My Health Stack

I started tracking my health obsessively after realizing that small, consistent investments in your body compound over time - just like in technology and business. This is the result of years of research, experimentation, and optimization.

Before Supplements: The Foundation

Supplements optimize what's already working. But the real engine is nutrition. I live by four pillars - in this exact order of priority:

1

Calories

  • -Deficit = lose weight
  • -Maintenance = hold steady
  • -Surplus = gain weight
2

Macros

  • -Protein = builds muscle
  • -Carbs = fuels performance
  • -Fat = supports hormones
3

Food Quality

  • -Clean, whole foods
  • -Nutrient-dense sources
  • -The source matters
4

Water

  • -128 oz minimum daily
  • -Drives recovery & energy
  • -Reduces inflammation

Calories for weight · Macros for type · Clean food for health · Water for all

Movement: The Other Half

Nutrition decides what you weigh. Movement decides how you function. I personally train hypertrophy but switch based on what I'm training for. Whether your goal is aesthetics, longevity, performance, or all of the above, these four pillars apply to everyone.

Stability

This is the foundation everything else is built on. Joint stability, balance, and core strength prevent injury and keep you moving well. Without stability, adding strength is just building on a cracked foundation.

Strength

Resistance training preserves muscle mass, bone density, and metabolic health as you age. Focus on compound movements and progressive overload. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Zone 2 Cardio

This is low-intensity steady-state training where you can still hold a conversation. Think rowing, walking, or cycling. It builds mitochondrial efficiency and is the single best investment in cardiovascular longevity.

VO2 Max

High-intensity intervals that push your ceiling. VO2 max is the strongest correlate of all-cause mortality. Improving it literally extends your lifespan. It's hard but short. Once or twice a week is enough.

Stability first · Strength to preserve · Zone 2 for longevity · VO2 Max to extend it

Framework inspired by Dr. Peter Attia's approach to exercise for longevity.
