VO₂max & High-Intensity Exercise: Preserve the Cardiovascular Ceiling

This article completes the Guidefinances longevity exercise series. Begin with Exercise May Be the Best Longevity Investment, or revisit Stability, Balance & Mobility, Strength & Power and Aerobic Endurance. The aerobic-endurance guide asked: How long can we keep going? High-intensity cardiorespiratory training asks a different question: How much work can the cardiovascular system produce when […]

Strength & Power: Build Physical Reserve Before You Need It

This article is part of the Guidefinances longevity exercise series. Read the introductory exercise guide, or explore Stability, Balance & Mobility, Aerobic Endurance and High-Intensity Cardiorespiratory Capacity. Muscle is often discussed in the longevity world as though muscle mass itself were the objective. A more useful hierarchy is: Muscle → strength → power → physical […]

DIY Fasting Mimicking Diet:

Fasting occupies an unusual position in longevity medicine. The biological rationale is interesting, the metabolic effects are measurable, but prolonged water-only fasting is difficult to tolerate and can become medically problematic surprisingly quickly in the wrong person. The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), or Dieta Mima Digiuno™, was designed to find a middle ground: eat a […]

Blood Tests and Longevity: Where Is the Best Value?

A blood test is a measurement system: a relatively inexpensive way of finding cardiovascular risk, metabolic dysfunction, deficiencies, organ abnormalities and changes over time that may justify doing something differently. In that sense, blood testing belongs alongside blood pressure, body composition, fitness and basic preventive medicine, rather than alongside speculative anti-ageing treatments. The useful question […]

DNA Methylation Tests: Can You Really Measure How Fast You Are Aging?

DNA methylation testing may be one of the more interesting developments in the consumer longevity market because, unlike a conventional blood test that tells us what cholesterol, glucose or vitamin D happens to be at a particular moment, an epigenetic clock attempts to use patterns across DNA to estimate something much broader: whether the biological […]
