The Fellows of the Academy

Tradition is a hypothesis.
We test it.

How people ate, fasted, moved and slept for most of human history, examined with the methods of modern science. We keep what holds up and say so plainly when it doesn't.

Proven first in Parkinson's

We started with the hardest case on purpose. People living with Parkinson's notice every bad night, every skipped walk, every meal that sits wrong. If a practice helps them get through the week stronger and steadier, it's worth teaching. If it doesn't, we drop it.

That testing happened at Genesis Protocol, where members log fasting hours, ketone strips, sleep and training, and show up to live classes several times a week. The Academy takes what held up there and teaches it to coaches, caregivers and practitioners across the US.

Five areas of study

  1. Ancestral Bioavailable Nutrients. What the body can actually absorb from meat, fat and organs, and why the label number isn't the same as what you get.
  2. Connected Circadian Practices. Morning light, dark nights and meal timing as the signals that set your internal clock.
  3. Struggle Reward Pathways. Our flagship. How chosen effort and delayed reward retrain motivation.
  4. Autophagy and Lipid Interchange. Fasting past ketosis, counted by the hour and banked on a ledger that never resets.
  5. Optimal Body Composition and Hormonal Practices. Muscle, fat and the hormones that move between them, and how to measure progress honestly.

A credential with a public registry

Practitioners who finish all five courses and pass the assessment are listed on the AAAH Registry, where anyone can check their status. It's a private credential issued by the Academy. It is not a medical license, and our practitioners coach alongside a person's doctors, not in place of them.
