Short videos from the 200 Year Life Project — one longevity idea, experiment or result at a time, usually in under a minute.
I tried the Death Clock AI app at 71. It predicts I’ll die at 89 and admits it’s only 40% reliable. Here’s how its guess stacks up against my real blood test and MRI. Watch the Short on YouTube.
I chew two whole cloves every night before bed. Here is what happened to my wake-up glucose on a continuous glucose monitor, and what the research says.
Part 2 of walking backwards: I took it up the hill. The first try I took tiny steps and stalled. Five days later I reach the top at my normal pace. Watch the walk on YouTube.
How I use free AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Grok at 71 to explain my blood tests, MRI and glucose data, and the questions I ask about exercise and supplements.
I’m starting fermented foods for gut health at 71, beginning with kefir in my shake and kimchi on camera next week. The problem: I hate cabbage.
My wife Kathy and I now walk backwards for part of every morning walk. It is harder than it sounds, especially uphill, and it trains three things that matter after 70: balance, legs and brain.
Dr. Michael Roizen has a 99-year-old patient who nearly doubled the life expectancy he was born with. Here is why that makes me think 200 is not so crazy.
I do not have diabetes, but I am wearing a Stelo glucose monitor for two months at 71 to see how coffee, cookies, ice cream, wine and a walk after eating affect my blood sugar.
My full body MRI results at 71 came back in under 24 hours: nothing urgent, no cancer, two items to raise with my doctor, and eight that are just normal wear and tear.
Two hours strapped into an MRI at 71, with no symptoms and no doctor’s order. What the full body MRI and brain MRA were like, how loud it gets, and how fast the results came back.
My doctor did not order it and insurance will not pay, so I am spending about $3,100 on a full body MRI at 71. Here are my two reasons, and why false positives do not scare me. Watch the short on YouTube.
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.
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.
