By Rivard exists in the space between who someone is
and who they might become.
This started as a private obsession — personal research and experimentation about everything I wanted for myself. The body. The face. The cities. The changes.
By Rivard is what happens obsessive research meets lived experience — when you turn your own life into the laboratory and your body into the evidence. Currently realized as travel architecture for those ready to return different. Body optimization because the body is a project, not a sentence. And an ongoing account of what it means to pursue better as a practice, rather than a destination.
Applied philosophy for people who believe how we move through the world matters. That Curation is a form of care. That choosing better over more is its own revolution.
This is for those who want to know the difference between existing and inhabiting.

TRAVEL ARCHITECTURE
Journeys for those who’ve already arrived
You've seen the landmarks. Now you want something harder to find—a trip that doesn't just confirm who you are, but suggests who else you might become.
I design journeys for what comes after tourism, for people ready to return different. Transformation is the only souvenir worth collecting.
BODY OPTIMIZATION
Curated protocols for those ready to transform
I've spent years turning myself into evidence that transformation is possible at any age. Through systematic testing of peptides, aesthetic treatments, and optimization protocols, I've built a body that performs better now than it did decades ago. This isn't coaching—it's intelligence transfer. From peptide protocols to skincare that actually works, from fitness to the São Paulo dermatologists I trust with my own skin, I share what years of expensive research has proven. Because transformation isn't about perfection. It's about discovering you have more control over your physical existence than you've been told.
THE JOURNAL
Weekly (or thereabouts) investigations in elevated living
Five years of nomadic research and I have more than passport stamps to show for it. Every week (or so) I document what I've discovered: hotels that ruin you for all others, peptides that actually work, the peculiar distance between who we are and who we perform. These aren't tips or hacks—they're literary investigations into transformation, optimization, and the art of living deliberately. From the Rosewood Madrid at Christmas to skincare rituals in Paris, from IFS therapy to the philosophy of luggage.
