I wonder, in addition to the immune system method, could Biological age also be measured by how much somebody naively buys into whatever objectively bad medical information they receive from the "public health authorities" and their pharmacists, and have conjured up by their own runaway imaginations and faith based superstitions?

I feel like it's probably measurable. Maybe I'll work up a Benjamin Buttondom (Buttondumb?) points system, it would pair well with the immune system one, ya know, cuz ya can't neglect to factor in high-risk behaviors such as "absolute blind trust in government regulatory agencies, corrupt healthcare systems, and Big Pharma" when estimating the modern human lifespan 🙃

Hey Doc,

I've been hearing more about Metformin, with some low carb docs even feeling like it's closer to supplementation than anything. From what I understand, it helps lower insulin resistance, hence its assistance with prediabetes and diabetes. Any information or thoughts on how useful it is if someone is already low carb and have increased insulin sensitivity?

David- at the conference they brought this up and found metformin helpful for longevity IF you are diabetic or Insuljn Resistant but NOT if you were already Insulin Sensitive.

My focus is on improving Insulin Sensitivity so that you need less medications/supplements.

I will be eager to hear what you learn about slowing the aging process. I keep needing reminders. Learn some and enjoy some. Hey, can you get me one of those shirts? I’m a size large.
