FAQ: When to Repeat a BATReset
Repeating a BATReset is not based on a calendar, it’s based on biology.
Each person’s body recovers at a different pace. The right time to repeat depends on your BAT Levels and BATScore trends, not on arbitrary timing or routine scheduling.
The Guiding Rule
Repeat the BATReset only when your data, not your schedule, indicates it’s time. Providers determine this using BATTCheck and BAT Testing trends to see if protein clearance rhythm has stayed stable or if drift has returned.
Some people may benefit from a full corrective cycle once a year, while others may only need a short preventive reset to stay balanced.
After Corrective or Stabilization Cycles (8 or 12-Week)
If your last BATReset was an 8 or 12-week corrective cycle, repetition depends on how your clearance rhythm stabilizes afterward.
You may not need another full cycle if:
- Post-cycle BAT Levels and BATScore remain stable or improved
- Your BATCheck shows restored clearance rhythm
- You feel sustained energy, normal sleep, and cognitive stability
- Your provider confirms biological balance has held for several months
You may benefit from repeating if:
- BAT Levels begin to drift again into the Watch Range or Action Range
- BATScore begins to fall from prior baseline
- Significant stress, illness, or biological disruption occurs
In these cases, an 8-week reset or shorter 4-week maintenance cycle is often enough to restore rhythm.
After a Preventive 4-Week BATReset
The 4-Week BATReset is intended for anyone who wants to maintain healthy brain-clearance rhythm, even without abnormal BAT Levels. It helps support neuroprotective autophagy and long-term balance.
This cycle can be repeated once per year as part of ongoing prevention. It’s similar to an annual tune-up, short, proactive, and designed to keep clearance pathways active between annual BATChecks.
You might repeat your annual 4-Week BATReset when:
- You’re due for your annual BATCheck
- You’ve recently faced stress, travel, or recovery that affected routine
- You want to maintain preventive rhythm and avoid drift
If post-cycle data remains stable, there’s no reason to increase frequency, prevention should stay sustainable, not excessive.
4. Typical Timing Patterns
| Cycle Type | Average Frequency | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Week BATReset | Every 12 months | Maintenance and prevention; supports healthy clearance rhythm |
| 8-Week BATReset | As needed (typically once per year) | Moderate drift correction based on BAT Levels |
| 12-Week BATReset | As needed (if BATScore < 70) | Comprehensive recalibration for advanced or multi-system drift |
| Post-Cycle BATCheck (Clearance Check) | 5 weeks after each cycle | Confirms recovery and readiness for next cycle |
Provider Evaluation Before Repeating
Before any new cycle, your provider reviews:
- Post-cycle BATCheck and BAT Testing data
- BAT Levels and BATScore trends over time
- Medication, recovery status, and overall health stability
No new cycle begins without updated data confirming that another reset is appropriate.
6. Safety Window Between Cycles
To protect the body’s natural rhythm, there should be at least a 12-week gap between any two BATReset cycles.
This allows the body’s autophagy, hormonal, and immune systems to return fully to baseline before beginning a new cycle.
Recovery time is not downtime, it’s where the long-term biological stability actually happens.
Key Takeaway
Repeat BATReset when your data tells you to, not your calendar.
In most cases:
- Comprehensive cycles: once per year or less
- Standard cycles: once per year or less
- Preventive 4-Week cycles: annually
If you’re stable, stay there.
If drift reappears, reset deliberately, not reactively.
Prevention works best when it follows rhythm, not routine.
