What Works for Me to Stay Sharp and Healthy

Introduction

Hi friends! In this post I'll share the habits that boost my focus and fuel my body with superfoods. Years of experimenting—100% huel diet, keto, you name it—led me to routines that keep me energized and ready to produce excellent code .

Try your own experiments to find what clicks : bananas don't vibe with me but they might vibe with you!

My routine might feel repetitive at first, but it’s easy to stick with, and the payoff is awesome!

Morning Routine

Dental Care: I use a hydroxyapatite toothpaste instead of fluoride. Hydroxyapatite remineralizes enamel, supports a balanced mouth microbiome, and avoids the potential disruptions that fluoride can introduce—an often overlooked aspect of your health (Check Huberman labs episode about it).
Sun exposure: I try to get at least 5min of direct (not through a window) sun exposure as soon as I wake up. Then longer exposure in the afternoon, after 4pm.
Movement Warm-Up: My morning movement flow starts with a spinal “wave” to awaken the vertebrae, followed by dynamic mobility drills, and ends with alternating cat/child poses to lubricate joints and wake the nervous system up.

Calisthenics for Neuroplasticity

In the afternoon, 3-4 times a week, I do a concise calisthenics circuit, blending exercises like:

Handstand: Stimulates the vestibular system, improving balance and spatial awareness + strengthens shoulders and core.
L-sit to Handstand on Bars: Builds on handstand benefits, emphasizing dynamic shoulder stability and strength during transitions. Engages core muscles intensely, particularly hip flexors and lower abs.
Push-ups: Targets chest (pectorals), shoulders (deltoids, depending on the inclination), and triceps. It must end in protraction.
Strict Pull-ups: Primarily works the back, shoulders (deltoids), and biceps. Engages core for stabilization. Improves grip strength too.

These exercises serve as good foundation to deliver a powerful endorphin boost for mood and motivation while spiking BDNF to enhance neuroplasticity, sharpening both mind and muscles.

Nutritional Powerhouses

Beef Liver pills: A micronutrient-dense source of vitamin A, iron, and B12—perfect for brain and blood health.
Creatine from Beef: Naturally boosts muscle strength and cognitive function without synthetic supplements.
Kefir & Fermented Foods: Daily kefir and ferments support both my oral and gut microbiomes for improved digestion and immunity.
Beef & Bone Broth: Rich in collagen, amino acids, and minerals for joint health and recovery.
Fish oil: Rich in omega-3s, which are essential for brain health and inflammation reduction.
Fruits: Raspberries and dates are my go to fruits. Both are high in fiber, packed with micronutrients and antioxidants.
Honey: Sidr honey boosts immunity, fights bacteria and viruses, reduces inflammation, aids digestion, and promotes skin health. Combining it with kefir and raspberries will blow your mind!
Raw milk butter: Rich in vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K2, and omega-3s. I use it exclusively to cook, no vegetable oils.

Sourcing

Quality is key, both for yourself and the planet.

Toothpaste: Gutology
Meat (including organs and bones): Ideally organic but at least grass-fed (and preferably grass finished)
Fruits: Organic and, if possible, regenerative. Medjool dates are my top choice. Deep frozen raspberries to reduce cost, preserve nutritional value, and reduce inconvenience
Kefir: Ideally homemade with raw milk, but fermentation makes pasteurization more digest (lactose is digested by bacterias)
Honey: Raw, organic, unprocessed/unheated. My fav is Sidr honey from Yemen
Fish oil: I like wild alaskan salmon oil, but avoid at any cost farmed fish stuffs

Conclusion

Over the past 12 months, I’ve been sticking these routines and focusing on nutrient-rich meals, while cutting back on processed foods (with a few cheat meals here and there for balance).

It’s been a game-changer—my productivity and overall wellness have skyrocketed, my sports performance has noticeably improved, and I’ve finally sorted out those annoying digestive and liver issues.
