I belong to the 0.01% of men.

I’m 43, healthier, stronger, and in better shape than 99% of 20-year-olds.

How? By following a strict protocol designed to help me live past 120.

Here’s what it looks like & how to build yours (based on science) :🧵

1. Regular blood work

I track 124 biomarkers to know exactly what my body and every organ needs to stay 100% healthy.

That’s how I build my:
• Nutrition
• Supplements
• Training
• Peptide doses (explained later)

I test — never guess:

2. NAD+

NAD+ doesn’t just slow aging — IT HELPS REPAIR YOU AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL.

Research shows NAD+ supports mitochondrial repair, boosts energy production, and helps regenerate cells damaged by stress, toxins, and age

Here’s how I use it:

3. Methylene blue

Research shows it boosts mitochondria, improves oxygen use, and reverses damage from aging and inflammation.

It’s even used by RFK Jr. as part of his daily protocol:

4. Sleep

Deep sleep boosts testosterone and growth hormone — which means more muscle, less fat, better focus, and mood.

Here’s my exact routine and room setup for high-quality sleep (anyone can use this):

5. Cold & Heat Stress

Cold exposure burns fat and strengthens mitochondria.

Heat (like saunas) improves heart health and triggers cell repair:

6. Strength training

Builds more than muscle — it trains your cells to work better.

It improves mitochondrial health, lowers inflammation, and increases testosterone naturally.

Lifting isn’t just for looks. It’s for longevity:

7. Cardio & Stretching

Cardio strengthens your heart and boosts brain blood flow.

Stretching improves mobility, lowers stress, and speeds up recovery:

8. RLT

I’ve been using red light therapy for over 5 years (way before it got popular).

It uses red and near-infrared light (600–1000nm) to go deep into your skin, reach your cells, and help them make more energy.

The results? Better than most people think:

9. Diet

I eat whole foods 90% of the time (real meat, fruit, roots, and clean fats)

It fuels my body, lowers inflammation, supports gut health, and keeps my energy stable all day.

No processed junk.

10. Supplements

I always test for deficiencies — then take only what my body actually needs.

Right now, that includes:
• Selenium
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin C
• DHEA

+ Top 5 mushrooms I use for daily performance:

Lion’s Mane → Focus & brain repair
Cordyceps → Energy & endurance
Reishi → Stress relief & immune boost
Turkey Tail → Gut health & cancer support
Chaga → Antioxidants & inflammation control

11. Peptides

They are the future of modern health.

But most people fear them without really understanding what they do.

Here’s what I use right now:

(1/6) BPC-157

One of the most powerful healing peptides.

Originally used for ulcers, now shown to repair gut lining, reduce inflammation & speed up injury recovery.

No cycling needed — well-tolerated for long-term use:

(2/6) Testosterone Cyp (mixed with MCT oil)

I take 0.25cc every other day (or 0.75–1cc weekly), based on labs and medical guidance.

Supports energy, muscle, focus, and hormone balance.
Micro-dosing keeps levels stable.

(3/6) HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

I take 50 units, 3 times per week.

Supports natural testosterone production, fertility, and overall hormone balance while on TRT.

(4/6) Retatrutide

I take 0.6mg every other day ( guided by labs and a precise plan)

One of the newest and most powerful GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists.

Supports fat loss, insulin sensitivity, and appetite control.

Be really careful with this one — here’s why:

(5/6) Ipamorelin / CJC-1295

Taken twice daily — morning (empty stomach) and before bed.

Supports natural growth hormone release, recovery, deep sleep, and fat loss:

(6/6)

I take 0.5mg twice daily — dialed in for mental clarity and stress control.

Boosts focus, reduces anxiety, and improves mood without sedation:

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

All of these are tailored specifically for my body — based on lab work and guided by medical support.
