After doing some research and watching some Thomas DeLauer(excellent health/fitness channel) videos about studies showing various compounds that trigger thermogenesis, mitochondria uncoupling(aka releasing energy as heat dissipation), brown fat activation, etc to cause the body to go into a state of lipolysis, I came up with the idea to make a sauce filled with complimentary compounds to put on my various lunch/dinner meals to effectively turn them into fat incenerators.
I call this Thermonuclear sauce. It's both extremely potent and surprisingly tasty.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dijon/Stone Ground Mustard(NOT plain yellow) - look for low sugar and ones that have mustard seed listed as an ingredient
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
3 TBSP Sriracha
3 TBSP Olive Oil
2-3 inch piece of fresh Ginger
3 cloves Garlic
2 TBSP fresh Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Tumeric
1/2-1 Tsp Cinammon
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend til smooth. Add water to thin out to taste. I added probably 1/4-1/3 of a cup and then blend again.
Sauce is ready. Take a spoonful and taste it...then get ready to have your body be on fire within 10 minutes.
So what does this do exactly?

How Thermonuclear Sauce Burns Fat — Mechanisms Explained
The fat-burning effects of Thermonuclear Sauce come from a synergy of powerful natural compounds, primarily allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) from mustard, capsaicin from cayenne and red pepper flakes, gingerol from ginger, curcumin from turmeric, and cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon.
Each of these activates sensory pathways in the body linked to metabolism, thermogenesis, and fat mobilization.
TRP Channel Activation
The main mechanism is activation of TRP (transient receptor potential) ion channels, especially TRPA1 and TRPV1:
Compounds like AITC and capsaicin can cause mild mitochondrial uncoupling. This means instead of efficiently storing energy, your mitochondria release some of it as heat — leading to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your body taps into stored fat to fuel this excess energy demand.
Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Support
The Result:
This sauce creates a multi-pronged fat-burning effect:
In short, this creates a calorie-incinerating metabolic amplifier that uses natural compounds to mimic stress signals that your body responds to by burning fat.
Is this going to cause you to drop 20 lbs overnight? No.
But it can help you incrementally day after day that adds up to significant effects over a period of a few months.
Effectively, this causes your body to do a chemically induced workout every time you use it.

TRP Channel ActivationThe main mechanism is activation of TRP (transient receptor potential) ion channels, especially TRPA1 and TRPV1:
- AITC (mustard) activates TRPA1, mimicking a noxious thermal stimulus. This triggers non-shivering thermogenesis, prompting the body to increase heat production and energy expenditure.
- Capsaicin (cayenne, chili flakes) activates TRPV1, the same receptor that responds to heat. This causes brown adipose tissue (BAT) and beige fat cells to become more active, converting calories into heat — a process linked with upregulation of UCP1, the mitochondrial uncoupling protein.
- Gingerol and cinnamaldehyde also activate TRPA1 and TRPV1, further amplifying thermogenesis and promoting lipolysis (fat breakdown).
Compounds like AITC and capsaicin can cause mild mitochondrial uncoupling. This means instead of efficiently storing energy, your mitochondria release some of it as heat — leading to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your body taps into stored fat to fuel this excess energy demand.
Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Support
- Cinnamon and ginger improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, reducing post-meal insulin spikes — making your body more likely to burn fat than store it.
- Turmeric (curcumin) acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing metabolic inflammation, which can impair fat loss when elevated chronically.
The Result:
This sauce creates a multi-pronged fat-burning effect:
- Activates heat-generating pathways (thermogenesis)
- Increases fat oxidation and calorie expenditure
- Enhances glucose metabolism and insulin response
- Supports a healthy inflammatory profile, making fat loss easier
