This is a pretty fantastic writeup, short and simple on each topic with loads of sources.

For those looking for something actionable, you may want to head to the reddit board for intermittent fasting. It's a good way to lower your caloric intake and increase autophagy. People doing intermittent fasting often also eat a keto diet that is mentioned in the writing as well.

Very interesting research, but trying to derive actionable recommendations for humans seems a bit laughable at this point. Still seems tough to become immortal these days. Harvesting young blood, a rigid diet, castration and starving yourself occasionally - lots of effort your self-absorbed wealthy investor with a desire to live forever has to go through.

But then again, Sam Altman recently praised China for having fewer ethical concerns in that regard, so maybe they will get some longitudinal human studies going. The population scale full-genome analyses that are currently underway might also be helpful.

Yes this is a great introduction into the topic. I would also recommend checking out www.leafscience.org home of the LEAF foundation. They are the guys who did that great video with Kurzgesagt last year and their website is packed with great info about aging and research.

My diet is almost small these days but I'm very curious about IF... Hoping I'll have willpower to do one

Just try. For me that was way easier than expected.
