\u00a0The Maas Clinic founder Laurens Maas celebrated his 55th Birthday this year. Upon learning of this fact, many clients and friends have asked: \u201cWhat\u2019s your secret Laurens? You look so young!\u201d.<\/p>\n While the perception of looking young is flattering, it is Laurens\u2019 energy, thirst for knowledge and passion for life which land him firmly in the youthful category.<\/p>\n We sat down with Laurens to quiz him on his secrets to maintaining great health into his 50s and beyond!<\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/div> I feel great! For me, this (my health) is a long-term project. I started eating better and taking supplements when I was 14\/15. Dr Peter Attia<\/a> says \u201cthe longer that you live, the more health you practiced when you were younger\u201d. It is my intention to live a very long, very healthy life.<\/p>\n At my age right now, food is #1, regular exercise is #2 and supplements<\/a> is #3.<\/p>\n I regularly test my bloods every 3 – 6 months to see that everything\u2019s in optimum range and make adjustments if needed.<\/p>\n Lifestyle-wise, I practice meditation and yoga, I do community bonding with my pets, drink purified water and connect with nature.<\/p>\n I also practice really good sleep. I\u2019m regular about my sleep times, I\u2019m always in bed by about 10.30 and that\u2019s consistent on a weekend. I like my routines, I like the ability to get feedback on my Oura ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n Incorporating lots of small health habits helps me to focus on my healthspan, not just my lifespan.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>55 and thriving: how The Maas Clinic founder Laurens Maas maintains great health<\/h1>\n
