Everything GLP-1s do to your body, mapped across 175 health outcomes in 1.4M people with type 2 diabetes.

Compared with usual care, GLP-1 users had up to 24% lower risk of cardiac arrest, liver failure, respiratory failure, stroke, liver cancer & addiction.

Dr. @misraetel's case for why age reversal will reach everyone, fast: Old people run the world.

They run corporations and governments, and none of them want to die.

So when age reversal therapies hit trials, they'll fund them, not block them. And once they have it, keeping it from everyone else becomes politically impossible.

Las personas que caminan rápido tienen un cociente intelectual promedio 16 puntos superior al de las que caminan lento, sus caras parecen más jovenes y sus cerebros tienden a ser más grandes.

Aunque sabemos que la actividad física mejora el cerebro y el aspecto físico, y eso podría explicar parte de la asociación, a su vez ésta también puede deberse, sobre todo en el caso del IQ, a causas innatas: una mejor calidad biológica de base puede estar causando más velocidad al caminar, mejor funcionamiento cerebral y una cara más joven.

Do you carry ApoE4? About 1 in 4 ppl do. 1 copy: ~3X Alzheimer's risk. 2 copies: ~10X.

On Sept 21, Europe approved obicetrapib, a cholesterol drug that, in a large trial, lowered multiple AD markers in ApoE4 carriers.

Yes, a drug engineered to prevent heart attacks seems to lower AD biomarkers.

🚨🚨 El Dr. David Sinclair acaba de revelar uno de los estudios más grandes sobre la nattokinasa...
Un estudio chino exhaustivo de 1.067 personas encontró que la nattokinasa revirtió la enfermedad cardiovascular al eliminar hasta el 95% de la placa arterial en un año...
Este suplemento es una enzima de la soja fermentada y cuesta casi nada...
Sinclair lo ha estado tomando diariamente durante un par de años...
Mide su arteria carótida con ultrasonido y dice que no hay acumulación de placa en absoluto.
Peter Diamandis también lo toma.
Él cree que necesitas al menos 6.000 unidades fibrinolíticas por día para obtener los beneficios...
• Las estatinas cuestan cientos por mes y vienen con efectos secundarios.
• Las intervenciones quirúrgicas pueden costar miles de dólares
La nattokinasa cuesta una fracción de ambas...
La advertencia de Sinclair: "Haz esto con el conocimiento de tu médico"...

AGING IS MORE REVERSIBLE THAN WE THINK

A new study just gave us a fascinating clue. It hints that biological age may be more of a dynamic state than a fixed number.👀

Actually, researchers transplanted old hearts into young mice.

The old hearts didn't simply remain molecularly old.

Over time, their DNA methylation and gene-expression patterns shifted toward those of younger hearts.

And the reverse happened too.👀

But young hearts placed into older animals started showing older molecular signatures.

That means the environment surrounding an organ can actually influence its biological age.

And honestly, this is the part that gets me excited about longevity.

Aging isn't just a one-way accumulation of damage. it is a biological state that can be changed.

“A tissue's biological age isn't completely fixed.”

If we can discover the signals that push tissues toward aging, we may eventually learn how to block them, restore youthful states, and preserve function for much longer.

And future of anti-aging won't be about replacing old organs. It will be about changing the biological environment that makes them old.

Your cardio fitness predicts how long you'll live better than your cholesterol, blood pressure, or your genes (and low fitness is deadlier than smoking).

Here's what it means and how to raise it:

In a study of 122,000 people (Mandsager, JAMA 2018), the fittest had an 80% lower risk of death than the least fit.

Low fitness carried a higher risk of dying than smoking, diabetes, or heart disease. It's the single strongest longevity marker there is.

The number is your VO2 max, the top amount of oxygen your body can use during hard effort.

The higher it is, the stronger your heart, lungs, and muscles are working together, which is why it tracks so closely with how long you live.

Test it roughly by how winded you get.

If a brisk hill or a flight of stairs leaves you gasping, your VO2 max is low. If you can hold a conversation through moderate effort, you're in a good range. A watch estimate gets you a real number.

Build it with two things.

Easy zone 2 cardio a few times a week grows your aerobic base, and one weekly session of short hard intervals raises the ceiling.

Nothing lifts your VO2 max faster than 4 minutes hard, 3 minutes easy, repeated 4 times.

VO2 max is trainable at any age, and every step up drops your risk of dying by 13 to 15%.

Train your heart like your life depends on it, because the data says it does.

A psychedelic compound best known for its effects on the brain may help prevent one of chemotherapy's most debilitating side effects—chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, researchers report in Science.

In mouse models, as few as two doses of psilocybin given before treatment durably prevented CIPN through multiple cycles of chemotherapy, while preserving both nerve function and the therapies’ tumor-killing effects.
