Telomere Length Test #15: Correlations With Diet

I remember reading that Dean Ornish increased telomere length in his heart health study. His experimental group went on a low fat plant food diet, did some cardio and Stress reduction.

Have you tried hyperbaric oxygen therapy? It’s reported to increase telomere length

clove , brocolli , onion = plants

Thx prof Lustgarten for this another excellent presentation.How many cloves do you eat per day? What about replacing your sardines intake by anchovies ( consumed in high quantities by centenarians in Acciaroli , Italy, along with rosemary)?

Might try adding a variety of mushrooms to your diet. Ergothioneine is thought to have many benefits including increasing telomerase activity.

i have 2 questions!! 😂and i apologize if this is given in previous videos… 1. u drink green tea, has it improved telomere length? what is the data? anything? 2. how many grams of saturated fat do u consume? it looks like 18.5-22 g average mostly deriving from stearic acid? sorry!!!

That sucks about TMG with beets being correlated to so many positives in your data and TMG being one of Siim Land's favorite supplements. Interesting that TMG has been left out of the Novos and Blueprint stacks. Nutrition like most things is always a balancing act depending on moderation and synergies with no quick all or nothing fix. That's probably why your approach of trying to get most of your nutrients from food works so good. People often look at data in a linear fashion when it actually has a U shape.

Not related to this video or telomer lenght. As I strongly believe that longer telomer lenght is good for all age groups. However have you considered that other youthful results might not be the best for maximum life expectancy. Could it be that when you are young, a person is like a raging campfire that burns out its vitality faster than a fading campfire burning with a small flame. For example IGF-1 level is high at youth and will go lower during aging. And there is studies that show that high igf-1 may speed up aging or reduce life expectancy. And so I want to keep my igf-1 levels low rather than at youthful levels

interesting, very interesting. I am not sure whether you will find a significant difference in telomer length after 2 weeks. Betain and SFA came as a surprise. The O6:3 ratio kind of as well, since yours is not shaped by seed ois, but by nuts, and very low (too low?). Does Your betain come with oxalate through beets? And then there is the relation to NAD+... is your NAD level stable now?

I talked to Trudiagnostic staff. Obviously, they use indirect, predicted by DNA methylation method for measuring it, not directly measuring it. They actually suggested not to take this measurement too seriously and use a direct measurement for a fraction of the price if needed, elsewhere, to have more accurate results. Also, for my Trudiagnostic tests, the distribution is huge, from 6 to 7+ kb, so I can't use it for any conclusion.

You should consider tracking exercise (HIIT), your bed time, hours of sleep, time of year ( solstice ), as variables. I think food is very important but it is just a part of the puzzle. And MD82 mentioned Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy which you can add at the end as a way to revers age with modern science, that with Red Light Therapy or near Infrared.

Still waiting for the "My Data" on grip strength. You left us hanging.

Please tell me you're testing for mercury, since you eat fish every day it's not a matter of if you're contaminated but how much. Takes years and years to detox

What's your view on Astragalus extract for telomere length?

How do you usually consume broccoli? Raw, boiled, steamed, other?

Michael, due to the complexity of our diets and the many interactions, could you envision using AI in the future to help sort all of the out. The reductionist approach would seem to have limits because there could be some interactions or synergies between certain nutrients

One possible weak point here: there could be a sweet spot for cloves. Too little does nothing, too much might actually reduce telomere length, but the perfect dose may increase telo length. So if you increase cloves and it has a negative effect you might just want to dial it back to where you were instead of dismissing it altogether as having an effect on telomeres.

Hello, you might be missing a lot of correlations by not varying your consumption of certain foods enough. For example, suppose Mg does cause TL improvement, but you always eat the same ammount of Mg and therefore your TL length is only affected by other elements you change. You will not notice any correlation between you constant Mg and your varying TL even though there is causation there. Your approach might need more adventurous diet changes between tests even in elements that you dont find correlate with biomarkers.

You have no data for leafy greens (kale, spinach, lettuce, etc)?

Inositol pyrophosphate.
