Question 23 of 433
Should I copy Diamandis’s personal routine?
The short answer
Copy the habits. Do not copy the pharmacy.
His daily habits are excellent: almost no sugar, plenty of protein, heavy lifting several times a week, steady cardio, eight hours of sleep in a cool dark room, little or no alcohol. I would hand that list to anyone.
He also reports taking several prescription drugs for prevention, including rapamycin and metformin, along with testosterone, peptides, and dozens of supplements. A reviewer in the journal Family Medicine counted about 75 supplements and medications a day and put the yearly cost of the program near $30,000. No trial has tested that combination, and no one can know how those compounds interact. He is running an experiment on one person. He may be right about some of it. You will not be able to tell which parts.
