EnhancedNatty phase 2: Nutrient Density on Overdrive
Why Mega-Dosing the Right Foods Beats Supplements for Fixing Hormones, Reversing Deficiencies, and Dominating Inflammation
Once you’ve built your battleship, it’s time to load the cannons.
Phase 1 gave your body the foundation — real food, better digestion, and reduced inflammation.
Phase 2 is where we start pushing the gas pedal by mega-dosing the right foods in the right quantities, paired with proper testing to unlock superphysiological results.
Why Mega-Dose Foods (Not Supplements)
Because food is the complete package.
Supplements aren’t.
Our goal in Phase 2 is to fix nutritional deficiencies and crush inflammation, and that requires more than just isolated nutrients.
Food delivers:
Highly bioavailable vitamins & minerals
Active, usable forms (e.g. retinol, methylfolate)
Built-in cofactors for absorption and synergy
Antioxidants like taurine, flavonoids, polyphenols
Natural nutrient ratios that the body recognizes
100g of liver or 2L of milk will do more for your thyroid and testosterone than any multivitamin stack.
Food Has Built-in Safety Signals
When your body needs more, food tastes amazing.
When you’ve had enough, it doesn’t.
Try eating 500g of liver — you’ll know when to stop.
Supplements bypass this feedback.
And when you take too much? You don’t feel it… until symptoms show up.
Supplements Can Backfire
High-dose isolated nutrients can easily throw the system off:
Zinc → depletes copper
Vitamin D → needs A and K2
Iron → fuels oxidative stress
Folic acid → messes with methylation
B1 overload → oxidative damage
Taurine mega-dosing → can lower T
Your body isn’t a chemistry set — it’s a living system.
Too much of one thing = imbalance somewhere else.
Mega-Dosing Food Works Faster
When your body is starving for a nutrient, and you give it in a form it knows, things change fast:
Cold hands: gone in 1 week
Blood glucose: drops in 5 days
Libido, energy, mood: bounce back in a week
Inflammation: visibly down in 1–2 weeks
But only if the nutrient comes from complete foods.
Supplements Miss the Root
You could take 20 supplements and still miss the mark.
Or… you could mega-dose 1–2 TestoSuperFoods and get 10x the results.
Real food corrects deficiencies and removes the inflammatory burden.
The Takeaway
Mega-dosing food gives you:
The right nutrients
In the right form
With all the right cofactors
In a ratio your body understands
You’ll never get that from a capsule.
That’s why Phase 2 isn’t about stacking supplements.
It’s about eating with intention — more of the foods that move the needle.
But, sometimes this adaptation fails.
Nutrient absorption or cellular uptake might be impaired. Certain genetic mutations can block conversion or transport.
And some conditions — like hemochromatosis — do the opposite: they increase uptake even when there’s excess.
Which is why it’s important to mega-dose AND test (we’ll get to that later).
Once you dial that in?
Supplements become optional.
Not essential.
The Problem with Testing
Testing is great, but it has its limits. It can tell you something is wrong, but not why. Then it’s your job (or mine if you’d like me to help you) to figure out why that is so that you can follow the right strategy.
And most often, mega-dosing the right food is the way to go.
No test will tell you that you’ll feel better from eating more beef.
Or that 9 egg yolks will improve your skin and hair.
Or that 5L of milk will normalize your cholesterol and bring up your T3.
The only way to know is to test it on yourself, through proper mega-dosing experiments.
That’s what Phase 2 is all about:
Find the food you respond to best
Find the quantity that works for you
Learn what to increase, decrease, or eliminate
This is how I found my personal ratios.
It’s also how I’ve helped clients reverse hypothyroid symptoms, boost T3, increase testosterone, and drop inflammation in record time — without pills or guesswork.
Testing is still extremely important in this phase. In this article, I explain how to do proper testing, the EnhancedNatty way.
Doing these experiments goes hand in hand with proper testing. Subjective feelings are all good and well, but some people feel great until they have a heart attack. Be sure to test.
Before jumping into phase 2, make sure you’ve mastered and nailed down phase 1.
