British GP, 41, Shares Extreme Biohacking Routine in Pursuit of Longevity
LONDON – A London-based General Practitioner is gaining attention for his intense focus on slowing down the aging process, detailing a daily regimen that includes skipping breakfast, intermittent fasting, meticulous sleep tracking, and a cocktail of supplements. Dr. muzz Hanif, 41, founder of HUM2N, says his approach is rooted in understanding aging as a disease process that can be proactively managed.
“The process of ageing is…and helps us identify those disease processes earlier through testing [which helps us] make interventions earlier,” Dr. Hanif explained.
His dedication to longevity was spurred by a concerning biological age increase of 11 years after starting a two-hour daily commute. He now combats stress through meditation and breath-work during his commute, journaling on the return trip to process thoughts. He’s also implemented stricter boundaries in his work schedule, limiting meeting and patient appointment times to ensure a reasonable work-life balance.
Dr.Hanif actively minimizes stimuli, including reducing his exposure to social media and avoiding ”brain drain content” which he says “sucks you in and you just end up just watching it as a way to unwind.” He prioritizes giving his brain “time and space to just process the day and empty my thoughts and get more restful.”
beyond mental wellbeing, Dr.Hanif’s routine focuses heavily on diet and physical health. He eats dinner at least three hours before bed, incorporates vegetarian meals twice a week to boost fiber intake, and consumes 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. He avoids carbohydrates after lunch to promote a fasted state and practices intermittent fasting, delaying his first meal until lunchtime – which he uses for a gym session and a healthy meal.
He also prioritizes hydration, consuming at least 1.5 liters of water daily, and utilizes an Oura Ring to monitor his sleep, aiming for two hours of deep sleep and at least one hour of REM sleep each night. “The benefits of sleep happen in those two phases, the deep sleep and the rem sleep,” he stated. He recommends optimizing sleep through strategies like avoiding late-night eating, limiting alcohol, regular exercise, a cooler bedroom temperature, and reducing blue light exposure before bed.
Dr. Hanif’s work at HUM2N has attracted attention from high-profile individuals, including Dragons’ Den star Steven bartlett.
