Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage next-gen peptides for enhanced weight loss
Newer drugs like Tirzepatide and Retatrutide, which combine multiple peptides, offer even greater weight loss effects than single GLP1 medications.
Explore microdosing GLP1 medications for health and lifespan benefits
An interesting new hypothesis is whether microdosing GLP1 medications in healthy individuals could offer health and lifespan benefits.
Learn from resveratrol research failure to guide future investments
GSK invested $720 million in resveratrol research based on initial hype, but the results could not be replicated, leading to a total loss.
Utilize canagliflozin to extend lifespan in type 2 diabetes management
The SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin, a medication for type 2 diabetes, was found to extend male mice lifespan by 14% in a robust study.
Reject popular supplements that fail lifespan tests
The rigorous Interventions Testing Program found that neither the senolytic fisetin nor the NAD precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) extended lifespan in mice.
Leverage rapamycin to enhance lifespan by up to 25%
Rapamycin is considered the 'golden child' of longevity research, as it consistently extends both male and female mice lifespan by 17% to 25%.
Receive twice-a-year cholesterol shot to lower LDL by 50%
New small interfering PCSK9 inhibitors can lower LDL cholesterol by about 50% with just one injection every six months, dramatically improving adherence.
Choose non-ablative lasers for effective skin aging treatment
Modern non-ablative skin devices offer nearly the same reduction in fine lines and wrinkles as older ablative lasers but without the significant recovery time.
