Julie Gibson Clark, world-class Rejuvenation Olympian
She's four spots ahead of Bryan Johnson
Julie Gibson Clark, age 55, the world’s top #2 “rejuvenation athlete”
Who we're talking about: Julie Gibson Clark, a 55-year-old single mom from Phoenix, AZ. Clark is currently no. 2 on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard, with her biological aging rate of just 0.665 for each chronological year.
With her #2 rating, Clark happens to sit four spots ahead of Rejuvenation Olympics creator Bryan Johnson, who is spending some $2M a year on his longevity routine.
And the news is: Clark was featured in an article in Fortune magazine published just yesterday. She revealed that her longevity routine is very low-cost, low-tech, and low-hassle, and consists of:
Getting up early, between 4:45 and 5 a.m
Time spent with her son, who motivates her to stay healthy and alive
Gym for strength and cardio workouts
Fasting for about 16 hours overnight, eating her first meal between 10 and 11am
At least three times a week, sauna for 20 minutes before a cold shower
16 ounces of vegetables a day, a mix of raw celery, radishes, carrots, peppers, and blanched broccoli along with a salad or soup
Meditating for 20 minutes in the early afternoon
A $79/month supplement subscription from NOVOS
Why this is a big deal: It's a frequent argument that longevity interventions are and will only ever be for the rich. Bryan Johnson, as much as he has done to raise interest in the topic of longevity, is often held up as an example of the crazy cost and fanatic obsession that longevity interventions demand.
But Clark is a great counterexample. Her entire regimen costs her $27 a month for a gym membership plus $79 for a supplement subscription. "This stuff has to just kind of be like brushing your teeth," Clark said of her longevity routine.
So what can you specifically do now: None of Clark's longevity interventions are likely to be shockingly new to you — and yet they produce results. It's worth integrating some or all of them into your life.
And if you want a few more ideas, the Fortune article features two other women — and their longevity routines — who rank high on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard.
