Episode description

In the world of tech titans, competition extends beyond the boardroom to space conquest and extravagant lifestyles. However, one of the most intriguing competitions focuses on reversing the aging process itself: the Rejuvenation Olympics, Bryan Johnson's brainchild.

Quickly rising to the top of the leaderboard is Julie Clark, a single mom in her 50s earning less than $100k per year. Today, she joins the show to teach you how to defy aging with her budget-friendly routine, which includes regular exercise, sauna sessions, a balanced diet with limited refined sugars and grains, and affordable supplements.

Despite not having a billionaire's budget, Julie's aging rate — 0.665 (she only ages 66 out of 100 days) — is remarkable, demonstrating that longevity is within reach for many, without breaking the bank. Unlike many of her counterparts in the Rejuvenation Olympics, her routine is somewhat ordinary. She spends $27 a month on a gym membership and $79 a month on the longevity supplement NOVOS. Julie consumes about 16 ounces of a variety of vegetables daily, snacking on carrots, radishes, and peppers during her workday. She limits the amount of refined sugars and grains she eats, and at least three times a week, Julie uses the sauna for 20 minutes before taking a cold shower.

Through these simple, affordable health and longevity methods, Julie is considered a top competitor at the Rejuvenation Olympics — measured by the DunedinPACE test, the gold standard for assessing the pace of human aging. This test analyzes DNA methylation marks in white blood cells, providing unique insight into an individual's rate of aging.

In this episode, you'll uncover the diverse approaches to anti-aging with me and Julie, showcasing that while there is no one-size-fits-all solution, healthy habits, including exercise, diet, and smart supplementation, can significantly impact healthspan and lifespan. Whether you're a billionaire or an average Joe, the key to longevity may be simpler and more accessible than you think.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Achieve optimal health on a budget with minimal investment

A 55-year-old woman is a top performer on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard by spending just $27/month on a gym and $79/month on one key supplement.

Resolve fatigue and hair loss through IV chelation therapy for heavy metals

Unexplained exhaustion and hair loss in her 40s were resolved after about 15 rounds of medically supervised IV chelation therapy to remove heavy metals like tungsten, lead, and mercury.

Incorporate Novos supplement stack for enhanced longevity

A key part of her protocol is a supplement from the company Novos, which combines a powder called 'Core' with an NMN capsule called 'Boost'.

Manage MTHFR gene symptoms with choline instead of methylfolate

For her MTHFR gene mutation, she found that taking choline was more effective for managing symptoms than high doses of methylfolate, which made her anxious.

Create a 'cup of Christmas' latte with bone broth and greens

She makes a daily green latte with bone broth and greens based on a recipe from Dr. Kara Fitzgerald's 'Younger You' program that she describes as tasting like a 'cup of Christmas'.

Choose NR for enhanced energy and stress resilience over NMN

After trying both, she subjectively feels that NR (nicotinamide riboside) 'raises the floor' on her energy and resilience to stress more effectively than NMN.

Utilize sleep mask pressure to enhance relaxation and sleep

The gentle pressure of a sleep mask against the face can promote relaxation and sleep, similar to a weighted blanket, independent of its light-blocking effects.

Implement Norwegian 4x4 protocol to enhance VO2 max

To boost VO2 max, she performs the Norwegian 4x4 protocol once a week, which involves four cycles of four minutes of hard effort followed by three minutes of easy recovery.
