Every video from The 200 Year Life Project — longform interviews with longevity researchers, short experiments, and the day-to-day of chasing 200 years in public.
Everyone tells me they sleep great. Almost nobody knows their deep sleep, REM or how often they woke up. Here is why I track mine at 71, and why it matters for dementia. Watch the short on YouTube.
The 10,000 steps a day goal came from a 1965 Japanese pedometer ad, not research. Studies show the longevity benefit levels off around 6,000 to 8,000 steps for adults over 60. Here is why I aim for 7,500.
Falls are the leading cause of injury death after 65. Here is the simple balance drill I do on every walk at 71: stepping up onto the curb for 40 or 50 steps. Watch the short on YouTube.
I once drank ten diet sodas a day and no water at all. Quitting cold turkey was the first thing I did to lose weight, and the scale dropped 30 pounds.
Stuart Lackey, co-founder and CEO of SOUND HSA, on saving for healthcare in bitcoin inside a tax-advantaged HSA, and what anyone over 65 needs to know first. Watch the interview on YouTube.
A big glass of water with fresh lemon before coffee, before breakfast, before anything. Why you wake up close to a pound of fluid down, what mild dehydration does to focus and mood, and the honest number on how much vitamin C half a lemon really gives you. Watch the walk on YouTube.
I took prescription famotidine for eight years. Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, morning and night, is why I stopped. What the research does and does not support, the enamel warning that made me quit drinking it, and why I use gummies now. Watch the walk on YouTube.
A 20 pound vest on every walk, no extra time and about fifty dollars. Then I read the trial that says it may not do what everyone claims it does.
Every supplement with the dose and the reason, the morning routine, the training, and the blood markers I track. Free when you subscribe, then one email a week with the whole week of posts and videos in one place.
One tablespoon of MCT oil in a cup of coffee every morning. Why the brain needs its own fuel, how much I take, and what a year of this actually did to my brain fog.
Creatine was the first supplement I ever took. Five grams saturates muscle, but the brain sits behind the blood-brain barrier and needs more. Here is why I take 15 grams in my coffee every morning, and what the research does and does not support.
I switched off plastic coffee pods and thought the job was done. Six months later I realised the water was still running through plastic tubing and a plastic basket. Here is the glass setup I use now, and why I think it is worth it even though the science is not settled.
Four friends died recently and two of them died from falling. Falls are the leading cause of injury death after 65 and the rate is climbing. Here are the two balance drills I do every morning at 71, in under five minutes, using a chair and the line where my carpet meets the wood floor.
I used to watch the sunrise from the dock every morning to set my circadian rhythm, and then the traveling took the habit away without me noticing. Now I am rebuilding it as a two-mile walk — and starting a daily series recorded while I walk.
Aubrey de Grey gives us a 50-50 chance of reaching longevity escape velocity within 12 to 15 years. At 71 I asked him what arrives first, what nobody is ready for, and the one thing someone my age should start doing.
The man who put biological age in front of ordinary people twenty-five years before anyone was selling epigenetic tests is coming on the podcast. He is 80, he still practices, and he thinks 90 will be the new 40. Here is who he is, and what I want you to help me ask him.
Richard Rossi founded DaVinci 50, a fifty-person longevity mastermind, because the group he wanted to join did not exist. At 71 I asked him why most people say no to a longer life. His answer was three fears, and none of them were medical.
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.
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.
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.
