The cases for and against dietary protein for healthy aging
An endeavor to settle the debate of high- vs. low-protein diets for increasing lifespan and healthspan
#222 ‒ How nutrition impacts longevity | Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D.
“It’s really important that we be willing to change our beliefs about nutrition and other aspects of health as more data comes in.” —Matt Kaeberlein
#204 – Centenarians, metformin, and longevity | Nir Barzilai, M.D.
“If you prevent aging and age-related disease, you’re going to compress morbidity, too.” — Nir Barzilai
#163 – Layne Norton, Ph.D.: Building muscle, losing fat, and the importance of resistance training
“I always tell people, I don’t think I would’ve had the success I did in business or social media or academia if I hadn’t done weightlifting because that taught me so much about other things in life.” —Layne Norton
#84 – AMA #10: Low testosterone, hypothyroidism, building muscle (and preserving it while fasting)
“Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.” —Arnold Schwarzenegger
Did a recent study show we can reverse aging?
I dig a little deeper into the recent study that suggests (to some) the answer is yes.
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.
#52 – Ethan Weiss, M.D.: A masterclass in cardiovascular disease and growth hormone – two topics that are surprising interrelated
“Primary prevention is still very much art and not science and probably will be for our lifetime so we’ll have to get used to that.” —Ethan Weiss
#41 – Jake Kushner, M.D.: How to thrive with type 1 diabetes and how everyone can benefit from the valuable insights
“You have this unique population of [type 1 diabetics] where you can see the insulin that goes into them, and you can see it’s direct impact on weight gain. . . and they’re at risk for cardiovascular illness. And to me that just says that there’s something about the Standard American Diet that’s making us sick. And ultimately we will all be at risk for cardiovascular disease.” —Jake Kushner
#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
