“Identifying the mechanisms that drive these correlations is an area of active research. Decreased carbohydrate intake results in reduced insulin signaling, and reductions in protein intake leads to decreased mTOR activation, two major aging pathways.”

“To promote healthy aging, Dr. Phillips strives to maintain his body weight and remain physically active. He follows other strategies like not smoking and moderating his alcohol intake. He tries to eat a healthful diet, including fish and avoiding refined carbohydrates.”

“Metformin, a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, has garnered interest as a longevity compound because it was shown to extend lifespan in some animal models. These effects are variable and seem to depend on the age and gender of the animals, as well as the dose provided.”

“Oxidative stress plays a critical role in aging, traumatic brain injury, and autism. Recent clinical evidence suggests that sulforaphane raises levels of the potent antioxidant glutathione in the plasma and brain.”

“People who experience toxic stress often develop a profile of perseverative cognition – a prolonged response to stress that manifests as worrying or rumination and is characterized by accelerated biomarkers of aging, shortened telomeres, and inflammation.”

“Previous studies on nicotinamide mononucleotide, an NAD+ precursor, demonstrated that the molecule is effective in increasing NAD+ levels across multiple tissues while improving the outcome of a variety of age-related diseases in rodents.”

“Ensuring adequate magnesium intake is crucial for minimizing DNA damage and supporting longevity, emphasizing the mineral's importance in healthy aging. Insufficient magnesium intake leads to the depletion of magnesium stores in the bones.”

“FoundMyFitness Topic - Berberine – Berberine is a plant-based compound with pharmacological actions that share many features with metformin. FoundMyFitness Topic - Hallmarks of Aging – The hallmarks of aging are observable biological patterns of dysfunction that accrue in a biological organism over time.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“Whole‐blood NAD+ increased >2‐fold with NR, while plasma IL‐6 was unchanged. Exploratory analyses suggested airway gene pathway shifts related to genomic integrity and reduced epigenetic aging, although these were exploratory outcomes.”
