Great read. The combination of metformin, revaratrol and NMN is quite something. Add fasting and an intense workouts and it’s amazing how much you can impact your wellness. I recently unretired from the over 40 hockey league i’ve played in the past 8 years and rejoined the top A league playing against 20 year olds... anecdotal sure... but then again so are those sets of 30-40 pull-ups I do in my workout multiple time…

> I’m currently 52 and look mid 30s and have taken supplements for nearly 10 years to affect aging. Might want some anonymous feedback on how old you really look before you use this tagline in the wild. ;) It's always a bit awkward when someone tells you how many 15+ years younger they [think they] look and you're stuck between "should I tell them?" and "smile and nod." I always presume they keep getting older but fo…

Which supplements are you taking? NMN? Niagen?

1 gram of NMN, metformin and resveratrol. Beyond that I take other things including carbon 60. Those are the most exotic items; the rest are your usual items such as fish-oil, krill oil, multi-vitiman most of which I tuned from my Inside-Tracker.com blood results. I also have the right genetics; aka longevity gene(s), Ashkenazi Jew markers, etc and my farther is in his upper 80's; his mother lived to 98. I don't want…

If you have a way to brush aside death, do share with us. So far as I can tell, nothing about the attempts have been cavalier. Fortunes have been squandered, tears wept over the fresh graves of the beloved, lives were focused in an all-consuming passion, and so forth. The subject has already been rendered not cavalier by the agonies of our past. We haven't a "skip death" button to press. Chesterson's fence, which you…

> Evolution is not wise, evolution is not careful, evolution did not plan or reason for that fence. Evolution also gave us susceptibility to diseases, revolting parasites, defects of birth, and an often tragic fragility. Shall we preserve those as well? After all, they must be there for a reason. Copy. Mutate. Select. Simple algorithm, remarkable results. Incredibly robust to failure. I think you do yourself a disser…

Don't you need a prescription for those supplements (or at least, metformin)?

I do all of those things, but I am finding the NMN to be quite costly. I take almost the same amount as Dr. Sinclair, which means going through a bottle of pills every three to five days. I really hope someone makes a less expensive version soon. I do feel the difference and can probably attribute it to higher ATP production. I have no idea if it's helping my cardio vascular system.
