More than four decades ago, Indra Neel began experimenting with the principles that now form the Hormesis Protocol—long before biohacking became a trend. Today, at 57, he is living proof that the aging process can be slowed, vitality restored, and a strong, joyful body sustained well beyond middle age.

His path was shaped not only by science, but by hardship. Indra Neel lost his father before his second birthday, and his beloved brother when he was just 16. In later years, he survived three heart failures,  life-threatening malaria in a war zone and serious injuries. These weren’t just physical challenges—they were emotional crucibles.

​

What brought him through was a commitment to the power of Hormesis: using intelligent, controlled stress—physical, emotional, and mental—as a way to build resilience from the inside out. Hormesis became not only a survival strategy, but a philosophy of life—one grounded in purpose, self-discipline, and peace of mind.

​

While pursuing his doctorate in the UK and the USA, Indra Neel encountered the pioneering work of longevity researchers whose insights aligned perfectly with his own experience. The Protocol he now teaches weaves together cutting-edge science, lived wisdom, and deep compassion.

He feels privileged to share this journey with men and women who understand that true health is more than muscle and mitochondria—it’s about emotional balance, mental clarity, and the freedom to live a meaningful life.
