From ice baths to biohacking and breathwork, how men are rewriting what health looks like

Jian Wong Yen’s best hour of the day happens before anyone else is awake. He’s up at 5am; in summer it’s 4am. The world is dark and silent, nobody wants anything from him. It’s when he does his best thinking. He eats straight away, an unprocessed breakfast of three eggs, an orange and banana before a meditation or journal session. Creatine, magnesium and omega-3 are lined up on the bench. By 6am he’s out the door and at the gym, heavy weights and high reps to make the most of the next 45 minutes. Then a walk with his partner and a coffee, before he’s at his desk and checking his colour-coded calendar by 8am. He counts his days from when he falls asleep and spent most of his twenties working out that six or seven hours is enough for him.
