Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize aesthetics to enhance public perception of health
Despite achieving stunning internal health biomarkers, the public's negative perception of his gaunt face forced a shift in focus to improving aesthetics.
Implement aggressive Sculptra protocol for collagen rebuilding
To rebuild collagen, he uses two vials of the biostimulator Sculptra every six months, which is more than the company's recommended dose of one vial per year.
Beware of allergic reactions to donor fat transfer products
He experienced a severe allergic reaction to Renuva, a donor fat transfer product, which caused extreme facial swelling and forced him to discontinue the therapy.
Preserve collagen to combat age-related loss
Starting in your 20s, you lose 1% of your collagen every year, resulting in a 75% loss by the time you are 80 years old.
Increase daily calories to enhance facial volume without sacrificing longevity
Increasing daily calories from 1,950 to 2,250 allowed him to gain 15 pounds and improve facial volume without negatively impacting his longevity biomarkers.
Adjust lutein intake to prevent skin discoloration
He reduced his lutein intake from 20mg to 15mg because the high dose was turning his skin yellow, leading people to mistakenly think he had liver failure.
Avoid under-eye fillers; choose PRF for safety
He strongly recommends not using fillers under the eyes as they can migrate and become a 'nightmare,' suggesting under-eye PRF as a safer alternative.
