EasyWeek — #biotracking

Continue my weekly posts about my health and so called biohacking routines and insights i’m getting from mindful approach to my health

Disclaimer #1: purpose of this post series is fist of all to create a weekly routine of self-reflection for myself. Secondly it also might be seen as a way of sharing insights i’m getting from following longevity and biohacking routines with my friends. I’m practicing mindful approach to my health for a while already and recently realised a need in tracking and capturing insights as well as some mean of sharing it

Disclaimer #2: I’m not an medical doctor and all my practices, insights and recommendations should be taken with a bit of scepticism and even suspicion ;)

Disclaimer #3: Each post in this serious consists of 2 parts: (i) 3 insights from the last week (ii) 3 actions for the coming week

(i) Weekly insights:

• (a) Less cardio improved average energy level: as planned this was an easy week with only one heavy cardio workout, rest of the days moderate resistance exercises (30–60 min). As the result together with other interventions my readiness Oura score finally reached reasonable level with week average around 88. Smth to celebrate ))
• (b) Supplements plan works but may influence metabolic flexibility: my set of Supplements worked very nicely this week keeping my energy level high with minumum coffee and carbs consumption. Only one thing that came across as surprise — the fact that i was not able to enter ketosis state despite average 20+ hours of fasting and and a lot of quality fats in my diet. As the result my Lumen Metabolic flexibility score is down to 10,4. Not sure i want to fix it as other metrics still very good.
• (c ) Go for science in sport: this week I had a testing in climbing gym by professional coach with quite a merit of science in it and a lot of measurements. In the same week my wife when to professional bike fitter and physician. On top of very direct input into your training routine such scientific approach gives a lot of interesting insights into general physical health. I get quite shocking understanding how weak my grip is and how deep my problems in shoulder mobility. Both are not only undermining results in a given sport but also are creating risks for day-to-day life quality. Looking forward to improve both based on adjustments I’m making to my training routines.

(iii) Next week commitments

• (a) Fasting: Last week I’ve done 2 fast of 40+ hours. That was a bit too thought and consumes a bit too much mental energy. This week I’ll switch just to regular 1–2 meals protocol with 18–20 hours of fasting daily.
• (b) DNA tests: expect results from at least 1 of DNA tests i’ve done recently
• (c ) Activities: continue with limited cardio and focus on resistance and stretch excretes to start improvement grip strength and shoulder mobility
