How I'm Reversing the "Entrepreneur Aging Tax"
A shocking reality check: Entrepreneurs age 1.5x faster than the average person.
This statistic wasn't just another LinkedIn post I scrolled past—it was a mirror held up to my life by my friend Sean Kelly. It hit home because after selling my company, I saw one of the top health longevity doctors and he delivered news I wasn't prepared to hear:
In simple words "Being an entrepreneur has likely shortened your lifespan by 3-5 years."
Those words became my call to action. Since then, I've invested significant time and resources into developing a comprehensive longevity protocol that's not just extending my life, but dramatically improving its quality—even while managing chronic gout (sometimes called "the wealthy man's foot disease").
My Longevity Protocol

Bi-Weekly Ozone Therapy
After being impacted by the wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and making multiple round trips back and forth into the fire zone, I knew my lungs and body had taken a beating. The smoke exposure was unavoidable, and I could feel the toll it was taking. This crisis pushed me to commit to regular ozone therapy—a process where my blood is drawn, infused with ozone, and returned to my body. Last session, I completed 10 "turns" (full circulation cycles).
Tangible benefits I've experienced:
Sustained energy throughout the day
Enhanced mental clarity and focus
Deeper, more restorative sleep
Significant reduction in full-body inflammation
Floor of Mouth Therapy
My daughter's tongue and lip tie diagnosis led me down a fascinating path of discovery. Many adults have undiagnosed oral restrictions that can trigger cascading health issues—from breathing difficulties to chronic inflammation.
Working with Dr. Neel Bulchandi, I underwent specialized bodywork to release my tongue tie. The result? My sleep quality improved almost immediately.
Laser Dentistry for Airway Optimization
Rather than resigning myself to a lifetime with a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, I sought alternatives. Through Dr. Anthony Eurajadi's specialized laser treatments in East Los Angeles, both my wife and I have experienced remarkable improvements in nasal breathing after just three treatments.
Targeted Weekly Bodywork
My sessions with osteopath Justin Dean focus on myofascial release and tissue healing. The improvements have been measurable:
Significantly reduced post-workout stiffness
Improved gait mechanics
Enhanced athletic recovery after basketball and pickleball
🏃♂️ Functional Patterns (FP) Training
After falling down stairs as a child and developing a persistent limp, I'd resigned myself to permanent asymmetry. Enter Functional Patterns—a revolutionary training methodology developed by Naudi Aguilar that's transformed my movement:
Corrected long-standing structural imbalances
Released fascial tension that limited mobility
Retrained muscle engagement patterns
Addressed root causes rather than symptoms
The result? I'm moving better now than I did at 29.
Quarterly Biomarker Testing
What gets measured gets managed. Every quarter, I test different biomarkers—from testosterone to glucose metabolism to inflammatory markers.
My first comprehensive panel revealed I was trending toward pre-diabetes, which became powerful motivation for change. Many avoid testing out of fear, but I've found that data drives meaningful improvement.
Sleep Optimization Protocol
Mouth taping every night to ensure nasal breathing
Consistent 8-hour sleep window
Significantly increased REM sleep (verified through tracking)
Circadian Rhythm Reset
Daily dawn walks reset my internal clock and help me consistently achieve 10,000+ steps. This simple practice has had profound effects on my energy and mood regulation.
Strategic Electrolyte Hydration
Through testing, I discovered that improper hydration was contributing to both cognitive issues and sleep disruptions. Intentional electrolyte supplementation has been transformative.
Mind-Body Integration Practices
Daily journaling
Voice note reflections
Consistent meditation practice
These practices keep me connected to my purpose and reduce the cognitive load that accelerates aging.
Hormetic Stress Therapy
Sauna sessions 2-3 times weekly
12 minutes of cold plunge therapy per week
Red light therapy with my Joovv device twice weekly
This trinity of therapies supports mitochondrial health—the powerhouses of cellular energy and longevity.
📱 Digital Discipline
Perhaps the most impactful yet simplest change: keeping my phone out of the bedroom and implementing a 30-minute buffer before screen exposure each morning.
