#2From the conclusion paragraph:
> Your primary life extension program is diet and exercise. Choose a diet that works for you. Stay slim.
Considering heart disease is the #1 killer, doing whatever you can to not die from heart disease is the best place for most people to start.
Even in 2025, diet and exercise are still king.

Also this:

And earlier:

Rapamycin modulates the immune system. I get that he's probably consulting a doctor but can you imagine taking this risk during a pandemic or even in older age? It makes me uncomfortable to play around with these very powerful drugs.

#6Would any of the OTC stuff even be effective? Melatonin, NAC, and Berberine.

The text says yes. Also the text says other studies supposedly shown decrease in lifespan in humans: "but the conclusion of this study was that supplementation with vitamin C depressed lifespan, probably by inhibiting production of the body’s native antioxidants, including glutathione and SOD=superoxide dismutase."

The dosage for longevity is supposed to be low enough that this risk is minimized. Lots of things you do modulate your immune system (including e.g. exercise). It's a risk/reward thing, every time you get into your car you're also taking a longevity risk.
I think there are some proper human trials happening but the jury is still out.
