In our Health Stack series, Wellworthy taps into its network of health and fitness experts to offer personal insights and recommendations.
Jacob Peters, co-founder of Superpower, a concierge health platform.
Jacob believes that “optimal health requires a proactive approach.” He starts each day with vagal nerve stimulation, a 45-minute sauna or workout, and 10 minutes on a rebounder. “When you’re scaling a fast-growing company, optimizing your body and mind isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential,” says the startup founder.
“My focus is on the foundations: sleep, hydration, detox, and gut health,” he adds.
Here’s Jacob to share his Health Stack:
“This stimulates my vagus nerve on the neck and helps me relax and calm the nervous system to increase HRV. But it’s kind of funny looking and people often mistake it as a sex toy on my desk or nightstand.”
“I do this for 10 mins a day every morning. I sometimes take phone calls on it, and other people don’t know I’m bouncing because of the iphone’s background noise canceling and calibrating functionality! It’s great for lymphatic drainage and getting the circulatory and digestive systems going also.”
“I take these at least 2-3x a day. They are instantly hydrating and so convenient. Full of electrolytes and trace minerals that get removed from high quality water filters. The glass form factor is also fun and a great conversation starter.”
“I can’t sleep without my Oura Ring. I like knowing my HRV and deep sleep percentage over time.”
“Most salt has microplastics, so I love that vera is clean and good tasting. great for salting my water for hydration and cooking!”
“Zeolite is a mineral known for its powerful binding properties, helps trap and remove toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants from the body. Many of us (myself included) are exposed to way too many toxins or have genetic detox impairments that makes it necessary to have something like this on a regular basis.”
“Supporting detox pathways may lead to clearer skin, increased energy, and improved mental clarity, which can be essential for individuals exposed to environmental toxins or those looking to enhance their overall wellness.”
“I take Oral BPC every 2-3 months to help with intestinal tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote gastrointestinal health. ‘Leaky gut’ is a syndrome affecting many of us without even realizing it, so I do a lot to proactively strengthen my intestinal barrier.”
“Superpower for all of my health testing. I do full 100 point blood testing monthly. It stores all of my results over time and makes it easy to get ahead of health issues and proactively make sure I’m operating at my best.”
