Bryan Johnson & His Longevity Protocol

Not AD-specific, but of longevity interest. Is anyone aware of Bryan Johnson and his studies on longevity (on himself?) Just curious. Saw Dr. Joel Kahn interview him and it was all new to me. And does anyone know why his face and neck are spotted (at least in one video I saw.) He's the guy who "...

Re: Announcing a Personalized Precision Medicine Clinical Trial to Reverse Dementia

Dr. Bredesen likes Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein for purity, quality, and price. It has a slightly gritty mouthfeel so is best used in a smoothie. Julie, Found this old thread. At my age and with the amount of calories I need to eat to lose a pound a week, I'm finding it hard to up my protein without...

Without getting fancy with meters, it would be a level where, if you were exercising and talking on the phone, the other person would know you were exercising, but you would not be out of breath.
Thanks! I like the simple explanation! :lol:

Re: fasting glucose and a1c

Exercise will allow translocation of GLUT 4 transporters, this action will allow the cells to draw up glucose without insulin. The intensity of exercise makes a big difference. Zone 2 intensity (which I've posted on numerous times) appears to be a sweet spot where you get the GLUT 4 translocation, ...

Re: Gauging Interest in a Trial with Valter Longo, PhD

For this experiment, I'd lower fat and increase protein. The ketone production switch is insulin. Carbs and protein both spike insulin acutely with protein having about 54% of the impact of an equivalent amount of carbs. Because of the Randle Cycle , fat increases insulin by increasing insulin resi...

Re: Gauging Interest in a Trial with Valter Longo, PhD

My Thoughts on Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Your doctor is correct, older folks tend to need more protein, but is it a need for growth or is it a need for essential nutrients that we tend to not absorb as well as we get older? I suspect it’s the latter. So does this mean to increase the ani...

Re: Gauging Interest in a Trial with Valter Longo, PhD

~ means approximately. Since I was writing my post from memory & I didn't go back and check for exact values. Though I don't have time to go into detail. IGF-1 isn't necessarily a high is bad, low is good marker, in my understanding. I don't think we want it high all the time but IGF-1 is neede...

Re: Gauging Interest in a Trial with Valter Longo, PhD

From memory, when I looked at some of Longo's FMD studies years ago, his subjects had a beginning Igf-1 of ~195 and were ~150 after. Just following Gundry's normal plan, my Igf-1 is ~120 and my 4/4 wife's is ~80 (from memory),. So we do a lot better on an ongoing basis than Longo's participants do ...

Re: Questions about Apollo recipes & cholesterol

Theresa, do you mean the same risks as conjugated estrogen (i.e. Premarin)? Because those risks don't apply to synthetic bioidentical hormones. Just looking for clarification. :)
