Hi, I'm Karol.

I am building a global longevity tribe to help people find the most trusted wellness and longevity brands to extend their healthspan and lifespan: www.newzapiens.com

–––

Healthcare is broken.

Doctors and pharma companies profit from treating illness, not keeping us healthy. The wellness industry is full of bold claims with little to no evidence. Health gurus and influencers capitalize on our insecurities, offering questionable advice that often misleads rather than helps.

In a world where trust is everything, who can we rely on?

In July 2023, New Zapiens started as a private WhatsApp group. Karol and Simon, two fathers, shared reliable health and longevity tips, aiming to extend their health spans and maximize life’s potential.

This conversation quickly grew into a global community of thousands health enthusiasts. They uncovered a common issue: most people struggle to find the time and trustworthy information needed to make confident health decisions.

As a result, New Zapiens evolved into a trusted platform for wellness, health, and longevity. Here, people discover reliable brands and products, reviewed by real individuals who have tested them without bias.

Our mission: Building a trusted health hub that empowers everyone to make better decisions through reliable, authentic, and honest reviews.

For brands committed to transparency, New Zapiens offers genuine feedback and the opportunity to collaborate with a loyal, health-focused community to build top-quality products.

I love studying how successful people build companies and optimize their health. Human biologist Gary Brecka is one of them. Host of "The Ultimate Human", one of the world’s leading health podcasts.

This week, we're exposing his entire protocol, and here is what fascinates me about Gary:

The most successful people I study aren't just working harder. They're consistently fitter, more energized, and sharper than average, despite heavier workloads and constant stress.

I know from experience how easy it is to let health slip when things get busy.

But the pattern I see in high performers? They're structured. Efficient. Well-educated on making their time work for them.

They don't just work hard. They recover harder.

That's why this week's New Zapiens newsletter breaks down Gary Brecka's complete health protocol.

His approach isn't about biohacking trends or expensive supplements.
It's about the fundamentals that actually move the needle: 

→ Sleep architecture 
→ Metabolic optimization 
→ Recovery protocols 
→ Stress management systems

Yes, n=1 applies. Everyone's different.

But there are patterns in what works for people operating at the highest levels.
And this week, we're sharing exactly what Gary does, and why.

But here's another problem:

For every legitimate protocol like Gary's, there are 100 polished Instagram posts claiming "cholesterol has been debunked" or "statins are a scam."

Clean visuals. Confident tone. Thousands of likes. Zero scientific rigor.

That's why we're also publishing: "The Framework Longevity Experts Use to Filter Health Misinformation.", by Niko Hems.

Because in a world full of bro-science and health influencers, you need a filter, not just more information.

The article breaks down:
→ Why intelligent people still get misled (it's not about intelligence) 
→ The repeating patterns in health misinformation (single-marker explanations, insider narratives) 
→ A practical 4-step filter to separate signal from noise 
→ Where to actually verify health claims (beyond Google)

The reality is, most people don't lack information. They lack a reliable way to prioritize it.

When you can't distinguish mechanism from outcome, or short-term changes from sustained effects, you end up chasing protocols instead of building foundations.

This week's newsletter gives you both:
→ Gary Brecka's actual health protocol (what works at the highest levels)
→ Niko Hem's framework to filter everything else (what to ignore)

The newsletter goes out today at 2pm CET. 

Don't miss out and subscribe here for weekly deep dives on longevity, performance, and cutting through health BS:

Because the highest risk comes from irreversible decisions made under false confidence.

I've worked with 200+ creators. Only about 10% get rebooked.

Here's what separates them from the rest:

→ They send a recap without being asked

Post links, key metrics, screenshots. All in one message.

Most creators post and disappear. The ones who make it easy for me to report back to my team go to the top of my list.

→ They offer a discount for round two

"Hey, if you want to lock in another collab, I'll do 15% off."

This might seem counterintuitive. But for creators building a business, consistent work beats one-off payments. And brands appreciate your commitment.

→ They reply within 24-48 hours

Many creators ghost after a collab ends. That's one of the fastest ways to get blacklisted.

Be communicative. And if you can't, just say so. That alone builds trust.

→ They pitch before I do

"Want to turn this into a series?" or "I have an idea for a follow-up."

Brands value proactivity. It shows you're invested beyond just the current project.

→ They're honest when things underperform

One creator told me: "Hey, this one flopped. Here's why I think it happened, and here's what I'd do differently."

That message made me want to work with them more, not less.

Most creators don't do any of this. Which is exactly why you should.

Partnerships @ Perspective | Building B2B creator, influencer and partner programs that drive revenue

→ Found a creator on our niche
→ Paid for one sponsored video (flat fee)
→ Offered affiliate commission on top (he didn't ask for it)
→ Video did really well, signups came in
→ A few converted to paid customers
→ He started seeing passive income hit his account

Then, without us reaching out for a new one, he made 3 more videos about Perspective.

On his own, with no ask, brief or second payment from our side.

Why? Two things:

- He loved the tool and thought it was valuable for his audience
- He saw the potential to own this niche before others did (smart creator)

Once I noticed he was doing that, I reached out. Now we're plotting how to 10x his impact together.

Here's the thing most brands get wrong:

They pay a flat fee. Creator posts. Done. Transaction over.

But flat fee only pays for their time. It doesn't keep them around.

That's why we always offer affiliate compensation on top, even when creators don't ask for it.

Yes, the affiliate cuts into margins on video one. But it almost guarantees videos 2, 3, 4 without extra spend.

It's a retention strategy (if you have a good product).

How do you structure your creator deals? 🤝
