Hi, I’m Dijana, a 33-year-old mom, entrepreneur, and software engineer who believes in data-driven health optimization. While my current health metrics are somewhat stable, I’m aiming higher – I want the vitality and performance levels of my 20-year-old self. This isn’t about meeting average benchmarks for my age; it’s about reclaiming peak physical condition from my 20s.
After having my baby, I found myself navigating the complex balance of entrepreneurship, motherhood, and personal health. While my biomarkers are mostly within normal ranges – I see room for significant optimization. My mission is to improve everything from body composition to sleep quality to blood health.
I created Protocol because I needed a systematic approach to health that went beyond conventional wisdom. As someone dealing with genetic predispositions and post-pregnancy recovery, I understand the challenge of optimizing health within real-world constraints. Protocol isn’t just about achieving ‘acceptable’ metrics – it’s about pursuing exceptional health through data-driven, personalized strategies that fit into a busy life.

Hi, I’m Dejan, a founder and technologist who believes in systematic approaches to both technology and health optimization. While building ventures aimed at planetary-scale impact, I found myself facing a common founder’s challenge: maintaining peak performance while managing intense workload and new parenthood.
As someone who approaches problems through the lens of disciplined engineering, I’ve learned that optimal health isn’t just about following generic advice—it’s about creating systematic, data-driven protocols that work within real-world constraints. Whether I’m dealing with a herniated disc or balancing startup demands with caring for my 10-month-old, I need solutions that are both effective and practical.
After experiencing firsthand how health directly impacts performance and decision-making at the highest stakes, I’m convinced that founders need to treat health optimization with the same rigor we apply to building technology. It’s not about hitting average benchmarks—it’s about creating systems that enable us to operate at our absolute best while managing complex responsibilities.
