An Australian entrepreneur and TV personality has revealed the detailed steps he took to reverse his biological age.
Nick Bell, a 45-year-old businessman with an estimated $274million net worth, recently shared his remarkable health transformation in an online post - and explained precisely what he did to look better at 45 than he did over a decade earlier.
The Shark Tank Australia judge recently took to Instagram to explain how in his mid 40s he now had 'the energy and appearance of my 28-year-old self'.
To prove it, Nick shared a 'before' picture taken at age 34, accompanied by a more recent 'after' shot.
Across an Instagram carousel of notes, the businessman proceeded to break down how he had achieved his health transformation.
'How I reversed my biological age to 28 from 45: a 30-second step-by-step guide,' he wrote.
The post was neatly divided into sections on diet, supplements, skin, hair, sleep, daily habits, life habits and 'nice-to-haves'.
'Test these out, and I promise you'll start aging backwards,' Nick said.
DIET
Nick offered the details of his morning routine along with the food guidelines he followed during the day.
'Morning: As soon as I wake, lemon water with salt. I generally fast for 14 hours (any longer, cortisol rises),' he said.
After this, he enjoys an organic matcha with hot water.
For the remainder of the day, Nick said that most of his meals are animal-based. On the menu are things like grass fed meat, eggs and seafood.
Fruits are also a daily occurrence - but perhaps surprisingly Nick admitted he has 'some veggies' but rarely.
His two 'sometimes foods' are rice and dark chocolate.
And the final golden diet rule? His last meal is always by 6pm.
SUPPLEMENTS
One of the most-detailed sections of Nick's post was a laundry list of supplements that he takes in the mornings and evenings.
Starting the day with what he described as his 'morning stack', Nick shared a 14-point list of supplements.
Among his morning supplements intake are collagen, creatine, NAD, stinging nettle and magnesium glycine.
At night time, Nick's supplement intake continues with what he describes as his 'sleep stack'.
The six supplements he has are glycine, spermidine, oleamide, my-inositol and magnesium threonate.
SKIN & HAIR
Nick credited the marked change in his outward appearance to a number of unconventional hair and skin treatment measures.
For his skin, Nick uses a 'beef tallow' moisturiser.
He also has been undergoing Tixel skin rejuvenation treatments for 'eye bags'.
He also underwent 'PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to beef up collagen'.
PRF treatment involves using a patient's own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate healing, which is done by drawing a blood sample, and centrifuging it, before re-applying to the skin.
As for hair, Nick's recommendations were focused on stopping his hair from turning grey.
As part of his evening supplements routine, he takes 'spermidine', which he claimed 'drastically reversed my greying hair.'
Nick also uses Mayraki hair care products, which he said additionally helped 'restore' his 'original hair colour'.
The founder of multi-million marketing firm WME also said he was trying a 'red light cap', which is essentially an LED light for your scalp, but added that 'the jury is still out' on its effectiveness.
SLEEP
Nick's first unusual recommendation among his sleep tips was mouth tape.
'I was a mouth breather, this completely changed the shape of my face,' he said.
He also listed 'nose tape' and a 'silk eye mask' as measures to improve beauty sleep.
Trendy 'grounding bed sheets' were also among Nick's recommendations, which he believed assisted with 'inflammation.'
For the uninitiated, these sheets are woven with conductive materials like silver or carbon fibres, which claim to 'connect you to the Earth's electrical energy as you sleep'.
Finally, Nick said he uses Sensate, a sensory device that emits vibrations and sound, 'for meditation'.
EXERCISE & DAILY HABITS
Exercise-wise, Nick completes 20 minutes of bike or sledding daily as his cardio workout.
He also undertakes weights sessions four to five times per week, aiming for 45 minutes per session.
Some of his other daily lifestyle habits include taking ice baths, hopping in the sauna at least four times per week, stretching in the evening and being in bed by 10pm.
In a section that described his daily lifestyle health habits, Nick explained that he went in the sauna four times per week and also regularly took ice baths, explaining that he's 'prone to inflammation' (Stock image pictured)
He also has a number of rules around hydration. He drinks water with salt, tries to only drink from glass bottles and only has filtered drinking water.
Nick also carries around a 'Portable Red light for eye sight (679nm)'.
Speaking of light, Nick also suggested 'no blue light after 8pm' - like the ones emitted from smart phone screens.
He also touched on his drinking habits.
'I cut down my binge drinking significantly, he wrote.
'If I do drink, it's vodka with water or coconut water or wine in moderation.'
NICE-TO-HAVES
The final section of the millionaire's health recommendations saw him share a list of 'great add-ons' to check out 'if you have access or budget'.
The first was a hyperbaric chamber, which Nick suggested using three to four times per week.
The next was 'exosome infusions', an IV treatment which claim to promote healing and cell regeneration.
Further to his previous suggestions around water consumption, Nick recommended installing home water filtration systems and even explained that he'd 'converted my pool to a chlorine free pool'.
Finally, he said he'd also installed 'EMF protectors throughout the house', which are said to reduce or redirect the electromagnetic field within a space.
The lengthy post shared by Nick resulted in a number of intrigued replies.
The most-liked one was a critique from Australian fitness coach, Katie Appleby.
'This all sounds great (albeit expensive), and I love that it's worked for you! But as advice for the general population, it's really not the best starting point,' Katie wrote.
'If someone's not consistently nailing the basics (quality sleep, hydration, daily movement, 3x/week strength training, enough protein (1.6–2.2g/kg), fruit & veg, and stress management) no stack or grounding sheet in the world is going to make a dent.
'Most people don't need more hacks, they need more consistency with the fundamentals,' she concluded.
Always see your GP or trained medical professional before making any lifestyle ir supplement changes that could impact your health or wellbeing.
