In the case of tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, the most expensive, most data-rich health optimization protocol on the planet produced eleven years of an unread signal of autoimmune gastritis because the framework being applied was looking for problems in isolation rather than reading a signal architecture.
Even acknowledging the potential benefits of carnivore and keto diets for some conditions, it’s hard to ignore the extensive meta-analytic evidence linking higher fiber intake with better health outcomes. For most people, increasing fiber intake is a low-risk change with considerable potential upside.
Inflammaging is a form of chronic low-grade inflammation associated with aging and increased risk of multiple chronic diseases. This article reviews key drivers of inflammaging and clinical strategies—including lifestyle interventions and targeted nutrients such as curcumin, omega-3s, cannabidiol, and beta-caryophyllene—to support a healthy inflammatory response in aging patients.
Creatine’s role in fitness and muscle health is well-supported, and studies show numerous other health benefits, including improved cognition. Creatine is a compound from amino acids that supplies energy to the brain, muscles, and other organs. Dysfunction in the creatine system may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development.
Many people are not getting enough nutrients as they age when they need optimal nourishment to sustain healthy aging. Evidence indicates that because older adults are less able to absorb and use many nutrients, their nutrient needs (especially as a function of body mass) rise.1 Impaired digestion, medication-induced deficiencies, andRead
Sir Isaac Newton’s insights apply to your retirement plans and trajectory. His first law of motion captures the challenge plain and simple: an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It highlights the concept of inertia,Read
The results of a large prospective cohort study were recently published in JAMA Network Open, suggesting that even “low-risk” drinking is associated with a greater mortality risk among people with either health-related or socioeconomic risk factors. This is in line with a number of recent studies which point to a detrimental effect of alcohol, and aRead
The pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity, hope, and abundance for over four thousand years, has deeply influenced culture and history. Often depicted in art and literature, it is even suggested by some scholars that the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve in the Garden of Eden was a pomegranate, not anRead
I have been following the aging research community for over 20 years. It has been predicted that in the next 10-20 years average human lifespan will be extended to 110-120 years BUT – with good quality of health. Some of this cutting edge research that is going to make thisRead
How maintaining mitochondrial wellness supports cellular function, offsets declines and helps your patients live longer and better Why do we age? While explanations of biological aging range from telomere shortening and epigenetic malfunctions to inflammaging, current theories essentially fall into one of two categories. Programmed theories suggest aging adheres toRead
