The founder of an AI platform says he eats the same meal every day because it helps him perform at his peak.
Michael Koch generally fasts for 23 hours a day, eating around noon. Once a week, though, he fasts for 48 hours, and once a month, he fasts for 72 hours. This schedule puts his body in a state where he’s “very, very focused,” he told Insider.
It’s all part of what the HubKonnect CEO calls his “cognitive protocol” – a rigorous set of diet, exercise, work, and sleep habits he follows to optimize performance, and they’re detailed in his recent book called “The Performance CEO.”
Koch, 45, is most enthusiastic about intermittent fasting: “The benefits of this from a cognitive perspective, as well as a physical perspective, are amazing.”
His protocol is not about health. The former college athlete said he was used to eating healthily, and working out. When he started getting more business, though, Koch says he realized he needed to change his habits to cope with his workload.
