“The answer might be someone that can complete the EPIC5, like Rich. In other words, completing, 5 days in a row, an iron distance triathlon: a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride followed by a 26.2-mile (42.2 km) marathon.”

“The rats on the prebiotic diet also had greater abundance of several health-promoting microbes, including Ruminiclostridium 5, compared to those on the standard diet. Previous research indicates that Ruminiclostridium 5 is associated with improved sleep.”

“In humans, a naturally occurring IGF-1 deficient population exists in a region of Ecuador. These individuals live slightly longer and do not succumb to the diseases of aging compared to their relatives with typical IGF-1 receptors, regardless of diet and lifestyle practices.”

“Preclinical research suggests that this can be accomplished by feeding animals an IGF-1 promoting diet, in conjunction with antibodies against the IGF-1 receptor which are unable to cross the blood-brain barrier.”
