Even though I don't have type 2 diabetes, I sort of subscribe to the idea that everybody benefits from lower blood glucose, including those without diabetes. So, that's a probiotic that I take. I don't have any involvement with the company; the company's called Pendulum. But I take their glucose control
probiotic.

Before bed, I tend to rely on ashwagandha ... So, I take a big dose of ashwagandha and glycine. And again, I take that magnesium l-threonate. And those are kind of things that I think help with reducing cortisol and making it a little easier to
sleep.

I'm also very diligent about the [supplement] brands that I buy ... Having looked at third-party testing, I find the brand Jarrow [and] the brand Pure Encapsulations to be two of the most reputable companies out
there.

Women post-menopause are so unbelievably susceptible to osteoporosis and osteopenia with the loss of estrogen. Unfortunately, many women in that situation are not getting hormone replacement therapy, and so they're doubly susceptible to it. I think there's just a cultural belief that women don't need to lift weights; and if they do, it's very light. But the truth of it is you really need to lift heavy things to make your bones
stronger.

Rule number one is you have to make sure you're getting enough protein, and this is especially true if you're over 50—because if you're over 50, you start to become resistant to the effects of protein. That's called anabolic resistance. And loss of muscle mass in people over 50 is a significant driver of
mortality.
Peter Attia's #1 Nutrition Rule: Consume Enough Protein
For folks who are also concerned with climate change and the effects of anthropogenic CO2, regenerative agriculture probably has more potential to attenuate that than anything else inclusive of finding the entire transportation
grid.

If we went out and got the best whole genome sequence money could buy... we still wouldn't be able to impute, from a risk standpoint, what you can gather from a very well-collected family history. And the reason for that is most genes by themselves are not
deterministic.
A Well-Collected Family History Is More Important Than the Most Comprehensive Genetic Test
The aging process, in some ways, there are some aspects of it that are moving in the wrong direction the moment you are born. In other words, the moment a fetus comes into this world, there are certain aspects of aging that are only getting
worse.
Some Aspects of Aging Start Getting Worse the Moment You're Born
You talk to a person the day before they're going to die. I mean, they would give anything and everything they have for more chance at life. Despite how high their motivation is, there's no runway
left.
When's the Right Time to Start Trying to Increase Your Healthspan?
Here is where those whole-body scanners are abysmal. They have very low specificity. What that translates to in English is they have a lot of false
positives.
MRI Scans Are High Sensitivity; Whole-Body CT Scans Are Low Specificity
The less you can pay attention to social media fads and your news feed on Google or whatever, the better. Acknowledge that there is surprisingly little known about the relationship between nutrition and
health...
Surprisingly Little Is Known About Optimal Nutrition; Epidemiological Studies Are All We Have
Even if you don't have type 2 diabetes—and that, today, is just defined by a threshold of average blood glucose above 140 mg/dL—even if you are not in that category, it still appears that your mortality goes down the lower your average blood
glucose.
Low Average Blood Glucose Reduces Mortality Risk; Muscle & Sufficient Sleep Are Beneficial
It's better to probably err on the side of caution and make sure your vitamin D is probably somewhere between about 40 and 60—and if you're not achieving that through natural exposure to sunlight, which many people are not, then you're probably better off
supplementing.
Consider Supplementing With Vitamin D to Achieve a Blood Level of 40-60 ng/mL
I take a brand that I've tested because you always want to be careful about contaminants here, and it's made by a company called Carlson's ... I take their EPA and DHA daily as
well.

I actually think part of the problem is our food today is far less nutrient dense than it once
was.
