Many celebrities are participating in the health trend, such as Jack Dorsey, Brooke Burke, and Tom Brady. The 45-year-old football star is vocal about his biohacking regimen, including getting at least eight hours of sleep per night to maximize his performance. Brady does not consume gluten, dairy, trans fat, sugar, coffee, GMOs, MSG, or overly-processed foods. He is also passionate about taking supplements, meditating, resistance training, and using infrared saunas.
Brady was the oldest quarterback to play in the National Football League last season, but one would not know it by watching his game. Brady is one of the very few quarterbacks to continue to play and even win Super Bowls into their forties, which is largely due to his wellness routine. "I think some people may look at it like it's very disciplined," Brady told Men's Health in 2019. "But I just like feeling good."
Becoming the winningest quarterback of all time is no easy feat. Brady's level of discipline is what propelled him to new levels. From taking account of everything entering his body to spending hours upon hours watching and studying game films, Brady entered the stadium each Sunday as prepared as possible - both mentally and physically.
People across all fields are adopting various biohacking techniques into their routines, and someone in the field of neurosurgery that is mastering age intervention and biohacking methods is Dr. Jacob Rosenstein. Now in his late-60s, Dr. Rosenstein says that he is the healthiest he has ever been and that his best years are still ahead of him.
Over many decades, Dr. Rosenstein has established himself as one of the nation's premier spinal surgeons. Like Brady who achieved the pinnacle of his craft and maintained it in his later years, Dr. Rosenstein has a meticulous method that allows him to excel in treating his patients. His approach consists of "carefully figuring out a surgical strategy, identifying potential problem areas to avoid to minimize complications, rehearsing the surgery in my head several times before ever coming into the OR, and executing the surgery meticulously," he said.
Neurosurgery can be an extremely challenging and demanding profession, mentally and physically. "For my patients, every surgery is like the Super Bowl," said Dr. Rosenstein. "So I need to prepare like Tom Brady prepares for the Super Bowl." Dr. Rosenstein coordinates his workouts and nutrition for the week depending on his schedule. He plans ahead to determine when is the best time for cardio versus resistance training, and how much of each.
In addition to his workout planning, Dr. Rosenstein plans his meals around his surgery schedule to maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day. "I try my best to stay in optimal shape and optimal health so that I can take optimal care of my patients," said Dr. Rosenstein. "Neurosurgery is a demanding specialty requiring intense mental focus and concentration, as well as enduring physical stamina. I can't have a bad day or my patients suffer."
Dr. Rosenstein's ability to reverse his biological clock led him to open Southwest Age Intervention Institute, where the team focuses on age management and anti-aging therapies to help each client live their lives to the fullest. Located in Arlington, Texas, the Southwest Age Institute has helped countless people feel younger and younger each day. "Make the rest of your life the best of your life," says Dr. Rosenstein.
