Thanks James. I post my daily diet on Patreon, there's a workout video on this channel, and I cover supplements and the average diet composition that corresponds to each blood test in videos following testing. For example, supplements and diet composition will be in this weekend's video, but that also exists for Test #5 in '22.

@@conqueragingordietrying123 I agree. I've been delaying such tests because of hasle, time will take, especially to research what to test. The way I see that testing can help me, is first of all diagnosis. If my bio-age turns out to be bad (the thought of which, frankly, scares me a bit, after having taken care of my health, my whole life, more than average people) , I will know which particular biomarkers are the culprits. Then I will do research to see how to improve them. Then intervene, and after a while test again, as you say, to see if worked. If not, research again and repeat...

Ha, not may, but definitely! These biomarkers have been studied for 50-100y+, depending on the biomarker, so they're well studied. Epigenetic clocks are still being sorted out in terms of which aspects of aging that they actually measure-have you seen this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3_Rp3lnes1qjKc Also, these biomarkers cost < $80 USD, in comparison to epigenetic tests at ~$300 (or more). Don't get me wrong-eventually I'll add epigenetic testing to my approach, in addition to the clinical biomarkers.

I would love to see some 20-year-old carnivores' albumins and see if those numbers are also high. The graph in the video is probably the statistics of SAD eaters so it may not apply on carnivores. For example, if you put Saladino's LDL number (>500mg/dL) in any chart, you might think he's dying.

The albumin data is based on 1+ million subjects, so there would need to be an equivalent amount of subjects eating a carnivore diet to see somewhat similar data. Also, what's Paul highest albumin level, carnivore diet or not? If it's 5, which I expect, then his 4.1 is definitely far from optimal.

In your book, "Microbial Burden", you discuss how methionine restriction is more optimal for increased lifespan, vis~a~vis increased expression of the intestinal epithelial cell tight junction protein claudin-3. Given that one of the ravages of aging is sarcopenia, which requires a compensatory increase in protein consumption, this seems like a conflicting dilemma (damned if you do, damned if you don't). Can you recommend an efficacious compromise for both? Would supplementing with EAA's be suitable, for example? Thanks!
@conqueragingordietrying123
@conqueragingordietrying123 4 жыл бұрын
I agree, it is a dilemma! Personally, I eat 115-130g of protein/day, which is not a methione-restricted diet. With lower protein intakes, I'd risk having less muscle mass, which is important for functional lifespan. Also, a higher protein intake is correlated with lower homocysteine (for me), so that's another reason why my protein intake higher than it probably should be. Last, I use blood testing to monitor my protein intake with measurement of BUN: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2eYZYyKqsd5iK8

Dear Michael, why the age calculator does not take into account any Cardio Vascular and/or Lipid biomarker? I'm not surprised not seeing LDL there, as it really tells nothing about Vascular health. But isn't there any good marker that can tell us about heart and arteries health? Nitric Oxide maybe? Or something? Probably too difficult, so some other measures should be taken into account that can really evaluate arteries health beyond Heart Rate Variability, Heart resting pulse, blood pressure. I don't know, but I guess more functional tests of heart, arteries and other organs should be included.

Great video. I'm amazed by my numbers. Thank you for the boost of confidence. In the beginning of the video you show a chart of age & biological age together & by the looks of it, a 10 year difference is about the most that is possible. Or am I reading that chart wrong? So we are eating right, sleeping right, exercising right, supplementing right. So what is left to do? For me I'm going to maybe start fasting a few days a month. I should add some weight lifting to the cardio I suppose. Maybe I'll start donating blood more frequently. Not sure if there is data on that but there was a recent paper on cognitive benefit from blood dilution. Not sure if 1 pint cuts it there though. Maybe they'll let me give 2. :) Going to get a cardio MRI to look for calcification. (don't want the radiation from the CT version) And maybe start a statin if there is evidence. Is NR something to try? You and I are the same age. Curious if you are supplementing NR as well.

If I remember correctly, Saladino claimed that his CRP was moderately high because he exercised the day before. But then he posted another, lower CRP, but without the rest of the data to calculate biological age. Also, 1.7 mg/L is elevated relative to the all-cause mortality data showing that < ~0.3 may be optimal, but even higher values are found in older adults, so I wouldn't call his data huge. But yeah, based on his body comp., 1.7 is relatively higher than it should be.

It's all about biochemical mechanisms related to disease risk and longevity. For ex., saying that albumin can only be as high as 4.5 on a carnivore diet doesn't mean that's the maximum that one can achieve, especially considering that higher values can be accomplished by adding other foods into the diet. With the exception of a few locations in the world, eating only meat indefinitely is not evolutionarily accurate. For most of primate evolution, we ate meat and plants.
