Modern Healthspan – Living Longer with Healthier, Happier & Fulfilling Life!

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We need to stop treating aging and decline as a sacred law of nature and instead see them as an engineering problem. Believe me when I say there are MANY people working on it for everyone's benefit.

[Abby Holland @holland_neuro]

People should have access to *all* their health data it’s so infantilising to lock it away and make it hard to access

[ModernHealthspan @MHealthspan]

Love seeing more longevity platforms dedicated to rigorous, evidence-based aging science. Congrats to @davidasinclair on the launch of https://t.co/KyxiXNoiCN. Looking forward to diving into the articles and research updates.

I’m incredibly proud & excited to finally share what we’ve been building for the past 3 years…

https://t.co/rwNzbHYUiy is now live 🚀

In a world of conflicting health advice, how can anyone distinguish between what’s supported by science and what’s just opinion?

I wanted to build something new. A place where scientists, engineers, industry leaders, and the public come together, where people can understand what the science actually says, and where we move healthcare beyond treating sickness toward extending healthy lifespan well beyond what’s currently possible.

Explore the new Lifespan Magazine. Watch the Lifespan show. Ask scientists questions. Join a global community. And help support research and the next generation of scientists working to extend healthy human lifespan.

I believe we’re at the beginning of a revolution in our understanding of human aging, and perhaps one day, our ability to change it. I want everyone to be part of it.

Built by scientists. Built for you. https://t.co/rwNzbHYUiy

Life’s too short. Let’s change that, together! 👊

The median age of an NIH scientist is 71. Nobel-winning work happens in your 20s. 45% of a researcher's time goes to paperwork... While the NIH budget just hit $45 billion with nothing to show for it. I sat down with @mkratsios47 to talk about the White House plan to blow this up: autonomous labs running science 24/7 with no humans, 70 years of federal data being uploaded to AI, and a target that just moved from 2x to 10x scientific productivity.

-- The US banned all non-American humanoid robot imports to force a domestic supply chain.

-- Supersonic flight: speed limit replaced with noise limit. Decades-old ban lifted.

-- American AI Exports Program launched: turnkey US-made AI stacks for the world, government-financed. The counter to China's Belt and Road for intelligence.

-- Kratsios on the 10x target: "Even six months ago, Opus wasn't out yet. Anthropic's revenue was sub-$10 billion. The pace of AI innovation is just insane. We've got to aim big."

🧠New NIH-funded research has uncovered an aspect of human brain aging that reshapes our approach to age-related cognitive decline and dementia risk.
This knowledge will be critical as we work toward developing earlier detection methods and more effective treatments.

Huge thanks to Dr. John Osborne for joining us.
My biggest takeaway? Stop guessing your heart disease risk based on ApoB or cholesterol. Direct plaque scanning shows what’s actually happening inside your arteries before symptoms start.

Almost everything that would add ten good years to your life already exists. And believe me it's not locked in a secret lab. Want to know what it is? Healthy HABITS! The things people think are easy to do, but the hardest to implement day-to-day.

I contributed to this excellent article by @LouSchuler on the manipulation of variables for hypertrophy, strength and power with a focus on aging

Thanks to Dr. Koji Tanabe for an incredible interview!
My key takeaways: 1️⃣ Autologous iPSC sectrome treatment now available in Japan2️⃣ Bank your cells early before disease or damage sets in, reprogramming cannot fix mutations

Some preliminary evidence suggested that pre-exercise palm cooling may enhance resistance training performance. Our just-pubbed study showed no beneficial effects of the strategy on various assessments of performance, physiological measures or perceptual responses compared to sham in trained lifters.

Huge thanks to Dr. Vladimir Heiskanen for joining to dive into the science of Red Light Therapy
💡My key takeaways:
There is more nuance than I thought but it does:
- Boost cellular function by increasing ATP
- Promote collagen synthesis & skin elasticity

We spend too much time trapped in our thoughts.

The One-Armed Bandit brings you back into your body. It brings you into the present moment. Mind and body working together as one.

When you find that balance, the mental noise completely shuts off. Just pure body awareness.

Once you feel it for yourself, you get it.

@BradSchoenfeld So, if I want hypertrophy and strength gains, 3x1 at 90% 1RM followed by 45% until 2 RIR will give me both? I was concerned about sending conflicting signals to the muscle by finishing off the heavy set with lighter weights to failure.

Huge thanks to Dr. Purnima Kumar (@UMich) for a wild interview on oral-systemic health!
Did you know uncontrolled blood sugar pushes your healthy mouth microbiome into dysbiosis; switching from oxygen breathing to fermentation & triggering a vicious inflammatory loop.

[ModernHealthspan @MHealthspan]

@siimland Crazy! I hope you figure it out and get the account back.

[ModernHealthspan @MHealthspan]

I just wish I had understood this earlier in life! If it is something you need or want to do but are afraid. Do it, and keep doing it, until the fear goes away.

Thanks to Dr. JoAnn Manson for a great talk about a landmark VITAL trial discovery: 2,000 IU of Vit D daily slowed telomere loss by 3 years compared to placebo over a 4-year period.
We also discussed the 39% reduction in autoimmune risk. https://t.co/D8lsFC5imf

What you do in private always shows in public, and this is such good news.

Your diet shows in your energy. Your diet shows in your skin. Your diet shows in your confidence. Your diet shows in your results.

The whole foods you eat when no one’s watching…the vegetables, the healthy fats, the clean proteins, they don’t just disappear. They become the clarity you feel at 2pm instead of brain fog. They become the natural glow people notice. They become steady energy that lasts all day, not the crash-and-burn cycle of processed foods and sugar.

You can’t fake real nourishment. Your body tells the truth. Feed it real food, and it shows. Skip the nutrients it needs, and that shows too.

You are what you cultivate when no one is watching. And every single meal is either building you up or breaking you down. Choose foods that serve you.
