This plan assumes a healthy adult with no medical conditions. Some supplements or fasting protocols can interact with medications or health conditions, so medical supervision and bloodwork are strongly recommended.

Key longevity markers to aim for
- VO2max: top 10% for age
- resting HR: <55
- fasting insulin: <5 µIU/mL
- triglyceride/HDL ratio <1
- body fat: ~10–15% (men) / 18–22% (women)
If you'd like, I can also build:
- a much more aggressive “elite biohacker” protocol used by people like Bryan Johnson / Peter Attia
- a precise daily schedule (hour-by-hour)
- a lab-testing and biomarker optimization framework
- a cheaper minimalist version that gives 80% of the longevity benefits.
