Jack Dorsey’s strict wellness regimen sounds extreme, but there’s science to back most of it up

The billionaire CEO of Twitter TWTR, -0.23% and Square SQ, -2.78% gave a lengthy interview to the “Ben Greenfield Fitness: Diet, Fat Loss and Performance” podcast last month, where he detailed the two-hour meditations, frequent food fasts and alternating saunas and ice baths that he does daily to keep his mind and body healthy.

Intermittent fasting Dorsey’s restrictive diet entails only eating between 6:30 and 9 p.m. on weeknights, when his single meal consists of fish, chicken or steak with a salad or side of veggies, with berries or dark chocolate for dessert. He takes supplements during the day, and said, “I feel so much more focused,” and that he’s realized “how much of our days are centered around meals.” He doesn’t eat between Friday evening and Sunday evening at all, and breaks his fast with bone broth.

He’s also getting very little carbs and fiber, which has been linked with heart problems and early death. “My two biggest concerns with Jack’s diet is the possible lack of dietary fiber and that it is just not sustainable in the long run,” said Zuckerbrot. Do not attempt this without a doctor’s supervision.

Plus, this morning schlep alone puts him at about the recommended 10,000 steps a day, and closer to the advised 150 minutes of exercise a week. And walking is an inexpensive, low-impact aerobic exercise; someone weighing 150 pounds who walks for an hour would burn around 250 calories. High-intensity interval training and seven-minute workouts Dorsey supplements his walks by sweating with a seven-minute bodystrength workout from the Seven app; there are similar programs on the Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout and the 7 Minute Workout Challenge. And he does high-intensity interval training on a stationary bike during the days when he doesn’t walk to work. HIIT entails short bursts of intense exercise alternated with rest breaks .

He described alternating between a 37-degree ice bath for three minutes followed by sitting in a 220-degree barrel sauna for 15 minutes, and repeating that three times. He’s also added a portable infrared SaunaSpace tent to the mix, which emits near-infrared rays that SaunaSpace claims promote cellular regeneration and detox the body, which helps prevent aging, injuries and illnesses.
