Ok so I’ve been down the rabbit hole lately reading about all these “age reversal” protocols and I’m honestly confused about what’s legit science vs what’s just really good marketing. I’m seeing everything from NAD+ IVs to exosome facials to peptide stacks that supposedly turn back the clock 10 years. Some of it sounds amazing…
So I’ve been diving deep into the longevity space lately and David Sinclair’s name is EVERYWHERE. His research on NAD+, resveratrol, NMN… it all sounds amazing. But then I start seeing criticisms that he’s basically just selling supplements now and cherry-picking data to support his book sales. I’m 38F, been on tirz for 6 months…
So I’ve been going down the rabbit hole on rapamycin lately and honestly it’s kind of frustrating. Like, the animal data is INSANE – mice living 25-30% longer, improvements in basically every marker of aging, effects on mTOR that seem to hit all the right pathways. But we can’t actually prove it works for longevity…
I’ve been taking resveratrol for almost 3 years now based on all the Sinclair hype and longevity studies. 500mg daily with some fat for absorption. But honestly? I’m starting to think this whole thing is BS. Recent meta-analyses keep showing basically zero benefit in humans, and the bioavailability is apparently terrible unless you’re taking massive…
So I’ve been seeing NAD+ IV therapy pop up everywhere lately – my local medspa charges $950 for a session and claims it’ll boost energy, improve cognition, and basically turn back the clock on aging. I’m 38F and honestly my energy has been trash since starting a really demanding job last year. I’m already on…
I keep seeing these articles and Instagram wellness influencers calling berberine “nature’s Ozempic” and honestly I’m getting a bit tired of the comparison. I tried berberine for about 6 weeks after reading all the hype about blood sugar control and weight loss. Sure, it helped a little with my fasting glucose numbers (dropped from 108…
So I’ve been reading a lot about senolytics lately and the whole idea of clearing out senescent cells to slow aging. The research seems pretty promising but here’s the thing – most protocols involve either dasatinib (a leukemia drug) + quercetin or fisetin in mega doses. I’m 38, relatively healthy, been on tirz for 6…
So I’ve been down the rabbit hole lately with blood testing. Started with basic metabolic panels when I began tirzepatide, then added hormone panels, now I’m doing quarterly advanced lipid panels, inflammatory markers, NAD+ levels, you name it. Spent probably $2k in the last 6 months just on testing through various labs. But here’s what’s…
So I’ve been taking metformin 500mg twice daily for about 6 months now (I’m not diabetic, just using it for longevity/anti-aging purposes based on my functional medicine doc’s recommendation). I’m 38F and pretty active – I do CrossFit 4x a week and some running on off days. Anyway, I recently came across some research suggesting…
So I’ve been down the NAD+ rabbit hole for the past month and I’m honestly more confused than when I started. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about NMN vs NR but I can’t figure out which one actually works better? I’m 38F, been on tirz for 6 months (down 32lbs, feeling great), but my…
