Can you leverage nutrient density to extend your lifespan? In this video, I discuss Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory and how applying that theory to your nutrient intake can help you age healthily.

Thank you for reviewing and sharing the research articles. Instinctively and evolutionarily, this makes complete sense. I've always believed micronutrient deficiencies can manifest as subclinical mild symptoms (such as fatigue, aches, memory difficulties, etc.) to full blown disorders (schizophrenia, depression, osteoporosis, etc.). Combine it with toxicities of daily life and you have the answers to modern day chronic disorders and aging. To make matters worse, the medical field remedy is not to reverse the cause but to throw more insults to the body (drugs/medications) that do nothing but suppress the symptoms. Thanks for the video!

You're so welcome! I agree with you 100%, and have come to believe that restoring optimal nutrient status is the #1 thing that most of us can do to prevent and reverse disease, feel and perform our best, and extend our lifespan. Thanks for your comment!

Please can you do a deep dive on "wear and tear" arthritis of the hip. Conventional doctors just say wait for it to get bad enough then have a hip replacement! No advice on diet, fasting, body muscle to fat ratio, exercise, gut health or supplements etc. I feel taking high strength painkillers daily then other medications to mitigate the negative side effects of the painkillers on stomach and then layering that with advice to have a biscuit or toast doesn't seem to promote overall health. Pain management at any cost on full body health and quality of life.

Thanks for your comment. This is a great suggestion and I will put it on my list!

@@chriskresser thank you so much, I feel rather desperate as my mother has been talked into a completely hopeless state of pain and decline, without any belief that diet and exercise can help reduce pain and improve joint health

I hear that supplements are high in deuterium that impedes mitochondrial function.

Thanks for your comment. Not all supplements are created equal. It's true that there are many inferior quality products on the market. That's why it's important to buy from a trusted source. All Adapt Naturals products are independently tested for heavy metals and other contaminants by a third-party source. They are also manufactured in a U.S. facility that meets the NSF’s rigorous GMP regulatory standards.
