Let’s make longevity your edge! 

Connect with me for the latest on longevity and peak performance optimization.

I removed 90% of my killer stress in one week.

But it took me 10 years to get there. 

Here's what finally worked:

For a decade, harmful chronic stress controlled my life.

I'm not talking about the beneficial kind that motivates you in the right direction.

I was a founder, exec, and then a high-paid consultant.

No boss, but still living on edge.

My job? Fix broken product teams, deliver overnight wins, smash KPIs for investors.

The money was good. My performance was strong.

But I was running on caffeine, adrenaline, and fear.

I told myself I was thriving.

The reality? I was stuck in a loop of unhealthy stress.

My sleep sucked. 
My habits broke down. 
My relationships suffered.

I thought I could outwork it. 

I tried to compensate with achievement and bank balance.

Then my dad died suddenly end of last year.

That shock forced me to stare at my life in the mirror.

I realized fear was my fuel. Not passion. Not purpose.

Fear of losing everything, fear of living in poverty.

Childhood memories of moving to Germany with my mom and a suitcase.

Never feeling safe, always chasing security.

Before my decision I spent 1.5 years in therapy, deep talks with my wife and friends, and journaling.

I made the leap: 

I quit my high-paying consulting gigs.

No next gig lined up. 

No plan.

Only one decision: I would stop ignoring what my body and mind had been 
screaming for years.

Taking the time to find something I really wanted to do with my life.

Not working out of fear but because of an actual meaning and higher calling.

The result?

Within a week, my stress dropped dramatically (I'd say about 90% subjectively).

My wife noticed first.

I was calm, present, not snapping at every little thing.

Friends asked what had changed. 

My HRV numbers shot up 40%.

I felt peace for the first time in years.

But here's the twist:

The breakthrough took 10 years of searching, failing, and finally listening to myself.

Actual relief came in one week.

But only after a decade of running from the truth.

The best part is that this relief remained with me as I discovered my calling in longevity and health.

Even though I sometimes still work long hours, the negative, destructive stress never returned.

Stress doesn't have to be your default state.

And most often you don't need drastic changes like mine.

Small things can help a lot.

I'd love to hear from you.

What's your biggest source of stress right now? Or how did you overcome your chronic stress?

I spend an hour on my post. You scroll by in seconds.

Here’s what you don’t see:

I write about longevity and high performance because I want to help you feel and live your life sharper, stronger and younger.

Each post starts with a real problem that I hear from leaders, founders, and friends.

I write an outline, tweak, and rewrite again.

Often I put it in the backlog because it does not feel "ripe".

I pick a photo that fits.

(I edit the picture so I look at least 10 years younger. 🤣)

I ask AI to help fix my grammar and how I can optimize what I wrote.

I edit what I wrote again.

Then I hit publish.

And hope the algorithm picks it up.

I DM friends, ask them to like or comment to push the algo so more people will read what I wrote.

Nobody pays me for this.

But every week, someone tells me in private that a post helped them.

That they changed a habit, that something clicked, that they feel better.

And it feels great.

But in public? 

Silence from the same person. 
Not one like. 
Not a single comment from this person.

Andi I get it.

You’re busy.

Maybe you’re not a “comment person.”

Maybe you think your like won’t matter.

Maybe you’re reading this on your phone, half-awake, or yes, even from the toilet seat (hey, no judgment).

But here’s the truth:

→ A like takes one second.
→ A comment takes fifteen.
→ For me? It means HOURS of work feel seen. It means the message spreads. It means I keep going.

You don’t owe me anything.

But if my content helps you, if it makes you think, if it’s even a bit entertaining (or cringe :D), please show some love in the future.

To everyone who already supports me, THANK YOU.

For real.

Every bit of engagement helps me keep building, even when the road is rocky.

Building something real takes time. 

Every small act of support matters.

Love, Alex

A 103 year old crushed everything we knew about aging.

His performance didn't just maintain... 👇

It actually improved.

I used to think peak performance had an expiration date.

Then I discovered Robert Marchand.

𝗔𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟯, 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

I've studied longevity research for years, but this case study stopped me cold.

Robert was a centenarian cyclist crushing records. 

At 101, he set the hour record for his age group (24.25 km).

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟯, 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝟭𝟭%.

Here's what blew researchers away:

 • His aerobic fitness increased 13%. 
 • His power output jumped 39%. 
 • His pedaling efficiency improved 30%.

These are metrics that typically decline with age, especially after 100.

But Robert was moving in the opposite direction.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵? 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.

 • He rode 5,000 kilometers per year. 
 • 80% at an easy pace.
 • 20% at high intensity.

Nothing fancy. Just consistent volume, smart intensity, and focus on technique.

His body adapted at an age when most assume decline is inevitable.

Heart rate stayed stable, but his ventilation increased 23%. His respiratory efficiency improved.

His body was literally rewriting what researchers call the "old old" athlete category.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹.

It's proof that our bodies retain incredible capacity for adaptation way longer than we think.

The principles Robert used aren't rocket science:

 • Consistent training volume
 • Strategic intensity distribution
 • Technical focus

Things any of us can apply, regardless of age.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁?

If a 103 year old can improve performance, what's possible for you and I... 🚴‍♂️🏃🏋️‍♀️

What's one physical goal you've been putting off because you think you're "too old" for it?

Drop it in the comments. I'd love to hear what you're working toward.

I saw this video yesterday and was ashamed of myself.

This post will be 100% raw and real.

I've been struggling with my health since I was born.

I couldn't sleep in bed with my mom as a baby because my eczema was so bad.

When I was a kid I had a lot of energy but I was skinny and often sick.

When I went to school I had eczemas on different parts of my body that would change every couple of months.

Skin eczema on my face was the worst because it looked ugly and I felt like people thought I wasn't hygienic.

It stayed with me till today.

When I have a lot of stress or don't eat a certain diet, or don't eat my special yogurt and follow a lot of other rules an eczema will pop up.

And then there's much more. 

Histamine intolerance, allergies and other things I might share another time.

These things make me feel bad. 

I feel self pity and like I'm a fraud. 

Because I'm in longevity and I need to look good and my body needs to perform. 

So that other people see that I'm not only talking the talk but walking the walk.

And then I see this video.

And I realize that it's my decision every day if I want to be happy with my life, my body and myself.

If the person in the video says he has a good life and is a happy camper...

Then I should never allow my progress in longevity or my health or my current looks define my happiness and my self worth.

And I'm struggling with that.

Maybe you too?

Anyways I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone.

Maybe it helps you.

Thanks for reading.

Enjoy your weekend and your life.

You won't get another one.

I've spent 4 years researching EGCG + ECG (green tea catechins).

What I discovered will change your life! 🍵 

But first let me take you back to 2020...

I was desperate. 

My atopic eczema was getting worse, and nothing seemed to work.

Creams, medications, diet changes - you name it, I tried it.

Then I stumbled across a Japanese study that stopped me in my tracks.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲:

People who drank 3-4 cups of green tea daily saw their eczema symptoms dramatically improve within 8 weeks.

I thought: "Green tea? Really?"

But I was willing to try anything.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁:

I dove deep into the research rabbit hole.

What I found blew my mind:

→ EGCG reduces inflammatory markers by 35-50% in clinical studies
→ Population studies show 16% reduction in all-cause mortality
→ One compound targeting 9 different aging pathways simultaneously

I immediately started drinking 1-2 cups of high-quality sencha daily.

Plus I added an EGCG supplement (200-400mg).

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀:

My eczema? Almost completely gone.

But that wasn't all...

My energy levels increased. My skin looked better overall. Even my sleep improved.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:

EGCG doesn't just fight inflammation - it triggers something called "mitohormesis."

Think of it as giving your cells a controlled workout that makes them stronger.

It activates multiple longevity pathways at once:

→ Autophagy (cellular cleanup)
→ Telomere protection
→ Mitochondrial enhancement
→ Anti-inflammatory response

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴:

They think more is always better.

⚠️ Important warning: High doses of EGCG (above 800mg daily) can cause liver toxicity.

Stick to 200-400mg from supplements plus 1-2 cups of quality green tea.

Your liver will thank you.

𝗠𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹:

→ 1-2 cups sencha (morning, empty stomach)
→ 350mg EGCG supplement

Sometimes the most powerful solutions are hiding in plain sight.

A $3 bag of quality green tea might do more for your health than expensive supplements.

Have you tried green tea for health issues? What was your experience?

Is longevity a scam?

Some of it absolutely is.

But not all of it.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁.

NAD+ levels drop 50%+ as we age.

The decline is real:

 • DNA repair slows down
 • Cognitive function weakens
 • Muscle strength drops
 • Immune system suffers

So boosting NAD+ makes sense.

Everyone agrees on that part.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀.

Walk into certain clinics and they'll pitch NAD+ IV infusions at $400+ per session.

They'll tell you to come back every 2-4 weeks.

The problem?

NAD+ molecules struggle to penetrate your cell membranes effectively. 

While IV therapy delivers 100% bioavailability to your bloodstream, that plasma spike doesn't translate to sustained cellular NAD+ elevation.

It also takes 2-3 hours to get the infusion

You're paying for temporary blood levels, not lasting cellular benefits.

𝗦𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲?

Yes.

NMN and NR supplements work differently. 

They're NAD+ precursors your cells actually absorb and use.

The research backs this:

 • NR approximately doubled whole blood NAD+ in heart failure patients
 • NMN increased whole blood NAD+ sixfold in older adults
 • Both improve mitochondrial function and reduce inflammation

Cost? 

Under $100 monthly.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

 • Start with NAD+ testing to get a baseline value
 • NMN and/or NR supplementation
 • TMG for methylation support
 • Pterostilbene for sirtuin activation

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲:

Longevity science isn't a scam.

But delivery methods matter.

One approach gives you expensive plasma spikes with limited cellular uptake.

The other provides sustained cellular NAD+ elevation through evidence-based precursors for a fraction of the cost.

Don't write off longevity medicine.

Just demand better science and smarter spending.

What's been your experience with longevity treatments? Legitimate science or expensive hype?

Everyone's obsessing over supplements and peptides for longevity.

They're missing the 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁.

Harvard's 80+ year study tracked thousands of people and found ONE factor.

It predicted longevity better than cholesterol levels, genetics, or lifestyle habits.

And it wasn't what you'd expect.

The #1 predictor?

𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀.

Stable marriages and close relationships with family and friends.

People satisfied with their relationships at 50 were 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝟴𝟬.

As someone married for nearly 20 years, this hits home.

I've watched friends navigate life solo vs. with strong partnerships.

The difference in how they handle stress, make decisions, and even age is striking.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱:

⚡ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Strong social connections literally change your body's stress response. Those with warm relationships have better immune function and faster recovery from illness.

⚡ 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Good relationships don't just protect bodies, they protect brains. Securely attached partners had better memory functions and slower cognitive decline.

⚡ 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿: Happy marriages create a protective effect where people's moods don't suffer even on high-pain days, while unhappy relationships amplify both emotional AND physical pain.

Meanwhile, loneliness carries health risks equivalent to 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟱 𝗰𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆.

Your supplement stack won't fix that.

The longevity conversation needs to shift.

Instead of just talking about the latest biohacking trend, let's focus on:

Building deeper connections with family

Investing time in friendships

Creating strong partnerships

Being present in our relationships

These aren't just nice-to-haves.

They're longevity essentials backed by 80+ years of Harvard research.

What's one thing you do to strengthen your most important relationships?

I warned you about the toxic chemicals lurking in chewing gum.

The response was overwhelming.

Then Andrew Bradshaw from Milliways reached out.

Not with a pitch.

But with a simple question: "Would you test our product?"

I said yes. Because I was already using plastic-free gum anyway.

Here's my 100% honest review:

Milliways uses only natural, plant-based ingredients:

 • No sugar
 • No plastic 
 • No aspartame

I tested all the flavors:

 1. Spearmint – Absolutely fantastic. Long-lasting and refreshing.
 2. Pepper Mint – Soft and nice pepper mint taste.
 3. Mighty Mint - Strong. Perfect pre-workout boost.
 4. Bubblemint – Crushes sweet cravings without the guilt.
 5. Watermelon – Great taste but only for a short time.

All mint flavours last quite long compared to regular gum.

Mint flavors come from oils, while fruit flavors use powder. 

This isn't unique to Milliways. It's the same across all natural gums.

But here's what sets them apart:

 • They use xylitol, which may actually repair your teeth
 • Sugar-free
 • Aspartame-free
 • Biodegradable
 • Plant-based

This isn't sponsored. Just my honest take.​

Spearmint and Peppermint are now my go-to gums.

Highly recommended to try as a alternative to regular gum made out of plastic.

Yesterday night I had the perfect bedtime routine planned.

Then I almost choked on my supplements and ruined everything in 10 seconds.

I'm sharing this story because sometimes life reminds us that even our best plans can go sideways in an instant.

It was 9:30 PM when I took my usual bedtime supplements (magnesium, iron, L-theanine, glycine, apigenin and astaxanthin).

I put all the capsules in my mouth and swallowed them with water like always.

But this time something went wrong.

My iron supplement - a slow-release tablet that looks like a small brown brick - went down my windpipe instead of my esophagus.

I almost choked.

Gasping. Coughing. Tears running down my face.

For the next hour, I'm awake trying to cough this thing out of my trachea. 

Only small pieces come out.

At midnight, I take a double-release melatonin and tell myself: "Sleep. Your body will figure this out."

Wrong.

1 AM: I wake up coughing. Another small piece comes out.

I think it's over. Finally.

10 minutes later, I have the most intense coughing fit of my life.

So loud my wife wakes up.

The entire iron supplement comes back up into my mouth.

I rush to the bathroom and spit everything out.

But here's the worst part I haven't mentioned yet:

My mouth tasted like pure iron for hours.

Like my tongue was connected to a rusty metal pipe.

My Whoop showed 70% sleep quality that night. I felt exhausted.

But that's life, right?

Some people have newborns and experience sleep disruption every night for months.

I'm grateful this was just one night.

The lesson? Even our most routine habits deserve our full attention. 

I'll be taking my supplements one at a time from now on.

What's your most embarrassing "super plan" moment recently? :)
