Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window

Day 1 of 90

| October 11, 2025 |

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology  

Two levers move fast in the 90-day window: biochemistry and body clocks. A single Kick-off Lab Day finds fixable roadblocks (iron, vitamin D, glycemia, thyroid) that directly alter egg competence, endometrial receptivity, and sperm DNA integrity. Locking a 10:00 PM–6:00 AM sleep schedule then synchronizes hormones and gamete maturation to raise fecundability.

🧬 Protocol Drop  

Today’s Allopathic Protocol:
This morning, draw CBC, fasting glucose + HbA1c, 25-OH-D, TSH±fT4±TPOAb, AMH; schedule a semen analysis after 2–3 days abstinence. While awaiting results, start cholecalciferol 2,000 IU with breakfast (safe under UL) and book a 4–6 week lab re-check.

Today’s Holistic Protocol:
For the next 90 days, lock 10:00 PM–6:00 AM sleep (±30 min). From 8:00 PM, keep light ≤30 lux and screens off; get 10–30 min outdoor light within 30 min of waking; finish dinner ≥3 h before bed. If you struggle to shift earlier, use melatonin 0.3–1 mg 3–5 h before bedtime for two weeks alongside evening dim light.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH): A blood test that estimates your pool of growing follicles. It helps plan timelines or stimulation response for IVF, but it doesn’t predict your chance of conceiving naturally this month.
