A Former Pro’s Performance Stack: Look Sharp, Live Well

Health is wealth. Taking care of yourself is hot. Strength, energy, clear skin, and self-respect show in the way you carry yourself every single day.

A real performance stack is bigger than a shelf of supplements. It covers how you train, eat, sleep, handle stress, and care for your skin.

Jackson Pritchard is a former pro baseball player. He has trained for more than 15 years. He treats these habits as one system.

What makes this performance stack work is not the number of products. Each part has a clear job.

Jackson’s Complete Performance Stack at a Glance

• Training and food that support strength
• Gut health that helps his body use what he takes
• A 90-second men's skincare routine
• Supplements with a clear job
• Yellow and red glasses for focus and sleep
• Stress habits that support calm and recovery

Skincare: The Visible Layer of a Performance Stack

Your face shows how the rest of the system is going. Poor sleep, low water intake, stress, and time often show around the eyes first.

Jackson uses the RAWDOG routine because his face is one of the first things people notice, and he likes its biomimetic ingredients, which are designed to work with the skin.

In our testing of routines, we found that simple beats complicated. When we developed the RAWDOG Core Set, we built it around three clear jobs:

• Cleanser to remove oil, sweat, and buildup
• Caffeine Under Eye Cream to target eye bags, dark circles, and wrinkles
• Moisturizer to support smooth, hydrated skin

Three steps. Less than 90 seconds. Simple, fast, and built for a visible result.

The High-Performance Triple-Peptide Stack for More Awake Eyes

Tired eyes can change your whole face. RAWDOG’s peptide eye cream pairs caffeine and zerumbone with three cosmetic peptides.

• Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate: helps soften the look of expression and squint lines
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, also known as Argireline: helps smooth the look of wrinkles over time
• Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide: supports firmer, smoother skin under the eyes

We chose this peptide mix because each ingredient has a clear job.

One randomized, placebo-controlled study looked at Argireline. It found a visible change in eye wrinkles after four weeks.

Caffeine can make puffiness look less obvious. Zerumbone comes from wild ginger. It adds antioxidant support and targets the look of dark circles.

The formula uses ingredients with research behind them. Studies on those individual ingredients reported:

• Fewer visible wrinkles: 54% less wrinkle depth after seven days
• Firmer-looking skin: 130% higher skin density after 28 days
• More resilient skin: 14.75% more elasticity in two hours
• More moisture: 21% more moisture after 28 days
• Antioxidant support: Zerumbone showed 5x the power of vitamin E

That adds up to a clear goal. Eyes look less tired. Skin looks smoother, firmer, and well cared for.

The Basics Still Do the Heavy Lifting

Grant Fowler of Fowler Fitness has shaped how Jackson thinks about training and food.

Fowler takes a holistic, science-led approach. Build strength. Move well.

Avoid preventable injuries. Eat for the work. Pay attention to life outside the gym.

That is the base of Jackson’s performance stack.

“After more than 15 years of training, I’ve learned that what I do outside the gym matters just as much as the work inside it. When training, food, sleep, and recovery are in place, every part of the stack works better.”

Jackson’s Current Performance Supplements

In Jackson’s performance stack, supplements come after the basics. Each product has one clear job.

Training Support

• Unmatched Dileucine: Jackson added it after his bench, squat, and deadlift stalled. He takes it after training to support protein synthesis and muscle growth. After a month, his lifts moved. He credits the full routine, not one product.

• Lost Empire Pine Pollen Tincture: a newer product that he cycles. His goal is to support testosterone and gym performance.

Gut, Minerals, and Energy

• Infiniwell BPC-157: Jackson has used this peptide on and off for about four years. It is part of his recovery, gut lining, and digestion routine. He started after baseball injuries to his elbow, ankle, knee, and back. He also did rehab.

• MITOLIFE Shilajit: a six-year morning staple for fulvic acid and trace minerals. He also likes the lift in energy when it dissolves under his tongue.

• Ignite B Complex: a two-year morning staple for natural energy. It contains niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, B6, folate, and B12.

Nighttime Recovery

• Fowler Fitness Magnesium: a six-year nightly staple. Jackson uses the multi-form blend for sleep, recovery, and daily stress.

• Just Calm by Just Thrive: added after a gut protocol. At night, it helps him feel calm, sleep well, and avoid stress-related brain fog.

The point is purpose, not a longer list. His performance stack stays focused on what he will use.

The Light Stack: Yellow by Day, Red After Dark

Light is part of Jackson’s performance stack too. He uses BioSpectral Systems glasses in two ways.

Yellow during the day: less glare, easier screen time. Jackson wears the yellow lenses indoors. They filter 435-475 nm light from screens and LEDs. Colors still look familiar.

Red after dark: a clear signal to wind down. Blue and green light activates melanopsin in the eye. That can suppress melatonin. BioSpectral’s night lenses block those wavelengths up to 540 nm. The goal is better sleep and recovery.

A randomized trial found that adults who wore amber lenses before bed reported better sleep than the control group.

Why both? Yellow handles artificial light during the day. Red gives stronger cover after sunset. BioSpectral puts melanin into the lens itself. That supports easier screen time by day and better recovery at night.

The Full Performance Stack, Working Together

A performance stack is not about doing everything. It is about fixing the weak links.

Train hard. Eat well. Take care of your gut and skin.

Sleep. Handle stress. Use supplements with a purpose.

Together, those habits build strength, energy, confidence, and a put-together look. That is performing well. Yes, it looks good on you.

That is what a well-built performance stack should do.
