High-performing executives are increasingly treating their bodies like their most valuable asset. Here's the playbook the top 1% are following.
The Problem: Success at the Cost of Health
The typical C-suite executive works 60+ hours per week, sleeps poorly, exercises inconsistently, and relies on caffeine and willpower. By 50, the cumulative damage is measurable: elevated cortisol, insulin resistance, declining testosterone, and accelerated biological aging.
The Solution: Systematic Health Optimisation
The same systematic thinking that builds companies can optimise health — if you have the right data and the right team.
Step 1: Comprehensive Baseline
Before any intervention, you need data. A proper executive health assessment includes:
- Full blood panel (100+ markers)
- Hormonal profiling
- Genetic testing (APOE, MTHFR, etc.)
- VO2 max and metabolic testing
- DEXA body composition scan
- Coronary calcium score
Helix Privé provides executive longevity assessments in Singapore that cover all of the above, with results interpreted by physicians specialising in preventive and longevity medicine.
Step 2: Protocol Design
Based on your data, a personalised protocol might include:
- Hormone optimisation (testosterone, thyroid, DHEA)
- NAD+ IV therapy (weekly or bi-weekly)
- Targeted supplementation based on deficiencies
- Peptide therapy for recovery and inflammation
- GLP-1 agonists for metabolic health if indicated
Step 3: Ongoing Monitoring
Quarterly blood work, wearable data review, and protocol adjustments. The best outcomes come from continuous optimisation — not one-off interventions.
The ROI of Executive Health
Consider this: a CEO earning $1M+ per year who loses 10 productive years to preventable disease has lost $10M+ in earnings alone — not counting quality of life, family time, and legacy.
Investing $20-50K annually in comprehensive health optimisation is arguably the highest-ROI investment any executive can make.
