I probably Screw up Lay and Lie Too!
Some wonderful handful of you commented on the use of “way” instead of “weigh all the odds”. Those of you who know me well actually wanted to know if it was deliberate. While I honestly appreciate your faith in me and my sense of humor, I can assure you it was an undetected spell check
Voting: Making an Intelligent Choice
Today is the day for the fabled mid term elections. We are bombarded on all sides with contradictory information in the form of facts. The truth of the matter is that most of these things do not play on our intelligence, they prey on our emotions. It’s actually similar to buying behavior. A study of
Were you Tricked or Treated!?
I hope you had a fun Halloween. I spent mine in the great white north with some great people. Speaking of tricks or treats this past week was really a fun one for me in science because: 1) A huge NIH sponsored study showed a direct correlation between the amount of Omega 3 in the
All of a Sudden, Aging is a Thing
For quite some time now I have been telling you that aging is a disease. A disease can be treated and, in some cases, cured. Of course, in our tradition that means drugs and drugs have side effects. The famously anti-supplement, anti- alternative medicine journal drug company mouth piece known as JAMA, the Journal of
Suddenly Aging is a Thing Part 2
I read a recent article in Forbes that stated that the Fountain of Youth may be hiding in plain sight. Wanna guess what the hidden fountain was? Telomeres of course. What was sad is that this concept is now 10 years old and that 9 years ago I wrote a book about this very thing,
Omega 3’s Good Science vs. Bad Science
I was asked one of the best questions I ever heard about Omega 3 fish oils by a reporter who was doing a story on them 2 years ago. He said, “Why is it so hard to get the truth about them! Do they work or don’t they!” The easy answer was of course they
Telomeres in the news!
This has been big week for telomeres in the news. The biggest points should not surprise you since I have been writing about them for 10 years! The first is finally a study that acknowledges that shorter telomeres are associated with a higher cancer risk. One of the news commentaries even uses my trademark phrase
Drug Like Fish Oil Proves Cardiovascular Benefit
For several years now a drug company called Amarin has been trying to get their drug Vascepa accepted by the FDA for several medical indications. Before we get to this there are a few things you should know. First there was a long long delay in the FDA approval even though the drug was approved
Short Telomeres Cause Functional Decline
It’s odd to talk about telomeres out of the context of aging since they are so intimately related to why we get old. Over the past 9 years I have often written to you about how shortening of the telomeres advances the aging process. Indeed, the Life Length Test which I offered a discount on
Six Ways to Heal Your Gut
The microbiome-also known as the bacteria that live in your gut- is a big part of how things happen in your body. While not directly related to aging YET, it is directly affected by age and is huge in terms of your overall health. You’ve heard me say a thousand times, “Take Care of Your
Seven Ways to Stay Younger!
Having just returned from the Great White North and having met some “old” friends and some new ones as well I have a different perspective on “Youngness” now that I want to share with you. But first a reminder: There is a test for your Biologic Age that is based on solid science and reproducible
Prestigious Medical Journal Finds No Benefit to Fish Oil in Preventing Heart Disease
You may remember an email I sent to you a few months ago. I described the flaws in a study published in JAMA- the Journal of the American Medical Association. The biggest flaws were the fact that the study was not a study at all but a meta-analysis which means it’s easy to skew data
Telomeres and Yeast Infection
First a quick update on Stem Stim HF for the lucky few that got the information and ordered. As anticipated we sold out to our best customers at our best price in about 1 day with the limited quantities we had. Those of you who ordered should be getting it by the end of today.
Going Going Gone- My New Hair Loss Formula is Selling Out Fast
Ok I made a mistake! I sent an email out this morning on what is about to become a holiday weekend and lots of people are going on vacation. I was so excited about Stem Stim HF my new and truly remarkable hair restoration formula- derived from real stem cells- that I went ahead and
Announcing a New Product Stem Stim Hair Growth!
Ok I need your full attention for few minutes because stem cells are pretty close to Rocket Science and I don’t want to mislead or confuse you. Stem Stim HF is a real bona fide stem cell derived product- I am not just using the words “stem cell” to entice you. You may recall I
No Longer a Matter Of Time- But a Matter of Energy
I specify Chronologically versus Biologically so you understand the two are not necessarily married to each other. I have reviewed enough telomere tests to see a big difference, at least for some people. I have also spoken not only about telomeres, but about what I consider to be the forgotten link to healthy living- the
Where Have You Heard This Before?! Take Care of Your Telomeres!
Over all the years I have been talking about telomeres, telomerase and life extension.. I have had to listen to an endless sewing circle of people, some of them famous tell everyone that telomerase therapy increases the risk of cancer. I have repeatedly said it does not and explained why but hey I am no
When Should You Take More?
I have often gotten the question about dosage of fish oil. How did I come up with 6 caps a day? The answer is actually fairly simple but comes in 3 parts. 1) I tested 150 people who had low Omega 3’s and found the average value needed to restore their Land’s ratio (Omega 6/3)
The Pied Piper of Aging
How do you combat the Pied Piper of Aging? Showing Up and having good habits Really Is Half the Battle! Now I will expand on this a bit but first I want to share with you a few quotes I really enjoy. Among them is the anonymous, “Do nothing You’ll be just as productive!” and
WOW!
WOW! I have been inundated recently by negative reports on all kinds of supplements. The “fish oil is worthless” thing never seems to get old. But ironically sales are up up and away on the global market. Funny you’d think if something doesn’t work it would disappear. All this is in spite of the onslaught
The Energy Waterfall
Many moons ago when I was a freshman in Med School I was given the task of transcribing notes from a lecture. As fate would have it that lecture was on something known as The Electron Transport Chain. In simple terms this is a cascade of steps down hill each of which release energy and
