Built for a 100+ year life
A science-backed protocol for lasting vitality and elite healthspan
How serious are you
about your health?
The Calicen Protocol is for those who refuse to settle for average health—and who believe longevity should be lived at its highest potential. It is about using the full power of modern science to optimize healthspan and embracing the possibility of living vibrantly well beyond 100 years.
Calicen is the most comprehensive longevity protocol ever designed, created to help you become a thriving centenarian—strong, clear-minded, and full of vitality at every stage of life.
Longevity is more than adding years—it’s about adding life.
Because a long life is just the start. What matters is the quality of that life: to live fully, purposefully, and energetically until the very last day. This is the standard we all deserve.
Calicen brings together cyclical principles of lifestyle, nutrition, movement, and supplementation into one elegant, repeatable 17-week protocol—simple to follow, endlessly sustainable, and designed for a lifetime of renewal.

The Power of Metabolic Rhythm
Longevity emerges from rhythm, not balance
The human body did not evolve under constant conditions. Growth, repair, fasting, and abundance have always alternated—and our biology still expects this rhythm. Calicen applies this evolutionary truth through the intelligent interplay of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Fats and low carbohydrates shift metabolism toward ketosis, activating AMPK, autophagy, and mitochondrial renewal (Mizushima, 2017; Newman & Verdin, 2014). Reduced protein intake during these phases downregulates mTOR, allowing damaged cells to be cleared rather than endlessly maintained (Blagosklonny, 2006). This is not deprivation—it is precision cleanup.
When carbohydrates and proteins return, the body responds with heightened sensitivity. Insulin signaling, IGF-1, and mTOR are reactivated in a clean metabolic environment, driving muscle growth, tissue repair, and structural resilience (Fontana et al., 2016). What was removed creates space for what is rebuilt.
A homeostatic diet and exercise routine teaches the body to adapt—and then stagnate. Periodization prevents this plateau by alternating signals. Stress followed by recovery. Breakdown followed by construction. Loss followed by gain.
Calicen is not about doing more. It is about timing better. By cycling macros, the protocol restores metabolic flexibility—the defining trait of long-lived organisms—and transforms nutrition into a rhythm that supports strength, regeneration, and longevity well beyond 100.
Carbs & Fats: The Cyclical Balance
Carbs and fats move in opposite directions by design. Low carbs with high fats induce ketosis, favoring cleanup, metabolic flexibility, and cellular pruning. Higher carbs with normalized fats shift the body back into growth mode—supporting muscle gain, regeneration, and performance. This metabolic alternation prevents stagnation: ketosis without wasting, growth without chronic inflammation. In Calicen, carbs and fats work as a coordinated rhythm—one clears the ground, the other builds on it.
Proteins
Protein intake in Calicen follows timing, not dogma. During purge phases, protein is intentionally lowered to reduce mTOR signaling and promote autophagy, cellular recycling, and longevity pathways. In regrowth phases, protein rises to support muscle repair, tissue rebuilding, and structural resilience. This rhythmic approach mirrors natural cycles of breakdown and reconstruction. Protein becomes most effective when delivered at the right moment—after cleanup, when the body is ready to build stronger.
Fats
Fats are the backbone of the purge phase. Elevated fat intake, combined with low carbs, shifts the body toward ketosis—favoring fat oxidation, autophagy, and metabolic efficiency. This phase supports gut rest, inflammation reduction, and the selective loss of dysfunctional or senescent cells. Fats also provide hormonal stability and sustained energy when growth is not the goal. In Calicen, fats are not passive calories—they are tools for deep metabolic renewal.
Carbohydrates
In Calicen, carbohydrates are not constant—they are strategic. During regrowth phases, carbs return to fuel cellular renewal, glycogen restoration, and anabolic signaling. They support thyroid function, training intensity, and microbiome diversity when the body is primed to rebuild. In lower phases, carbs are intentionally reduced to promote metabolic flexibility and deep cellular cleanup. Carbs in Calicen are a signal: when to grow, when to conserve, and when to reset.
