Kayla Barnes-Lentz’s Longevity Protocol: A Woman’s Guide to Living to 150

Kayla Barnes-Lentz, age 33 and co-founder of LYV The Wellness Space, has developed a longevity protocol for women aimed at extending life far beyond current norms. She believes early, disciplined biohacking can shift the lifespan curve.

Designing for Women’s Biology

Recognizing that many longevity protocols are male-centered, she adapts protocols for women—e.g. doing cold plunges at 55 °F (13 °C) and timing them to the first half of her menstrual cycle to align with hormonal phases.

Data-First Mornings

She begins at ~5:00 am, accessing metrics from her smart scale and Oura Ring to monitor weight, body composition, sleep quality, and menstrual cycle phases. That data guides adjustments to training, nutrition, and recovery.

Oral & Tissue Health

Her protocol begins with tongue scraping and oil pulling multiple times per week, and she also receives platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections annually to reduce gum inflammation and support oral tissue regeneration.

Biohacks & Repair Technologies

She uses a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device to support cellular recovery, red light therapy for mitochondrial health, and a NanoVi® device to enhance oxidative stress repair (NanoVi claims 45% increase in protein repair, reduced DNA damage, and improved recovery metrics in controlled studies). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Movement, Nutrition & Supplementation

Kayla aims for 15,000 steps per day along with strength and cardiovascular training. She eats a diet of regeneratively grown, organic foods and targets ~1 g of protein per pound of body weight. She layers supplements like NMN, spermidine, and others—about 20 in total—based on lab data. Research supports spermidine’s role in longevity and autophagy across species. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Sleep, Environment & Recovery

She keeps strict sleep habits: lights out by ~8:30 pm in a fully dark room, with filtered air, grounding pads, and EMF shielding. In her evening routine, she limits exposure to blue light and favors red-light environments.

Connection & Community

She emphasizes relationships: spending quality time with her partner, friends, and peers in the longevity community. Social connections bolster resilience, psychological well-being, and longevity.

Sample Daily Schedule

• 5:00 am: Wake, check biometrics
• 5:15 am: Tongue scrape & oil pull
• 5:30 am: PEMF session
• 6:00 am: Breathwork → workout with protein coffee
• 7:00 am: Sauna + red-light (3× per week)
• 7:30 am: Breakfast—organic eggs, fermented foods, greens
• 8:00 am: Take supplements guided by labs
• 11:00 am: Work blocks with NanoVi sessions
• 1:00 pm: Cold plunge (autophagy stimulus) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• 2:00 pm: Vibration plate + hyperbaric oxygen
• 5:00 pm: Dinner (organic, high quality proteins)
• 6:00 pm: Nature walk
• 7:00 pm: Sunset viewing / red-light environment
• 8:00 pm: Low-stim winding down activity
• 8:30 pm: Sleep in blackout, filtered air, grounded mattress
