A Day in My Life (Superhuman protocol)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Full-Day Routine & Key Lifestyle Habits
Wake up & morning reset
- Wakes up around 6:30
- Hydrates with water and salt
- Takes plasma first thing (as part of the morning routine)
- Takes a walk after the morning dip/water, with Penny (and later additional walks)
- Starts deep work shortly after (around 7:00) and continues for hours
“Superhuman coffee” (breakfast timing support)
Uses high-quality coffee plus:
- Butter
- Honey
- Heavy cream
Goal: avoid a strong cortisol/caffeine response on an empty stomach (“smooth things out”).
First meal (around ~10:00)
- About 10 eggs, cooked on a pan
- Sourdough reheated so it feels fresh again:
- Pour water on it
- Put it in the oven to refresh
- Adds kiwi
- Eats outside when weather allows
Exercise & Recovery
Gym instead of home workout
- Plans to go to the gym (not train at home)
- Uses the facility to sweat and recover
- Mentions doing sauna at the gym (no home sauna yet)
Training session (dinner-workout plate)
Gym context meal includes:
- Beef
- Rice
- Kraut / fermented pickle
- Zucchini
- Herbs
Also notes improved sleep:
- Slept “amazing,” even with coffee
- Felt strong for the first time in a long while
Workout / motility recovery advice (from discussion)
- Emphasizes respecting recovery time
- Practical guideline:
- Train, then wait 1–2 days, then train again
- Don’t repeatedly push the same thing without a break (example given: “on the fourth day you mess something up”)
Work Blocks & Lifestyle Structure
- Morning: focused deep work (undistracted, headphones on)
- Midday: workout/activity to split up focus
- Afternoon: client calls, admin, interviews/testimonials
- Mentions a completed client testimonial/interview with Mr. Davidus (linked later)
Dinner & Cooking Efficiency
Dinner timing
- Starts later than ideal—around 8:00
- Goal was earlier, but the schedule ran long
Dinner recipe
- Wild-caught salmon (air-fried)
- Potatoes
- Add-ons previously mentioned with meals:
- Sauerkraut
- Pickles
- Herbs
- Uses an air fryer for speed and convenience:
- Prep in about 2 minutes
- Cook about 20 minutes (then done)
Eating environment philosophy (main takeaway)
Core message repeated throughout:
- Prioritize the eating environment over just “best food”
- Why:
- Helps food go to the “right places”
- Reduces problems even when people already eat high-end foods
Practical requirements:
- Allocate time to slow down
- After meals: ideally take a digestion walk
- Avoid the “efficiency mindset” that cuts recovery time and leads to worse:
- energy
- hormones
- bloating
Light/dark timing impact
- Avoids eating outside as sun sets/darkness arrives
- Explanation given:
- More darkness → body signals melatonin
- Melatonin can reduce digestive ability, while also being important for gut healing
Fermented Foods & “Bacteria Flow”
- Consistently includes fermented foods in meals
- Dinner example:
- Sauerkraut / fermented pickles and fermented elements as part of the meal
Caution:
- Ferments aren’t for everyone
- Only do it if your gut is functioning well and can handle it (otherwise it could backfire)
Additional Meal (Dessert / 4th Meal)
Adds a later “dessert bowl” (not ideal, but eaten due to needing more food):
- Kefir
- Buckwheat
- Goji berries
- Apple (and other garden fruits/berries)
- Blueberries
- Krusbär (mentioned as a fruit—likely currant/gooseberry-type depending on translation)
- Nectarine (“almost a peach”)
End-of-Day Wrap-Up
- Final walk with Penny
- Plans to repeat tomorrow’s structure:
- Deep work in the morning → activity/workout → calls later → client/admin tasks
