I'm a longevity doctor. These are my daily habits to stay young
Dr Mohammed Enayat is a London-based GP and the Founder of HUM2N Longevity Clinic. Here, he walks us through how he structures his day, making simple tweaks to his diet and lifestyle, to ensure he lives a longer, healthier life. I'm up at 6am every day and the first thing I do is take myself out to the garden to do some breathing. I live with my parents in their house in north-east London at the moment, and they're lucky enough to have a lovely garden. I moved in with them 18 months ago just as I was opening my longevity clinic HUM2N. It made sense financially for me as I was setting up my business, but they're also in their mid-70s now and being there means I can spend more quality time with them. I'm getting married this summer and then I'll split my time between my parents' and my future wife's, who lives on the Kent coast. Once I'm outside, I'll do breathing exercises or pray for a few minutes, but just putting my bare feet on the ground helps me to wake up. Even when it's been raining! Then, I'll brush my teeth and hop in the shower. Only then do I switch my mind to work, looking at my phone and checking emails and messages. I rarely eat breakfast because I've worked out I feel more energised when I do intermittent fasting. So I'll have my last meal of the day by 8.30pm, and then my first meal at lunch. It means I'm carbohydrate free for the whole morning, so biologically, I'm in a fasted state five days a week. When you haven't eaten for 10-12 hours, glycogen stores in the liver become depleted, and so your body begins breaking down protein and fat stores for energy. Before I leave for work, I'll take my morning supplements with some water. I'm always adjusting the amount and the ones I take depending on what my body needs. I take up to eight some days, but others I don't take any at all. I have annual blood tests taken at my own clinic that help me decide on which supplements to take. These tests aren't typically available on the NHS, but will look at an extensive list of 120 biomarkers that indicate what's going on in our bodies – from our immune system to our hormones and digestive health – and identify areas of health that need attention. I'm 41 now, and I do think your 40s can be a slippery slope in terms of health, which is why the annual blood test is worth doing. People don't become sick overnight. There are silent things that can accumulate in the body and if you can catch these as early as possible, you can do something about it. This turns medicine on its head a bit, because we're not looking to treat an individual symptom or organ, we're looking to treat a whole human. As a doctor, I find I can improve people's health much better when I'm looking at all of their systems together, rather than in bits and pieces. The last time I had my blood tests taken, I discovered elevated levels of the protein zonulin in my blood, indicating I have a leaky gut at the moment. That's where the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, allowing bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to leak into the bloodstream. So now I'm on a supplement plan that contains L-glutamine, digestive enzymes, and probiotics. I've also removed dairy from my diet for now as it was flagged as one of the leaky gut drivers for me. I've noticed that my bloating has gone down and the dry skin I was also experiencing has gone away. The blood test also showed that I have adrenal fatigue too, and that my stress responding hormones aren't working as well as they should be. Symptoms that people can look out for are feeling 'wired but tired', getting colds and flus more often, and feeling generally run down. As well as taking supplements to help with this, I'm being more mindful of my workload, and making sure I'm bringing down my cortisol levels in the evening with a few minutes of meditation or deep breathing. I'm also taking peptides to support tissue repair and recovery as I'm doing a lot of strength training ahead of my wedding. One of these peptides is called BPC 157, and the other is called Ipamorelin. I commute on the Central Line from my parent's home to my clinic in South Kensington and it takes about an hour. I'll listen to podcasts on the way. At the moment I've been listening to Robin Sharma, humanitarian, author of The Wealth Money Can't Buy, which I enjoyed a lot. I'll also plan for the day ahead by taking notes or journaling. I have my first coffee at around 9am, before starting my day at work. Every day is different, and I have some days where I'm seeing back-to-back clinical patients, and then some that are full of management meetings with my team. I try to take some of those meetings as walking meetings so that I can get my steps up, and get some more daylight and fresh air. I love my patient time because I love working with people. I do a day a week as a GP with the NHS, so most weeks I'm working six days. Within the week, I also spend about 20 per cent of time educating my team and leading in-house learning with different specialists and building out our team of experts. It's full on, but I feel like I have important work to do that will hopefully help people. At lunchtime, I take an hour and a half break and go for strength and conditioning training at a nearby gym which, at the moment, is focused on my core and posterior strength development. I'd started to get some back pain from being quite sedentary. It's not too bad yet, but I wanted to prevent it from becoming a bigger issue. I'm getting married in August, which is really motivating me to get fitter and healthier, because that can slip when you're busy. I've got my sights set on a really nicely-fitted suit. I also do boxing once or twice a week, and that's my cardio. My training regime does tend to vary. I love to be outside when I can, so in the warmer months I'll do my boxing and circuits outdoors. On the days that I'm not commuting, I try to go for a run outside or do some skipping. You should always make time to move your body, it's one of the most important things you can do for your mental and physical health. If I feel like I need something to keep me going until lunchtime, I'll have a smoothie with blueberries, a scoop of almond butter, 22g of collagen protein, greens powder, oat milk and water. Once my training is done, I have my first meal of the day. Usually that's something with good, clean protein – like a salmon fillet or tuna steak – with lots of vegetables. Because I'm doing strength training at the moment I want to make sure my protein levels are extra high, so I'll have that along with a protein shake. I change the protein source in the shake, and go through periods of using a pea-based protein or a beef collagen protein, sometimes a whey protein. I'm using a collagen peptide protein at the moment. I'll have lunch in the eating area at my clinic and chat to whoever's around. I'll take 25 minutes there without my phone before heading back to work. Then I work through until around 7pm and try to miss rush hour if I can. On the way home I'll be journaling again, emptying my thoughts before I get home. I use this time to reflect on work, relationships, home, finances, and check-in on what's coming up. Once I'm home I have my final meal of the day. I do two or three days a week vegetarian, and only eat red meat once a week. Otherwise, I have a good portion of chicken or fish with a nice two-thirds of my plate as vegetables, depending on what's seasonal. I vary these throughout the week to make sure I'm getting a good mix of fibre and micronutrients. I'll have broccoli, potatoes, squash, turnips, cabbage, peas, courgettes, asparagus. I really enjoy cooking. I'll do meal prep for the week ahead on Sundays, and cook dinner at least twice a week for my family. One of my favourites at the moment is a nice oven-roasted chicken with ras el hanout, an Algerian spice mix. It's got turmeric in it, which is a great anti-inflammatory. I love extra virgin olive oil too, so I usually drizzle that over my dinner, with a bit of Himalayan salt. The oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, and the salt is less processed than standard table salt. I'm from the Indian subcontinent – and if mum's cooked, it's usually a nice curry. I'm not a big rice eater, but if I do have rice it'll be wild rice, because it's better for the digestive tract. My parents taught me the importance of working hard. If your relationship with work is unhealthy, that can be ageing. But if you develop a healthy relationship with your work, and find purpose and mission in it, it can improve longevity. My mum and dad showed me that work can give you your get up and go. I also inherited meditation and prayer from my parents, which is a big part of their approach to longevity and managing life's stresses. They've passed me so much wisdom throughout my life, so it's great to have an opportunity to share some of my own wisdom with them and support them as they get older. Caffeine doesn't affect me too much so I have a cup of tea with unsweetened oat milk in the evening before bed. I aim to be in bed around 10.30pm, and keep my bedroom slightly cooler by leaving my windows open. I've always been a decent sleeper but I do still track my sleep, aiming to get two hours of deep sleep a night. I won't watch TV before bed, and I keep my room a phone-free zone. I strongly believe deep sleep supports regeneration and healing and helps to balance your immune system. A lot of other good stuff happens during deep sleep, like cell and tissue repair, memory consolidation, and hormone regulation. Living in a city like London where everyone is go, go, go all the time, you absorb people's energy and momentum. It's easy to get caught up in that to the detriment of your own health, and your goals. Getting out of that environment from time to time is super important, so I head to the coast when I can. To help regulate my nervous system in the city, learning to tolerate cold exposure has been really helpful. I have cold showers a few times a week, and three times a week at home I use a large bowl of cold water with some ice cubes in. It needs to be deep enough for me to submerge my head in, and I keep it in for about 10-20 seconds. I find this to be a really good challenge that helps to teach me to control my stress response as I come out of the cold water. The fear of going into the icy water is a bit of a mental challenge, which turns into a biological stress response when you start breathing rapidly. It's helped to train me to let my body know that it's going to be fine. Learning to be calm and present and empty my mind in this situation means I can manage stress better when it comes up in other areas of my life.

Our bodies' biological age: No simple ‘hack' to change how lifestyle and time treat us
IT'S no secret that wellness fads come as quickly as they go. From the low-fat diets of the noughties to the UPF-free food of today, society loves indulging in the newest health hack. The newest wellness trend to emerge is 'biohacking'. You may have heard of it via American entrepreneur Bryan Johnson's infamous anti-ageing quest, or simply by the numerous podcasts that now discuss cell health and biological age. But what really is biohacking? How do you find out your biological age? And does it really determine how long you'll live for? Doctors specialising in stem cell and longevity research explain what biological age really means, how to lower it, and why it's fast becoming the ultimate wellness metric in modern medicine. What is biological age? Biological age — a measurement of how well your body is functioning based on factors like lifestyle, stress, and cellular health — is different to chronological age, as it isn't fixed and you can reverse it. According to longevity experts, biological age provides a more accurate picture of health span than the candles on our birthday cake. And increasingly, it's being treated as something we can influence. The CEO of Cellcolabs, Dr Mattias Bernow, who provided the stem cells for biohacker Bryan Johnson, explains that this measurement is 'a marker of how old your body seems based on your health, lifestyle, and cellular function.' In other words, you might be 50 on paper, but living like someone 35 — or 65. 'Two people who are both 40 years old chronologically might have very different biological ages depending on how they live, their stress levels, their metabolic health and more,' says GP and the founder of longevity clinic HUM2N, Dr Mohammed Enayat. The biggest culprits behind accelerated ageing are changeable: chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of exercise, ultra-processed foods, and environmental toxins are major accelerants. What accelerates biological ageing? The good news is that many of the biggest culprits behind accelerated ageing are changeable. Both Enayat and Bernow point to chronic stress, poor sleep, lack of exercise, ultra-processed foods, and environmental toxins as major accelerants. Parenting itself doesn't inherently age the body but, as Enayat points out, the chronic sleep deprivation and stress associated with caregiving certainly can. Inflammation is another central player. 'These factors contribute to increasing low-grade inflammation,' Bernow explains, 'which plays a key role in age-related decline and the development of chronic disease.' However, he says, this process is not set in stone. 'While we can't control everything, small, consistent changes to reduce these stressors can make a meaningful difference in how we age.' Which lifestyle changes have the strongest scientific backing? When it comes to slowing the clock, it turns out the best advice isn't ground-breaking – it's just often overlooked. Quality sleep, regular physical activity, a balanced whole-food diet, meaningful relationships, and avoiding harmful substances all rank highly on the evidence-based list. Enayat also points to practices such as caloric moderation, intermittent fasting, and resistance training for their 'strong results in slowing biological ageing at a cellular level'. However, these diets impact each sex differently, with intermittent fasting in particular causing more stress on women's bodies while being effective for men, meaning they will affect biological age differently. Though it's tempting to think of ageing as a genetic lottery, our DNA doesn't write the full script. How big a part do genetics play? Though it's tempting to think of ageing as a genetic lottery, our DNA doesn't write the full script. 'Genes load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger,' Enayat says, noting that genetics may only account for 20 to 30% of ageing outcomes. Bernow says that emerging research suggests as much as 80% of ageing is governed by one's environment and behaviour. Supplements can claim everything from healthier skin to better energy to thicker hair — but it's fair to be sceptical of whether they really make a difference, or if it's all marketing. Do supplements make a difference? Supplements can claim everything from healthier skin to better energy to thicker hair — but it's fair to be sceptical of whether they really make a difference, or if it's all marketing. However, there are some supplements that have been proven to be helpful if taken correctly and absorbed properly. 'Protein is essential for preserving muscle mass,' says Enayat, while collagen 'may help with skin and joint health,' though its systemic anti-ageing benefits are modest. Fish oil, magnesium, creatine, and polyphenols all show promise too, but Enayat is keen to emphasise that supplements should support — not replace — healthy habits. Bernow cautions that while some supplements, like vitamin D, are well-supported (especially in sun-deprived regions), many products on the market are poorly regulated. 'Supplements are not a substitute for healthy habits,' he says, 'but in some cases, they can play a supportive role if used thoughtfully.' How to find out your biological age? If you're curious to find out your own biological age, figuring it out requires a blood test. 'The most validated tests look at DNA methylation patterns,' says Enayat, and suggests well-known tests like the Horvath Clock, GlycanAge, and TruAge. Bernow says that Bryan Johnson uses the DunedinPace test, which claims to show he's ageing at just 0.66 years per calendar year (66% of his chronological age). As for how these experts practise what they preach, they say it's all about balance and consistency. Enayat's daily habits include walking, strength training, or stretching, prioritising plants and healthy fats, regular fasting, cold exposure, and supplementing with omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium, and creatine. 'The goal is consistency, not perfection,' he says. Bernow takes a similar approach, but with less exercise and more socialising — explaining he takes a short morning workout, has plenty of family time, eats balanced meals and drinks minimal alcohol. 'More than anything, I believe in consistency,' he says. 'Longevity isn't about extremes but about the things you do every day, for years.' So, while biohacking might conjure visions of futuristic and expensive tech, the real secret to ageing well is actually much simpler: Prioritise balance and relaxation.

Meet the London doctor who is 41 but biologically 24; here's his secrets to living younger revealed
Some ageing signs around the age of 41 are most expected, like tiredness, slower metabolism and longer recovery. But, in contrast to the statement and common observations, Dr. Mohammed Enayat, a London primary care physician and creator of the HUM2N longevity clinic, is defying the diagnostics. With a cutting-edge and rigorous lifestyle regimen, according to the reports, Enayat says his biological age is only 24 which means 17 years younger than his real age. This happened not because of any magic pill or any cleansing but it is actually the result of self-tracking, scientific understanding and regimen of potent supplements. Biologically 17 years younger than his real age; Dr Enayat reveals his lifestyle secret Dr. Enayat has used his body as a living lab for the last seven years. He tracks his vital health data such as sleep, activity, and recovery using wearable tech like the Oura Ring and the Whoop strap. In addition to that, he takes regular in-depth tests on his blood, urine, and gut microbiome. These points enable him to adjust his diet, exercise regimes, and supplement intake with accuracy. To determine his biological age, Enayat uses sophisticated tools such as GlycanAge and TruAge PACE, which evaluate inflammation and epigenetic markers. His latest scan, done 18 months ago, revealed his biological age at 24. However, he emphasizes that supplements are just half the story: According to Business Insider reports: "While I think these supplements have aided my biological aging reversal, I attribute them as one piece in a much larger universe. " Which 3 core supplement constants used by Dr. Enayat While his supplement regimen changes according to the needs of his body, three have been the constants. These are his core supplements: B complex with folate, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. B Complex with Folate Part of Dr. Enayat's daily supplement intake stems from an individual genetic concern, a methylation defect that causes homocysteine to accumulate, making inflammation and heart disease more likely. To counter this, he takes a methylated B complex with folate, which helps to bring homocysteine levels to normal. He also advises taking B vitamins during periods of high stress or inadequate sleep, when the body demands them. Possible advantages are: Improved mood and cognitive abilities Decreased inflammation Decreased risk of dementia Magnesium Even after consuming magnesium-fortified foods such as leafy greens and legumes, Dr. Enayat found that his magnesium levels were always low. He takes magnesium bisglycinate, a type that is highly absorbed and easy on the digestive system. He says: "When I take magnesium, my muscles hurt less and I go to sleep more easily." Magnesium aids in more than 300 enzymatic processes, and deficiency may not be evident. Even if a mere 2% of Americans are clinically deficient, many are functioning at less-than-optimal levels. Omega-3 fatty acids Famous for maintaining heart health, omega-3 fatty acids also lower systemic inflammation and maintain cognitive function. Although Enayat consumes omega-3-rich foods such as fish and walnuts, he supplements to guarantee daily consumption. According to the recent study published, Nature Aging discovered that adults who took 1 gram of omega-3 per day had biologically younger profiles than their counterparts who did not reflect its potential for longevity. Dr. Enayat introduces test-driven path to better health Dr. Enayat is part of a new generation of medical practitioners where clinical knowledge intersects with data-supported self-care. He neither suggests his regimen is one-size-fits-all nor advises everyone to follow the same steps. Rather, he suggests starting with testing, personalizing the process, and being persistent. "Supplements won't make you immortal," he concedes, "but when paired with wisdom and discipline, they can enable you to live younger, longer. " Do you also want to turn back your biological age? Maybe, with wise scientific strategies and foundational supplements anything more than you think might be possible.

He is biologically 24 years old at the age of 41, and his longevity secret involves 3 key supplements
Dr. Mohammed Enayat, a 41-year-old longevity expert from London, claims his biological age is just 24. By tracking his health with wearables and diagnostics, he tailors his lifestyle and relies on three daily supplements—B complex with folate, magnesium, and omega-3s. (Screenshot: Instagram/bydr.e) At 41, most people brace for midlife fatigue. But Dr. Mohammed Enayat, a primary care physician and founder of HUM2N longevity clinic in London, is defying that narrative. With cutting-edge diagnostics and a personalized wellness regime, Enayat claims his biological age is just 24—a full 17 years younger than what his passport states. What's behind this age-defying transformation? According to a report from Business Insider , it's not a magic elixir or an exotic detox. It's a meticulous science-backed regimen driven by relentless self-monitoring, strategic lifestyle choices, and three humble yet powerful supplements. For the past seven years, Dr. Enayat has treated his body like a data lab. He wears devices like the Oura Ring and the Whoop strap to monitor his sleep, recovery, and activity. On top of that, he undergoes frequent blood, urine, and microbiome testing. These insights help him fine-tune everything from nutrition to training—and yes, his supplement stack. While the definition of 'biological age' is still a topic of debate, Enayat uses metrics from GlycanAge and TruAge PACE, which assess inflammation and epigenetic changes. His most recent results—taken 18 months ago—indicated a biological age of 24. But Enayat is the first to admit: supplements are just a part of the bigger puzzle. 'While I believe these supplements have supported my biological age reversal, I credit them as one component in a much broader framework,' he told Business Insider .

These are what he calls his 'core' supplements. One reason Dr. Enayat includes this duo daily is a personal one. 'I have a methylation gene defect,' he said, referring to a condition that leads to elevated homocysteine levels—a marker that increases inflammation and risk for cardiovascular disease. To combat this, he relies on a methylated B complex with folate to normalize his levels. Even without this genetic predisposition, Enayat recommends B vitamins during periods of stress or sleep deprivation, when the body's demand for them increases. The benefits? Improved mood, better brain health, and potential dementia prevention. Despite magnesium being plentiful in foods like dark leafy greens and legumes, Enayat says his levels are consistently low. He turns to magnesium bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form, to fill the gap. 'When I take magnesium, my muscles ache less and I fall asleep more easily,' he noted. While only 2% of Americans are thought to be deficient in magnesium, it remains essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Known for their heart-healthy reputation, omega-3 fatty acids also make Enayat's daily lineup. Found naturally in fish, walnuts, and chia seeds, omega-3s reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure. For those who don't get enough through diet—like Enayat—a supplement can help close the gap. A recent Nature Aging study added further intrigue, showing that older adults who consumed a gram of omega-3 daily had younger biological ages than those who didn't. Dr. Enayat is the face of a growing movement where medicine, technology, and personal agency intersect. While he doesn't present his regimen as a universal blueprint, his case offers an exciting glimpse into what's possible when modern science meets old-school discipline. So, can you turn back your biological clock? Maybe not overnight—but for Enayat, it starts with knowing your numbers, trusting the data, and supporting your body from the inside out. Supplements might not be the secret to immortality, but in the right hands, they just might be a step toward living younger, longer.
