One of my favorite threads on this site has been the "Can you share your Longevity / Healthspan Regime? It has taken time to evolve because it can be labor intensive to list all of the things you are doing, but the conversations created have been invaluable to me and appears many others on the site. Having such experienced and resourceful members is what creates the magic!
To narrow the focus, it would be great to hear how people start their day or their morning routine. In my case, setting my day up for success is one of the foundation of my Healthspan improvements and possibly Longevity. If you have time, I would love to hear what you are doing now, considering in the future and even what you have stopped for what ever reason. Below is what I am current doing:)
Awake almost everyday 530 - 6 am. (Average about 71/2 - 8 hours of sleep)
Checking my weight and body fat% - this is just after voiding
Brushing my teeth - some suggestion of this helping protect against food/ coffee acidity damage to enamel vs. brushing after eating.
Glass of water with lemon/ lime or apple cider vinegar
2 cups of coffee - 1st with stevia and half and half / second with stevia, EVO, coconut oil ( blended high speed)
100 push ups - divided by 3-4 sets
Review my WHOOP scores for HRV, RHR, recovery and strain goals
30 second cold shower then allow water to warm into a normal shower
5 miniutes of breath work - usually Fire breathing with breath retention after.
Review 3-5 things I am grateful for.
3 - 4 mornings / week I will start the day with a protein shake with added (frozen) broccoli sprouts, blueberries and avocado. The rest of the mornings I will not eat until lunch
1 x week Rapamycin 6-7mg with shot of EVO / lime or if Rapamycin I have available is getting low then I will take 3 mg at lunch with a grapefruit blended in am and at lunch before the Rapa dose.
I am CONSIDERING redoing the 5 AM CLUB for 66 days (Book written by Robin Sharma that starts day at 5 am with 20min exercise/ 20 minutes mindfulness / 20 minutes of learning) - one of may favorite morning structured programs Also considering NMN and some gut repair options.
I have stopped lithium, mushroom blends added to coffee and extra supplements for now.
