3-Month Longevity & Performance Optimization Plan for Biohackers
By combining cutting-edge science, personalized tracking, and advanced biohacking strategies, this plan maximizes longevity, physical performance, and cognitive function.
Phase 1: Assessment & Metabolic Flexibility (Weeks 1-4)
Goal: Establish baseline metrics, optimize metabolic health, and prime the body for deeper interventions.
1. Diagnostics & Tracking
Baseline Tests (Week 1):
- Bloodwork:
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipids, inflammation markers)
- Hormones (testosterone, DHEA-S, cortisol, IGF-1)
- Vitamin D, magnesium, B12, omega-3 index
- APOE genotype (if available for personalized lipid response)
- Body Composition: DEXA scan (muscle/fat distribution, bone density)
- Wearables Setup:
- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) (e.g., Levels, Nutrisense)
- HRV & Sleep Tracker (Whoop, Oura)
- Metabolic Analyzer (Lumen or VO2 max testing)
2. Nutrition Protocol
3. Exercise & Recovery
- Strength Training (3x/week):
- Compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench, pull-ups)
- 3-5 sets, 5-8 reps, heavy loads
- HIIT (2x/week):
- 20-30 sec sprints (bike/rower) + 90 sec recovery, 6 rounds
- Zone 2 Cardio (2x/week):
- 45 min low-intensity cycling/walking (HR ~125 bpm)
- Recovery:
- Cold Exposure: 3x/week (3 min cold shower or 5 min ice bath)
- Red Light Therapy (RLT): 10 min daily (mitochondrial support)
4. Cognitive & Stress Optimization
- HRV Tracking & Breathwork:
- Morning HRV check (via Whoop/Oura)
- 5 min box breathing (4-4-4-4) 2x/day
- Neurofeedback (Optional):
- Muse or Neuroptimal for brainwave training (2x/week)
Phase 2: Deep Optimization (Weeks 5-8)
Goal: Enhance autophagy, mitochondrial function, and cognitive resilience.
1. Advanced Supplementation (Cycled)
- NAD+ Boosting Stack:
- Morning:
- NMN (500mg) + Resveratrol (500mg)
- PQQ (20mg) for mitochondrial biogenesis
- Pre-Bed:
- Apigenin (50mg) + Magnesium Glycinate (200mg)
- Autophagy Enhancers (Fast Days Only):
- Spermidine (1mg) + Fisetin (500mg)
2. Upgraded Fasting Protocol
- 36-48h Fast (1x every 2 weeks)
- Protein Cycling: Lower protein (0.6g/lb) on rest days, higher (1g/lb) on training days
3. Exercise Adjustments
- Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training: 1x/week (20-30% 1RM, high reps)
- Sauna Protocol: 3x/week (20 min at 170°F, followed by cold plunge)
4. Cognitive Peak Performance
- Dual N-Back Training: 10 min/day (BrainHQ)
- Nootropic Stack (As Needed):
- Lion’s Mane (1g) + Alpha-GPC (300mg)
Phase 3: Longevity & Long-Term Sustainability (Weeks 9-12)
Goal: Lock in gains, fine-tune biomarkers, and establish lifelong habits.
1. Personalized Adjustments
- Re-test Bloodwork: Compare to baseline (adjust supplements based on deficiencies)
- CGM Optimization: Fine-tune carb tolerance
2. Advanced Biohacks
- Senolytics Trial (Optional):
- Fisetin (1g/day x 2 days, then cycle monthly)
- Peptide Therapy (If Accessible):
- Epitalon (5mg/day x 10 days) for telomere support
3. Final Exercise Protocol
- Explosive Power Training:
- Plyometrics (box jumps, medicine ball slams) 1x/week
- Mobility & Flexibility:
- Daily 10 min yoga/ROM drills
4. Stress & Sleep Mastery
- Sleep Optimization:
- Temperature: 65°F room
- Light: No blue light 90 min before bed
- Supplements:
- Glycine (3g) + L-Theanine (200mg) pre-bed
Post-Plan Maintenance (Beyond 3 Months)
- Monthly:
- 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (e.g., ProLon)
- Bloodwork rechecks (quarterly)
- Lifestyle Anchors:
- Daily movement (10k steps)
- Regular sauna + cold exposure
- Continuous learning (brain plasticity exercises)
Final Notes:
- Individualization is key—adjust based on biomarkers, energy, and recovery.
- Track everything (CGM, HRV, sleep, strength gains).
- Experiment wisely—not all hacks work for everyone.
