Energy loss with age is rarely about motivation. It ’s about cellular efficiency. One of the lesser-known but increasingly interesting tools in longevity and performance science is GHK-Cu (a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma). Why it matters: GHK-Cu acts as a cellular signaling molecule. Rather than stimulating or forcing performance, it supports the systems that energy and resilience depend on: Mitochondrial function (how efficiently cells produce energy) Cellular...

Stress at senior levels isn’t just about workload. It’s about control. Research shows that cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone—is strongly influenced by our perceived sense of control  at work. High demands with autonomy feel very different, biologically, from high demands without it. The least enjoyable times at work during my finance career were those in which I felt less autonomous. The times when I felt I had little decision making authority, or my opinion was not sufficiently...

While intelligence certainly plays a role in problem-solving, strategic thinking, and decision-making, it becomes increasingly evident that other factors are equally, if not more, critical to sustained success in high-pressure environments. Performance is based also on your energy, clarity, and endurance. Your effectiveness as a...
