  "account": "Joe Manganiello, the actor known for his roles in True Blood and Magic Mike, has shared his 3-part longevity plan in his new memoir, Bloodlines. The plan includes skipping testosterone, trying floating, and following a strict workout regimen.\n\nManganiello battled chronic autoimmune issues for seven years in secret. His pain was so severe that he had to be rushed to the hospital on an ambulance. He credits his recovery to enlisting a shaman and discovering the benefits of floating in a sensory deprivation tank. This practice helped him achieve mental clarity and reduce stress.\n\nIn addition to floating, Manganiello maintains a rigorous workout routine that avoids the use of steroids. He focuses on heavy deadlifts and squats to build muscle, which is crucial for portraying strong characters on screen. He also emphasizes the importance of early dinnertime and maintaining a healthy weight.\n\nManganiello abstains from alcohol and performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career. His journey towards better health and understanding the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and emotional well-being serves as a powerful example of resilience and self-discovery.",
