)

✅ Power through the fasting (and consider picking up my 30 Days 2 Shredz Masterclass if you really want to kick your fasting into high gear and burn some serious fat)

✅ To really help with your fasting lifestyle, use Calocurb on your fasting days!

And remember, if you’re feeling like crap, it means these agents are talking to you.....

Please for the love of GOD….

Listen to what they have to say.

Love, light and radiant gratitude,

Jay C
