THE IRIS PROTOCOL™
So You Can Secure Your "Bonus Decade" With Your Kids
P.S. There is nothing you can buy on this call.
Your Ancient Biology vs. Your Modern Schedule
Your body runs on a 2.5-million-year-old operating system.
For most of human history, we ate when the sun was up, slowed down when it was low, and slept when it was dark. Our metabolism, hormones, and brain chemistry all evolved around that rhythm.
Your life in the UAE looks very different:
- Email and WhatsApp lighting up at midnight
- Back-to-back meetings and Zoom calls
- Early alarms after broken sleep
- Late dinners with clients
Your biology is still operating on ancient software, but you are asking it to run a 24/7 executive schedule.
The result:
- Rising cholesterol and blood pressure
- "Borderline" glucose and pre-diabetic labs
- Brain fog, irritability, and emotional flatness
- A constant feeling of being tired but wired
Your health is not failing because you lack discipline.
It is failing because your lifestyle is misaligned with your circadian rhythm.
The 4 Silent Risks of the Modern Parent
When you live out of sync with your biology, you aren't just tired. You are actively feeding the four drivers of aging that standard healthcare often misses until it's too late:
- The Ticker (Heart Health): We look beyond basic cholesterol to ApoB—the particle that actually drives plaque, often invisible in standard tests.
- The Engine (Metabolic Health): Insulin resistance often starts a decade before blood sugar rises. We target it before the "Pre-diabetic" label sticks.
- The Brain (Cognitive Health): Mental sharpness relies on deep sleep "cleaning cycles" (glymphatic drainage) that only happen when your schedule aligns with your biology.
- The Foundation (Cellular Health): Visceral fat (the "stress belly") is not just weight; it is an inflammatory organ that accelerates aging.
Where The Protocol Started
It did not start in a lab. It started with a crayon drawing.
One day, my 6-year-old daughter Iris handed me a piece of paper: a smiling sun above an avocado.
"Daddy, eat when your sun is up."
At that time, I looked like the picture of health:
6 covers of Men's Health, strong in the gym, successful at work.
Inside, my body was breaking down:
- Hypogonadism
- Testosterone deficiency
- Crushing fatigue during the day
- Anxiety that kept me wired at night
- A constant feeling of being there in body, but absent in energy
Lab report at age 29 – clinically low testosterone despite "perfect" external health. Proof that my biology was collapsing long before it showed on the outside.
I was living completely out of sync with my circadian rhythm.
I wasn't eating when my sun was up.
I wasn't sleeping when my sun was down.
That simple sentence from Iris became the foundation of everything that followed.
Today, I serve as Chief Wellness Officer for the UAE's largest bank, helping thousands of employees protect their biology while performing at a high level.
But more importantly, I am the father I always wanted to be: fully present, fully awake.
The IRIS Protocol™ was built from that transformation.
The Shift Worker Paradox
Parents rarely think of themselves as shift workers.
Biologically, many of them are.
Common patterns we see:
"Pre-diabetic" Mornings
Your glucose behaves like you've eaten dessert for breakfast, even when you think you're eating clean.
"Toxic" Brain Afternoons
Between 2 PM and 5 PM your brain feels slow, your patience disappears, and you rely on caffeine just to feel "ok."
"Stress Belly" That Ignores the Gym
Visceral fat around the midsection that does not respond to normal diets or training, driven more by cortisol rhythm than calories.
This is what happens when circadian rhythm is disrupted for years.
You can't out-train or out-supplement a biology that is being asked to live like a night shift worker.
Note on Future-Proofing: As a parent, you meticulously plan for your children's education and financial security. But most parents leave their own health to chance. The Iris Protocol is Proactive Family Stewardship—treating your biology like the foundation of your family's future to prevent the "marginal decade" of frailty later.
How Will Your Kids Experience You at 50, 60, and 70?
Most health reports talk about risk, but...
How are your kids likely to experience you as a parent at 50, 60 and 70?
Early in the program, we take your current biomarkers and lifestyle data and build two trajectories:
Path A – The Default Future:
A projection of where your current biomarkers are leading you—often toward a "Marginal Decade" of medication dependency and watching your family from the sidelines.
Path B – The "Bonus Decade":
The functional capacity you could have. We use a method called Backcasting—planning backward from age 90 to ensure you can still travel, play, and be fully present in your final decades.
In one glance, you'll see:
- How much energy you're likely to have for work and your family
- How sharp your thinking will be at work and at home
- How your medication load could evolve over time
Once you've seen your IRIS Report, health stops being an abstract "I should" and becomes a
concrete decision:
Quick Self-Check
Answer these questions honestly:
Do you feel more tired at 3 PM than you do at 11 PM?
Do you need sugar or caffeine to function after lunch?
Do you sleep 7+ hours but still wake up feeling unrested?
If you answered "yes" to any of these, there is a high chance your biological age is running ahead of your passport age.
The good news: this is reversible when you stop fighting your biology and start engineering it.
Your Personal Sun / Shadow Map
Most advice tells you what to eat or how to train. Very few people show you when your biology is ready for each demand.
Your Sun / Shadow map is a visual of your biological day, built from your chronotype.
Sun Zones:
These are your green lights.
- Best windows for deep work and strategic thinking
- Best times for your main meals
- Ideal periods for training and movement
Shadow Zones:
These are your red flags.
- Hours when heavy meals are more likely to spike glucose and store fat
- Times when late-night emails and blue light hit your hormones hardest
- Periods where your brain and nervous system need recovery, not stimulation
Once you see your map, your decisions become effortless:
- You know when to push and when to protect
- You stop guessing and start living in sync with your biology
- Your calendar finally works with your body, not against it

Strategy for The Bear
You follow the solar cycle. Energy rises mid-morning. Tackle your hardest task ("Eat the Frog") between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Avoid high-stakes decision making after dinner.
3 Optimization Vectors
By the time you get a diagnosis, the damage is already done. But don't lose faith; our approach fixes biological dysfunction and gives you the energy to be the parent you want to be.
Nutrition Timing
- Sync meal timing with insulin sensitivity peaks
- Glucose Architecture: Use CGM data to flatten spikes and protect energy
- Protein Pacing: Hit specific targets to arrest muscle loss (sarcopenia)
Sleep Optimization
- Rebuild sleep architecture for maximum recovery
- Neuro-Protection: Optimize Deep and REM cycles to clear metabolic waste (Glymphatic system)
- Sync light exposure with melatonin production
Stress Resilience
- Restore healthy cortisol rhythm patterns
- Zone 2 Foundation: Build mitochondrial efficiency to improve fat oxidation
- VO2 Max Optimization: Improve the single strongest clinical marker for longevity
How The IRIS Protocol Works
- Week 1: Comprehensive metabolic audit using CGM, HRV tracking, sleep architecture analysis, and chronotype mapping.
- Week 2–6: Implement your personalized Sun / Shadow Map.
- Week 7–12: Fine-tune based on biomarker feedback and your travel/meeting schedule.
- Week 13–16: Establish sustainable systems so you can run this protocol independently.

The Investment
(Personalized Based on Your Metabolic Profile)
You wouldn't leave your children's future to chance. Why manage your biology by guessing?
The Iris Protocol is a long-term investment strategy for your body. We apply the same rigor to your physiology that you apply to raising your family.
The Return on Investment is simple: You are buying time. Not just years added to the end (Lifespan), but quality added to the middle (Healthspan).
The investment is a fraction of the cost of a single night in an ICU, and infinitely less than the cost of a lost decade of vitality.
We don't work with everyone.
First, we conduct a comprehensive audit to determine if we can help you.
Our Guarantee: We track your biomarkers, sleep quality, HRV, and energy levels throughout the 16 weeks. If they don't improve significantly, we keep working with you at no additional cost until they do.
