Advanced Longevity Plan (Biohacker)
O3's response to the Advanced Longevity Plan (Biohacker) challenge...
?Prompt
Develop a comprehensive, cutting-edge 3-month longevity plan for a biohacker aiming to optimize longevity, physical and cognitive performance. Incorporate advanced strategies like specific supplement stacks (with dosages and cycling), detailed dietary protocols (e.g., ketogenic variations, fasting regimens), advanced wearable tracking, personalized exercise routines (including strength, HIIT, and recovery), stress resilience techniques (e.g., HRV training, neurofeedback concepts), among other things. The plan should be highly detailed and actionable.

1. MASTER CALENDAR OVERVIEW
Month 1 (Weeks 1-4): "METABOLIC RESET"
Goal: shift to fat-adapted state, improve insulin sensitivity, build aerobic base.
Month 2 (Weeks 5-8): "MITOCHONDRIAL & AUTOPHAGY PHASE"
Goal: up-regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, deep cellular cleanup, initiate senolytic pulses.
Month 3 (Weeks 9-12): "HORMETIC PERFORMANCE AMPLIFICATION"
Goal: reintroduce strategic carbohydrates, peak strength & VO₂, reinforce stress-resilience.
Weekly template (modifiable by HRV/sleep scores) shown later.
2. DIETARY & FASTING PROTOCOL
Macros are calories-adjusted to maintain ~10 % caloric deficit (body-fat ≥15 %) or isocaloric (≤12 %). Track with Cronometer, linked to wearables.
Month 1 – Therapeutic Ketogenic (TKD)
- 65 % fat / 25 % protein / 10 % net carbs (<25 g).
- Time-restricted feeding (TRF) 18:6 (e.g., 12 pm-6 pm).
- Electrolyte support: 4 g Na, 1 g K, 400 mg Mg per day.
- Daily polyphenol targets: 1 T cacao nibs, 2 T EVOO, 1 cup blueberries (fits 10 % carbs).
Month 2 – Autophagy-Enhanced Cyclical Keto
- Baseline still keto 5 days/week; introduce 1 carb refeed (150-200 g low-GI) post-leg day.
- Fasting scheme:
- 24 h water-only fast weekly (Sunday dinner → Monday dinner).
- One 48 h fast during Week 7 (with electrolytes + green tea).
- Protein 1.8 g/kg LBM except fasting days (≤1 g/kg).
- Add 10–15 g collagen peptides + 50 mg vitamin C peri-training for connective tissue.
Month 3 – Targeted Keto with Performance Carbs
- 55 % fat / 25 % protein / 20 % carbs (100–120 g) on strength days. Non-training days revert to Month 1 macros.
- Pre-workout carb timing: 30 g cluster-dextrin + 5 g creatine 30 min prior heavy/HIIT sessions.
- Maintain 16:8 TRF; skip breakfast if overnight HRV < baseline.
Micronutrient pillars (daily):
- Omega-3 (EPA ≥1.8 g, DHA ≥1.2 g)
- Choline 550 mg (pastured eggs or 1 g Alpha GPC)
- K 2 (MK-7) 200 µg + D 3 (5,000 IU adjust to serum 50-70 ng/ml)
- Lithium orotate 1 mg (neuroprotection)

6. ADVANCED TRACKING & FEEDBACK LOOPS
Daily Dashboard (Notion or Excel) auto-import via API:
- Sleep (total, REM, SWS)
- HRV (RMSSD)
- RHR
- Waking glucose & CGM 24-h mean / standard deviation
- Training load (TSS or Strain)
- Subjective: energy, mood, soreness (1-10)
- Core body temperature (Fora IR20)
Algorithmic adjustments:
- HRV −15 % & sleep <6 h → cancel HIIT, perform Zone-2 or breathwork only.
- CGM >140 mg/dL for >15 min post-meal → reduce next carb portion by 20 %, add 15-min walk.
Monthly Lab Re-tests (end Weeks 4, 8, 12)
Focus: apoB, hs-CRP, fasting insulin, IGF-1, testosterone, liver enzymes. Modify supplements accordingly.

- DNAm GrimAge Δ ≥ -0.8 years (12-week rate)
- Body-fat −2-4 % with lean mass maintained
- Cognitive battery composite +5-8 %
- Subjective energy ≥8/10 on ≥80 % of days
9. CONTINUITY
At Week 13 decide:
- Maintain cyclical keto or shift to Mediterranean low-glycemic.
- Continue Rapamycin 6-week blocks, then doctor reassess.
- Rotate senolytics every 3 months (e.g., add curcumin-piperine, EGCG).
- Re-periodize training (e.g., focus on skill sport or endurance race).
Remember: Data-driven iteration + physician partnership > any single "hack". May your biomarkers—and life span—trend ever upward.
