COMBAT RECOVERY
PROTOCOL.
A systematic approach to mitigating systemic inflammation, accelerating soft tissue repair, and protecting neurological function after high-impact trauma.
THE COST OF IMPACT.
Combat sports place a unique load on human biology. It's not just muscular fatigue; it's systemic trauma.
The impact forces absorbed during training and competition trigger a cascade of inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP) and oxidative stress that can linger for days, impairing cognitive function and slowing reaction times.
Standard recovery methods (ice, rest) are insufficient. To return to baseline faster, you must intervene at the cellular level.
Key Recovery Targets
Systemic Inflammation
Rapidly downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Neurological Stress
Replenishing brain energy stores depleted by intense focus and impact.
Central Nervous System (CNS)
Restoring sympathetic/parasympathetic balance for sleep.
THE METABOLIC BASELINE
Supplements cannot fix a broken diet. This is the non-negotiable foundation before any protocol.
135g Protein
Why: Amino acids are the building blocks of neurotransmitters and tissue repair. Below this threshold, your body enters a catabolic state, breaking down its own tissue for fuel.
Target Sources:
Grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, eggs, high-quality whey isolate.
50% Healthy Fats
Why: Your brain is 60% fat. High-quality lipids are essential for myelination (nerve insulation) and hormonal production (testosterone/estrogen).
Target Sources:
Avocado, olive oil, macadamia nuts, fatty fish (EPA/DHA).
Micronutrient Density
Why: Vitamins and minerals are cofactors for every enzymatic reaction in your body. Deficiencies create bottlenecks in energy production and recovery.
Target Sources:
Organ meats, leafy greens, colorful vegetables, bone broth.
Electrolyte Balance
Why: Sodium, potassium, and magnesium regulate nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Imbalances cause cramping, fatigue, and impaired cognition.
Target Sources:
Sea salt, coconut water, potassium-rich foods, magnesium supplements.
"Get the foundation right first. No supplement stack can compensate for chronic under-eating, dehydration, or micronutrient deficiency."
THE OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY
Based on clinical studies involving elite athletes and impact recovery.
Neuro-Protection
Objective: Saturate brain creatine stores to buffer against impact-related energy crisis.
Recommendation
5g Creatine Monohydrate
Daily, consistent intake.
Inflammation Control
Objective: Modulate the inflammatory response without blunting adaptation.
Recommendation
2500mg EPA/DHA Omega-3s
High dose for acute recovery.
Deep Sleep Repair
Objective: Maximize Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) for hormonal optimization (GH release).
Recommendation
400mg Magnesium Bisglycinate
45 mins before sleep.
FIELD REPORTS
Verified feedback from athletes using The Protocol during active fight camps.
"The brain fog usually hits me hard around week 6 of camp. Since starting the neuro-protection phase, I'm staying sharp through the final sparring sessions. My reaction time hasn't dipped."
Pro MMA Fighter
Lightweight Division
"Recovery from hard rolling used to take me two full days. The inflammation control protocol has cut that in half. I'm back on the mats the next morning without that deep systemic ache."
BJJ Black Belt
International Competitor
"Sleep is the first thing to go when I'm cutting weight. The deep sleep stack keeps me getting 7+ hours of quality rest even when my calories are low. It's a game changer for recovery."
