Absolutely! Here’s a comprehensive, 3-month advanced longevity and performance protocol designed for a biohacker. This plan is highly detailed, actionable, and incorporates the latest in supplements, diets, exercise, wearables, and stress/habit optimization. Please consult a healthcare professional before starting any new interventions, especially supplements or dietary changes.
OVERVIEW
- Goal: Optimize longevity, physical, and cognitive performance
- Duration: 12 weeks (3 months)
- Structure:
- Daily & weekly routines
- Monthly cycling/periodization
- Objective tracking
- Biofeedback & adaptation
1. WEARABLES & TRACKING
- Whoop 4.0 or Oura Ring: Track HRV, sleep stages, readiness, and strain.
- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM; e.g., Levels or Dexcom G7): 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off, repeat.
- Lumen or Biosense: Daily metabolic flexibility (fat vs. carb burning).
- Apple Watch or Garmin: Real-time exercise, SpO2, ECG.
- Muse S or Neurofeedback Headset: Meditation, EEG biofeedback (2–3x/week).
- Bloodwork: Baseline, month 1, month 3 (focus: lipids, HsCRP, fasting insulin, ApoB, testosterone/estradiol, IGF-1, vitamin D, homocysteine, etc.)
Daily Tracking:
- Sleep duration & quality
- HRV (morning & before bed)
- Resting heart rate
- Blood glucose (fasting, postprandial)
- Ketone levels (if ketogenic)
- Subjective energy, mood, focus (1–10 scale)
2. DIETARY PROTOCOL
A. Ketogenic-Mediterranean Hybrid Diet
- Macros:
- Week 1–2: 70% fat, 20% protein, 10% carbs (strict keto induction)
- Week 3–8: 60% fat, 25% protein, 15% carbs (add polyphenol-rich carbs, e.g., berries, purple sweet potatoes)
- Week 9–12: 50% fat, 30% protein, 20% carbs (cyclic keto; carb-up 1 night/week)
- Sources: Extra-virgin olive oil, wild-caught fish, pasture eggs, avocados, leafy greens, nuts/seeds, dark berries, fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut), limited grass-fed meats.
- Supplements: Electrolytes (Na, Mg, K), marine collagen (10g daily), omega-3 (DHA/EPA 1–2g/day).
- Gut Health: Prebiotics (inulin, resistant starch), 1 tbsp/day, plus daily probiotic (e.g., Pendulum Glucose Control or Seed).
B. Fasting & Time-Restricted Eating
- 16:8 TRE: Eating window 12–8pm (daily, weeks 1–12)
- 24-hour fast: 1x/week (e.g., Mondays, water/black coffee/tea only)
- Prolonged fast: 48-hour fast at week 6 (if experienced, otherwise skip)
- Autophagy boost: Green tea, spermidine-rich foods on fasting days
C. Caloric Restriction & Mimetics
- Calories: 10–15% below maintenance (except on intense training days)
- Mimetics: Take resveratrol, NMN, and/or metformin (with MD oversight) on fasting or low-calorie days
