Comprehensive 3-Month Longevity & Performance Optimization Plan
Disclaimer: This plan involves advanced biohacking protocols. Consult a physician before starting, especially if you have health conditions. Some interventions (e.g., rapamycin, NR/NMN) are investigational. Monitor biomarkers regularly.
Phase 1: Foundation & Assessment (Weeks 1–4)
1. Diagnostic Baseline (Week 1)
- Biomarker Panel: Comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, HbA1c, fasting insulin, hs-CRP, testosterone/estrogen, cortisol (morning), DHEA-S, vitamin D, B12, homocysteine, IGF-1.
- Genetic Testing (optional): Focus on methylation (MTHFR), APOE, and telomere-related genes.
- Wearable Baseline: Establish baselines for resting heart rate (RHR), HRV (RMSSD), sleep stages, and daily activity.
2. Dietary Protocol
Core Approach: Cyclical Ketogenic Diet with Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)
- Macros: 70–75% fat, 20–25% protein, 5–10% net carbs (initially 20g, titrate to 50g after ketosis).
- TRE Window: 12:12 (minimum) → progress to 16:8 by Week 4.
- Nutrient Density: Focus on organ meats, wild-caught fish, pastured eggs, fermented foods.
- Hydration: 3–3.5L water + 200mg magnesium/day.
3. Supplement Stack (Base)
| Supplement | Dosage | Timing | Notes |
|---|
| Vitamin D3 | 5,000–8,000 IU | Morning (with fat) | Target 60–80 ng/mL |
| K2 (MK-7) | 200–400 mcg | With D3 | For arterial elasticity |
| Magnesium Threonate | 400 mg | Night | For sleep/HRV |
| Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) | 2–3g EPA+DHA | With meals | High-grade fish oil |
| NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) | 300–500 mg | Morning | For NAD+ |
| Resveratrol | 100–250 mg | With NR | Trans-resveratrol |
| Spermidine | 3–6 mg | Night | Autophagy induction |
| Vitamin C (liposomal) | 1–2 g | Morning | For collagen/GI health |
4. Exercise Protocol
Structure: 4–5 days/week
- Strength (2 days): Full-body, low rep (3–5 reps), heavy compounds (squat, deadlift, press). Concentric focus.
- HIIT (1 day): 4x4 Norwegian protocol (4 intervals at 90–95% max HR, 3 min active recovery).
- Zone 2 (1–2 days): 45–60 min, HR < 180 – age. Target 60–70% max HR.
- Mobility/Recovery (daily): 15 min of dynamic stretching or light yoga.
5. Stress Resilience & Sleep
- HRV Training: Daily 5-min coherent breathing (6 breaths/min) using biofeedback (e.g., Elite HRV).
- Cold Exposure: Cold shower (2–3 min) ending with 30 sec cold, or cold plunge 2–3x/week.
- Sleep Hygiene: Fixed sleep window (10:30 PM–6:30 AM), cool room (65–68°F), red light glasses after 9 PM, no caffeine after 12 PM.
- Neurofeedback (Conceptual): If available, consider EEG neurofeedback sessions for alpha/theta training to enhance recovery.
Phase 2: Optimization & Intensification (Weeks 5–8)
1. Advanced Dietary Shifts
- Extended Fast: Begin monthly 48-hour water fast (monitored). Start with 24-hour fast in Week 5.
- Cycling: Implement "Feast/Famine" weeks—1 week of higher carbs (cyclical keto) followed by stricter keto.
- Ketone Optimization: Add exogenous ketones (2–3g BHB) on fasting days or pre-HIIT for cognitive performance.
2. Augmented Supplement Stack
Add to base stack:
- Rapamycin (Sirolimus): 3–5 mg/week (low-dose, intermittent). Consult doctor. Monitor lipids and glucose.
- Quercetin + Fisetin: 500 mg each, 2x/month (senolytic protocol).
- L-Theanine: 200 mg (night) for sleep depth.
- Taurine: 1–2 g (night) for antioxidant/GABA support.
- Protocol Cycling: Rotate spermidine (2 weeks on, 1 week off).
3. Exercise Progression
- Strength: Introduce DoggCrapp style training—rest-pause sets, controlled negatives.
- HIIT: Add sprint intervals (10 sec all-out, 50 sec recovery) once weekly.
- Zone 2: Progress to 75–90 min sessions, maintain low HR.
4. Advanced Wearables & Metrics
- Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): Use for 2 weeks to personalize diet (e.g., food sensitivity).
- HRV Analysis: Daily trending—aim for weekly RMSSD increase.
- Sleep Tracking: Deep sleep > 20%, REM > 25% (target with supplements/cool temps).
5. Cognitive Enhancement
- Nootropic Stack (cyclical):
- Day 1–5: Lion's Mane (1.5g), Bacopa (300mg), Caffeine (100mg) + L-Theanine (200mg).
- Day 6–7: Nootropic break (to prevent tolerance).
- Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR): 20-min daily yoga nidra or self-hypnosis for nervous system downregulation.
Phase 3: Integration & Fine-Tuning (Weeks 9–12)
1. Biomarker Re-Testing
- Repeat key labs. Adjust supplements/diet based on results (e.g., adjust vitamin D, lipid ratios).
2. Dietary Fine-Tuning
- Personalized Carb Tolerance: Use CGM data to reintroduce optimal carbs (e.g., sweet potato, berries) pre/post workouts.
- Protein Optimization: Slightly increase protein to 1.2–1.6g/kg to support muscle retention during caloric shifts.
3. Advanced Interventions (If Suitable)
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): 10–20 sessions (90 min at 2.0 ATA) for telomere lengthening/stem cell stimulation (emerging evidence).
- Red Light Therapy: 10–20 min daily (660nm/850nm) for mitochondrial function.
- Plasma Donation: If > 40, consider annual plasma donation to reduce inflammatory factors (talk to your doctor).
4. Exercise Periodization
- Week 9–10: Deload (50% volume).
- Week 11–12: Peak performance—max strength/HIIT output.
5. Long-Term Sustainability Review
- Assess adherence to protocols.
- Identify bottlenecks (e.g., sleep disruptions, stress spikes).
- Create "maintenance stack" for post-3-month phase.
Key Monitoring Schedule
| Week | Action |
|---|
| 1 | Baseline labs + wearable setup |
| 4 | Review HRV/sleep trends, adjust diet |
| 8 | Re-test biomarkers (critical), adjust supplements |
| 12 | Full reassessment, create Year 1 plan |
Emergency Modifications
- If HRV drops > 15%: Reduce training intensity, increase sleep, add magnesium.
- If fasting causes dizziness: Reduce fasting window, ensure electrolytes.
- If inflammation rises (hs-CRP > 2): Pause rapamycin, increase omega-3, add curcumin (1g).
Final Note: This is an aggressive protocol. Prioritize sleep, stress management, and listening to your body. Biohacking is iterative—adapt based on your unique responses.
