§ My Longevity Era · sung in a familiar key

These are a few of my Favourite things.

My actual practice, written down. The peptides, tools, rituals and routines I keep coming back to — what's working, what shifted things, and the science behind why each one earned its place.

    My food protocols

    The protocol only works as well as the foundation you build around it.

    Peptides are working at a cellular level — and your cells need the right raw materials to do anything with those signals.

    This is a real day of eating for me. Not a meal plan. Not a diet. Intention, every single time.

    Mornings start with water therapy — aloe vera, hydrogen water, turmeric-ginger-pepper, lemon, gooseberry, a tall celery juice. Breakfast is organic blueberries and banana in chia pudding with hemp protein, a spoon of maca, two Brazil nuts, one prune, supplements. Lunch is beetroot salad with stewed organic chicken, broccoli, peppers and bone broth. Dinner — grilled chicken, potatoes, salad, beans, hommous, a chilli on the side.

    The peptides do their work. The foundation is what makes them work harder.

    My morning protocols

    None of this is complicated. It just requires knowing the why.

    PowerPlate (whole-body vibration). Bosco's RCTs and what came after — muscle activation, bone density, lymphatic flow. Particularly relevant for women over 35.

    Rebounding. NASA found it 68% more efficient than running at improving cellular oxygen uptake. The vertical G-force is uniquely effective at moving lymph — no other exercise replicates it.

    Hydrogen therapy. Ohsawa et al., 2007, in Nature Medicine — molecular hydrogen as a selective antioxidant. A thousand-plus studies have replicated it since.

    Coffee timing. Caffeine during peak cortisol blunts cortisol's natural energising effect over time. Delay it until after breakfast and the morning lift stays intact.

    My skin protocols

    I stopped treating my skin from the outside and started thinking about it at a cellular level.

    I noticed the change gradually. Not dramatic — a subtle loss of that bounce and glow I'd always taken for granted. That's when I stopped treating my skin from the outside and started thinking about it at a cellular level.

    → Copper Peptide GHK-Cu — signals skin to rebuild collagen and elastin from within → Red light therapy — stimulates fibroblasts, the cells that actually produce collagen → Clean non-toxic products — less inflammation, less interference with the protocol → Diet — Vitamin C, Omega 3s, antioxidants. Every meal has a skin purpose.

    Collagen doesn't come back on its own after 35. But you can slow the decline — from the inside out, at a cellular level.

    My peptide protocols

    Something shifted when I stopped chasing how I looked and started paying attention to how I felt.

    Over the last year I've been following a peptide protocol with @longevity.uk.uae. Not chasing quick fixes. Giving my body back the signals it was missing.

    → Epithalon — longevity and cellular repair → Copper Peptide GHK-Cu — skin and inflammation → MOTS-c — the one that changed my energy → CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin — what I'm on right now → AOD-9604 — newest addition, early days

    Not chasing how I look. Paying attention to how I feel. The two start to look the same after a while.

    My hydrogen protocols

    Lately I've been leaning into simple things.

    Hydrogen is the smallest antioxidant molecule, which means it can enter cells and support the body in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

    Research in Medical Gas Research suggests hydrogen may support mitochondrial function, fatigue recovery, and neurological health.

    I use it three ways:

    • Hydrogen inhalation therapy (my favorite) • Hydrogen water bottles when I'm traveling • Hydrogen tablets for convenience

    Not a magic fix. A simple way I support my system when life feels a little heavier.

    My BioCharger protocol

    Doing everything right — and still hitting a wall.

    Healthy eating. Exercise. Sleep. The basics were locked — and I was still hitting a wall.

    The BioCharger isn't a wellness gadget. It's a platform that uses light, voltage, frequencies, and magnetic fields to recharge cells. Five to fifteen minutes, sitting still.

    → Energy that holds through the afternoon → Faster recovery between training days → Sleep that goes deeper, not just longer → A way to manage the chronic load life builds up

    It's the one I keep coming back to.

    My sleep protocols

    Most people are doing 'sleep hygiene' right and still waking at 2am.

    Magnesium glycinate. No screens after 9. Consistent bedtime. The basics were locked. I was still hitting a wall around full and new moons — waking at 2am, restless, no obvious reason.

    Three weeks of tracking, same pattern every time. Three things shifted it:

    → Cooled the mattress by 3 degrees. Body temperature is the real sleep lever — your core has to drop about a degree to hold deep sleep, and most bedrooms sabotage that.

    → Phosphatidylserine, 30 minutes before bed. Cortisol regulation isn't just a morning problem. Your stress hormones pulse through the night too, and this one targets the 2-3am spike.

    → Snooze from @leapfrogremedies — lactoferrin + Lactium. Lactium is a milk-derived protein shown in clinical studies to lower overnight cortisol; lactoferrin supports iron status, which quietly affects sleep depth in women over 40.

    Deep sleep went from 38 minutes a night to 82. Sleep scores up 12 points. The 2am wake-ups stopped — full moon or not.

    My inner child practice

    Your inner child isn't in the past. She's watching how you treat yourself right now.

    Alia said it. Kendall lived it. Justin sang with his younger self on stage. I needed the reminder too.

    Your inner child isn't in the past. She's watching how you treat yourself right now — every shortcut you take, every late night, every internal voice that says you should be doing more.

    Longevity isn't just protocols. It's whether you'd let her stay in the room while you spoke to yourself like that.

    The practice: ask her. Out loud, if you can. What would you tell yours?

§ Always evolving

The protocol changes as I learn. Follow along.

New posts, new data, new things I'm testing — every week. Whatever ends up earning a place in my daily practice eventually shows up here.
