Today's longevity myth: FDA won't approve a drug that slows aging, because aging is not recognized as a disease. instagram.com/p/DKa6wFFxufJ/

The response from Matt Kaeberlein to a the question about NMN and why it's bad: "I wouldn't say NMN is necessarily "bad" although there is one study showing evidence that it causes kidney damage in aged animals. No data I'm aware of in humans on that. Leaving that risk out, there

Today's Longevity Myth: Resveratrol is a longevity molecule You knew this one was coming, right? It's hard for me to believe how many people still think resveratrol is a longevity supplement. The scientific community moved on more than a decade ago, but some high profile

Huh, I feel like I've been saying exactly this for at least 5 years now... We still don't have anything better than rapamycin as a longevity drug and nothing close to 1990s caloric restriction at all. Would be great to get some real discovery science going to find new, large

Todays Longevity Myth: Your longevity is mostly determined by your genes. Less than 50% of longevity is inherited, and it's probably closer to 25% for most people. That means you have the power to greatly influence your own longevity and healthspan trajectory.

Why can't we do better than caloric restriction? From Matt Kaeberlein's talk at the NUS Gerophysics conference. Full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=hySlWn…

I need to update this with some new interventions, but the message will be the same. Other than CR, nothing is better than rapamycin for longevity (in mice) and nothing comes close to CR. Metformin, intermittent fasting, and nicotinamide riboside have lifespans essentially
