3-Month Cutting-Edge Longevity & Performance Optimization Plan
For the Advanced Biohacker
This plan integrates nutrigenomics, metabolic flexibility, epigenetic modulation, neuroplasticity enhancement, and precision biometrics to maximize lifespan, healthspan, cognitive function, and physical performance. It is structured in three phases (Foundation, Optimization, Peak Performance) with progressive intensity.
📌 Core Principles
- Metabolic Flexibility – Optimize glucose, ketone, and fatty acid utilization.
- Autophagy & Senolysis – Induce cellular cleanup via fasting, exercise, and senolytics.
- Epigenetic Reprogramming – Use diet, supplements, and lifestyle to favor longevity pathways (mTOR, AMPK, SIRT, Nrf2).
- Neuroplasticity & Cognitive Enhancement – Stack nootropics, neurofeedback, and novel learning.
- Stress Resilience & HRV Optimization – Train the nervous system for adaptive resilience.
- Precision Biometrics – Continuous tracking via wearables, blood work, and biomarkers.

🚀 Final Notes
- Personalization is Key: Adjust based on genetics (23andMe, SelfDecode), blood work, and subjective feedback.
- Cycle Intensity: Avoid chronic stress—deload every 4th week (reduce volume, increase recovery).
- Track Everything: Use Notion, Excel, or a biohacking app (Heads Up Health) to log data.
- Consult a Professional: For peptides, rapamycin, or advanced fasting, work with a longevity-focused doctor.
🔥 Next Steps:
- Get baseline blood work & epigenetic test.
- Acquire supplements (priority: NMN, berberine, fisetin, omega-3).
- Set up wearables (Oura, CGM, Whoop).
- Start Phase 1—commit to consistency!
This is your blueprint for extreme human optimization. Execute with discipline, track relentlessly, and iterate. 🚀
