Younger Skin, Boundless Energy & Unbeatable Sleep Scores: Ben Greenfield’s Upgraded End-of-Summer Protocol

IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials PRO

Most supplement routines end up as a graveyard of half-finished bottles. 

IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials PRO replaces 16 separate supplements with one clinical-grade daily drink.

Every scoop delivers 90+ nutrient-rich ingredients spanning essential vitamins and minerals in bioactive forms, superfoods, greens, and pre-, pro-, and postbiotics. It also delivers clinically studied doses of CoQ10 for cardiovascular support, saffron extract for cognitive support, and 1,500mg of MSM, the clinical gold-standard dose for joints and skin.*

I'm ruthless about what earns a spot in my permanent stack, and IM8 Essentials PRO made the cut. It consolidates the foundational nutrients I'd otherwise be taking as a dozen separate capsules into one drink I genuinely enjoy.

Developed with a world-class scientific advisory board of physicians and scientists from Mayo Clinic, NASA, Cedars-Sinai, and Yale, and validated in a 12-week randomized controlled clinical trial, every batch is third-party tested and NSF Certified for Sport. Vegan, allergen-free, and free of added sugar, IM8 comes in three flavors: Açaí + Mixed Berries, Mango + Passionfruit, and Lemon + Orange.

Tecton Ketones

Most ketone supplements are a gamble: unproven molecules, vague sourcing, no real backing. 

Tecton Ketones isn't one of them.

Mike Chesne, a former U.S. Special Forces combat medic and two-time Purple Heart recipient, founded Tecton on a molecule called R3HBG, the only ketone ingredient recognized by the FDA as a new dietary ingredient. R3HBG delivers ketones straight into your bloodstream, giving your brain and body clean, ready-to-use fuel without waiting on a fast or a strict low-carb diet to get there.

Right before my sauna and cold plunge, I throw down the 90mg caffeine version of Tecton's EDGE Performance™ + Caffeine ketone shot. It gives me clean fuel and mental clarity fast, enough to carry me through to dinner and pull me out of my midday siesta, without keeping me up at night. 

The fuel you put in your body should be held to the highest standard, and Tecton Ketones delivers it.

Tecton currently offers four ketone shot formulas, each built for a specific need: focus and lasting energy, cognitive brain function, or overall metabolic health and performance.

Formula IQ — CopperIQ Serum

Summer sun, heat, travel, and long days outdoors can leave skin looking dry, stressed, and less resilient.

That’s where Copper IQ Serum from Formula IQ comes in.

This lightweight, oil-free serum pairs a potent 3% concentration of GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) with four forms of hyaluronic acid to support collagen production, hydration, and the appearance of firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

The fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free formula layers easily beneath moisturizer or sunscreen, making it a simple addition to any morning or evening routine.

For anyone serious about healthy aging, Copper IQ Serum offers a clean, science-driven way to keep skin looking hydrated, resilient, and refreshed all summer long.

BIOptimizers

You know the feeling: restless nights, sluggish digestion after meals, and energy that crashes by mid-afternoon. 

These four BIOptimizers products are what I use to fix each one directly:

• Magnesium Breakthrough: Deeper sleep, less stress, a calmer nervous system, with 7 bioavailable forms of magnesium in one capsule.
• Magnesium Breakthrough Drink: Same formula as the caps in a drink form—my evening ritual when I want something to sip.
• Masszymes: No food coma, better protein absorption, and 18 digestive enzymes with 4x more protease than most competitors.
• Berberine Breakthrough: Daily metabolic support that fits how I actually eat, powered by GlucoVantage®, 5x more absorbable than standard berberine.

BIOptimizers' Labor Day Sale runs August 31–September 7: 25% off sitewide, $25 in free gifts with every order, and a milk frother gift on orders over $99.

LMNT Iced Tea

The calendar says summer's ending, but your last few trail runs, outdoor lifts, and sweat-soaked hikes say otherwise.

By the time you feel thirsty, you're already behind, and water alone won't fix that. 

You need the minerals you're actually sweating out, not just the fluid.

That's what LMNT Iced Tea is built for. Each packet delivers a science-backed electrolyte ratio: 1,000 mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium, dialed in to match what your body loses through sweat, heat, fasting, or a low-carb lifestyle. 

It delivers the electrolytes your body is asking for, without fillers, artificial ingredients, or sugar, in a format that tastes like real iced tea instead of a chalky supplement packet.

However you're spending these last hot weeks, LMNT Iced Tea has you covered, and right now you'll get a free gift with your order.

Young Goose

Summer places your skin under continuous biological stress, gradually increasing DNA damage and placing greater demands on the cellular energy required for repair. 

That's why September has become known as "laser season," the month when people finally book treatments to fix months of accumulated damage.

Young Goose builds its formulas that work with your skin's own biology instead of masking the damage after it shows up. Rather than one-size-fits-all products, the line targets the specific cellular processes involved in repair, energy production, and signaling, giving your skin the resources it needs to repair itself more effectively.

Two products worth starting with before fall hits: VAMPIRE EXOSOMES®, which deliver signaling molecules that help direct your skin's repair processes, and the L.A.D.R. Serum, which supports the cellular energy your skin draws on most heavily when it's working to recover from sun exposure and environmental stress.

LIFE Market Peptides

Getting peptides used to mean piecing together sketchy sourcing, unclear dosing, and zero physician oversight, or navigating a maze of specialists just to get a straight answer.

LIFE Market fixes that. 

Every prescription gets reviewed by a licensed physician where required, dispensed through a licensed pharmacy network, so you know exactly what you're taking and why. The catalog spans hormone support, metabolic health, skin and recovery peptides, and more, all vetted and organized in one place instead of scattered across forums and gray-market suppliers. 

Your purchase also syncs to your LIFE OS nucleus and informs your LIFE Score, so your protocol becomes part of the full picture of your health data instead of sitting in isolation.
