The 6+2 Protocol

Simple, measurable health targets that can add years to your life and life to your years
Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure

Keeping your blood pressure in the optimal range protects your heart, brain, and entire cardiovascular system from premature aging.

Target: Less than 125/85

Healthy Weight icon

Healthy Weight

Maintaining a healthy BMI or waist circumference reduces inflammation and supports optimal metabolic function.

Target: BMI 21-29.9 or

Waist < ½ Height

Blood Sugar icon

Blood Sugar Control

Stable blood sugar levels protect against diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive decline while supporting healthy aging.

Target: FBS <107 or

HgBA1C <5.6, Uric Acid <5.0

Cholesterol Management icon

Cholesterol Management

Optimal cholesterol levels, especially LDL, significantly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Target: LDL < 70

Tobacco Free icon

Tobacco-Free Living

Eliminating tobacco and nicotine exposure is one of the most powerful steps you can take for longevity.

Target: No Cotinine in Urine

Stress Free icon

Stress Management

Active stress management protects your telomeres, reduces inflammation, and supports both mental and physical health.

Target: Active Stress Management Program

Why These Metrics Matter

The biological mechanisms behind each element of the 6+2 protocol and interconnected health systems

The 6+2 protocol isn't about isolated health markers—it's about optimizing the interconnected systems that control aging at the cellular level.

Each metric influences the others: better blood pressure improves cardiovascular health, which in turn supports brain function, enhances stress management, reduces inflammation, and protects against chronic disease.

This systemic approach addresses the root causes of aging rather than just treating symptoms.

Supporting Research Evidence: 

  • Framingham Heart Study (70+ years of cardiovascular data)
  • Nurses' Health Study (lifestyle factors and longevity)
  • Blue Zones research (centenarian populations)
  • Telomere length studies (cellular aging markers)
  • PREDIMED trial (Mediterranean diet outcomes)
