Week 12: Savagery is a Return to Order
You didn’t just survive this. You rewrote the code.
Week 12 is not a finish line.
It’s a threshold.
You have proven that you don’t need permission to be well.
You have remembered what it means to live in rhythm.
You have become a decentralized, self-regulating, mitochondrially intelligent being.
Now you get to decide: how deep will you go?
Your Commitments This Week:
You’ve made it to the twelfth week.
That means you’ve already done the hard thing: you’ve confronted your biology. You’ve seen how disconnected the modern world is from nature’s design. And now, you've lived 84 days in defiance of that machine.
You’ve reclaimed the morning sun.
You’ve begun eating like an animal again.
You’ve taught your nervous system that cold is power.
You’ve moved your body like it was designed—free, rotational, barefoot.
You’ve stared into the artificial night and turned it off.
This final week is not about doing more. It’s about stepping fully into the new code.
This is what your life now looks like:
– You wake with the sun, without an alarm. The light guides your morning—not dopamine, not deadlines.
– You eat as the light commands. No food after dark. High protein in the morning. Seasonal carbs only.
– You chase the elements. Your skin touches earth, sun, wind, and cold every single day.
– You move like a sovereign. There’s no longer “working out”—only embodied expression.
– You walk away from screens with ease. You’ve felt the cost of artificial light—and the power of darkness.
– You’re not inflamed, addicted, swollen, or scared anymore. You’re not begging a system to save you.
– You are a decentralized human again.
This week, you don’t track metrics—you feel the truth.
You live the day as ritual.
You sleep like a mammal in a cave.
You eat like your ancestors did.
You move like a child in the wild.
You let the cold break you open and make you strong.
You no longer ask: “What do I need to fix?”
You now ask: “What more am I capable of?”
You will face Mother Nature with a smile and a nod this week in the "Return to Order", which you can find at the bottom of these commitments.
Light
🌅 You rise with the sun—eyes, skin, and soul exposed.
🌞 You log 60–90 minutes of afternoon sun daily, rain or shine. The solar callus is in progress. You now know when UV peaks, when to layer, and when to strip down and soak in the code.
🌇 After sunset, your home enters a circadian cave: no overheads, no blue, no glare, no compromise.
Movement
🏃♂️ You move daily and dynamically.
– Crawling, sprinting, flowing, hanging, climbing.
– Your kettlebell is in hand, or your body is moving like one.
– You are now playful and explosive. Your fascia is rehydrated. Your posture—rewilded.
Cold
🧊 Cold is no longer a challenge—it’s your nervous system reset.
– You cold shower or plunge daily.
– When near nature, you immerse.
– No whining. No “tomorrow.” You chase discomfort like it's the portal it is.
Food
🥩 You eat two meals per day, dialed to your season, your light, and your workload.
– Morning protein is sacred.
– No food past dark.
– You are connected to your local food web, and when it’s not available, you fast or simplify.
– Fat is fuel. Carbs are earned. You now know the difference.
Circadian / EMF
📴 No phones at night. No WiFi on while sleeping.
– You’ve now killed your routers, dimmed your home, cut the noise.
– Your sleep zone is pure—no screen light, no EMF haze, no mindless scroll.
🛏️ Your bedroom is a sanctuary: cold, dark, still, quiet, safe.
Meditation / Presence
🧘♂️ Continue to build your meditation practice from last week and keep it for life. This is powerful, mind-altering stuff.
The Return to Order
This is your Rite of Passage. Your graduation from the program. Your certificate of achievement. You'll go out into nature and face her with greater awe and ability than ever before. Enjoy this, revel in your victory.
You will choose an outdoor adventure that requires a long hike and a source of water. The location is irrelevant, the practice is reverent.
Sunrise Initiation: Begin at dawn. See your sunrise as usual. Feel the gratitude of another day. Eat the hunter's breakfast; large, protein filled and filling. Leave your phone and distractions. Bring shoes but plan to be barefoot, grounded, eyes on the horizon. Bring no food, only water.
The Walk: A long hike in nature — minimum 4 hours, ideally all day. Let the sun and earth set your rhythm.
The Sprint: End your walk with all-out sprints. Push your body like it’s meant to be pushed: fast, explosive, unrestrained.
The Cold Immersion: Enter natural water. Lake, ocean, river, whatever you have. Stay until discomfort transforms into power. Breathe steady, extend the exhale. Practice everything that brought you to this moment. Leave renewed.
The Fire: Close with firelight. A bonfire if feasible and safe, or a simple flame if not. Sit in silence. Meditate. Reflect on what you’ve killed, and what you’ve rebuilt.
You made it. You’re here. Congratulations.
Track Your Rhythm:
✅ Wake with sunrise, no alarm
✅ 90 minutes afternoon sun (solar callus + D3)
✅ Daily cold exposure (shower or wild water)
✅ 2 meals/day, no food past dark

Savage is not reckless. Savage is honest. Savage is Nature.
“I don’t recognize the person I was 12 weeks ago. And I don’t want to. That guy was tired and lost. This is awesome!"
—Chris, 39, Vancouver
Next Chapter: The Savage Map
Twelve weeks ago, you were tired. Foggy. Inflamed. Lost.
Now, you’ve built your biological foundation. But this is only Phase One.
If you’re ready to live even louder—beyond the basics of health and into territory like:
– Tactical sun and cold warfare
– Quantum movement
– Seasonal feasting and scarcity
– The deep rewiring of sexuality, fire, power, and purpose
– Building a decentralized household and masculine nervous system
...then it’s time for the Savage Map.
Coming soon. You’ll get first access.
For now: stand tall. You’ve rebuilt your nature.
Welcome to the next tier of freedom.
