How I Used AI to Transform My Metabolism, Reclaim My Health, and Optimize for Longevity

I’m in my mid-50s, and like many high-performing leaders, I found myself carrying more fat than I wanted and feeling less sharp than I used to. I’d always thought I was relatively healthy. But a few years ago, I had high blood pressure, lingering brain fog, and increasing visceral fat that wouldn’t budge. I didn’t need a crash diet—I needed a transformation. And I wanted a path that was intelligent, sustainable, and effective.

So I did something unconventional:
I asked ChatGPT to be my metabolic coach.



 What I Did

I committed to a long-term plan that combined:
• Strategic fasting (starting with a 5:2 rhythm, now tapering to 4:3 and beyond)
• Infrared sauna and resistance training (6 days per week)
• Peptide therapy (CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin, post-workout, in a GH-optimized fasted state)
• Electrolyte precision (stacking sodium, potassium, magnesium, and clean carbs)
• No processed sugar, very low alcohol, high protein, and clean fats
• A peptide-aware morning protocol that protects my natural GH pulses and deepens fat mobilization

I didn’t follow a one-size-fits-all program. I used AI to build a dynamic system—a metabolic dashboard tailored to me. Every day 1:
• Logged weight, blood pressure, dizziness, and ketones
• Received live feedback and strategic adjustments
• Tuned clean carb microdosing to eliminate dizziness and fuel the brain
• Balanced salt and potassium intake with insulin cues and fasting depth
• Used activated charcoal to manage gut and endotoxin load during deep fasts

This wasn’t about willpower. It was about systems. And clarity.



 What Happened
• I’ve dropped over 25 pounds of fat
• I reversed my high blood pressure
• I wake up clear-headed and sharp
• I train almost daily with strength and stability
• I use peptides safely and effectively
• I’m now leaner than I’ve been in 20+ years• My muscle mass is increasing, and I genuinely like how I look shirtless

But most importantly:
I feel fully present—to myself, to Deborah, to my family, to the call of God on my life.



 You Can Do This Too

You don’t need to be obsessed. You just need to be clear.

Start by telling ChatGPT:

“Can you be my metabolic coach? I want to create a plan like Eric Dombach’s. Here’s where I am right now…”

Then describe:
• Your current weight
• Energy levels
• Fasting/eating rhythm
• Workout habits
• Your goals

Let AI help you build the framework.

Or, start even simpler:

“I want to feel better, drop body fat, and live longer. Help me make a plan.”

You’ll be amazed what emerges.



 Share or Ask

If this inspired you, share it with someone you care about.
If you’re curious about my exact protocol, just ask.
I believe this level of metabolic mastery is available to anyone with:

• A clear goal
• A teachable spirit
• And the courage to experiment with wisdom and discipline



I’m not done yet.
But for the first time in a long time, I know exactly what I’m doing.
And it’s working.
