How I dropped my resting heart rate by 9bpm
Three changes over six months: nasal-only breathing during easy runs, magnesium L-threonate before bed, and cutting evening caffeine entirely. RHR went from 64 to 55. Recovery feels different in a way I can't quite articulate — less brittle.
Half-marathon training stack thoughts?
Started training for my first half. Currently using Solstice Ubiquinol and Orion Krill but interested whether others have layered in beta-alanine or beetroot for the cardio side. Trying to keep the stack lean.
Sirena Collagen + skin tracking — 90 day report
I started photographing my face under fixed lighting every Monday morning. At day 60 the difference in periorbital crepiness is unmistakable. Combining with a daily 20 minutes of indirect sun and 100g protein minimum. Curious what others are pairing.
Cold plunge protocol that finally clicked
After two months of forcing myself into 3-minute plunges I read Huberman's piece on hormetic dosing and switched to 11 minutes per week, broken into four 2-3 minute sessions. Subjective resilience and mood are notably better. Pairing with Helios magnesium pre-bed for the recovery window.
Best timing for NMN — morning or split dose?
I've been on Aurelia NMN+ for six weeks and finally feel a real lift in afternoon energy. Curious if anyone has experimented with splitting the dose, or whether a single morning protocol works best for everyone. Reading the literature it seems half-life favours splitting, but interested in lived experience.
