SupplementWeek — #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) Supplements: this week i made a pivot to more robust supplement plan. Nothing special — a bit more that 10–15 very standard supplement from good recommended brands (the best i can get shipped to Singapore nowadays). Immediate results is very visible — energy level and ease of getting through fasting hours. Regular 18–19 hours of fasting were much easier this week together with more stable blood sugar.
• (b) Overall measurement: gradual improvement of all key output measurements including sleep quality, stability of blood sugar (avoiding not only highs and also downs), overall level of energy. Improvements are not significant but tangible, see if i may do better. One thing i still struggle and improvements are insignificant so far is HVR and Oura readiness level.
• (c ) Food: This week realised how emotionally charged food consumption is. As usually this is very obvious however not less insightful idea. Breaking this emotional connection is ultimately is a great unlock for healthier mental state.

(iii) Next week commitments

• (a) Supplements: continue with new supplement protocol, will see how consistent improvements are.
• (b) Food: Plan to switch to single meal per day with 20–22 hours of fating and 2 days of 36 together with work on emotional connection to food.
• (c ) Activities: Given big ambition of fasting hours and consistent low HVR i decided to give myself relaxed week —with minimum aerobic workouts (2 instead of 6) leaving only resistant part (30 min on average).
