As your wealth grows, it's natural to question how to enjoy a longer, healthier life.
Why accumulate wealth without the vitality to enjoy it?
Health is the new wealth for those redefining the human experience.
Studies have shown that being wealthy can add years to your life.
For instance, research indicates that higher-income individuals tend to live longer lives.
This underscores the importance of integrating health into your long-term plans.
What is Biohacking?
Biohacking involves optimizing physical and mental health through science, technology, and self-experimentation.
It encompasses a range of practices, from simple dietary changes and intermittent fasting to advanced techniques like genetic engineering and brain-computer interfaces.
For those pursuing longevity, biohacking offers tools to extend life and enhance its quality.
My Health & Fitness Protocol
Over the past year, I've intensified my health regimen at 42.
I ensure daily exercise and engaging in activities like running, cycling, or weightlifting.
Since we are in the wintertime, I have more focus on hitting the gym and then running or cycling on those days when the sun comes out.
When the spring comes, I will rotate that and spend more time outdoors to get out of the office.
I'm also a member of Bionic Health in North Carolina, where quarterly assessments monitor my blood and fitness levels.
These evaluations include VO2 max tests and DEXA scans, providing insights into body composition and longevity.
The goal is to improve any off-track biomarkers.
Other programs like InsideTracker and Tally Health offer similar services.
Investing in your health can lead to better results in your business and personal life.
Who wouldn’t want stronger, more intimate relationships and perform at higher levels in business?
My Diet Protocol
Having a plan drives the best results in anything you do.
Each week, my meals are meticulously planned and prepared by my wife.
Breakfast typically includes avocado, potatoes, eggs, and Greek yogurt.
Lunch and dinner consist of rotating meals such as ground bison with sweet potatoes and beans or organic chicken breast with jasmine rice.
Each dish is weighed for consistency and stored for easy access.
I avoid processed carbs, rarely eat out, and abstain from alcohol.
My Sleep Protocol
Consistent, quality sleep is crucial for longevity.
I aim for 7 to 8 hours nightly, maintaining a routine of sleeping by 9:30 pm and waking around 5:00 am.
An air purifier serves as a sound machine, and blackout curtains ensure an optimal sleep environment.
Vitamin and Supplement Protocols
Individual needs vary based on bloodwork and personal goals.
Regular hormone checks are essential as we age.
After thorough testing, personalized supplements can address deficiencies.
For example, omega-3 supplements, vitamin D, and regular exercise have been shown to significantly slow biological aging and reduce the risk of invasive cancer by 61%.
Consult with a healthcare provider to determine what's best for you.
Conclusion
In the coming decades, we'll see if biohacking effectively promotes longevity.
As biohackers age and their health metrics are analyzed, we'll understand if these practices lead to sustained mobility and vitality.
The key is finding health programs that suit you, but general guidelines include eliminating unhealthy foods, tracking nutritional intake, and incorporating daily exercise, even simple activities like walking.
