This is Chuando Tan.

He is 58 years old and looks like he's in his late 20's or early 30's.

Here are his secrets to looking half his age: Image
DIET

He eats a high protein low carb diet.

Daily meals include Hainanese chicken, fish, rice, eggs & legumes.

He also prioritizes water intake & limits sugar, preferring to consume it during the daytime if necessary.

He attributes 70% of his youthful appearance to his diet.
WORKOUTS

He trains with weights 3-5x per week with up to 1.5 hours each session.

3x a week he does low-intensity cardio (running exercises with weight training & the occasional yoga session. Image
SKINCARE & LIFESTYLE

For his skin he uses only gel face wash & moisturizer.

When he goes outside he wears a hat/sunglasses outdoors for protection. He lives in Asia, where staying away from the sun is encouraged.

He prioritizes 8+ hours of sleep & avoids food 5-6 hours before sleep for optimal rest.

He did a Botox treatment once but didn't like the effect, so he refrains from using it anymore.

He also dyes his hair to get rid of his grays.Image
MINDSET

Chuando emphasizes the importance of having a positive & optimistic outlook.

He states,

“Mindset plays a crucial role in shaping one’s path”,

He suggests that cultivating optimism & embracing new challenges can mitigate the effect of aging & enhance quality of life.
Even though people revere him for looking young, he acknowledges that he doesn't feel it.

"As much as I don't think I look that young I could be a person who looked like a healthy version of someone or my age.

Every time when people ask that question I will shy away maybe because deep down inside I know
I'm already 56 and I'm aging as like everyone else"
Personal Notes:

As much as Chuando looks young, people don't know what's happening with his actual health.

I'm glad he's upfront about not confusing his appearance with delaying the aging process.

He also has great genetics and it's possible he's used some form of hormonal therapy for his physique.

Either way, looking the way he does at 57 is impressive.

Thankfully, his advice is not about taking 1000 pills or doing a special diet. It's about the simplicity of good habits and behaviors.

The thing I love about Chuando's advice is that it's simple for most people.

If you need to get your shit together in 2026, read this:
1. Stop being easily offended. If you’re easily offended you’re easily manipulated.

2. Get your body lean and healthy. Getting in shape is the lead domino that makes your entire life better.
3. Treat food as fuel for the brain and body. Put garbage in and you get garbage back. Put high quality foods in and you’ll improve your energy and mental health.

4. Sleep is your waste removal system. Prioritize it like your life depended on it.

Surprising numbers to track to see how long you'll live:

1. Body fat %
2. Bone density
3. Grip strength
4. 1 mile run time
5. Daily fiber intake
6. Resting heart rate

Here’s why 👇
1. Body Fat

Excess body fat, especially visceral fat, drives insulin resistance, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

Lower, healthy body fat means better hormones, better energy, and a longer healthspan.

Use the chart below to determine a healthy percentage % Image
2. Bone density

Low bone density increases fracture risk, loss of independence, and mortality.

You don’t “feel” bone loss until it’s too late. Strength training protects it early.

Strong bones are your insurance against aging.

Use a DEXA scan to track your score here: Image

After 20+ years of health coaching, here is every fat loss tip I could come up with:

1. Take 5 grams of creatine for the muscles. Take 10-15 grams of creatine for the brain.
2. To build muscle lift weights 3x a week, hitting each muscle at least 2x. Every session, add more reps or weight. Aim for an FFMI of 18.5-22 (men) or 15.5-18.5 (women)

3. To lose weight, eat at a calorie deficit of 500 or slightly higher depending on how much you have to lose.
4. Focus on 2 numbers: Calories and protein. For protein aim 30-60 grams a meal and a total of .7 to 1 gram per lbs of bodyweight.

5. Eat 3 nutrient-dense meals according to your circadian rhythms. No snacking. This improves energy and automates hunger.

Things I've learned becoming a dad at 40 years old:

1. Your health becomes the most important thing in your life. If you want a chance to see your kids grow up you need to take care of your body.
2. Lifting weights becomes a non-negotiable. This will be the difference between independence and the nursing home.

3. You can be 40 years old and feel like in your 20s if you do the right things for your body.

4. You never know how important good health is until you lose it.
5. Having children will light a fire under your ass and increase your capacity to earn.

6. Kids make you feel younger. The ability to see things through your child's eyes and how they embrace curiosity is a great way to ignite your desire to learn new things.

7 foods to avoid if you want to eliminate visceral fat permanently:

1) Alcohol
2) Fried Foods
3) Sugary foods
4) Refined carbohydrates
5) Processed meats
6) Fast foods
7) Sugary sodas

Here's why 👇🏼
1. Alcohol

Alcohol isn’t just empty calories, it's a metabolic roadblock.

When you drink, your body stops burning fat to clear the alcohol first. It also spikes cortisol, which contributes to belly fat storage.

Alcohol is the first to go if you want to eliminate visceral fat.
2. Fried Foods

When food is fried, oil gets absorbed into it, tripling the calories.

High-heat frying also creates trans fats and acrylamides both directly linked to inflammation and visceral fat gain.

Swap frying for baking, air-frying, or sautéing.

5 hidden signs you might live to 90 or older (87% of people will fail at number 3):

1. Walking speed

This is a sign of function and cardio.

A pace over 1 m/s (2.2 mph) predicts longer life. A stride of over 2.7 mph shows mortality risk drops dramatically. Fast walkers age slower.
2. Resting heart rate

A low RHR means your heart is efficient and your stress response is balanced.

Under 70 bpm is solid. Under 60 bpm is elite longevity territory.

If you’re above 80–90 bpm at rest, it's a sign that you need to build your aerobic engine.
3. Sit-and-rise test

Sitting on the floor and stand back up without using your hands is a display of strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and independence as you age.

By age 85, roughly 2/3's of all injury‑related deaths are due to falls.

Only 1 in 8 adults can do this.
