figured I’d put something here to explain what I actually do day-to-day so folks know the kind of practical stuff we’ll be talking about.
My Current Routine
- Breakfast: Big shake that’s a mix between overnight steel-cut oats and Bryan Johnson’s nutty pudding, plus my NOVOS stack and a few extras.
- Supplements: I take a couple more NOVOS things after checking my phone.
- Strength: A few lifts with 25-lb weights (different variations) to strengthen my back — I learned my weak back muscles were causing more sweat → acne.
- Shower + skincare: PanOxyl on my back.
- Throughout the day: Sunscreen, staying fairly active.
- Night: Adapalene on my face and back.
I’m tall, a bit underweight, and fairly active, so the real challenge is eating enough food consistently — not exercise.
My Approach
I basically find the weakest link and improve it in a sustainable way. Most things I figure out by watching how my body and mind respond.
If I need precision, I’ll use a watch, scale, or blood tests.
What’s Next
- Add daily walks (short and consistent).
- Possibly use dog-walking apps — that way I get full-body movement and get paid.
Why This Matters
I’d been slowly sliding into a fog since middle school through college.
Taking my health seriously has felt like getting my superpowers back — clearer mind, more energy, better mood.
I wish more people felt this way. You’re your own greatest weapon in this world; better keep it sharp.
3 Tiny Things That Helped Me Stay Consistent
- Make big calorie dense meals with variety you can prep the night before (so you don’t skip) and keep eating calorie dense foods and drinks throughout the day, I check what I'm doing occasionally with the app called cronometer.
- Short, regular strength moves (5–10 minutes, same time every day) to build base muscle — consistency > intensity.
- Pair a habit with a trigger: “put on shoes → 10-min walk” or “shake in blender → take morning supplements.”
Small chains beat willpower.
Not to mention sleep, I thought I slept well until I started to really analyze what my sleep scores and habits were like and how I felt before during after sleeping.
Definitely consistency over any one-time habits! Sure, once a year I can go for a day long hike, but that’s not going to change much.
My main struggle is integrating a balanced and varied diet in my every day life. I am making a point of avoiding basically-only-carbs meals and add both more proteins and more veggies. Long term goal is getting a more varied source of proteins too other than red meat.
