My Public Longevity Database at 71

Most people start a new supplement, diet or exercise routine full of enthusiasm and quietly drop it three weeks later. I have done it too. What changed for me was putting everything I do for The 200 Year Life Project on public pages on this site, where anyone can check whether I am still doing it.

Why I Track My Longevity Protocol in Public

Longevity is not one magic pill or one breakthrough. It is hundreds of small decisions stacked every day, year after year. Consistency beats intensity, but consistency is hard to keep without visibility.

Once something is on the site, it is public. Friends, family, followers and skeptics can all see whether I kept going six months later. That small bit of accountability turns “I will try this for a while” into “I am doing this until the data says otherwise.”

Where to Find Each Part of My Data

When I started on August 15, 2025, it was one simple list. It is now six pages, each kept current as I add, drop or change something:

My Daily Longevity Protocols lists every supplement I take with the dose, plus my morning routine, daily shake, evening routine and food additions. Each one links to a video or post on why I take it.
My Longevity Fitness Routine lists the exercises I do every day, with sets and weights. None of it needs a gym: a few dumbbells, a walk and about half an hour.
Changes and Results lists every change I have made since day one, from cutting sugar to removing plastics, and what has happened as a result.
My Blood Tests and Biomarker Results shows every result from my Function Health blood draws, twice a year, side by side with the previous test, plus what my whole genome test and full body MRI found.
My Longevity Toolkit lists every product I use in one place, with search and filters.
Discount Codes lists the deals I have on the products I use.

Some links on the Toolkit and Discount Codes pages are affiliate links, so I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.

I Built My Own iPhone App to Track Mine

The public pages are the summary. The day-to-day logging happens in a private app I built for myself, which sits on my iPhone home screen and opens full screen like any other app.

Every morning I type in my blood pressure, sleep score and weight, and tick off anything from the day before that could move those numbers. Through the day I check off my exercises as I do them, and the app keeps my streak. My steps and walking speed come in from my iPhone, body fat from my smart scale, heart rate and HRV from my ring, and glucose from my glucose monitor, all without me typing anything.

It also has a page for my supplements, where I tap anything that is running low so I know what to reorder, and a page with my blood test, DNA and MRI results.

Seeing it all in one place every morning is what keeps me honest. If my blood pressure creeps up, I can look back and see what I did the day before.

What Tracking Has Done for Me

Logging alone does not extend anyone's life, but it creates the conditions for the habits that do. Here is what it has changed for me.

I Stick With Things

Quitting something that is on a public page feels like breaking a promise. I have kept dozens of small habits I would have dropped without that gentle pressure.

I Decide With Data Instead of Guesswork

When I think about adding or dropping something, I can look back at when I started it and what my bloodwork did after. My biological age on the Function Health panel went from 58 in January 2026 to 56 in June 2026, and I wrote up what changed in that blood test.

The Results Are on the Record

The Changes and Results page lists what has happened since I started. I no longer take blood pressure medicine, an antacid or a prescription sleep aid. I no longer need a CPAP. I average 7.5 hours of sleep a night, up from 4 to 5 hours, and I reached my lowest weight since high school.

It Helps Other People Start

The most rewarding part is when someone tells me they started their own log because they saw mine. Longevity is not a solo sport.

How to Start Your Own Longevity Log

You do not need a website. Here is a simple way to begin today:

Pick a free tool. Google Sheets, Notion, or a paper notebook all work. Keep it private at first if sharing feels like too much.
Use a few columns. Date, category (supplement, exercise, test), what you did, dose or amount, and how you felt.
Set one rule. Nothing new goes into your body or your routine without being logged first.
Review it weekly. Look for gaps and for anything that changed after you started something.
Share it when you are ready. Even a small trusted group gives you the accountability boost.

Start small. Logging one habit for 30 days is enough to build momentum.

Final Thoughts: Track It to Stack It

My pages are not magic. They are a mirror that shows me, and anyone who looks, whether my actions match my ambitions. In a world full of longevity hype and one-off experiments, consistent tracking is the quiet habit that separates dabblers from people who actually change their health.

What is one habit you are going to start logging tomorrow? Drop it in the comments below.

Everything I take is on my protocols page, what I do to stay strong is on my fitness page, and every number I track is on my test and stats page.

Live long and prosper,

A note from Gary: I am not a doctor, and I am definitely not your doctor. I am a 71-year-old running a 129-year experiment on myself and publishing the results as they come. Never stop a prescription medication without talking to your physician first, and talk to your physician before changing your supplements or exercise routine.
