Biohacked Cardiovascular Longevity
A program to optimize cardiovascular health for longevity, incorporating biohacking techniques, functional medicine, and conventional approaches. Focuses on circadian biology, mitochondrial health, and addressing root causes of cardiovascular disease. Consult with healthcare professionals before making significant dietary or lifestyle changes, and monitor for potential stress or anxiety related to adherence. Consider joining a support group or online forum for motivation and encouragement.
Program Modules
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
Assess your cardiovascular risk through various lab tests and imaging techniques to personalize the program.
Lipoprotein(a) Test
YearlyCheck lipoprotein(a) levels to assess genetic predisposition to vascular risk. This test helps understand your baseline risk.
โIf I only had to pick three and it's somebody who's never had Advanced blood work done I would check lipoprotein little because up to 20% of population has it and it's the number one genetically inherited particle that increases vascular riskโ
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Test
YearlyCheck hs-CRP levels to assess inflammation levels. Understanding inflammation is crucial for cardiovascular health.
โThe second lab I probably reject would be hscp it's not perfect but it's a rough estimate that you know how active is your immune system.โ
Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) Test
YearlyCheck ADMA levels to assess nitric oxide production. This provides insights into endothelial function.
โThe third lab I probably would check something that affects nitric oxide I probably would look at adma asymmetric dith Arginineโ
Nitric Oxide Test Strips
WeeklyUse nitric oxide test strips to monitor nitric oxide levels regularly.
Optimize Circadian Rhythm for Heart Health
Establish a healthy circadian rhythm to regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular function. Habit Stacking: View sunrise immediately after waking up. Implementation Intention: If I wake up before sunrise, I will open my blinds to let in early morning light.
View Sunrise Daily
DailySee the sunrise within 30 minutes of it occurring to set your body clock.
โI see every single sunrise to set my super cosmetic nucleus and tell the rest of my body clocks what time of day it is.โ
View Sunset Daily
DailyView the sunset to signal the end of the day to your body.
โI see every single sunrise to set my super cosmetic nucleus and tell the rest of my body clocks what time of day it is.โ
Block Blue Light at Night
DailyUse blue-light blocking glasses or dim lighting in the evening to prepare for sleep. Cue/Trigger: Place blue-light blocking glasses next to your bed as a reminder to wear them each evening.
โBlock your artificial light at night. You can do it naturally or you get the biohacker glasses and just do what you need to do at night time.โ
Sleep in a Cool, Dark Room
DailyMaintain a cool (68ยฐF or lower), dark sleep environment.
โI tend to recommend people you know sleep in a dark cool cave.โ
Nutrition for Cardiovascular Health
Optimize diet to reduce inflammation, support mitochondrial function, and promote a healthy glyco Kix.
Time-Restricted Eating
DailyRestrict eating to a specific window of time, ideally between sunrise and sunset. Prioritize earlier dinners.
โOptimal feeding window from my standpoint is sun up to sun down.โ
Adequate Protein Intake
DailyConsume at least 90 grams of protein daily to maintain muscle mass.
โGetting enough protein in to maintain the muscle mass that they want to hold onto their frame and most people undereat their protein requirements they need at least 90 grams of protein a day just to maintain their muscle massโ
Consume Omega-3 Rich Foods
WeeklyInclude high-quality seafood, lamb, or macadamia nuts in your diet for DHA intake.
โOptimally they need DHA for the REA which is approximately 60% DHA and the brain is approximately 30% DHA so getting high quality seafood into them or lamb or macadamia nuts if they're not going to eat enough seafoodโ
Arterosil Supplementation
DailyConsider taking Arterosil supplement to support the glyco Kix lining of arteries.
โArterosil is a bunch of different plant compounds that have a whole bunch of research that that they make that slippery lining.โ
Dietary Choices Reflection
WeeklyReflect on your dietary choices and their impact on cardiovascular health. Consider journaling your food intake and any associated symptoms.
Exercise for Cardiovascular Health
Incorporate strength training and cardio to improve mitochondrial function and reduce cardiovascular risk.
Strength Training
WeeklyPerform strength training exercises at least twice a week.
โSome type of strength resistance work hopefully at least twice a weekโ
Zone 2 Cardio
WeeklyEngage in Zone 2 cardio training to improve mitochondrial base work.
โStarting with getting be able to do some zone two type of training just try to get some mitochondrial base work doneโ
Grounding/Earthing
DailySpend time barefoot on the earth to reduce inflammation and thin the blood. While the benefits are anecdotal, some find it beneficial. Consider the activity a form of mindfulness and stress reduction. Acknowledge potential placebo effects.
โGrounding helps thin the blood and then if people are going to take you know more kind of standard approaches aspirin potentially helps ninas potentially helps serapeptase as well probablyโ
Hormone Optimization for Cardiovascular Health
Optimize thyroid and testosterone levels to support metabolism and cardiovascular function. Always consult with a healthcare professional before considering hormone replacement therapy.
Check Thyroid Hormone Levels
YearlyGet your thyroid hormone levels checked, including TSH, free T4, free T3, and thyroid antibodies.
โI check thyroid hormones in every single patient now not only because you know it affects your metabolism but if your thyroid becomes dysfunctional and hypothyroid underactive it starts affecting your lipoproteinsโ
Cold Exposure
WeeklyIncorporate cold showers, cold plunges, or cold baths to optimize circadian rhythms and potentially improve cardiovascular health.
โIf people don't have access to those things then teaching them how to do you know cold showers appropriately cold plunges or just cold bass at night so that their body temperatur droppingโ
Social Connection
Connect with others for support and accountability.
Join Online Forum
MonthlyJoin an online forum or community focused on cardiovascular health and longevity.

WeeklyShare your progress and challenges with a friend or family member weekly.
