Can you reverse your biological age?
I realize it may seem like Groundhog Day for you to see more prose from me about how to think about studies rather than the tactical bits we think we can immediately extract and employ from them. Just remember, it’s better to learn how to fish than to be given … you get it.
#67 – AMA #8: DNA tests, longevity genes, metformin, fasting markers, salt, inflammation, and more
“If you are genetically blessed to become a centenarian, the gift you got is that you have genes that delay your receipt of chronic disease by what appears to be about 20 years.” — Peter Attia
#66 – Vamsi Mootha, M.D.: Aging, type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease – do all roads lead to mitochondria?
“We have 300 different forms of monogenic mitochondrial diseases. . .and these are terrible diseases and we need therapies for them. . .but it’s also our hope that studying some of them will provide insights into the common form of aging as well.” —Vamsi Mootha
Metformin and exercise
If you like concrete answers and absolutes, longevity is not a fun sandbox to play in.
#45 – AMA #4: sleep, jet lag protocol, autophagy, metformin, and more
“Every day in the human body, some 10 billion cells die and are replaced by new cells.” —Nick Lane
#35 – Nir Barzilai, M.D.: How to tame aging
“I think the prevention of aging is really a good place to be. . .and I think life is going to be very different in the next decade with our advances.” —Nir Barzilai
#31 – Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D.: metabolism, mitochondria, and metformin in health and disease
“I pay more attention today to stress than anything else.” —Nav Chandel
Is there a way to exploit the metabolic quirk of cancer?
Can we starve the disease?
The interplay of exercise and ketosis – Part II
You’ll recall from last week’s post I did a self-experiment to see if I could learn something about the interplay…
