Julie Gibson Clark, a 56-year-old biohacking enthusiast, has recently gained attention for her remarkable achievement in slowing down her aging process. Recognized by the "Rejuvenation Olympics," Clark has reportedly surpassed even tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, known for his extreme biohacking measures—including the controversial practice of using his son’s blood in a quest to stay youthful. While Johnson's routine is famously high-tech and high-cost, Clark’s approach is refreshingly simple and attainable, costing just $12 a day. Her progress has been scientifically validated by the Dunedin PACE blood test, which measures biomarkers associated with aging, indicating that her biological aging rate is 34% slower than the average person.

Clark’s commitment to health and longevity has deep roots. Growing up as the daughter of a NASA astronaut who flew on the Skylab missions in the 1970s, she was taught early on to treat food as fuel, prioritize nutrition, and maintain a disciplined approach to health. These values resonated with her as an adult, especially as she moved into her 30s, when she began refining her wellness regimen to manage health issues like chronic acid reflux. Now, as a mother of a teenage son and a professional recruiter, Clark’s focus has shifted to long-term health and vitality, aiming to stay active and mentally sharp for as many years as possible.
Over the past 25 years, Clark’s wellness journey has evolved into a comprehensive, yet accessible, regimen. Initially, she started with basic dietary supplements and a commitment to home-cooked meals, which soon led to more substantial changes. She gradually eliminated alcohol from her life, phased out her dependence on antidepressants, and began incorporating stress-management practices. Her approach has always been rooted in sustainable, gradual changes, allowing each new habit to become as ingrained as brushing her teeth. This long-term mindset has helped her maintain a consistent routine that she describes as her “blueprint for longevity.”
Clark’s daily schedule, though structured, is far from rigid. She starts her mornings with prayer and a 7 AM workout, followed by a sauna session and cold shower—what she affectionately calls her “mini spa” experience. Later in the afternoon, she takes a break to meditate, integrating moments of mindfulness into her day. Diet also plays a central role in her routine, with a focus on a colorful array of vegetables, including favorites like purple carrots and sweet potatoes. She aims to consume around a pound of vegetables daily, ensuring a diet rich in fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals. She pairs these vegetables with lean proteins such as chicken, eggs, and locally sourced meats. Spinach, a staple in her diet, is particularly versatile; in the summer, she enjoys it in fresh salads, while in colder months, she blends it into a nourishing “greens latte” as a morning pick-me-up.
Clark’s diet isn’t just based on personal preference but is backed by scientific insights. Medical experts agree that her choices align with evidence-based strategies for supporting brain and heart health. Dr. Dean Sherzai, a renowned expert in dementia prevention, advocates for leafy greens as an essential part of a brain-healthy diet, thanks to their high levels of magnesium, Omega-3s, and B vitamins, all of which support cognitive function, energy, and overall vitality.
Beyond her established habits, Clark remains open to new research and adjustments that could further enhance her health. Recent studies, for example, suggest that hormone therapy and vitamin D supplementation may play a role in supporting healthy aging, particularly for postmenopausal women. Increased vitamin D and calcium intake have been associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, adding yet another layer of potential benefit to Clark’s carefully crafted nutritional approach.
While some longevity enthusiasts and biohackers adopt costly, high-tech interventions, Clark’s method prioritizes simplicity and affordability. She consciously avoids short-term fads and “quick fix” solutions, emphasizing that her routine is intended as a lifelong commitment rather than a fleeting health trend. “You’ve got to figure out your ‘why,’ your intention, and your resources,” Clark emphasized, highlighting that a clear purpose and sustainable practices are essential for anyone seeking to improve their health through biohacking.
In a world where the pursuit of longevity is often equated with expensive treatments and cutting-edge technology, Clark stands out as a practical, disciplined example of what can be achieved through consistent, intentional lifestyle choices. Her routine reflects a commitment to living well, with an emphasis on simplicity, self-discipline, and, above all, a love for life, family, and continuous learning.
