An honest review of The Good Inside by Touchstone Essentials at 71 — the B Corp credentials, the label-transparency problem, the detox category that does not hold up, and the one product I actually buy.
Sixteen grams of protein for eighty-two calories, 370% of your B12, and a sodium load worth watching. What Alaskan king crab actually does for an aging body — and whether it was worth a hundred dollars.
Yes — but not because of radiation. The RF evidence is unresolved and probably small. The behavioral evidence is settled and large. Here is what your phone actually does to your sleep, and why it matters more after 60.
An Alaska cruise hits four longevity levers harder than most of the gadgets in my house — cold, steps, awe, and connection. Here is my protocol for the trip, and an honest list of the ways a cruise works against you.
Telomere pioneer Dr. Bill Andrews explains why everyone gets cancer daily, how telomere shortening drives aging, and whether aging can be reversed. Full interview inside.
A Google-backed team just reversed a form of aging damage long considered permanent — cutting it 55-70% in aged human tissue. A real age reversal breakthrough, and what it actually means.
The short version: I switched to aluminum-free deodorant. Most antiperspirants use aluminum compounds to plug sweat glands, and daily use adds up over decades. The science isn’t settled: large reviews haven’t found a definite link to breast cancer or brain disease, but some researchers urge caution. For me, avoiding a daily exposure I don’t need…
I sat down with Dr. Bill Andrews — telomere scientist, 50+ patents, almost 75 and still chasing a cure for aging. Here’s who he is, what we covered, and when the full video drops.
The Hume Body Pod says my metabolic age is 53. My Function Health blood work says 56. I’m 71. Two different rulers, two different numbers — here’s what a smart scale actually measures, and why I weigh in weekly at 71.
Gum bacteria has been found in arterial plaque and in human brain tissue. Why gum disease raises your risk of heart disease and dementia — and why I quit antiseptic mouthwash at 71.
My June 2026 Function Health results at 71: biological age 56, down two years from my last draw. What moved, what didn’t, and what I’m changing next.
The short version: I’ve brushed with CardioSmile’s fluoride-free Breath of Life toothpaste twice a day for six months. It’s designed to protect the mouth bacteria that turn dietary nitrate into nitric oxide, the molecule that keeps blood vessels flexible and blood pressure in check. My gums feel healthier and I have less sensitivity. No study…
The short version: I’ve added NAD+ injections to my protocol: 0.25 mL under the skin of my belly, seven days a week. NAD+ is a molecule every cell needs to make energy and repair DNA, and levels may fall by half or more by your 60s and 70s. I inject instead of taking pills to…
Grip strength is one of the simplest, most powerful predictors of healthy aging — a proxy for your whole neuromuscular system. At 71, I test mine regularly with a tool that costs about $10.
Facial fitness intrigued me. We train our bodies with strength workouts — why not our faces? Here’s my honest take on the Jawzrsize at 71.
The short version: Your oral health is one of the most overlooked predictors of how long you’ll live. Gum disease bacteria have been found in artery plaque and brain tissue, and chronic gum inflammation raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes and dementia. People with 20 or more natural teeth at 70 tend to live…
The short version: I started microdosing a GLP-1 drug once a week, at a fraction of the weight-loss dose, and not to lose weight. Several longevity doctors at the DaVinci 50 mastermind recommended it for wider benefits. Large trials show GLP-1s lower heart attack and stroke risk, and research points to benefits for blood sugar,…
She says gene therapy reversed 20 years of her biological aging — on her own body, outside the normal trial system. My take on the claim and the evidence.
The Asian squat is how humans rested for thousands of years before chairs. I lasted less than 20 seconds. A year later it’s five minutes — and a non-negotiable part of my daily longevity protocol.
The short version: Kathy and I attended our first DaVinci 50 longevity mastermind in Sundance, Utah, and left as members. Speakers included gene therapy pioneer Elizabeth Parrish, RealAge creator Dr. Michael Roizen, NES Health founder Harry Massey and Wei-Wu He of Human Longevity, Inc. The experience pushed us to book full genome sequencing and helped…
