🧠 The Longevity Trap: Are You Over-Optimizing Your Health?
Hey Wellness Warrior 🌿💪
Chasing longevity is the new status symbol—$40k retreats, smart toilets, and supplement stacks for days.
But all that optimizing? It’s wearing people out.
This week, we’re breaking down biohacking burnout—what it is, why it’s spreading, and how to build a health routine that feels good.
🚨 The Longevity Hustle Is Real
Always optimizing = Always exhausted
The constant chase—daily blood glucose monitoring, intermittent fasting windows, red light therapy sessions—can leave you more stressed than centered.Wellness is turning into a flex
High-end treatments like full-body MRIs, cryo chambers, and custom IV drips are trendy, but they’re not always necessary. Or proven.Mental health is taking a hit
When wellness becomes work, joy disappears. A recent trend report shows more people are walking away from the quantified life in favor of feeling good without the data.
✅ A Health Routine That Feels Good
🛌 Protect your rest like your gains
No recovery = no results. Prioritize sleep over squeezing in another protocol.
🥩 Eat real, simple food
Want to cut through the noise? A whole-food, meat-based diet is one of the most stripped-down approaches to nourishment. (More on that below 👇)
📵 Unplug regularly
Your body’s not a spreadsheet. You don’t need to track every breath.
🧘🏽♂️ Practice presence, not perfection
Mindfulness isn't just meditation. It’s how you move through your day. Build moments of calm to counterbalance all the “doing.”
