“The stability of DNA methylation patterns - in terms of sample reliability - makes the use of epigenetic clock data an attractive tool in the hands of researchers investigating aging around the world.”

“Limiting evening light exposure, decreasing the temperature of the room in which we sleep, reducing our anxiety, and restricting the intake of substances that alter our alertness can have demonstrable effects on improving our sleep.”
Clip
“Dr. Huberman’s practical range is deliberately cautious: not drinking avoids the exposure, and lower weekly intake creates less burden than a drink every night or heavier episodes.”

“Vasopressin, a pituitary hormone that acts to promote the retention of water by the kidneys and increase blood pressure, is also a social bonding hormone in males — similar to oxytocin in females. Tim recounts his experiences taking vasopressin in college to boost his short term memory.”
“Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”
“In part I of this two-part series on the future of aging research, we discussed the hallmarks of aging and the cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”
“Beyond its role in sexual development, testosterone is important for overall health, influencing mood, energy levels, and even cognitive function. Testosterone is also a highly contested topic, especially in the context of resistance exercise, lifestyle, and managing low testosterone.”
“Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments that contaminate our food, water, and air, making exposure nearly unavoidable. Even healthy choices—such as brushing our teeth or drinking plenty of water—bring us into contact with vast amounts of microplastics.”
“In this Aliquot, I'll explore how to recognize and address iron deficiency, the unique challenges of iron overload in aging, the ways alcohol may influence brain iron, and how infants tightly regulate iron as a built-in defense against infection.”
“From THC, CBD, alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to melatonin, magnesium, glycine, and calming botanicals, these compounds can either support restorative sleep or subtly hijack it, changing REM, deep sleep, and circadian timing in ways we often do not feel until the next day.”
