My Routines
Routine:
• Natural Wake-Up: Starting the day around 8:00 AM with natural light exposure, movement, stretching, and breathwork to align circadian rhythm.
• Oral Hygiene Ritual: Daily Waterpik use, flossing, and chewing xylitol gum (1 g) to support oral microbiome and reduce inflammation.
• Morning Fuel: Sipping ~500 ml of dark roast coffee—valued for its high polyphenol content and potential DNA-protective properties.
• Greens Smoothie: Mid-morning nutrient-dense shake rich in magnesium, leafy greens, and polyphenols.
• Time-Restricted Eating: Practicing intermittent fasting with an early cut-off—no food ~3 hours before bedtime.
Workout & Recovery:
• Strength & Cardio: Alternating resistance training and cardio throughout the week—both short sessions and endurance formats.
• Heat Adaptation: Regular sauna sessions to trigger heat-shock proteins and support cardiovascular health.
• Cold Exposure: Using cold plunges or showers for recovery, mood, and mitochondrial resilience.
Diet:
• Nutrient-Dense Focus: Building meals around vegetables, high-quality fats, and clean protein sources.
• Functional Additions: Incorporating sulforaphane-rich foods (e.g., broccoli sprouts), polyphenols, and fermented foods for gut health.
• Flexibility with Discipline: Prioritizing consistency over perfection—allowing room for joy when it fits the context.
Mindset & Resilience:
• Biology-First Decision Making: Grounding all choices in biomarker data—no guesswork.
• Longevity Framework: Treating each habit as part of a bigger system to support cognitive health, metabolism, and lifespan.
• Recovery as Strategy: Viewing sleep, sauna, and nutrient timing as active performance tools—not passive rest.
Tracking & Diagnostics:
• Biomarker Panels: Running detailed bloodwork regularly to guide diet, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments.
• Epigenetic Clock: Monitoring biological age and adjusting protocols accordingly.
• Feedback Loop: Using wearables and subjective data (mood, cognition, recovery) to refine daily routines in real-time.
