As someone who would like to do this but has generally been choosing the easy paths - curious what your diet and exercise regime looks like.


Well “fortunately” I’m forced to have a strict diet due to some sort of IBS issues. For that, I use the MacroFactor app and talk through my daily recipes with ChatGPT, making sure to hit the macros and calories targets while also optimizing for heart health and IBS. Fat, protein, carbs, fiber. Taking AG1 to fill gaps.

For fitness I’m obsessed with biking so I do like 90 minutes of endurance/tempo pace 5 days a week and usually a race once a week. Zwift is great with a Tacx when weather is bad (often).

That isn’t a time option for everyone but it is also likely well beyond what is necessary for most people.

I also don’t drink or smoke or vape which I think is important.

Not going to say I’m an expert or an exemplar of health but I am really trying everything I know to do at this stage.


There are specific recommended minimums in the physical activity guidelines about strength training and endurance training where meeting them is likely to significantly reduce your disease risk and improve your health: https://www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/where-should-my-priorit...
