THE COMPLETE HEALTHMAXXING MEGA THREAD
(Stop fucking sabotaging your body and calling it genetics)
SLEEP • NUTRITION • TRAINING • CARDIO • SKIN • TEETH • HAIR • HORMONES • BRAIN • HEART • POSTURE • HYGIENE • PREVENTION • RECOVERY
The boring shit is the shit that actually works.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Healthmaxxing isn't swallowing 14 supplements and praying your bloodwork
comes back looking like a superhero's.
Your body is a biological system.
Sleep affects recovery.
Food affects energy and nutrient status.
Exercise affects cardiovascular fitness, muscle, bone and mental health.
Oral hygiene affects your teeth and gums.
Sun exposure affects your skin.
Stress affects your behavior, sleep and general functioning.
Smoking and drugs can fuck up almost everything on this list.
The biggest mistake people make is hunting for some obscure 1% intervention
while completely ignoring the giant fucking 80/20 sitting in front of them.
You don't need a mysterious "longevity stack" if you're sleeping 5 hours,
never exercising, eating garbage, smoking and ignoring your dentist.
Fix the fundamentals first.
This thread covers the major controllable areas of health and gives you a
practical hierarchy for what deserves your attention.
The hierarchy is simple:
1. Sleep
2. Nutrition
3. Physical activity
4. Cardiovascular fitness
5. Strength / muscle / bone health
6. Oral health
7. Skin + sun protection
8. Mental health + stress
9. Avoiding smoking / excessive alcohol / recreational drugs
10. Preventive healthcare
11. Hygiene
12. Recovery
13. Environment
14. Supplements — ONLY where they actually make sense
If you're doing number 14 while failing numbers 1–10, you're fucking
around.
If your sleep is trash, start here.
Sleep isn't just "rest."
It's involved in:
– Recovery
– Cognitive performance
– Mood
– Learning
– Immune function
– Metabolic regulation
– Hormonal regulation
– Physical performance
– Appetite regulation
Stop bragging about functioning on 5 hours.
You're not built different.
You're tired.
THE BASIC PROTOCOL
– Keep a consistent wake time.
– Give yourself enough time in bed for your age.
– Keep the bedroom dark and comfortable.
– Avoid turning your bed into an entertainment center.
– Get daylight during the day.
– Exercise regularly.
– Avoid caffeine too late in the day.
– Don't make alcohol your sleep medication.
THE IMPORTANT PART:
Don't obsess over some magical "perfect" bedroom temperature or a
ridiculous supplement stack.
The biggest win is simply getting enough quality sleep consistently.
If you're sleeping 5 hours and buying magnesium because you think it
will compensate, you're trying to repair a sinking ship with fucking tape.
IF YOU HAVE:
– Loud habitual snoring
– Gasping/choking during sleep
– Extreme daytime sleepiness
– Persistent insomnia
– Repeated nighttime awakenings
– Major difficulty functioning despite enough time in bed
get the problem evaluated instead of trying to biohack your way around it.
SLEEP TL;DR:
Consistent schedule.
Enough sleep.
Dark room.
Reasonable temperature.
Daylight.
Exercise.
Caffeine under control.
You don't need a mystical diet.
You need enough nutrients and a diet you can actually sustain.
Build the majority of your diet around:
PROTEIN
– Meat
– Fish
– Eggs
– Dairy
– Beans
– Lentils
– Other protein-rich foods
FRUIT + VEGETABLES
– Variety > eating the same vegetable every day
– Different colors = different nutrient profiles
CARBOHYDRATES
– Potatoes
– Rice
– Oats
– Whole grains
– Fruit
– Other minimally processed carbohydrate sources
FATS
– Nuts
– Seeds
– Olive oil
– Fish
– Avocado
– Other nutrient-dense sources
THE BASIC RULE:
Eat mostly actual food, get enough protein, eat plants, and stop making
ultra-processed food the foundation of your diet.
You don't need to fear carbohydrates.
You don't need to fear dietary fat.
You don't need to eliminate every food containing sugar.
And you absolutely don't need to starve yourself because some forum retard
told you being skeletal automatically equals "healthy."
HEALTH ≠ BEING AS LEAN AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
If you're still growing, don't run aggressive cuts or starvation diets
without appropriate professional guidance.
Your body needs energy and nutrients to grow.
HYDRATION
Drink enough fluids to stay hydrated.
You generally don't need to carry around a gallon jug and piss completely
clear every five minutes.
If you're thirsty, drink.
More water isn't automatically more healthy.
MICRONUTRIENTS
A varied diet makes it easier to obtain:
– Iron
– Calcium
– Magnesium
– Potassium
– Zinc
– Iodine
– Folate
– Vitamin B12
– Vitamin C
– Vitamin A
– Vitamin D
– Vitamin E
– Vitamin K
If you have a deficiency, that's a different situation.
Fix the deficiency instead of blindly megadosing everything.
Muscle is health equipment.
It isn't only about looking bigger.
Maintaining muscle supports:
– Strength
– Physical function
– Mobility
– Bone loading
– Physical independence
– Exercise capacity
THE RULE:
Train your major muscle groups consistently.
You don't need a fucking laboratory to make progress.
BEGINNER:
Learn basic movement patterns.
PUSH
– Push-ups
– Bench press
– Overhead pressing
PULL
– Rows
– Pull-ups
– Pulldowns
LEGS
– Squats
– Split squats
– Lunges
– Hinges
CORE
– Planks
– Carries
– Controlled trunk exercises
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
Over time:
– More reps
– More resistance
– Better technique
– More difficult variations
– Better control
You don't need to destroy yourself every session.
TRAIN → RECOVER → ADAPT → REPEAT.
If you're constantly injured because you think every workout needs to feel
like a fucking car crash, you're doing it wrong.
Stop treating cardio like punishment.
Your cardiovascular system is literally responsible for delivering oxygen
and nutrients around your body.
Regular physical activity improves cardiovascular fitness and is associated
with major health benefits. WHO recommends adults accumulate 150–300
minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, or 75–150 minutes of vigorous
activity, alongside muscle-strengthening activity on 2+ days.
For ages 5–17, WHO recommends an average of at least 60 minutes of
moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day across the week, with
vigorous aerobic and muscle/bone-strengthening activity included at least
3 days per week.
SIMPLE CARDIO OPTIONS:
– Walking
– Cycling
– Running
– Swimming
– Hiking
– Rowing
– Sports
– Martial arts
ZONE 2 / EASY CARDIO
Useful for building aerobic capacity without turning every session into
hell.
You should be able to maintain a conversation with some effort.
HARD CARDIO
Intervals and vigorous work have their place.
But don't turn every fucking workout into a maximal test.
THE GOAL:
Become the guy who can climb stairs, run, walk, train and recover without
feeling like his lungs are trying to escape.
Bones are living tissue.
They respond to mechanical loading, nutrition and hormonal factors.
WHAT HELPS:
– Resistance training
– Weight-bearing activity
– Adequate calcium
– Adequate vitamin D
– Adequate protein
– Adequate overall nutrition
– Avoiding smoking
– Maintaining appropriate body composition
For younger people, regular physical activity supports bone health and
healthy growth and development. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
WHAT DOESN'T HELP:
Randomly hitting your face with fucking hammers.
"Bone remodeling" does not mean deliberately injuring yourself is a
guaranteed way to create an attractive skeleton.
Train.
Eat.
Sleep.
Let your body adapt normally.
Don't confuse biological remodeling with controlled aesthetic
engineering.
You can have a good jawline and still have a shitty cardiovascular
system.
Health isn't just visible.
Important fundamentals:
– Don't smoke.
– Avoid nicotine dependence.
– Stay physically active.
– Maintain a reasonable body composition.
– Eat a nutrient-dense diet.
– Get adequate sleep.
– Manage blood pressure.
– Know your family history.
– Get appropriate medical screening.
Physical activity is associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease,
hypertension and other chronic diseases. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure can exist without obvious symptoms.
That's why checking it periodically is useful.
If you're consistently getting abnormal readings, don't just say:
"probably cortisol bro."
Get it checked properly.
YOUR HEART DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR LOOKSMAX SCORE.
Brush your fucking teeth.
Seriously.
BASIC ROUTINE:
Morning:
– Brush
Night:
– Brush
– Clean between teeth
Use fluoride toothpaste unless a dental professional has given you a
different recommendation.
FLOSS / INTERDENTAL CLEANING
Your toothbrush doesn't properly clean every surface between teeth.
Use:
– Floss
– Interdental brushes
– Other dentist-recommended interdental cleaning
DENTIST
Go for routine dental care appropriate to your needs.
Don't wait until you're in unbearable pain.
A cavity isn't going to magically respect your aesthetics.
TEETH ARE PART OF YOUR FACE.
Healthy teeth + healthy gums + clean breath will do more for your
presentation than some ridiculous "oral posture hack" you saw at 3 AM.
SKIN HEALTH ≠ HAVING PERFECT SKIN.
The goal is healthy skin with minimal unnecessary damage.
BASIC ROUTINE:
Morning:
– Gentle cleanse if needed
– Moisturizer if needed
– Sunscreen
Night:
– Cleanse
– Moisturize
IF ACNE EXISTS:
Don't pick it.
Don't repeatedly scrub it.
Don't throw 14 active ingredients onto your face simultaneously.
If acne is persistent, severe, painful or scarring:
see a dermatologist.
SUN EXPOSURE
Sunlight isn't evil.
But excessive UV exposure damages skin and increases skin-cancer risk.
Use sensible sun protection:
– Shade
– Clothing
– Hat
– Sunscreen when appropriate
You don't need to fry yourself red to "look healthy."
A tan isn't worth deliberately accelerating skin damage.
HAIR HEALTH IS MOSTLY ABOUT NOT FUCKING UP YOUR SCALP.
Basic routine:
– Wash according to your scalp's oiliness
– Don't aggressively scratch your scalp
– Don't constantly rip through wet hair
– Keep styling products under control
– Avoid unnecessary chemical/heat damage
– Eat adequately
HAIR LOSS
If you're experiencing significant shedding, recession or sudden changes,
don't immediately buy a random internet stack.
Possible causes include:
– Genetics
– Nutritional problems
– Stress
– Illness
– Hormonal factors
– Medications
– Scalp conditions
Figure out the cause.
A random supplement isn't a diagnostic test.
This costs almost nothing.
DAILY:
– Shower appropriately
– Wash your face
– Brush teeth
– Clean between teeth
– Use deodorant if needed
– Wear clean clothes
– Change underwear
– Keep nails clean
– Wash hands regularly
FEET:
– Keep them clean
– Dry them properly
– Change socks
– Don't spend every day in disgusting wet footwear
LAUNDRY:
Your body can be perfectly clean and your clothes can still smell like
absolute fucking death.
Wash them.
BEDDING:
Change sheets regularly.
HANDS:
Wash them after using the toilet, before eating/preparing food and whenever
they're visibly dirty.
This isn't glamorous.
It's just basic civilization.
POSTURE ISN'T A PERMANENT CHARACTER STAT.
Your body changes position constantly.
The goal isn't to maintain one robotic pose 24/7.
THE REAL HEALTH PILL:
Move regularly.
If you've been sitting for hours:
GET THE FUCK UP.
Walk.
Stretch if it feels good.
Change position.
Strengthen your body.
Train the muscles involved in movements you care about.
MOBILITY BASICS:
– Ankles
– Hips
– Thoracic spine
– Shoulders
– Neck
You don't need a 90-minute mobility ritual.
A few minutes of useful movement is better than sitting completely still
for six hours and then performing an elaborate "posture reset."
Your brain is part of your fucking body.
Treat it accordingly.
BIGGEST WINS:
– Sleep enough
– Exercise
– Eat adequately
– Learn difficult things
– Maintain social connections
– Avoid substance abuse
– Manage chronic stress
– Protect your head during high-risk activities
LEARNING
Read.
Study.
Practice.
Solve problems.
Learn skills.
Don't confuse watching 400 "brain optimization" videos with actually
training your brain.
ACTIVE LEARNING > CONSUMING CONTENT ABOUT LEARNING.
MENTAL HEALTH IS HEALTH.
You don't get bonus points for being miserable.
Stress is part of life.
Chronic uncontrolled stress is another matter.
USEFUL BASICS:
– Sleep
– Exercise
– Sunlight/daylight
– Social contact
– Regular meals
– Structure
– Time away from screens
– Hobbies
– Meaningful goals
If anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior, severe mood changes or other
mental-health problems are interfering with your life:
talk to a qualified professional.
There is nothing "high T" about refusing help until your life collapses.
Being functional is more masculine than being fucking miserable.
Stop treating humans like an optional DLC.
Healthy social relationships matter.
DO THIS:
– Talk to people
– Maintain friendships
– Spend time with family when appropriate
– Join activities
– Play sports
– Develop hobbies
– Learn to listen
– Learn to disagree without becoming a lunatic
– Don't isolate yourself for months
SOCIAL FITNESS IS A SKILL.
You get better by actually interacting.
Not by watching charisma videos for six hours.
Not by calculating your eye contact angle.
Not by trying to memorize 47 conversation scripts.
GO OUTSIDE AND TALK TO FUCKING PEOPLE.
BASIC SEXUAL HEALTH > FORUM SEXUAL MYTHOLOGY
Know basic anatomy.
Understand consent.
Use protection when appropriate.
Get tested when appropriate.
Don't treat porn as a biological instruction manual.
CONDOMS
Use them correctly when appropriate for STI/pregnancy prevention.
STI TESTING
Testing should be based on your sexual activity, partners and risk profile.
If you have symptoms:
GET TESTED.
Don't diagnose yourself from some forum post.
ERECTION / LIBIDO PROBLEMS
Occasional variation is normal.
Persistent problems can have psychological, vascular, hormonal,
medication-related or other causes.
If something consistently isn't working:
doctor > forum bro science.
SMOKING ISN'T A FUCKING HEALTH HACK.
Neither is heavy drinking.
Neither is recreational drug abuse.
Neither is abusing prescription medication because some guy online said
it increases performance.
NICOTINE
Nicotine dependence can become extremely difficult to break.
If you don't use nicotine:
don't start.
ALCOHOL
Less is generally better for health.
Don't use alcohol as:
– Sleep medication
– Anxiety treatment
– Social lubricant every night
– Stress management
DRUGS
Unknown substances + unknown dose + unknown purity = terrible fucking
experiment.
If you're using something regularly and can't stop:
that's a health problem, not a character flaw.
Get help.
CAFFEINE IS USEFUL. IT IS ALSO VERY EASY TO ABUSE.
Coffee can improve alertness and performance.
The problem starts when:
TIRED → CAFFEINE → LESS SLEEP → MORE TIRED → MORE CAFFEINE
Congratulations.
You've built a fucking hamster wheel.
RULES:
– Don't use caffeine to permanently replace sleep.
– Be aware of how late you consume it.
– If you're sensitive, use less.
– Don't assume more = better.
If caffeine destroys your sleep:
your caffeine strategy is shit.
SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT MAGIC.
A supplement can be useful when it:
1. Corrects a deficiency
2. Fills a legitimate dietary gap
3. Has evidence for a specific goal
4. Is used at a sensible dose
Potentially useful examples depending on the individual:
– Vitamin D when intake/sun exposure is insufficient or deficiency exists
– Iron when deficiency exists
– B12 in situations where intake is insufficient
– Calcium when dietary intake is inadequate
– Creatine for exercise performance in appropriate people
– Protein powder when convenient protein intake is difficult
THE WRONG APPROACH:
"Take 19 supplements because each one gives 2% improvement."
No.
You're just turning your kitchen into a fucking pharmacy.
MORE SUPPLEMENTS ≠ MORE HEALTH.
Some vitamins/minerals can cause harm when taken in excessive amounts.
If you're considering high-dose supplementation:
know why you're taking it.
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM DOES NOT NEED A FUCKING 37-SUPPLEMENT STACK.
Basic infection prevention still matters.
DO THE BORING SHIT:
– Sleep enough
– Eat adequately
– Exercise
– Wash hands
– Stay home when appropriately sick
– Follow recommended vaccinations
– Maintain dental hygiene
– Avoid smoking
– Manage chronic conditions
Good nutrition supports normal immune function, and CDC also emphasizes
adequate sleep, physical activity and avoiding smoking as important healthy
habits. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
VACCINES
Keep routine vaccinations up to date according to your country's
recommendations and your medical situation.
This is prevention.
Not weakness.
THIS IS WHERE THE REAL LONG-TERM HEALTHMAXXING LIVES.
You cannot optimize what you never measure.
Depending on your age, sex, family history and risk factors, appropriate
preventive care can include:
– Blood pressure
– Vaccination status
– Dental examinations
– Vision checks
– Hearing checks
– Mental-health screening
– Appropriate cancer screening
– Relevant blood tests when indicated
– Sexual-health testing when appropriate
DON'T ORDER 900 BLOOD TESTS JUST TO FEEL LIKE A BIOHACKER.
Testing should answer a useful question.
If a doctor recommends a test because of symptoms, family history or risk
factors:
do the fucking test.
If some influencer tells you that you need 38 biomarkers every Tuesday:
ask why.
BLOODWORK IS A TOOL, NOT A PERSONALITY.
Depending on the person and reason for testing, clinicians may evaluate
things such as:
CBC
General blood-cell information.
IRON STATUS
Useful when iron deficiency or excess is suspected.
GLUCOSE / METABOLIC MARKERS
Relevant to metabolic health when indicated.
LIPIDS
Relevant to cardiovascular risk assessment.
THYROID TESTING
Useful when symptoms or clinical circumstances justify it.
LIVER / KIDNEY MARKERS
Useful when clinically indicated.
HORMONES
Should be interpreted in context.
IMPORTANT:
One number outside a reference range doesn't automatically mean you're
dying.
One number inside a reference range doesn't automatically mean you're
perfectly healthy.
Context matters.
YOU DON'T GET TO REPLACE YOUR EYEBALLS WHEN THEY'RE FUCKED.
Protect them.
DO:
– Get vision checked when appropriate
– Wear prescribed corrective lenses
– Use appropriate eye protection for dangerous work
– Wear sunglasses that provide UV protection when appropriate
– Take reasonable breaks during prolonged near work
– Avoid staring at extremely bright sources
Screens don't magically burn your eyes out.
But staring at one for ten hours without moving around can contribute to
eye strain and discomfort.
If your vision suddenly changes, hurts, flashes or loses part of its
field, don't wait for a forum diagnosis.
STOP BLASTING MUSIC INTO YOUR EARS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL THEM.
Repeated exposure to loud sound can damage hearing.
PRACTICAL RULES:
– Keep headphone volume reasonable.
– Give your ears breaks.
– Use hearing protection around loud machinery/concerts.
– Don't ignore persistent ringing.
– Get hearing evaluated if you're noticing deterioration.
You can buy another pair of headphones.
You can't casually buy replacement cochleae.
SUNLIGHT ≠ ENEMY.]
BUT UV DAMAGE IS REAL.
Sun exposure contributes to skin aging and increases skin-cancer risk.
USE COMMON FUCKING SENSE:
– Avoid unnecessary prolonged intense exposure.
– Use shade.
– Wear protective clothing.
– Use sunscreen when appropriate.
– Don't intentionally burn.
You don't need to become a vampire.
You also don't need to cook yourself like a rotisserie chicken.
RECOVERY IS PART OF TRAINING.
You don't become stronger while endlessly destroying yourself.
You become stronger through:
TRAINING
+
RECOVERY
+
NUTRITION
+
ADAPTATION
Signs you're pushing too hard can include:
– Persistent fatigue
– Performance decline
– Irritability
– Poor sleep
– Persistent soreness
– Repeated injuries
– Loss of motivation
THE SOLUTION ISN'T ALWAYS "MORE DISCIPLINE."
Sometimes your body is telling you:
"BROTHER, FUCKING REST."
WALKING IS UNDERRATED AS FUCK.
You don't need every calorie burned to come from a gym.
Walk.
Take stairs when appropriate.
Walk to places.
Go outside.
Break up long periods of sitting.
WHO emphasizes that all physical activity counts and that replacing
sedentary time with movement provides health benefits. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
DON'T OBSESS OVER A MAGIC STEP NUMBER.
10,000 isn't a biological commandment.
The important part is:
MOVE MORE → SIT LESS → BUILD FITNESS.
YOUR ENVIRONMENT CAN FUCK WITH YOUR HEALTH TOO.
AIR
Avoid unnecessary exposure to smoke and polluted air.
Ventilate indoor spaces appropriately.
WATER
Drink safe water.
CHEMICALS
Follow labels and safety instructions.
Don't mix random cleaning chemicals because you saw some "life hack."
NOISE
Protect your hearing.
SLEEP ENVIRONMENT
Dark.
Comfortable.
Quiet.
Cool enough to sleep comfortably.
YOUR BEDROOM SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE A FUCKING CASINO.
HEALTHMAXXING WHILE GIVING YOURSELF FOOD POISONING IS A FUNNY
CONTRADICTION.
BASIC RULES:
– Wash hands before preparing food.
– Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat food.
– Cook foods properly.
– Refrigerate perishables appropriately.
– Don't knowingly eat spoiled food.
– Keep kitchen surfaces clean.
RAW CHICKEN IS NOT A PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT.
STOP TRYING TO MAKE EVERY HUMAN LOOK LIKE A SHREDDED FITNESS MODEL.
Healthy body composition varies.
If you need to lose body fat:
use a sustainable calorie deficit.
If you need to gain weight:
use an appropriate calorie surplus.
Train.
Eat enough protein.
Sleep.
Repeat.
EXTREME DIETS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY BETTER.
Especially if you're young or still growing, aggressive dieting can be a
terrible idea.
Health first.
A slightly slower result that you can maintain beats a dramatic result
followed by fucking yourself up.
YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM IS NOT A DETOX MACHINE.
You don't need:
– Juice cleanses
– Colon cleanses
– Random laxatives
– "Parasite detoxes"
– 14 probiotics at once
BASIC GUT HEALTH:
– Eat enough fiber
– Eat a variety of plant foods
– Stay hydrated
– Exercise
– Sleep
– Avoid unnecessary restrictive diets
If you have persistent:
– Blood in stool
– Severe abdominal pain
– Persistent diarrhea
– Persistent constipation
– Unexplained weight loss
– Repeated vomiting
get medical evaluation.
Don't call it "gut imbalance" and buy another powder.
YOUR NECK WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE PERMANENTLY BENT OVER A PHONE.
If you're studying or gaming:
– Adjust your chair.
– Position the screen reasonably.
– Change position.
– Stand up.
– Walk around.
– Move your neck and shoulders naturally.
DON'T CHASE PERFECT POSTURE.
There isn't one sacred position that prevents every pain problem.
VARIETY OF MOVEMENT > RIGIDITY.
THE BEST INJURY IS THE ONE YOU DON'T FUCKING GET.
Before demanding more from your body:
– Learn technique.
– Increase training gradually.
– Warm up if useful.
– Use appropriate equipment.
– Don't ignore pain that is severe or worsening.
– Recover adequately.
PAIN IS NOT ALWAYS GROWTH.
Sharp pain, neurological symptoms, major swelling, deformity or inability
to use a body part appropriately deserves proper assessment.
KNOW WHEN TO STOP FUCKING AROUND.
Emergency situations can include things such as:
– Severe difficulty breathing
– Chest pain with concerning symptoms
– Severe bleeding
– Loss of consciousness
– Seizure
– Signs of stroke
– Severe allergic reaction
– Major trauma
CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER.
Don't open a forum thread asking:
"guys is this normal?"
while someone is actively losing consciousness.
YOU WANT LONGEVITY? HERE'S THE BORING FUCKING ANSWER.
Don't smoke.
Stay active.
Maintain healthy cardiovascular fitness.
Strength train.
Eat a varied diet.
Sleep enough.
Maintain healthy relationships.
Avoid excessive alcohol.
Don't abuse drugs.
Use preventive healthcare.
Protect your skin.
Protect your teeth.
Protect your hearing.
Manage chronic medical conditions.
THERE IS NO SECRET NPC DIALOGUE OPTION THAT UNLOCKS 140 YEARS OF LIFE.
The boring fundamentals have survived every generation of biohackers
because they're actually useful.

[ ] Did I talk to actual humans?
[ ] Did I do something enjoyable?
[ ] Did I avoid unnecessary substances?
[ ] Did I recover properly?
[ ] Did I notice any health issue I've been ignoring?
If half the boxes are unchecked, don't start researching peptides.
Fix the fucking checklist.
COPE #1:
"I have bad genetics."
Maybe.
But genetics aren't an excuse to smoke, sleep 5 hours and never exercise.
COPE #2:
"I need supplements first."
No.
COPE #3:
"I need to be shredded."
Not necessarily.
COPE #4:
"I don't need cardio because I lift."
Cardio and resistance training aren't interchangeable.
COPE #5:
"I sleep badly but I'm used to it."
Being accustomed to something doesn't make it optimal.
COPE #6:
"I don't need a dentist because my teeth don't hurt."
Pain isn't the only reason dental problems exist.
COPE #7:
"I'll fix my health when I'm older."
That's fucking backwards.
Build good habits while they're easy.
COPE #8:
"I need the newest longevity compound."
You probably need to go for a walk.

FINAL WORD
You don't need to become a fucking laboratory rat.
You need to become consistent.
