Where I’m at, small, sustainable wins that actually feel like life again

figured I’d put something here to explain what I actually do day-to-day so folks know the kind of practical stuff we’ll be talking about.

My Current Routine

• Breakfast: Big shake that’s a mix between overnight steel-cut oats and Bryan Johnson’s nutty pudding, plus my NOVOS stack and a few extras.
• Supplements: I take a couple more NOVOS things after checking my phone.
• Strength: A few lifts with 25-lb weights (different variations) to strengthen my back — I learned my weak back muscles were causing more sweat → acne.
• Shower + skincare: PanOxyl on my back.
• Throughout the day: Sunscreen, staying fairly active.
• Night: Adapalene on my face and back.

I’m tall, a bit underweight, and fairly active, so the real challenge is eating enough food consistently — not exercise.

My Approach

I basically find the weakest link and improve it in a sustainable way. Most things I figure out by watching how my body and mind respond.
If I need precision, I’ll use a watch, scale, or blood tests.

What’s Next

• Add daily walks (short and consistent).
• Possibly use dog-walking apps — that way I get full-body movement and get paid.

Why This Matters

I’d been slowly sliding into a fog since middle school through college.
Taking my health seriously has felt like getting my superpowers back — clearer mind, more energy, better mood.
I wish more people felt this way. You’re your own greatest weapon in this world; better keep it sharp.

3 Tiny Things That Helped Me Stay Consistent

1. Make big calorie dense meals with variety you can prep the night before (so you don’t skip) and keep eating calorie dense foods and drinks throughout the day, I check what I'm doing occasionally with the app called cronometer.
2. Short, regular strength moves (5–10 minutes, same time every day) to build base muscle — consistency > intensity.
3. Pair a habit with a trigger: “put on shoes → 10-min walk” or “shake in blender → take morning supplements.”
   Small chains beat willpower.

Not to mention sleep, I thought I slept well until I started to really analyze what my sleep scores and habits were like and how I felt before during after sleeping.
