16y Younger Biological Age: Supplements, Diet (Test #3 in 2024)

Isnt that alot of fructose considering the mitochondrial inhibition by fructose and its downstream metabolites? Maybe you should ferment the strawberries in a yogurt maker to knock down the fructose. I make my own fruit heavy , " super yogurt" with extra added specialized bacteria like akermansia and L reuteri and have it in a smoothie. Its dead easy to do with a yogurt maker. You have to puree the fruit though. Might be an interesting experiment considering the negative effects of fructose consumption. Anything that downregulates ATP cannot be benificial to you despite the positive actions of the polyphenols. Fermenting might be the beneficial. You are blending it anyway. Plus you get the probiotics.

To lower Homocysteine, in addition to the BCAA's and Vit B12 and folate from plants that you already have, I'd suggest creatine, 2 grams/day. You should see the score plummet.

Excellent as usual.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the thyroid video. Looking to increase T3 which has fallen during caloric deficit.

Great content as always 😁

I always watch this channel as an inspiration and hope to change my bad eating habits.

Mike, awesome video! I love your diet. It looks about perfect. Interestingly, your macronutrient breakdown is virtually identical to Bryan Johnson's diet. I don't know the exact breakdown of Valter Longo's longevity diet but I think it is also similar. He recommends one ounce of nuts and three tablespoons of evoo a day. I've been rethinking my own macronutrient intake lately. I have been more or less following the macronutrient ratio that the Okinawans - 80/10/10- followed thinking that to be best. I'm really second guessing this now. I'm currently experimenting with upping my fat intake slowly. I would love it if you would maybe devote a little of your upcoming video time to sharing your thinking on macronutrient ratios.

Hi Michael. Why you don‘t consume olive oil? Great content 👍

I see you ended up with 19% of proteins as well as some others "biohackers". I experment with a bit higher number, like 26% proteins, instead of carbs. It results in me getting satiated with fewer calories, helping me to lose weight. Now I know there is data on all cause mortality better for 19%, but to lower bmi may be more important in my case. 33% proteins is definitely worse, but 25-26%, maybe it's a good trade-off if it helps to restrict calories?

appreciate your professional presentation on this insetesting topic , tks

Great stuff as always Michael do you consume liver perhaps beef liver or chicken liver ? and what carbs do you consume potatoes rice pasta? Also you take very few supplements. Do you see no value in taking supplements such as Alpha lipoic acid CoQ10 and ALCAR for mitochondrial health and optimisation? What about red light therapy?

Hi, do you ever tested iron level? (like ferritin, transferrin saturation,etc) because I can see that your iron intake are very high, or you do not have concern about it. thanks

In that it activates MTOR, I would assume that BCAA's would accelerate aging. Wrong?

@5:22 Understanding Calories in Foods Calories are a measure of energy. Specifically, a calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. In nutrition, we often use the term kilocalorie (kcal), which equals 1,000 calories and is commonly referred to simply as a "calorie." What Do Calories Measure? Calories in foods measure the energy content that the body can extract and use for various functions such as: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): The energy needed for maintaining vital bodily functions at rest, like breathing, circulation, and cell production. Physical Activity: Energy expended during movement and exercise. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): The energy used in digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food. How Calories Work in the Body When you consume food, your body breaks it down into its constituent nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) provide energy: Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram Proteins: 4 calories per gram Fats: 9 calories per gram These nutrients are metabolized to release energy, which the body uses to perform various functions. Any excess energy is stored as fat. Individual Differences in Caloric Needs Caloric needs differ for each person based on several factors: Age: Metabolic rate generally decreases with age. Sex: Men often have higher caloric needs than women due to having more muscle mass. Body Composition: Muscle burns more calories at rest compared to fat. Activity Level: More physically active individuals require more calories. Health Status: Certain medical conditions can affect metabolism and energy requirements. Energy Balance Positive Energy Balance: Consuming more calories than expended leads to weight gain. Negative Energy Balance: Consuming fewer calories than expended leads to weight loss. Energy Balance: Consuming calories equal to the amount expended maintains current weight. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) The thermic effect of food refers to the energy required to digest, absorb, and metabolize nutrients. TEF can account for about 10% of the total caloric intake and varies with different macronutrients: Proteins: Have a higher TEF compared to carbohydrates and fats because they require more energy to break down. Misconceptions About Calories A common misconception is that the calorie content of food is the amount of energy needed to break it down. Instead, calories measure the potential energy food can provide once it is metabolized. The body's efficiency in extracting and utilizing this energy can vary based on factors such as digestive health and metabolic rate. Conclusion Calories are a fundamental measure of energy in food that reflect the potential energy available for bodily functions, physical activity, and metabolic processes. Individual caloric needs can vary widely based on various factors, and understanding these can help manage diet and health more effectively. (chatGDP 3.5)

Appreciate the value you provide! Can i ask do you take levothyroxine first in the morning or before bed? And did you try to fix it through naturals ways like food and supplements?

How do you cook your collards?

How are you maintaining consistent supply of the top foods, and is there an ongoing battle for fridge space in your household!?

Great video a question if I'm correct, do you consume 1.6 gram of protein x kg of total body weight or just for the lean mass? you also are think to increase that number or no? thanks

Why the high amounts of strawberrys? Is it because of vit b3? And what is "Com"? Even my translator didnt recognise it. Concerning brazil nuts: I only eat 5.5g per day because of the possible high amounts of radium. Have you concidered that?

maybe water with viniger reduces cravings for sugar but reduces energy output
