The 1-5% Rule

Hierarchy of Interventions

The Foundation of Longevity

Before looking for supplements, consider this pyramid. Pills and powders account for a maximum of 1-5% of your biological success. They can optimize a strong foundation of sleep, exercise, and nutrition, but can never replace it.

Supplements
The final 1-5% for targeted biochemical optimization.
Stress & Mindset
Cortisol Management. Chronic stress blocks regeneration.
Nutrition & Exercise
Building blocks and mechanical stimuli for the maintenance of muscles and bones.
Sleep & Circadian Rhythm
The Base. If the sleep cycle is disrupted, everything else loses its efficacy.

Why We Track What We Track

At BioVector, we do not guess. Your body is a highly complex, interconnected system. Rather than comparing you to generic population averages, we use your Apple Health data to establish your entirely distinct physiological baseline. Deviations from this baseline are the earliest signals of recovery, stress, or adaptation. Here is the compendium of the metrics we analyze and how you should evaluate them.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

The time variation between your heartbeats. A direct window into your Autonomic Nervous System.

How to evaluate?

Above Base: Excellent (Parasympathetic dominance, highly recovered). Below Base: Warning (Stress, illness, alcohol, lack of sleep).

Resting Heart Rate (RHR)

The number of heartbeats per minute at complete rest (usually measured during sleep).

How to evaluate?

Below Base: Good (High cardiovascular efficiency). Sudden spike: Strong indicator of physical stress or fighting an infection.

Sleep Stages (REM & Deep)

Deep sleep repairs your body (tissue, muscles, immune system). REM sleep repairs your mind (memory, emotions, learning).

How to evaluate?

Goal: Roughly 20-25% of total sleep each. Low Deep Sleep? Often alcohol or late meals. Low REM? Usually overall sleep deprivation.

VO2 Max (Cardio Fitness)

The maximum amount of oxygen (in ml) your body can process per minute per kilogram of body weight under maximum effort.

How to evaluate?

Higher is better. One of the strongest known predictors for longevity and overall healthspan.

Wrist Temperature

Your average skin temperature during sleep, measured as a deviation from your baseline.

How to evaluate?

Remains highly stable. A spike (+1.0°C or more) often indicates an immune response days before you actually feel sick.

Respiratory Rate

How many breaths you take per minute while sleeping.

How to evaluate?

Should be incredibly constant (e.g., 14.5). If it suddenly spikes, it is a massive warning signal for acute physiological overload.

Blood Oxygen (SpO2)

The percentage of your red blood cells that are carrying oxygen.

How to evaluate?

Should consistently remain between 95% and 100%. Drops during sleep indicate poor air quality or sleep apnea.

Time in Daylight

The measured time you spend outdoors in natural ambient daylight.

How to evaluate?

At least 30-60 mins daily is essential to anchor your circadian rhythm (melatonin production) for optimal sleep.

Walking Steadiness & Asymmetry

How balanced and even your walking pattern is (a vital parameter for the musculoskeletal system).

How to evaluate?

Asymmetry should be extremely low, steadiness high. Deterioration points to muscular imbalances or neurological fatigue.
