📘 GUIDEBOOK | Supplements for Longevity
Before you reach for supplements, it’s best to optimize the foundations of a healthy lifestyle - sleep, diet, exercise, socialization and mental health.
With those in place again, before reaching for a pill bottle, try adjusting your diet to add the supplement through whole-foods. Fruits, vegetables and proteins contain more than just the supplement and many of these molecules support each other in the whole-food source.
Of course it’s true that some nutrients may have to be supplemented because they are not part of our natural diet. Some people may suffer from deficiencies such as a lack of fiber, potassium, iron, glycine, etc. In either case, supplementation could be the right path forward.
In terms of longevity, the aging research community has been looking for supplements which extend lifespan and healthspan. Several have been identified and studied in laboratory model organisms, such as the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), a clear nematode (C. elegans) and rodent models.
Since clinical trials for longevity supplements are expensive, difficult to design, control and fund, many aging researchers are experimenting on themselves in order to demonstrate the effects as an N=1 (sample size of 1).
We see this type of experimentation from longevity enthusiasts like Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and Bryan Johnson, who have made their supplement stacks public.
Keep in mind that many of these longevity influencers have more financial resources than the average person and have a team of people in place to help them achieve their optimal health. Copying one of their routines may not be necessary or right for everyone.
I’ve created a guidebook to educate you about longevity supplements and share what the celebrity longevity enthusiasts are trying out.
