Shervin Shares: Youtube’s Human Guinea Pig — Testing Modern Tech for a Healthier Life (Interview)
What if one wearable tweak could unlock 80 % of your health results—while funding your dream career?
Stick around…we test that claim, then pull back the curtain on growing a six‑figure creator brand without burning out.
Here's a conversation with Shervin Shares, my podcast guest this week on That One Time with Adam Metwally.
Shervin is an American YouTuber and ex‑software engineer who left Big Tech to review health‑tech and biohacking gear full‑time.
He’s raced two world‑major marathons, built a 300 k+ subscriber channel, and consults Fortune‑500 wellness brands on product strategy.
Below are three reasons you’ll gain from the full episode this week:
Compress the 80‑20 of health. Copy Shervin’s four‑pillar protocol (sleep, whole foods, strength + Zone‑2 cardio, weekly social time) and boost deep‑sleep minutes by 30 % in seven nights.
Steal his “4‑bucket” content system. The exact 12‑week loop that took him from 5 k → 300 k subs—so you can ship videos weekly and still have a social life.
Upgrade your social self‑care. A simple dinner‑club ritual Shervin uses to double face‑to‑face connections (and why community might out‑rank ice baths on the longevity scorecard).
