Planes, trains, and automobiles.

A week of meetings that mattered, dinners that ran long, and ideas worth crossing an ocean for.

None of it happens without who built the itinerary and made every introduction count (ok you helped as well 😄) . We’ve found a real rhythm together: he helps founders build the business, I help them build the body. Two sides of the same bet on the people doing the work.

The London chapter of what we’re building is no longer a maybe. It’s a when.

And to the friends and family who keep me sharp and keep me honest when the pace gets loud thank you. None of this works without you. Thank you for holding down the home front while I am away.

More to build. More to give. Let’s get after it.

Stop paying more for the same ingredients just because the label is pink.

In the world of supplementation, gender-specific marketing is often more about profit than physiology. Take creatine, for example: the molecule works the same way in a female muscle cell as it does in a male one. There is no biological reason for a "women’s version" to exist—other than to justify a higher price point.

While hormonal differences between men and women are vital in clinical medicine, they rarely justify a different tub of powder.

If a supplement is marketed specifically to women and wasn't recommended by your clinician for a specific deficiency, you’re likely just paying a "pink tax." Stick to the science, buy the standard version, and keep your money.

Is there a drug that can actually make you live longer?

Rapamycin may be the answer. Originally a transplant medication, recent studies have shown it can extend the lifespan of mice by as much as 40%.

Think of it as a biological "oil change." By inhibiting a pathway called mTOR, it helps the body clear out the "old gunk"—damaged cells that accumulate as we age—effectively resetting your biological clock.

While we are still bridging the gap from mice to humans, mTOR inhibitors represent some of the most exciting new science in the field of longevity.

Liver disease is often a silent passenger, showing no signs until it reaches an advanced stage.

Using FibroScan allows us to measure liver stiffness and combine it with lab data to get a real look at your metabolic health. Whether the path forward involves GLP-1s, weight management, or better sleep, the strategy only works if we have the full picture.

You can't treat what you haven't measured.

Sleep advice is everywhere, and much of it gets reduced to quick fixes.

Some recommendations are grounded in physiology — limiting screens before bed, maintaining a cool and dark sleep environment, and using data from wearables to identify patterns. Others are overstated or highly individualized. A sleep score does not outweigh how you actually feel, and no single tactic replaces consistent sleep hygiene.

The goal isn’t to chase hacks. It’s to understand the mechanisms that regulate sleep and apply them with intention.

Three scoops. Collagen. PBfit. Extra powder “just in case.”

Let’s add some perspective.

Protein shakes aren’t the problem. They’re convenient, effective, and useful when whole food isn’t practical. But more isn’t automatically better. Most people can effectively utilize about 40-50 grams of protein in one sitting for muscle protein synthesis. Beyond that, you’re not “unlocking bonus gains.”

Predigested protein powders move quickly through the GI tract. Compare that to a steak, which digests more slowly and provides a steadier release of amino acids over time. Your body can use large amounts of protein from whole foods — but that doesn’t mean cramming 90 grams into a shake is doing extra work for you.

Protein is important. Precision matters more than excess.

Smashing garlic cloves and swallowing them to fight a cold? Let’s unpack that.

Garlic does contain allicin, a compound with some antibacterial and antiviral properties, but the amount you get from two cloves isn’t enough to stop a viral infection in its tracks. Colds and flus typically run their course in a few days, no matter how “natural” the remedy sounds.

Quick, cheap, and viral doesn’t always equal effective. Real immune support is about science, context, and understanding how your body actually fights illness.

Sleep remains one of the most underestimated drivers of long-term health.

Research continues to associate poor sleep with shortened life expectancy, and the biological rationale is clear. Deep sleep supports growth hormone release, cellular repair, metabolic regulation, and neurological recovery. With age, the ability to sustain these deeper stages declines — making sleep quality even more consequential.

Alcohol, caffeine, and frequent disruptions don’t just affect how rested you feel the next day. They influence the body’s capacity to repair and regenerate.

Sleep is not optional optimization. It is a core determinant of healthspan.

Most health insurance decisions aren’t made with patients in mind—they’re made to maximize shareholder value.

Your health is your greatest asset, yet the system waits until something breaks.

Taking ownership means using every tool and resource available to prevent problems, make informed decisions, and stay ahead of your health.

Jet lag is something my executive patients are told to just accept. I don’t agree.

If you’re traveling across time zones, there are ways to stay sharp instead of powering through the fog. I often recommend building a plan before you leave, using tools like Timeshifter to map the transition, shifting your sleep schedule a few days in advance, and speaking with a clinician about whether targeted support could help you adapt more smoothly.

When you prepare intentionally, you can significantly reduce the effects of jet lag and arrive in an optimal state, ready to perform instead of recover.
