There are four things that have been a game changer for my performance and health: sleep, fitness, nutrition and stillness. Here are the details👇
1. Sleep. Sleep is the foundational pillar of health. Sleep 7-9h (at least until when @eightsleep technology will help you compress your sleep further). Do this test: sleep 1h longer every day for a week and then DM me how you feel. You will be a super hero by then
2. Fitness. Be active every day. Best workout for your health is HIIT + some weight training. =|>2x/week bring your HR >80% than your max HR for 20m or more. Use Zones app to monitor it
Do not feel overwhelmed by the amount or intensity of training mentioned above. First focus on building the habit of doing something most of the days, even if it is brisk walking. Once you have built the habit you will naturally raise your intensity
3. Nutrition. Fasting is great for me. OMAD (one meal per day) or 16:8. Do what works for you. It will help you avoid grogginess during the day and help longevity. Avoid glucose spikes, I do a keto diet. It is ok to cheat 1-2x per week, just be consistent
4. Stillness. Spend 10-30m/day doing nothing. Sit still, no music, no walking. Let your mind race. You will suffer for the first few minutes then things will slow down, clarity and solutions will appear and everything will look brighter. This will help you cut the mental noise

After many years of research and experimentation, I’ve found the top 5 hacks that I use everyday which have drastically improved my overall health.

If you are trying to get healthier, this is for you 👇
1) Optimize Sleep

- A consistent sleep schedule is key for improving sleep quality. I go to bed around 9:30PM and wake up at 6:30AM.

- Temperature regulation is important to get more deep sleep and to wake up less during the night. I use my @eightsleep Pod Pro to cool my bed.
2) Daily HIIT/Weight Lifting Workouts

- I do HIIT workouts 3-4 times per week, as HIIT is key to lowering my RHR and increasing my HRV, which are key contributors to longevity

- Regular weight lifting helps to build muscle, improve metabolism, and strengthen my bones + joints

"After we closed our Series C with Peter Thiel in 2012, we invited him to our office...

Midway through the conversation, I asked him what was the single most important piece of advice he had for us.

He replied, 'Don’t fuck up the culture.'"

- @bchesky on AirBnB
After hearing this advice from Peter Thiel, Brian Chesky focused on cultivating a strong culture at AirBnB.

"Culture is simply a shared way of doing something with passion...

The thing that will endure for 100 years, the way it has for most 100-year companies, is the culture."
"The culture is what creates the foundation for all future innovation.

If you break the culture, you break the machine that creates your products."

Want to get healthier? One of the most important factors to overall health is Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

A low HRV has been associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and even death.

Here are 8 ways to increase your HRV👇
What is HRV?

HRV is simply a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat.

The greater the variability is, the better your body is able to perform and function. And vice versa for a lower variance.
1. Improve Sleep

Getting more deep sleep will increase your HRV.

To get more deep sleep, use a product that cools your bed such as the @eightsleep Pod Pro or cool down your bedroom.

The body’s temperature needs to drop by about 2-3 degrees Fahrenheit to get into deep sleep.

Want to increase your lifespan? One of the best ways to increase your overall life expectancy is to lower your resting heart rate (RHR).

A high resting heart rate can lead to conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and more.

Here are 5 ways to decrease your RHR 👇
1. High-Intensity Exercise

Every time you work out, you are training your heart to be stronger and more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.

So when you’re in rest mode, your heart is more easily able to maintain a normal heart rate.
2. Get More Sleep

Sleep deprivation is associated with increased heart rate, an increase in blood pressure and higher levels of certain chemicals linked with inflammation, which can put extra strain on your heart.

Regular poor sleep can reduce ones overall life expectancy.

.@paulg is one of the greatest investors in the history of Silicon Valley. He has many great essays, one of which is called ‘13 sentences’.

If PG could tell startup founders anything, here is what he would say:
1/ Pick good cofounders

“Cofounders are for a startup what location is for real estate. You can change anything about a house except where it is.

In a startup you can change your idea easily, but changing your cofounders is hard.”
2/ Launch fast

“The reason to launch fast is not so much that it's critical to get your product to market early, but that you haven't really started working on it till you've launched.

Launching teaches you what you should have been building."
