The Body Protocol is a one-page tracker. Score six parts of your body from 0 to 10, read your shape, and choose one practice for the morning, the day and the evening. Keep them for seven days, then score again.
From your thirties your body changes whether you notice or not. Testosterone falls, muscle thins, recovery slows, and energy, drive and mood dip with them. Most men put it down to being busy.
None of that is a verdict. Sleep, strength, daylight and food slow it, and most of them cost nothing. In one study, a week of five-hour nights lowered young men's testosterone as much as ten to fifteen years of ageing. Choose one practice for the morning, the day and the evening, keep them for seven days, and tell one man who will ask you about them.
Small practices, kept for seven days, with one man who will ask you about them.
Ten minutes of daylight outside before your phone
Twenty push-ups and twenty squats before breakfast
A glass of water and five slow breaths, first thing
Walk for every call you can take standing
Protein at every meal, nothing fried at lunch
Stairs, not lifts, all week
Screens off 45 minutes before bed
No food in the two hours before sleep
The same lights-out time, seven nights running
Score six parts of your body, choose your practices, tick each day you keep them and name the man you told. It saves to your Oriva account, so you can come back to it every day.
Your lowest part, which of the other Whole Man areas it has cost you most, and the part to lift first.
Three for the morning, three for the day and three for the evening. You pick one of each.
What happens in your brain and body, what we forget, and what it changes in your body and the rest of your life.
The Body Protocol is also one of the seven protocols in The Whole Man bundle. While the founding round lasts, the bundle costs less than this protocol on its own.
| The Whole Man bundle | The Body Protocol on its own | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $9.95 in the founding round | $20 |
| Protocols | All seven: Body, Mind, Money, Mission, Love, Brotherhood and Meaning | The Body Protocol |

You choose one practice for the morning, the day and the evening, from three options each, so you decide how much time it takes.
You are taken to it as soon as your payment is confirmed. It is also listed under “Your protocol trackers” in My Purchases.
Only you. Your scores, practices and notes are saved to your own account.
Your commitment asks you to name one man you told, who will ask you about it. Who he is stays in your tracker.
You score the six parts again and see both shapes side by side, so you can see what moved.
If you want more than this one area, the bundle is the better deal: all seven protocols, plus the Manifesto, the self-assessment, a seat at the live session and the private group, for $9.95 in the founding round.
A practice, not a promised result. Not medical advice: check with your doctor before you change how you train or eat.
The Body Protocol: your one-page tracker, nine practices to choose from, why it works and three books to read next, for $20.
