Aging Backwards (as a Normal Dude)

I’m not on some quest to live forever. In fact, I’m looking forward to the day I get to leave this earth, because I know where I’m headed. But until that day comes, I want to feel great, move well, and be present with my wife and my four kids—without pain, without fatigue, and without the fog that used to cloud my mind.

This week I dropped a video that’s close to my heart. It’s not a “how to become a biohacking billionaire” guide. It’s a normal guy’s blueprint for aging in reverse. And it’s working.

Here’s the core of it, broken down simply.

🔬 STEP ONE: Get Your Blood Work Done (This Is the Foundation)

I didn’t get my blood work done until I was 34. That’s embarrassing to admit, but it’s real. Since then, it’s been the most impactful health move I’ve made.

Blood work is like a snapshot of what’s going on inside your body right now. It tells the truth. And if you’re serious about optimizing your health—whether you're 22 or 72—it’s where you need to start.

👉 I use Blokes (for men) and my wife uses Joi (for women).
They send a phlebotomist to your house. You hop on a Zoom call with a medical pro who walks you through the results, builds a plan, and answers your questions in normal-person language.

Use code MAUS for 50% off your first panel. I don’t care if it’s with Blokes, your doctor, or someone else—just do it.

You wouldn’t start a road trip without checking the map first. Blood work is your map.

💉 STEP TWO: Supplement Smart (Not Hard)

Once I saw my blood work, I had a roadmap. Turns out, my testosterone was in the tank. My inflammation was up. I was borderline diabetic. I didn’t need to guess anymore—I had data.

From there, I started making real moves:

• Weekly glutathione injections for cellular detox

• B12 for energy

• A microdose of testosterone (just 30 units/week, nothing crazy)

• Nasal NAD+ spray (for brain function and cellular energy)

• Custom daily supplements in easy packets (Ashwagandha, omega-3s, turmeric, NAC, and more—rotated quarterly based on my labs)

None of this is cookie-cutter. What works for me might not work for you. That’s the point. Let your blood lead the way.

🥩 STEP THREE: Eat Real Food (And Be Flexible About It)

I eat about 80–100% animal-based: meat, fruit, raw dairy, raw honey, and salt. No processed junk. No mystery oils. When I do that, I feel light, clear, and strong.

But here’s the deal—I’m not in Costa Rica surfing like Paul Saladino (though I may visit soon 👀). I’m a dad in Tampa with Publix down the street. I’m not perfect. I travel. I eat out. I go on cruises/trips where food options are limited. But I do my best to make small, wise swaps. Ask for butter instead of canola oil. Skip the bread. Bring your own salt.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be aware. That awareness builds momentum.

🔄 Lifestyle Changes That Changed My Life

• I cold plunge, sauna, and ground regularly.

• I avoid toxic people and stressful situations like the plague.

• I move often, sleep deep, and protect my peace.

• I stopped responding to texts that drain me.

• I prioritize relationships that lift me up.

And honestly? I feel younger than I did a decade ago.

My biological age (per testing) has gone from 36 to 27. Not because I’m chasing aesthetics—but because I want to be functionally free. I want to backflip in the yard with my kids. And I can.

🙌 Be Proud of Yourself

Seriously. We don’t say that enough.

I’m proud that I landed a standing backflip this year. I’m proud of the changes I’ve made. And I want you to be proud of you too.

If you’re not yet, here’s one step you can take today:
🎯 Get your blood work done.
🎯 Build a plan based on your real needs.
🎯 Take back control of your energy, your body, and your life.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.

You don’t need a rainforest or 100 pills. You need a foundation—and a plan that fits your real life.

You got this.

Until next time,
