A Day in My Life (Superhuman protocol)

Main summary

Key takeaways

Lifestyle

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
