Xactly, I've also tried tranquileyes. One of my problems is that when I'm asleep, I take the things off. Dumb. I just ordered something new made by Eyeeco. Maybe it'll work for me. Or maybe I'll leave them on. Who knows. We can only try, right? Dropped using the humidifier for the time being as the...

Tincup: Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the Kindle version of Fung's book, and I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm also excited about being able to continue fasting past age 70. I was disappointed to think I might have missed the window on getting the benefits of enhanced autophagy and ste...

I did 19 five-day water fasts between May 2018 and Jan 2019. Tincup: I'm reading "The Longevity Diet" by Valter Longo. He recommends periodic fasting for everyone up to age 70. The frequency depends on the individual's health, and he spells out several schedules based on various condition...

Are you able to elaborate on how your genetic information has been valuable for you? IMO, APOE4 status is only one piece of information that can help you take action to increase your healthspan. Knowing my MTHFR and other methylation-related genes status helped me realize I'm an undermethylator, an...

I have read Dr Bredesen’s book & done some research but I was hoping someone might be able to clearly explain to me what the advantages of getting genetic testing done is in terms of treatment? Or where I could find a clear outline of what you do differently based on each genetic status? There ...

I too have had difficulties with not getting enough deep sleep, and it [Oura ring] has helped me to determine whether various interventions are working. I have had some success with increasing my deep sleep. I have just started tracking sleep, and the initial data shows I am not getting enough deep...

Unfortunately, I don’t know the answers to your questions about coffee, but I wanted to comment on managing low COMT activity. Chris Masterjohn has a podcast episode on managing COMT status by addressing methylation. He has a second podcast about living with MTHFR that provides a protocol for enhanc...

Because of my "dry eye" I now sleep with a humidifier. Might that help you? Of course everything depends upon your individual needs. I also use a white noise machine. I have a trick to shut down my thinker so that I can go to sleep: I play classical music in my head, no words. I have a dr...

One more gadget to add to the list: I just ordered a Whoop strap, which is a device you wear on your wrist that tracks HRV with four other variables on a 24/7 basis. It's popular among elite athletes (a group of which I am NOT a member :) ), and the platform analyzes the data to help you maximize re...

I like a lot of the ingredients and doses. I couldn't take it because it has copper, a significant amount of Vitamin E, and calcium. If your copper/zinc ratio is good (1:1), copper may not be a problem. You can find out if you have the risk allele for Vitamin E supplementation by running raw genetic...
