RED LIGHT THERAPY is the ultimate anti-aging hack.

NASA, pro athletes, and celebrities use it to supercharge their cells by up to 200%

Here’s how it works and the exact protocols for rejuvenated skin, superhuman energy, laser focus, and bulletproof cellular health:

People obsess over exercise, diet, and supplements.

But spending time with friends and family is just as important.

A 2023 study looking at over 1000 adults found that people who experienced more loneliness in daily life showed:

- Lower IGF-1 (hormone associated with healthy aging)
- Higher inflammatory signaling
- Slower walking speed
- Weaker grip strength
- More difficulty performing daily activities

@dpatrickaldrin Loong time! How are you??

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@dpatrickaldrin The older I’ve gotten, the more distracted I’ve gotten too. You really have to be intentional about where you’re putting you’re time

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@dpatrickaldrin Worth adding a good quality one. It’s hard to get it alll from food these days

Everyone is obsessed with NAD lately.

Here's what NAD helps you do:

• repair DNA
• regulate genes
• recover from stress
• maintain brain function

So why is it low in the first place?

• Infections
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Chronic inflammation
• Obesity / insulin resistance
• Poor sleep / circadian disruption

It tends to be the lifestyle that’s exhausting it.

Your brain, liver, muscle, immune cells…

Each has its own supply and demand.

NAD is not just for the anti aging crowd.

And Supplementation is not the main pathway to improving it.

The fundamentals are a lot more important:

• Lose excess fat
• Move your body
• Fix sleep timing
• Reduce chronic inflammation

Worry about supplementation after you have fixed the basics.

@Tyler_Van_Acker These are great. I use the first 2 anytime I have a lower back issue and it helps me recover so fast

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@Tyler_Van_Acker Thanks Tyler! Always. Can’t neglect the few things that actually moves the needle

Regardless of your political affiliations- this is actually a positive.

Hospitals serve some of the worst food in the country.

I'm curious to see what the end result will be

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

RFK Jr. just announced hospitals will now be required to serve healthy food to keep federal funding.

“Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety notice to every hospital in this country… asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines.”

“In order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments.”

“We’re going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food.”

“It’s now essentially a federal mandate.”

“It's something the hospitals wanted.”

“It's something that they needed.”

“And we want to do this very quickly.”

@RyanDeQuiroz You’re basically telling your body that you need that adaptation- for you brain as well. It’s a full system upgrade

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

Lifting literally changes how old your brain looks.

Researchers can now estimate your “brain age” using MRI + machine learning.

In a 2-year study of adults aged 62–70, participants were assigned to:
• Heavy resistance training
• Moderate resistance training
• No training

After just 1 year of lifting:

Both training groups made their brains look ~1.4 years younger

Brain connectivity improved across:
• Prefrontal cortex (decision-making)
• Motor regions
• Subcortical systems
• Cerebellum

In other words:
Upgrades to how the brain communicates

Strength training is literally a neurological intervention.

@RyanDeQuiroz Sounds like a gorgeous morning

@theaboagyeboadi This movement has brought me back to life so many times after lower back injuries. I’ve gone from not being able to walk to being able to run within 3 days

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@theaboagyeboadi Seems to be in the 30s and definitely related to lifestyle and habits

Effect of sleep restriction on testosterone:

Huge reason why guys need to prioritize their sleep.

@RyanDeQuiroz Modern day take on art of war?? This was a fun read Ryan

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@RyanDeQuiroz How many dad’s struggle with this?

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@theaboagyeboadi I love this post. I think a lot of people miss the simple fixes

[Shayan Sen @DrShayanSen]

@theaboagyeboadi I think people don’t realize that sleep gets worse as you age- and a big reason for that is that we prioritize other things instead
