Longevity Scientist Critiques Mike Israetel's "Exercise Scientist Critiques"

[@DrewKime]

I've always liked Dr. Mike's stuff because he's very clear about, "This part gets you 90% of the benefit, this other part works, but for most people isn't worth the effort." I'm glad to see other experts confirm he's right on the science.

[@JoshuaOdionson]

This is pretty much where I'm at. I've followed Dr. Mike for close to 10 years, and the majority of his advice will be have him saying something to the effect of "This should work most of the time for most people" and he makes that clear, he doesn't typically deal with any absolutes. And the majority of his advice, even at worse while not necessarily "good" advice, it isn't "bad" advice

[@Rickalicious]

This health/ exercise space is definitely levelling up. Next up, Mike critiques the critique. Otherwise known as a response 😅

This was great. Love this format. Dr Mike would be a great entertaining guest and would take any pushback quite graciously. He is a PhD but be prepared for extremely high energy.

[@againsteveryoneswill1923]

And very sweary, crude commentary.

[@ShiroKage009]

His PhD is in sports science if memory serves. That's why he doesn't know enough about longevity.

[@ThrivingBodyFit]

​@@againsteveryoneswill1923The sweary, crass commentary is very important before inviting Mike lol

[@karamelflan]

extremely *horny energy

[@UbuPluto]

What I liked most is his comment that “at least that aligns with my opinions” rather that flat out saying this is right and/or wrong. It shows an appropriate amount of humility.

[@seby123321]

The more you learn the more you realise how little you actually know

[@persistenthomology]

Loving the reaction videos, keep it up! I think there is a massive hunger for unbiased, thoughtful, and reputable information (especially in response to the sea of garbage that is already out there) about longevity and aging.

[@Xandra_gaming]

I’m personally very interested in learning more about longevity and am already a huge Dr. Mike fan. I’m glad I was able to find this ‘reacts’ video and your channel! This was great!

[@nicholasarapis]

We need a Dr. Mike and Dr. Matt collaboration!

[@kennethoneill4176]

Dr Mike fan to amused by the long response to his joke about just make it to 2040

[@NicholasOdinson]

Have you watched his original video? He’s elaborated on the point to a degree that I’m 99% confident it’s not a joke. But, he does have layers of dry humor so who knows.

[@Macbobob]

I found this through being a fan of Dr Mike. You've got a new follower, loved the format and look forward to seeing the rest of your videos!

[@leocmen]

Dr. Mike is a very interesting character... He packs the technical content in very smart communication folders

[@Jack-hv3uj]

In the past, 'reaction' videos seemed pointless and infuriating when people were just reacting to e.g cat videos... But to hear the opinions and thoughts and critique and analysis from one scientist to another really holds a lot of value and benefit! Enjoyed the format, would love more and similar content, helps to see blindspots in my own thinking, and gain a more reasonable view on the world - thanks for uploading!

[@ElTorro15]

It's like reading a discussion under a scientific blog/quora/facebook/whatever post, except the people commenting actually know what they're talking about

[@Neotenico]

As a biochemist (just a BS tho), I'm glad that the health and fitness space is becoming more scientific in nature. There's a level of bluntness and humility that most people in science have to develop (typically via suffering in academia) to assert a more widely accepted hypothesis or to acknowledge when they're out of their depth, and it makes the transfer of knowledge *so* much more efficient and easy to understand. It makes pursuing my own fitness goals more intellectually stimulating, which personally really ups my motivation and enjoyment of the process. Really appreciate that this was on display in the critique! Curious to do some reading on NMN and see what that's all about.

[@HealthandExercise-ht1zl]

Man that "level of bluntness" can really bite you in the ass out in civilian life when you accidentally expose it to normal people who usually haven't had to develop the necessary humility to match it..

[@FrightF]

Well if you want Biochemistry check out Sara Pughs YT. Health Science can never be as science based as the name suggests. This is because your cant run extended tests with adequate Controls. Professor Bart Kay has covered all that on his main YT channel. He also covers the flaws of what Beliefs people hold, which have and always will be wrong. Just because the Institutes themselves are utterly corrupted. Harvard is one for example. Harry Serpanos is also a self-taught good source of what nobody covers at length or is able to piece together.

[@cecilsmith24]

yeah there are a lot of people preaching the benefits of NMN for the NAD cycle. Not sure I understand the hate on that one. It is a little pricey, but Bryan Johnson and Jeffrey Gladden support it and I believe the NOVOS supplement and Nuchido have it in. It just gives more NAD to help make ATP is my understanding.

[@dude861]

@@cecilsmith24 Still there is no human data to support benefits of NMN supplementation. Most studies done on humans show no effect.

[@cecilsmith24]

@dude861 dr Nicola Conlon has done some research on NAD with her Time+ supplement which is basically NMN and her data is published on the site. Granted she's selling a product, but NMN, NR even Niacin are precursors for NAD+ and even if the uptake is less than 50% from the supplement the idea of increasing the amount of NAD present is positive. I would be interested to see a study with older participants as that is where I believe you would see the most benefit.

[@VladdyDaddy369]

Haha this was great! Love Dr Mike, his style, makes me laugh every time. And his advice is generally super solid.

[@superm70]

Dr Mike rocks on!!!!!! So much respect for him, why don't you guys actually do a podcast with Dr Mike???? Love from Johannesburg South Africa ❤ love his RP app and content

[@Vincent-z3n]

I don't think he meant that decreasing the body size makes you live longer because of the link of with-in species size and longevity, but because in getting smaller while maintaining lean body mass, you will have to restrict calories which has indeed been shown to be a reliable strategy of longevity (in every model organism studied and there does exist evidence for humans as well).

[@optispan]

Interesting! Here’s a video that dives deeper into body size and aging. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJvLZ4qYoL-erNksi=yd9hg7O1Zs1xg3c9

[@ThrivingBodyFit]

Also, the risk that having high weight has on heart health regardless of whether that is muscle or fat. Moderate weight with high muscle mass probably safe. Moderate weight with high fat, probably not. High weight, just not. Doubly worse if high weight high fat.

[@topofthemornintoya]

the problem with this format is that when someone mis-interpret's a statement, there isn't the opportunity for clarification which leads to bad communication of ideas

[@nicholasarapis]

That’s a good observation. We reacted to some tweets by Dr. Charles Brenner, to which he replied… Which led to us having him on the podcast (episode comes out Tuesday). Taking the conversation from Twitter/react content to in person was a big improvement.

[@stanete]

Now Dr. Mike should react to this video

[@nicholasarapis]

That would be a dream come true for me! Ha.

[@topofthemornintoya]

[@nicholasarapis]

@@topofthemornintoya As of now we’re only doing in person interviews. But we’d love to travel to Mike or host him in our studio!

[@orkinn]

Great show and reaction! I have a question about your take on NMN. Why is there a distaste for it? From what I’ve seen, experts like Dr. David Sinclair and others present compelling science, even if they’re not claiming it’s 100% effective. The studies and reports I’ve come across, along with Dr. Mike’s input, suggest NMN shows promise for longevity. Could you elaborate on your perspective and share where I can find the sources that back your view? I’m really into researching this myself, so I’d love to dig deeper. Thanks!

Lane Norton is a good example of this. Just have fun with it and pick your spots carefully. Dr Mike was a great pick because he so funny. I’m sure he would enjoy this critique. Love this channel.

[@dez6278]

I personally don't like using "doctor" for anyone other than medical doctors. It's confusing for people speaking about health but who have a PhD in math or science, and don't get me started on nurse practitioners with a DNP (doctorate in nursing) who want to be called doctor.

[@yiannis.demetriou9696]

[@bobsmom7364]

Maybe have a dislogue with "The Other Dr. Mike" ftom NY who deals with middle and lower class clients and the truuths of their lives...multiple jobs, no health insurance, few health education opportunites, lack of childcare. While i appreciate the mission to bring health to the masses, i don't know if concierge health care can make a dent for the population that needs it most.

[@jgoldian47]

Mike is the GOAT

[@anthonyhopper7830]

I look at the healthy aging movement as a "wide tent" movement. It can accommodate a wide array of views ranging from super-optimism to deep skepticism. People with these views share some ideas/perspectives in common--and that allows them to work together on common goals (for laypeople = advocacy and funding). The only individuals who wouldn't fit in are cynics (who believe either that nothing at all can ever be done to slow/reverse aging or that nothing should be done...).

[@BigBadWolf..............]

The real question concerning disease is early detection. We can detect breast, colon, and a few other cancers with minimally invasive techniques and procedures. If we get to a point where a blood test can detect cancer reliably then maybe early detection will catch a lot of cancers before they spread to other organs or areas.

[@ChrisKnightJames]

Great video. I like this format a lot

[@ats89117]

The seed oil part was interesting. Maybe Matt could do a show on the Omega-3 / Omega-6 PUFAs and how this balance may affect longevity?

[@nicholasarapis]

Thank you for the suggestion! I added it to our master doc of episode ideas. We do Omega checks at Optispan and have our recommendations of omega 3 - omega 6 ratios. So I think there’s two points we can dig into. 1. Seed oils/Omega-6s 2. Omega ratios

[@erastvandoren]

There is no solid science on the ratio, and o-6 are not bad. Just take algae oil to make sure you get your DHA

I'm going to join the consensus here. Periodic videos in this format are great and Dr Mike is one of the funniest guys on YT. But I'll add a question that I would love to see Matt address one day: what does think about the idea constantly repeated by De Grey that caloric restriction mimetics like Rapamycin are not very effective for long-lived species like ours because evolution had no reason to adopt mechanisms to combat long famines (as opposed to short ones)? He keeps repeating this idea to his broad audience in the longevity space but I've never seen it addressed head-on by Matt in any of his many Rapamycin videos. Thanks.

I wish Mike would stop saying on multiple podcasts that we'll have solved all diseases in 16yrs. Hell, I'm still waiting on my flying car we were promised by the year 2000. He was on the medical Dr Mike's show and said that and medical Dr Mike said it won't happen and explained drug approval and that 1 drug often interferes with others and causes other problems so even if a drug could do that, not everyone could take it. (I was made diabetic by a mood medication so I get it.)

[@blammela]

Also who will be disease free in 20 years? We barely include women in medical studies. It takes an average of 7-10 YEARS for a woman to be diagnosed with endometriosis which can a be debilitating condition that effects a huge percentage of women…… we can barely detect a heart attack inn women and so on and so on….

How about a 6'1 person at 240 vs. a 6'5" person at 240. If I was 6'5" or taller, I would not want to be under 200 lbs. Why no mention of how height factors into the equation.

[@glassman3333]

He’s not really though. He was talking a lot about these concepts in his interview with the other Doctor Mike.

[@MrLugar45]

​@@glassman3333exactly. I also understand where he's coming from. I'm not an IT expert, but read a book about AI. If we look at the game of chess, we've been playing this game for hundreds of years. We gathered knowledge about it, wrote books about it and some mastered the game by thousands of hours of practice. Then we build chess computers with rule based software. "if opponent does this, then computer does this". Those computers were pretty good, to the point they could beat chess masters. Then with AI we build a new sort of chess computer, not rule based anymore. It looked at thousands of games between chess masters and learned the patterns in their strategies. This AI chess computer was so good it beat the rule based computer 100 to 0 and also beat chess masters 100 to 0. You now have an AI computer that is way better than what we as humans gathered in hundreds of years. Now the scary part is, someone made a 2nd AI chess computer. This time the computer didn't learn patterns from watching humans play. It only knew the rule book of chess and played thousands and thousands and thousands of games against itself, learning new patterns, finding out what works and what doesn't, to the point that it now created its own never before seen strategies. This AI chess computer version 2 now learned chess with basically no human intervention, besides a human inputting the rule book of chess in the beginning. This version 2 computer played against the version 1 AI computer (the one who learned patterns from seeing masters play) and beat that computer 100-0 in 100 games. So just as an example of how AI learned itself to play chess in a few hours (by simulating those 1000s of games), and got to a level sooo much higher than anything we as humans could reach after hundreds of years of playing this game. We are used to a certain pace in developping in science, but one new AI application can disrupt everything we thought we knew about how long it takes to develop in certain areas. One very interesting topic in that regard is DNA research. It's extremely complicated to find out which part of the DNA is which gene. It used to take multiple PHD students multiple years of their time to find 1 part gene. At the pace we were going before AI it would have probably taken us multiple centuries to find out all we want to know. Not to mention the cost to fund those PhD researchers. AI now started doing this research for us and every part it learns to solve, makes it better, faster, more efficient, to the point that it might figure out the entire function of all genes in a matter of a few years. This is huge in researching causes of disease, and thus in solving the diseases. However at the same time I'm not sure if we will be able to keep up with all this new knowledge and if we can really market new medicines very fast, given FDA protocols and so on.

[@mrnerdguy1]
