Let’s get into it.
This Week’s Key Longevity Insights

Originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, Metformin is making waves in longevity circles. Studies suggest it may reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and possibly extend healthspan. While some experts like Peter Attia cautiously prescribe it, remember, it's not a substitute for diet and lifestyle. Chat with your healthcare provider to explore if Metformin fits your longevity strategy.
Bryan Johnson spends millions annually optimizing his body—and it's paying off. With near-perfect biomarkers and a rigorously structured daily regimen, Johnson’s methods might seem extreme, but the underlying lessons are universally applicable: consistent sleep, nutrient-dense diets, personalized exercise, and regular biomarker tracking. Start small—just adopting his sleep and diet strategies can dramatically boost your healthspan.
Red light therapy isn’t just trendy—it’s backed by science. Proven benefits include enhanced cellular function, reduced inflammation, improved skin health, and better sleep through increased melatonin production. Book a 30-minute session at your local wellness center or invest in a home device to easily incorporate this longevity hack.
Developed by Dr. Valter Longo, the Fasting Mimicking Diet helps you harness fasting's benefits—autophagy, stem cell regeneration, and reduced inflammation—without complete food deprivation. A structured five-day eating plan with calorie-controlled, nutrient-rich meals offers a manageable way to rejuvenate your cells.
Senescent ("zombie") cells accumulate with age, causing inflammation and age-related diseases. Senolytic supplements, like fisetin and quercetin, can clear these cells, improving tissue health and longevity. Always consult your doctor before starting new supplements.
