‘No breakfast, no dairy, no problem’: Anti-ageing doctor shares daily habits

Dr Mohammed Enayat, founder of a London Longevity Clinic, shares the strict routine he follows to stay youthful and energised at 41

Dr Mohammed Enayat, a London-based GP and founder of HUM2N Longevity Clinic, doesn’t start his day with breakfast—or even food. At 41, he’s adopted a daily routine focused on extending healthspan and slowing down ageing, with a combination of fasting, blood tests, supplements, and even peptide injections.

His day begins at 6am, barefoot in his parents’ garden in north-east London, grounding himself and doing breathing exercises or prayer—rain or shine. “Just putting my feet on the earth wakes me up,” he says. Living with his ageing parents made financial sense while launching his clinic, but it also allowed for more time with family. He plans to split time with his future wife in Kent after their upcoming August wedding.

Unlike most, Dr Enayat skips breakfast entirely. He practices intermittent fasting, eating his last meal by 8:30pm and not breaking his fast until lunch the next day. “Carb-free mornings keep me in a fasted state,” he explains. “When glycogen stores deplete, your body turns to fat and protein for energy.” He swears by the energy boost it gives him.

Before heading to his South Kensington clinic, he downs water and a carefully tailored batch of supplements. “Some days it’s eight, other days none,” he says. The key? Annual blood tests—far more comprehensive than those offered by the NHS—that measure up to 120 biomarkers, from hormone levels to immune function. These tests help him catch potential health issues early, long before symptoms arise.

His latest results revealed high levels of zonulin, suggesting a leaky gut. He immediately cut dairy and began taking L-glutamine, digestive enzymes and probiotics. “My bloating disappeared and my dry skin cleared up,” he notes. The tests also uncovered adrenal fatigue. Now he’s more mindful of stress, meditating in the evenings and winding down properly.

Enayat’s daily peptide injections include BPC-157 and Ipamorelin, which support tissue repair and recovery. “I’m strength training hard ahead of my wedding,” he says. His gym routine targets core and posterior chain strength—key areas after noticing early signs of back pain from long hours sitting.

Each morning commute on the Central Line is an hour of self-improvement. He listens to wellness podcasts—recently favouring Robin Sharma—and journals or plans his day. Coffee arrives only after 9am, once he’s settled at work.

At HUM2N, no day looks the same. He juggles back-to-back patient consultations with internal training sessions, team management, and specialist education. He still works one day a week as an NHS GP and typically clocks six working days weekly.

Even during packed days, he prioritises movement. “I take walking meetings when I can,” he says. His lunch break includes a 90-minute strength session, and he boxes once or twice a week for cardio. When not commuting, he runs or skips outdoors.

“My goal is long-term health, not just aesthetics,” he says, though fitting into his wedding suit is a motivator. “I’m focused on resilience and energy.”

When hunger strikes before lunch, he breaks his fast with a 185-calorie smoothie made from blueberries, almond butter, collagen protein, oat milk, water and greens powder. “If I need it, I’ll have it—otherwise, I wait until lunch.”

For Enayat, it’s all about proactive, full-body care. “You don’t get sick overnight. Silent issues build up. Spot them early, and you can do something about it.”
