The Human Runtime

The Project

Manifesto

What if most of how you feel day to day is actually within your control? I became obsessed with that question.

My goal is simple: feel the best I possibly can, for as long as I live. That's it. No brand, no protocol to sell, no movement to start. Just a genuine obsession with understanding what's happening inside my own body — and doing something about it.

This site is where I document every experiment I run on myself. What I tested, why I tested it, the science behind the decision, and what actually happened — backed by my own data. If something didn't work, I'll tell you it didn't work. If a protocol made me feel worse, I'll say that clearly. Honesty is the only thing this is built on.

Why “Human Runtime”

A runtime is the environment in which a program executes. It's not the code itself — it's the conditions, the resources, the inputs that determine how well everything runs. Your body is the same thing. You're not just the instructions you were born with. You're also everything you eat, how you sleep, how you move, how stressed you are, what your environment is doing to you. The runtime is everything.

Optimising the runtime doesn't mean hacking or extremes. It means paying attention. Measuring. Adjusting. Running the machine as well as it can be run.

What you won't find here

A universal protocol. A five-step morning routine. A single answer that works for everyone. I've spent years looking for trusted voices in this space, and the few I actually believe tend to be men — which means their biology isn't mine, their hormones aren't mine, their results may not translate. And honestly, even if we shared every variable, we still wouldn't be the same. Your environment is unique. Your stress, your history, your sleep, your relationships — all of it is part of the equation.

That's not a problem. That's the whole point.

What this means in practice

You are the best experiment of one

Nobody is inside your body and mind. If something makes you miserable — keto, cold plunges, intermittent fasting — then it isn't working, full stop. The goal is to give you a starting point, not a prescription.

Measure things to be accurate

Feelings lie. Biomarkers are harder to argue with. I'll always show the data behind any claim I make here — and I'll show the data when I'm wrong too.

Science moves, and so do I

What I believed three years ago about nutrition, sleep, or supplementation may not be what I believe now. That's not inconsistency — that's paying attention. I'll update things when the evidence changes, and I'll explain why.

No monetisation of your trust

Nothing here is sponsored. I have no interest in selling you something. The only thing I'm trying to do is make this information available for anyone who finds it useful.

Most people don't realise how much control they actually have over how they feel day to day. I didn't, for a long time. That realisation — not a dramatic one, just a quiet one — is what this is really about.

Welcome to The Human Runtime. You know yourself better than anyone else on the planet. This is just here to help you listen more carefully.
