Week 6: Carve Your Evening

You're no longer “doing the protocol.” You're living it.

By Week 6, the body has started remembering what the mind forgot: we are light-fed, electron-powered beings.

This is the week we take that understanding from theory to environment. You now begin shaping your home and habits around the primal code—not the convenience of artificial life.

Your job now is to protect the signal.

Your Commitments This Week:

You'll notice how often I say "add" here. That means we are layering. You are not allowed to forget about the previous weeks, those habits become lifelong.

Light
🌅 You are now outside at sunrise, taking in as much light as your day allows. You feel its importance, you feel the difference all day long when you can take more time for this ritual.

🌞 Now, you are going to start to prioritize afternoon sun. We are going to start building that vitamin D trigger. We are going to build what is called the solar callus, meaning your ability to be outside without sunburn.

-Choose an activity you love to do or need to do outside. For many, this includes gardening, watering, exercising or just sitting on the couch outside. Purposely spend more time OUTSIDE. Aim for an hour, with 30 minutes being minimum. Remember that all seasons offer their benefit. Sunburn is not a concern in winter, but instead you are increasing your cold exposure.

-Over time, I want you to evaluate all of your daily activities and which of them can actually be performed outside. For many of us, we are able to spend multiple hours outside, we just do not allow ourselves to believe this.

Savage Challenge → One full day outdoors for 4+ hours — work, eat and move outside.

Movement
🚶 I want you to continue to push your limits here. Do what feels funny, uncomfortable or even silly. If you feel like skipping down the road, absolutely do that. Make movement play again. Kids get this right, then as adults that part of us slowly gets killed. Revive it.

Savage Challenge → Dance, skip, or move playfully for 20 minutes outside (embrace kid like behavior).

Cold
❄️ Continue working up to a full cold shower, you're going to be amazed how invigorating it feels. For this week, I want you to spend 10 minutes in a natural body of water. In summer, this is an easy and refreshing task. In winter, its a challenge!

Savage Challenge → Immersion in natural water until shivering, no excuses, just primal torture :)

Food
🥕 Steady food rhythm should be in place by this point. You are eating breakfast, lots of protein. You are eating seasonal carbs (keeping them under around 50 grams during this initial 12 weeks). You are learning what grows in your area and when. You are not snacking, not consuming sugar and drinking nothing but water.

🍽 Keep working toward 2 meals per day. This takes time!

Savage Challenge → 48 hours without any processed food — only whole, local items.

Circadian
💡 Home light environment should be absolutely on point by now.

-If you haven't changed out your lightbulbs to red and incandescent, aren't reading with only red lights, haven't changed your iPhone over to the red screen trick and aren't wearing pajamas and blue light blockers while watching a movie, what are you waiting for?! Lets do this, go all in!

Savage Challenge → Weekend Digital Fast: 24 hours with zero screens, WiFi off.

Why This Matters

This week changes your field.

Your home and your body begin broadcasting the same frequency—one aligned with solar cues, darkness, and the end of artificial nonsense.

Every photon counts. Every unnatural input counts.
If you’ve ever wondered why your energy rises just after dawn, or why a sunset walk feels sacred—it’s because those signals are programming your mitochondria in real time.

Track Your Rhythm:

✅ Sunrise is a ritual that you wouldn't give up
✅ Red light bulbs installed, your home feels like a cozy cave
✅ Blue blockers worn after sunset
✅ No food after sunset, no snacks
✅ Farmers market feels comfortable, you're understanding the nature of your zip code
✅ Cold shower and outdoor immersion

If you don't control your light, you don’t control your life.

I imagine by now, you are beginning to feel and understand this concept thoroughly.
