About Optimal Dose
I got tired of seeing the same recycled fitness advice with zero sources. Every Instagram infographic confidently stating “facts” that were either outdated, cherry-picked, or completely made up. Every supplement ad promising results that no study has ever demonstrated.
So I started reading the actual papers. Not the abstracts — the full studies. The meta-analyses. The systematic reviews. And I realized something: the truth is usually more nuanced, more practical, and more useful than the simplified rules the fitness industry sells you.
Optimal Dose is what came out of that. It's a place where fitness meets actual science, where popular advice gets fact-checked, and where the answer to “how much?” is always “here's what the evidence says.”
The name is the philosophy: there's an optimal dose for everything. Not the maximum. Not the minimum for survival. The dose that gives you the most return for the least cost — in training volume, nutrition, supplementation, and even information consumption.

What this is not
This isn't a coaching service. I'm not selling you a program (yet). I'm not a doctor, and nothing here is medical advice.
This is a place where fitness meets actual science, and bad advice gets called out. Where “because a jacked guy on TikTok said so” isn't good enough. Where we read the boring papers so you can get the interesting takeaways.
If you're looking for someone to confirm what you already believe, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for the truth — even when it's inconvenient — welcome in.
