Sleep efficiency
Time asleep against time in bed, measured by your wearable.
A 12-week programme for founders and senior operators who want deeper sleep, energy that holds through the afternoon, body composition that finally moves, and a clear head late in the day. Six domains, run as one system, measured against five markers you agree in week one and see retested in week twelve.
Sleep, training, nutrition, recovery, environment and cognition are usually managed by different specialists, different apps, or no one at all. Each input is treated in isolation. The result is incremental gains that fade and protocols that never compound. No single party runs the full stack with accountability for the result.
The clients who get the most from this are not unwell. They are running demanding companies on a body that has quietly stopped keeping up.
Most performance advice treats each input on its own. We run all six domains as one operating system, adjusted every week against your data, so the gains hold instead of fading.
Optimisation, longevity and personalised health are claimed everywhere. The difference here is structural, not a slogan.
No vague promises. Every engagement is held to five markers you agree at the start and see retested at the end. That is what turns a programme into accountability.
Time asleep against time in bed, measured by your wearable.
The lowest sustained overnight value, tracked as a weekly average.
Lean mass, fat mass, or waist measure, depending on your tier.
A subjective score logged twice daily across the engagement.
Grip, a VO2 estimate, a key lift, or a blood marker. Agreed in week one.
If you choose Core, here is the shape of the twelve weeks. One operator, the same person throughout, quantified at every step.
A 90-minute kickoff, intake, wearable baseline and home environment audit. The five markers that matter for you are agreed and recorded as your starting line.
Your personalised protocol is delivered within five working days. The weekly operating rhythm and the foundational habits are put in place, built to survive a heavy schedule.
Weekly 30-minute calls, daily messaging support and a written review every week. The protocol is adjusted to what your data is showing, not left to run on its own.
A midpoint retest of the five markers. The second half of the programme is reset around what is working and what needs more attention.
Continued execution and refinement as the early gains start to hold. The work shifts from building habits to making them durable.
The five markers are retested against your baseline, with a written summary and a four-week maintenance plan to lock in the result.
These are on-record remarks from clients who agreed to be quoted. They are qualitative, and they are presented as exactly that. Measured results are held to a different standard, set out below.
One person finally owned the whole picture instead of handing me another isolated plan. And a protocol that was clearly built for my schedule, not a template with my name on it.
Best week of sleep I have had in years, and it happened inside the first fortnight.
Energy through the afternoon stopped collapsing. That alone changed how I run my days.
Every engagement is baselined in week one and retested in week twelve. Those figures belong to the client. They are delivered to the client in writing and they go no further. The same discretion covers the existence of the engagement itself, which is the standard clients at this level are entitled to expect and the reason this page is not a wall of numbers.
Where a client gives written authority to publish, the full record is published: the baseline, the retest, the protocol that produced the change, and any marker that did not move. Nothing appears here that has not been measured on the client’s own device against their own baseline. There are no composite clients, no rounded estimates and no figures borrowed from research and presented as outcomes.
The standard the work is held to is published in advance, in full, below.

Human Performance Healthspan is led by Junior O Akwule. He holds an MBA from Duke University, Fuqua School of Business, and has spent his career building and running ventures across trading, energy and advisory, including The Trading Group International, Horus Energy and a board advisory role at VEL.
The same operating discipline he brings to a business is applied here to the system that powers the person running it. One operator, accountable for the whole picture, working with a deliberately small number of clients at a time. Where something sits outside scope, the right specialist is brought in.
At this level of investment you are entitled to know exactly where the boundaries sit, how recommendations are formed, and what happens to your data. All of it is written down.
This is an education, coaching and performance service. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or manage any medical condition, and it does not give medication advice. No claim is made that the programme prevents or treats disease.
Where anything raises a clinical question, work stops on that item and you are referred to a suitably qualified professional, most often your GP or a specialist. Where you already have a clinician or a trainer, the role here is to coordinate, not to override.
The six-domain protocol is built from peer-reviewed research and established practice guidance, applied to your own measured data. Where the evidence is genuinely uncertain, you are told that it is uncertain rather than given a confident answer.
Wearable exports, body measurements and any blood results are special category personal data under UK GDPR. They are processed on the basis of your explicit consent, held only for as long as the engagement and its retention period require, never sold, and exported or deleted on request. Read the privacy notice.
Where a participant is under 18, every session is held jointly with a parent or guardian present, all communication is routed through the parent, and there is no private channel between coach and young person. Read the safeguarding policy.
A limited number of engagements run at any one time, because the operator delivering the programme is the same person throughout. Nothing is subcontracted, and no part of your protocol is written by anyone else.
I have put together a short Home Health Audit for founders and senior operators who want to see where their environment may be quietly undermining sleep, recovery and focus. Five categories, twenty-five checkpoints, a clear scoring system. Most people find one or two changes that meaningfully improve sleep within a week.
A complete digital product, delivered instantly. You receive the course manual, a fillable workbook and 12-week tracker, and a quick-start guide as direct downloads the moment you purchase. No calls, no coach, no scheduling. You run the protocol yourself, on your own terms.
This is not the 1-to-1 programme. It is the system behind it, in your hands, for a fraction of the price. If you later want an operator running it for you, the full £499 is credited toward any 1-to-1 tier.
Three different levels of involvement. The audit is free and carries no obligation. The £499 self-guided fee is credited in full against any 1-to-1 tier if you move up.
A 25-checkpoint review of the environment shaping your sleep, recovery and focus. Score yourself, find one or two changes worth making this week. No purchase, no programme.
The complete system as a set of documents you download and run on your own. No operator, no calls, no support. The £499 is fully credited if you upgrade to 1-to-1.
An operator runs the full stack with you. Weekly calls, daily support, written reviews, five markers retested at week twelve, performance guarantee from Core upward.
Core is the flagship and the tier most clients choose: twelve weeks, fully 1-to-1, guaranteed. Starter is a small group programme for those not yet ready for 1-to-1 work. Premium is not more programme, it is a different level of access.
Core is the complete programme, and for most clients it is the right choice. Premium is not more programme, it is a different level of access: your weekly session held face to face, in person or on video as suits you, your protocol shaped by blood data rather than wearable data alone, same-day priority when the week goes sideways, and a dossier you could hand to your board. If you are choosing between them on price, choose Core.
These sit outside the main programme and are scoped on a private consultation. Most people reading this page want Core.
The full programme run for members of the same household, a couple, or a parent and child, with one operator holding every protocol so the gains reinforce each other at home. Each engagement is scoped and priced on a private consultation, shaped by how many take part and what each person needs.
For anyone whose circumstances do not fit a standard tier. The engagement is designed from a private consultation, whether that means a leaner focused programme built around one or two domains, a fully extended one covering travel, residences and household, or an international engagement delivered where you are. The investment follows the scope.
If, after twelve weeks, fewer than three of your five agreed markers have improved, the engagement continues at no additional cost until they do.
A guarantee is only worth something if the standard is defined before the work starts. Every marker below has a minimum meaningful change attached to it. A one-point flicker on a wearable does not qualify.
| Marker | Counts as an improvement |
|---|---|
| Sleep efficiency | An increase of 3 percentage points or more, comparing your 14-day baseline average with your 14-day week-twelve average. |
| Resting heart rate | A reduction of 2 bpm or more, on the same 14-day baseline to week-twelve comparison. |
| Body composition | A reduction of 2 cm or more at the waist, measured at the same landmark, or a documented improvement in lean mass or fat mass where testing is included in your tier. |
| Daytime energy | An increase of 1.5 points or more on the twice-daily 10-point score, on the same 14-day comparison. |
| Agreed performance marker | The threshold is written into your engagement note in week one, before any work begins, and cannot be revised downward later. |
These terms form part of the engagement agreement signed before work begins. Full contractual wording.
Thirty minutes, working session, no pitch. We map your starting point, define the five markers that would count as a result for you, and I give you a direct read on whether this is a fit. A small number of engagements run at any one time, so the call is a two-way assessment.
