What are the potential benefits of fasting?

🔵 Anti-aging: reduces inflammation and neutralizes oxidative damage

🔵 Metabolic Health: lowers blood sugar levels and improves metabolic function, primary via stimulating fat oxidation

🔵 Mental Clarity: trains the brain to run on fats, being in a less hyper aroused and more mentally clear, alert state

🔵 Weight Loss: by putting one in unintentional calorie deficit, re-balancing hunger hormones and improving fat oxidation

🔵 Faster Recovery: promotes clearing junk volume like toxins, plaque and waste by-products

It's a shame that we accept "being tired all the time" as normal.

Matter of fact, sometimes we're even praised for working harder than our bodies can handle.

Sleepless nights.
4 cups of coffee.
Isolation.
Cognitive overload.

All these have to go. And while it seems counterproductive, it's what "real productivity" is about.

Why? If you can add 10 years to your life, which is arguably, very possible - don't you have more time to do things and experience life?

If you can have 3x the energy you do today - aren't you able to do more (if you can only recharge faster)?

I flipped the script on what being productive means.

Sharp focus - then brain reset (rest)
Specific goals - sets the filter for priorities
Quality sleep - reserve 8.30h every night in bed
Nutritious foods - no junk-food, no garbage, no empty foods
Hygiene - taking care of yourself (skin, hair) and your environment (air, water)

Let's rewrite the script together ‪@BryanJohnson‬

Your body has a specific "recovery bandwidth".

The more stressors it takes, the more this RB wastes.

#Antioxidants help increase that bandwidth, as they assist in recovery-ing.

Antioxidant's main purpose is neutralizing oxidative stress and damage.

These two occur inevitably, are crucial to recovery and dictate #aging speed.

While low-level inflammation is going to be there, accumulated, chronic #inflammation speeds up aging.

Antioxidants basically help fight this oxidative stress, enabling the body to recovery.

A potent way to boost your antioxidant status is by eating antioxidant-rich foods, taking supps and reducing environmental toxins.

🌘 Being exposed to artifical light emitted by devices, which fits in the range of blue light is detrimental before sleep.

Now we know that nighttime exposure to blue light disrupts melatonin secretion, detrimentally affecting sleep.

Since the science on sleep shows a clear link between quality sleep, longevity and more energy - tackling sleep is an important area to improve.

Most can do three simple things to alleviate blue light exposure at night

👓 wear blue blocking glasses 2 hours before bed
🎥 install a cinema projector, watch your movies on the wall
🚨 invest in infrared light bulbs, and make them the only choice in the afternoon

100 of years people didn't have this information. Now, we do. Use it to your advantage.

Blocking blue light is just one simple step to improve sleep, amongst many.

Such a small, easy and practical step to improve sleep score - a strong determinant of your life quality, length and energy levels.

De-stimulate the brain and let those soothing dreams take over. Wake up refreshed, energized and ambitious.

☕ One of the smartest strategies to use caffeine effectively is - not having it twice weekly.

The brain adapts to blocking adenosine, which caffeine does, making us feel alert and energetic.

When done in excess, our bodies get used to it, developing tolerance which accumulates in more fatigue, poor sleep and lower focus overtime - which no one wants.

So instead, try giving caffeine a break for two days weekly to reset your tolerance to it.

Beyond preventing future headaches, this can increase the hit of caffeine we love
1) the increase in focus and alertness
2) the boost in dopamine which uplifts mood
3) the arousal that makes us productive

It's quite a cheap, practical and handy tool.
It does require discipline though, 2 days weekly.
Isn't it worth it though? for deeper sleep, sharper focus and better mood?

😨 Stress is one of the major limiting factors impairing sleep. How to decrease it? #stressrelief #reducestress #parasympathetic

Mediating psychological stress is complex and ongoing process for all of us. It stems
from toxic relationships, societal pressure and financial worries. Things like shifts in perception, thoughts observation, making progress, belief-change can all alter it.

However, this stress manifests physically in the body. There are a couple of techniques that may help optimize our physiology, de-activate our brains and help the body ease to sleep.

1) Self-massage: activates specific pressure points that relieve muscle tension
2) Deep breathing: longer exhales can stimulate the parasympathetic NS and reduce heart rate
3) Red light at night: reducing the hyper-arousal and stimulation from blue light
4) Natural supplements: herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola and the amino-acid L-theanine are shown to reduce brain activity and improve adaptability to stressors
5) Vagus nerve stimulation: the vagal tone can be increased via cold exposure, taVNS vibrating device, and exercise.

While it's difficult to control or manage psychological stress, these strategies may help relieve physical stress that accumulates as a result.

⚡One of the secret hacks of many biohackers for optimizing energy levels and powering the cells is adding electrolytes first thing in the morning. #electrolytes #increaseenergy

They help hydrate the cell, by pulling water inside. Optimal cellular hydration is a prerequisite for energy, health and longevity.

It doesn't have to be a fancy supplement, it can be mineral-rich, pure salt that contains the most important electrolytes.

Electrolytes are required for numerous functions in the body. From how our brain operates, heart functions and muscles contract - it all depends on these tiny minerals.

One of the shifts I'm seeing with biohackers is instead of getting a fancy, caffeine and sugar loaded bomb of a pre-workout - they'd rather sprinkle a bit of mineral-rich salt on a homemade, glyphosate free honey as a pre-workout.

🍽️ Fasting is about teaching the body to tap into fats for fuel. When it does, it becomes more metabolically flexible.

Such intermittent glucose starvation teaches the body to fill it's battery using fats. When that happens, insulin levels lower, bringing forth numerous benefits for metabolic health.

+ Energy levels increase
+ Body Fat drops
+ Glycemic control Improves
+ Lipid profile improves
+ Glucose levels stabilize

⚖️ Since weight gain, inflammation and metabolic dysfunction is so common - it's a topic worth talking about. Most connect weight loss with healthy because being overweight is so frequent. Fasting is one of the most practical strategies to teach the body to flip the switch.

- Calorie deficit works
- Increasing protein works
- Eating more fiber works
- Exercising more helps

But in terms of practicality, most can follow an 14:10, 16:8 or 18:6 fasting protocol without radically shifting their diet.

Why is health tracking so profound?

It makes the difference between feeling healthy and being healthy.

It eliminates subjectivity, one of the most inconsistent forces highly susceptible to placebo's and speculation.

When one measures the real HRV, real sleep score, real glucose levels, real VO2max: REAL adaptations take place and REAL results are shown directly.

This is the power of health tracking.


Most of us know our ROI % on products, investments or tax brackets, but have no idea what our HbA1c or Testosterone is - that should change if we take health seriously.

This is the magic of health tracking. Voilà.

🥑 Do you have enough omega 3?

🐟 An omega-3 index of >8% (which measures EPA/DHA content in red blood cells) is linked to better cardiovascular function, brain health and longevity.

Why it matters: Omega-3s help sharpen focus, enhance mood, and protect against heart disease, making them vital for both mental and physical performance.
